I have an old 3E that syncs up very well when I use Vista on my Presario and a USB to Serial port adapter, problem is I really hate Vista. I just installed linux mint 8, which I love but no luck in syncing my palm 3E. Does anyone know if I have a chance of getting this to work? If so I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
View 12 RepliesI use jpilot on opensuse 11.3 64bit to sync pim data with my Palm Treo 680 via bluetooth. This worked fine until today. Now I get the following error message when I try to sync: Syncing on device bt: Press the HotSync button now dlp_ReadSysInfo error Exiting with status YNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT Finished.
The last successfull sync was on the 20th October and today is the 24th October. I did not change any settings in jpilot or on my palm device. So I guess there must have been an update of opensuse which causes this error. But I do not now how to look up the updates during this period or how to undo them. Was there an update between the 20th and the 24th Oktober, which might affect either jpilot or bluetooth functionality?
When I try to Sync a Palm Vx to my PC through serial port I get a communication error message in the gadget. My PalmOS Devices application is already configured to use tty0 or tty1 in unsuccessfully trials. I have a lot of information in the addresses, agenda, notes, etc. and do not want to loose that information gathered for years, nor to return to Windows.
As a test, I used a serial mouse in the serial port and It didn't work. I verified the Bios Setup and COM 1 and COM 2 are enabled.
I also checked my system serial support with the following commands:
And messages were OK when compared with typical outputs. My machine is a Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz, in a U8668 motherboard (Award Software International). I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome.
I am new in Linux and don't know Bash yet. I had followed indications from Internet tutorials successfully, but I don't know how to proceed in this case.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get my palm TX to sync with kubuntu 8.10. Quickly after I place the palm on the cradle I get a warning msg that I've attached below. I did follow some directions at one point where it required me to install visor. It had sync'd a few times, but then it started giving me these errors. Eventually I tried to delete the device, etc.
The msg:
Failed to connect using device 'Cradle', on port 'usb:'.
Check your confirguration, as you requested new-style libusb

You may need to select a 'ttyUSB...' device
The palm tx can browse the net and send/receive emails wirelessly. It can sync with kpilot via the usb cable. It can 'see' the router at 192.168.1.1 when I browse to there. After browsing various websites/forums (including palm's own).
Have set kpilot to device net:any and the slowest speed 9600, but message is 'Cannot open pilot port net:any'
Message from palm is 'connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check setup and try again.'
I tried a command line which I found somewhere. The result is:
what files control the udev device mapping. I'm trying to get a fresh install of 11.3 to sync a palm pilot with jpilot.
I have created a "10-pilot.rules " file in /etc/udev/rules.d containing:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", NAME="ttyUSB%n", SYMLINK+="pilot", GROUP="users" MODE="0666", OPTIONS+="last_rule"
when I hit hot-sync I get:

crw-rw-r-- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jul 18 22:13 /dev/ttyUSB1
If spent the last 6 hours googling around and yes I'm a member of "dialout"
What is controlling the attributes of these nodes?
Oh, and P.S. Why'd they put alpha video drivers into the kernel another 3 hours wasted.
I've recently upgraded from 10.3 to 11.2 (32 bit). On my 10.3 system I was able to sync my Palm Treo, plug in cameras and they'd pop us as filesystems etc. Now, although my printer, and ipod are recognised, anything else I plug in isn't.
* When I plug my camera in and turn it on, nothing happens
* When I try to sync my Palm Treo, it seems that the /dev/pilot device isn't created by kpilot.

I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.
On my CentOS 5.2 install I've installed a dual-port serial card based on the NetMOS 9835 chipset. I've followed the serial instructions, but everything they tell me to do is already done - see setserial outputs below. I've compared these values to the lspci output (below, NetMos card is at the bottom of the output) for the card and it appears right. Problem being, I can't use the serial ports. Oh and I did use search, and looked at every 9835-related article before posting this :)

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.
Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....
This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....
I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......
There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.
Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm attempting to use a microcontroller to send MIDI messages over a virtual serial port. I want to (eventually) read them with Mixxx. I'm using an FTDI chip, so I get a /dev/ttyUSB0. I've tried spikenzielabs' Serial-Midi program, but it doesn't see any serial ports. NOTEMIDI looks really old and won't compile on my 10.04 LTS machine.

