Seems like this one didn't make it to the list...

Nothing in log on PDA about gpilot

Not a log, but a message: HotSync Problem: Conn. could not be
established. Please check setup...

When gpilotd crashes with "cannot open display", my PDA finishes with
the message above immediately. No timeout.

To make sure that it's not a conduit-related problem, enable the "File"
conduit, and then enter in a shell "gpilot-install-file --later
whatever_file_you_have.prc" (this will put a .prc file in the install
queue)

I tried:
gpilotd detaches from terminal (still is seen with ps) and dies after I
hit the sync-button on my pda...

Lookes no good hm?

Doesn't look good indeed :-)
Does "pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l" work? (replace /dev/ttyUSB0 with
the actual port or your PDA)
I'd try the gpilot mailing-list...

Hi. I've got a Clie too, and I tried sync'ing with evo
once, but didn't like it since I had to chmod the device file
to a+rw in order to get gnome-pilot to access it.

I think it has something to do with weird opening and
closing of file descriptors within the combo evo+gpilotd, but
didn't bothered very much, pilot-link or jpilot do the trick
most of the times just fine for me.

Given that, I've got to admit that the idea of sync'ing
my palm with one of these exchange servers is nice. It's a pity
that the conduits in gnome-pilot do work much worse than any
other that I've tried, even the original windows' palm desktop
ones.

Hi. I've got a Clie too, and I tried sync'ing with evo

to a+rw in order to get gnome-pilot to access it.

the absolutely wired thing to me is, that my installation lost the
device-files for the clie (/dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/pilot). But I
still can sync with j-pilot, pointing at /dev/ttyUSB0 in prefs.
I dunno how this happened and I am not so firm on linux to get these files
back...

If you still can sync, sure the device file is being
recreated automatically by some means, be it devfs or udev
internal services/daemons of Linux. This is a not so trivial
issue, and I'm still looking at it. The devfs subsystem passed
from experimental to obsolete with udev very quick, and udev
itself is not very polished yet. My personal systems are a
weird mix of devfs and udev very few people dare to look at
without running away in terror, but this time is a
gnome-related issue I think, leaving appart the whole "my
<whatever> stopped suncyng" thing.

You can create any device file you would want, and even
make the automatic system save your changes for the next time.
The point is having the driver/module to actually use it, and
it is usually a task of one of these services to do the dirty
work. There are, however, distros that do it in frustrating,
alternate ways, even the old fashioned physical /dev. Just
consult with your distro's documentation if you're interested.

The good thing with Linux is that it doesn't bite, it's
usually the other way around >:) Penguins haven't got teeth
after all :D:D:D
