Thanks I figured it out it is: synce-matchmaker replace 1 or 2. It won't work here. The I stop the connection and try to start it again and then I got this error synce-serial-start was unable to start the PPP daemon!
Please help,it is the only thing that doesn't work here. I don't won't to go back to Bill's nightmare. After hours of work and lots of sleep lost, I finally managed to make it work.
I have Ubuntu 5. I've only had it set up for half an hour, but so far everything seems to synchronize fine with Evolution, both ways. And the appointments show the correct time zone. So I may keep Linux yet! I got the source files for the last version of SynCE, 0.
Had a lot of trouble doing it too: debian installs the binaries elsewhere than the original source and there can be a problem with MultiSync if we don't install the binaries in the same place where the debian packages do. Here is what I did. Note that I prefer using Synaptic and Nautilus in superuser mode than apt-get, tar etc.
I uninstalled all SynCE packages. I figured this was necessary to avoid conflicts with the debian packages. Unfortunately I didn't write them down; you'll have to try compiling to see from the error messages which ones you need. You have to at least install automake1. DO NOT follow the instructions exactly though. Here is what I did for each module:.
Hope this will be useful. Just copy and paste it. OR, just download the rpm files for those package and use those to install instead of compiling. That's what I did and it's a bit simpler. For example, to install synce-trayicon and this is verbatim : sudo alien synce-trayicon I'm just about to upgrade my ubuntu from Hoary to Breezy. I wonder if snycing my Pocket PC will be easier with the upgrade. I hope so anyway. No, unfortunately it hasn't improved.
I can get my hx partly synchronised with Evolution. Contacts work fine, Calender doesn't do anything and task are only updated oneway from the pda to Evolution. For me, there's to much that doesn't work like it should. Well, I just followed the instructions as was told in the opening post and everything seems to work fine with my Pocket Loox !
I'm using Ubuntu Breezy Badger. Just make sure you select the right calendar and adressbook in MultiSync at Ximian plugin options.
Thanks :D :D. Maybe this is a crazy idea, but I was wondering if there might be some correspondence between the people having appointment-time problems and what their hardware clock is set to.
I haven't had any troubles with that, but my hardware clock is set to local rather non-standard for linux - but what Windows prefers. So far I've got most things working nicely with Breezy, but I had to hard reset my Axim and erase my old partnerships to make it work.
Still working on the tray icon and gnome-vfs. One detail I would like to fix, however, is whether you can synchronize multiple evolution calendars - I'm guessing the answer is no, because Pocket Outlook wouldn't be able to distinguish between them - but if anybody knows of a way, I'd love to hear it.
I have a Orange SPV e Thanks in advance. After a lot of troubles and compiling my own kernel ipaq driver etc. Now i want to get the appointments created in evo into my pda. Please advise. Thanks, Marco. One step closer! I patched the kernal module and now i can connect Using partnership index 2. OK, I think this worked. But then multisync finds no new changes?
I tried to install synce 0. I was able to compile and install all the sources except synce-rra Tpo" ". Thanks, Marco Just one sync pair. Edit it, click Synchronization Options, and click Always have on Both Sides that's not the exact wording, it's the last one on the list. Now everything on one should appear on the other. My Own Problems: Synce works and multisync doesn't.
Or something. Cuz I can connect just great with Synce, can see my files and manipulate stuff at the command line. But once I fire up Multisync, it says there's no changes, and nothing ever shows up in Evolution, regardless of resyncing and new or old items.
Are there any multisync alternatives? Is there any other way to back up my pocketPC without copying individual files to my HD? Is this easier with a PalmOS device? I'd been considering switching back Hi all! Any clue please : T. A Regards. Is your pocketpc in the cradle and turned on? Did you start dccm first? And create the partnership as directed at the beginning of this thread?
In that order? You have firewall rules that may prevent SynCE from working properly! So i did again 5 - 6 On 6 i can't see this time the quick message ".. Yes i tried but got an error, something went wrong above. I'm trying to FIND! Thanks for your answer i'll post it my other questions.. I've had the trouble with appointments not showing up on the PDA. Those have been solved in my setup Breezy, HP with Synce 0. Instead of compiling synce and all yourself, add the debian unstable repository and install libraa0 librra0-tools synce-dccm synce-multisync-plugin and synce-serial from Debian unstable.
That is follow the first post howto, but before anything else, add the debian repository. It relies on the original hotplug script that came with synce 0.