Audio sync method. "Stretches/squeezes" the audio stream to match the timestamps, the parameter is the maximum samples per second by which the audio is changed. -async 1 is a special case where only the start of the audio stream is corrected without any later correction.Searching the net makes one believe that this command is just some sort of magic.People just put it in the line and it just works. Isn't that nice?
It says nothing about how to change the TIME the audio starts syncing. Like do I want it to start 5 seconds delayed? Or what about 5 seconds sooner?What if the audio gets more out of sync as the video goes on? Can I slip it a little at a time? What? No magic?No one mentions a file that already has badly synced audio.So what -async 1 really does is simply start the audio at the beginning of the file. LIKE AS IF THAT ISN'T STANDARD PROCEDURE?So what is the exact solution to syncing a messed up video? And why can't it just do the proper "timestamp" sync in the first place?No docs, no info and you are left out in the cold.
I had to get a new workstation and its Win7-64. I found out that my Palm TX will not work on their or is supported by the manufacturer (unless u have bluetooth, I dont). So I have been trying to get it to work on my Debian. Using "Palm Devices" "Gnome-Pilot" connects fine and backs up but I dont see any kind of GUI like Palm Desktop. So I still cant work with my palm or install software etc.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgrade to 9.10 over the weekend and have an issue with connection to my Palm Centro.
I have been using ubuntu since 8.04 and have been syncing my Palm (using jPilot and Palm Desktop on Windows XP Host (in VBox) regularly. (not without usual initial troubles .
After the upgrade, I synced it once - the Sync reported error with some voice memo and was completed. My datebook and todo on Palm got updated properly. However after that one instance, now whenever I try connecting my Palm using the USB ... the Palm reboots !! I cant seem to figure out why OS upgrade would in anyway affect this particular USB connection.
My other USB drives work properly (and Palm USB sycn happens on other machines - RHEL and Mac). So, it must be something to do with USB settings on 9.10 I guess.
The new Google option in Evolution works beautifully for both contacts and calendars, and gnome-pilot syncs my Palm Centro perfectly with Evolution. Perfectly, that is, until I choose a Google destination in the gnome-pilot settings.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis happened with 09.something and again with 10.04. When I plug in my Palm Centro smartphone, it starts endless rebooting. I solved it last time by removing modem-manager from /usr/bin.But that program didn't reappear through my upgrade.
Well, when I first upgraded, then plugged in my Palm through a USB cable, the phone rebooted. Then, I was able to sync to JPilot. Attempting the same thing later, the phone rebooted continuously.Today, I seem to be able to sync again.

Some stats:I am running Mint 11, which is essentially Natty without Unity. Whatever differences exist shouldn't affect the BT stack.I have successfully paired my Palm with my laptop. A "connected" icon appears next to my Palm's entry in Bluetooth Preferences when I attempt to sync.I have successfully synced to Gnome-Pilot via USB cable, but not via Bluetooth.
I did not have this kind of trouble with Ubuntu Maverick. The hardest part in Maverick was the pairing, but once I got past that, I had no problem with syncing.I'm about to head over to Launchpad to report this as a bug, but before I do, I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some insight or maybe point out something I'm forgetting or missing.

3. I don't know how to set-up the Zire in Ubuntu.
4. I don't know how to sync data between the Zire and Ubuntu and can not even remember how to do this in Windows either. I can't remember what i did on the Zire to allow it to sync.
5. I don't know how to look-up the model number of the Zire. On the back of the case it says "m150"
I have actually been struggling with this for quite a few days so any links to nudge me in the right direction might be a huge help. Mostly things just seem to work quite easily in Ubuntu 10.04
I would like to transfer the data from Palm desktop on my windows vista laptop to my Linux netbook. The pda has stopped working so I cannot sync directly from pda to either computers.
Is this possible and if so what software do I need for the Linux and how do I do it, I would need step by step instructions as I am new to Linux and really only use it for web-browsing and skype.
