B. I created a /etc/dev directory and created the two ttyUSB0/1 nodes by
hand, pointing all pilot devices to the static device entries. This
solves all udev problems.
This worked! It was weird... udev seemed to be creating the nodes
(although it took a little while), but when I statically create the device
entries, pilot-xfer is much happier. So far, all I've done is back up, but
that's finally working. :) Now I'll try more complicated things like
evolution sync.
I've had little luck with evolution. It seems to crash a little bit more
often on startup since I've updated the pilot rpms... I don't know if that's
just a coincidence or not. Evolution has always crashed 2x per day for me.
One error I got was:
GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 160 (): error 'Device or
resource busy' during 'pthread_mutex_destroy ((pthread_mutex_t *) mutex)'
aborting...
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog
I managed to sync one contact. When I tried to sync my calendar, it started
to do something and then I got a message on my Treo saying "The connecttion
between your handheld computer and the desktop was lost. Some of your data
was NOT backed up. gnome-pilot v.2.0.13."
Then a minute later on my computer: The application
"evolution-exchange-storage" has quit unexpectedly. When I select "Inorm
Devolopers" and select evolution, it says "This application has bug
information, but Bug Buddy doesn't know about it. Please choose another
application."
Then I get a message saying "Evolution tasks have quit unexpectedly"... then
"evolution calendar has crashed unexpectedly".
The installed RPMs for evolution have newer version numbers than the ones on
the http://zeniv.linux.org.uk/pub/people/mark_adams/ site, so I didn't
install them... should I install them even though their version is older?
Thanks...
