And on those times when it is impossible I just restart gpilotd with control-applet. I guess you have tried the obvious, created a symlink from /dev/pilot or /dev/pilotusb to ttyUSB1? Given that device to some group you belong to, like wheel? I guess you have tried with pilot-xfer, which seems to be a bit more reliable than gpilotd, at least it will give you explicit error messages. (Some say that coldsync is the most reliable and stable suite for syncing pilot, I haven´t tried it but probably shall as soon as I find time to do it.) What I didn't get it to do are: - Restore crashes every time, this I found the hard way out. Inserted 256MB sD and it reseted pilot and emptied it's memory. Luckily, hah, hah, I had a synced backup which I was unable to restore with restore - zire-photo conduit crashes gpilotd every time - Crashes my whole Dell workstation at work. The whole computer just freezes which I think is a sign of a hardware bug - To get it work every time I have reported gpilotd crash to both Fedora bugzilla and Gnome bugzilla. I strongly suggest that if you get it work you test the restore before you lose anything. I didn't actually lose anything as I was able to restore things manually with pilot-xfer but it took some time. I will be booting to windows to make backups until I have time to test coldsync, fix the bug or wait to get it fixed by someone who has actually worked on gpilotd. :-) Regards, -- Mauri Sahlberg <Mauri.Sahlberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Claymountain Solutions Oy