Put everything in one function to make load in background If not the hotplug init process will stall waiting for dccm to get running, but dccm will most likely be loaded after X has loaded and either the KDE or Gnome trayicon has loaded. I currently have a pocket PC and have followed this tutorial to set it up. Its connected and pstatus shows alot of information. What is the simpliest and easiet way to do this? OK I'm not a bash programmer of any sort - but this mostly works for me: Using gedit created a file called "sync" It contains: sudo synce-serial-start dccm synce-matchmaker INDEX multisync Save normally and chmod to make it executable.
Ruinning in a terminal window or dbblclick, put in the root password and I'm up on Multisync. Synchronization tests on my machine seem to show no problems - adding items on the PC and on the PPC work as best as I can tell.
Good Luck!! I'm on Breezy:razz:. I'm on Breezy:razz: Did you follow only the initial howto, or did you apply my modifications? I'm plugging and unplugging my pda daily and it just works. There are problems with the breezy versions of synce, but either the debian unstable deb's or the aliened rpm's are quite good. But how do you get Kitchensync working without syncekonnector???
Did you finally get it to sync?? I am thinking about buying this one but syncing is somehow essential for me so i am really looking forward for your experience with it. If these people can paste infos here Do you mean people get the Axim X30 to work?? Thanks, Lorenzo Lorenzo, I see this is quite some time ago, and I don't know if you got it sorted, but this will hopefully help for the other people with the same problem.
I had the same issues as described above. Going home last night, I started thinking about the whole IP setup for synce. So I disabled the wireless unit on my iPAQ hx btw , and what do you know, it works! Selecteren van voorheen niet geselecteerd pakket synce-serial. Uitpakken van synce-serial uit Instellen van libsynce0 0.

I am one of the AMD64 guys, and I have looked through my Makefile and can't work out which part of it I have to modify in order to get rid of the -Werror? Hi tyr, If you are trying to build synce-gnome-vfs and are following my instructions then the files you want to modify are in the src subdirectory. They are the Makefile. Remove the -Werror from both of these files and rerun.
Once you have done this it should build ok. How about this oddball problem, I can browse the entire contents of the PocketPC Dell Axim X5 using a file manager but multisync with the plugin doesn't transport anything to Evolution.
Anyone have suggestions for this? The device stayed connected but the PPP connection failed. Hi, Just wanted to share, as it might encourage someone, that using that guide from I finally managed to solve one of the biggest problems keeping me double-booting I still am, because of a few other issues, but that sync thing should be the decisive push : I never got my Axim x30 to sync or even communicate with Breezy. With dapper and this guide, following it exactly step-by-step, all seems to work so far.
However, what I could not get to work was connecting to an exchange server and then marking it local and then trying to sync it to my pda. Had no success, and the exchange plugin crashed most of the time. But well, decided to migrate the data found in my PDA to my local calendar and currently looking for alternative ways for publishing the data somewhere for those times when I wont have my PDA with me can't run a server in my own pc.
Google seems to support only one-way traffick, but the search continues. Any recommendations would of course be highly appreciated. I have followed the instructions, but i ended up with this error message, in the end. I've copied the last 3 commands i have given. I saw many people had the same problem, but i could not find the solution.
I use Dapper Drake, and i try to connect a Pocket Loox Please help. I am trying to connect iPAQ to ubuntu and have followed all the instructions several times in this thread. One thing I did notice that I was not offered the opportunity to check the following stuff as suggested:- 2 synce-serial setup will be invoked by apt, follow this through using the default settings, unless you have reason to do otherwise.
Should I see something in Places? Now, I can confirm that I wasn't offered this option either, so I read the manuals for the synce-serial-config command and simply did that manually after the install. I actually kept doing it every time in the beginning, as otherwise it didn't seem to work, but I've stopped that practice as it seemed redundant. Now, below, I think you skipped one step, namely, running dccm.
Not sure if that answers your question, but I have the synce-trayicon running, which was also discussed in this thread I think, and I also have an entry under the Places, and one on my desktop, and I didn't do much besides following the guide word by word and thinking along.
Oh, and I'm using an Axim x I still have a few minor problems but I won't throw them all out here right now to keep it shorter. Maybe that helps a bit I have tried following several guides around this forum, and also in the Wiki. I have tried both options several times. My specs: Ubuntu Dapper 6. Device gets correctly detected with Ipaq driver. I am running Firestarter, but I have a rule to allow all connections from Does anybody have any other suggestion to solve the RAPI error?
I have even installed Windows under VMWare, but the connection is very unstable, and I haven't been able to get it to work except for once, and only for a couple of seconds. Suggestions to help me get it running under VMWare would also be welcome, but I would definitely prefer to have it running under Ubuntu natively I am going crazy here, banging my head against the wall Me too.
I am really getting to like ubuntu. I am resigned to sticking with Dreamweaver on XP for my web work but the one thing that is really holding me back now is not being able to link to my iPAQ. This one item may tip the balance and keep me on Windows. Can you tell me how to write a script and perhaps paste your own script in for me to use?
TIA Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Was busy for a few days. Here's the story. I can't really write any complex scripts but with my limited understanding of linux I simply created a random file with the necessary commands inside and made it executable and I access it from a dropdown drawer from my upper desktop panel.
Before I post it, be it noted that someone had written a hotplugger and had kindly posted it here as well in , I think but as the directories and files indicated in the directions do not exist in Dapper I have no clue how to change it to make it work. And I don't unfortunately have the time to learn writing a new one right now either.
Here's the deal. I can take no responsibility about the possible side effects, as I have pretty much no clue as to why it works on my case and not in other cases. Ecexute it in a terminal. Or you could add an icon pointing to that file to your panel or smth.
However, now, the obstacle I was talking about, which makes my efforts fail in some cases, and might, possibly, be connected to your problems as well. If I plug in my Axim earlier and run the script a few seconds too early, or a few seconds too late, without the waiting in the beginning, it won't connect.
In my case, I adjusted the countdown seconds as to achieve an optimal result. Well - when I plug in my Axim it keeps trying to connect to the other side but can't unless these commands welcome it or smth.
I've seen numerous posts on the web on how people have 80 or so connects and disconnects on the USB port of their PDA, and I think I'm getting a similar effect, so if the commands are sent to the PDA while it is taking a break from trying for a few secons, the effort will be futile. This is all highly non-computer-talk, but in human language, that's how it seems to be. So, if I run the script, it tells me it's gonna wait for 5 seconds for me to plug the toy in.
Then I plug it in. Then it initiates the commands and simultaneously I can see on the sceen of the PDA that if is trying to connect. And in case the "welcoming commands" have been issued at the right moment , the pda tells you it has successfully been authorized and connected. If the commands don't get sent at the right moment, it fails. I just found a loophole, and thats where I jump through.
In my case, if I see the popup window on my PDA saying trying to connect and the dccp command and the synce-serial-start commands don't get issued before the window dissappears then the connection fails, as explained above. Oh god, yes. So far, yes. But that will be the last thing for some time now on the testing of which I'm willing to spend long night-hours while having to work during the day. But as it works, I'm sticking with Ubuntu. And if someone who can actually write a more intelligent script is reading this, please revise the hotplugger and update it for Dapper, if you can.
A revised hotplugger, which would not depend on the human pressing the button at the right time, would be much appreciated, indeed! If I disconnect my PDA as instructed earlier in this thread, I sometimes have to soft-reset my device for it to be able to connect to the PC again. Thanks for taking so much trouble with this. At the very least I have learnt how to write and execute a "script" I have been trying out your version and making as many modifications as I can think of.
However I will keep trying - thanks again. Hey ive been trying to get my ipaq to sync with ubuntu but obviously no success : i looked at the sourceforge page about it, i see that i have to apply a patch but im not entirely sure how im meant to do it, can someone give me an idiots guide on how to do this please, as i have no idea what to do. It connected once on My Loox and never again.
Once I followed your advice it worked. Fortunately my data partition is intact and I have now loaded a fresh copy of ubuntu. I am considering copying my Pocket Informant and other files to the SD card and then using that to transfer to the laptop. I am also wondering if I can do a bit of file sharing via the wireless network.
Does anyone out there have a strategy for doing this sort of thing? I'm using an Axim X5. I ran the dmesg and it showed it just like in the directions. However, when I run "sudo apt-get install librra0 librra0-tools librapi2-tools libsynce0 synce-dccm synce-multisync-plugin synce-serial" I get an error that it can not find librra0. What do I do now?
But now, when I use "synce-pstatus" it gives me the following error message: synce-pstatus: Unable to initialize RAPI: An unspecified failure has occurred From that on I can not continue! Can someone help me, please? Thanks in advance Flo. Hey everyone This absolutely baffles me. Why is this so colossally difficult! I mean this technology has been around for years. Why can't the supposed solutions actually work for all It's crazy.
Anyway, I have a Dell Axim X30 also. And I followed the inital directions and yes, I'm able to make a connection with Multisync with no problem. Click on sync Absolutely nothing! Where in hell is this stuff going? I look in the logs and everything seems fine Damn, this is frustrating. Can anyone help me NOT pull out my hair? Here is my shell output. Without dccm your PPP connection will soon terminate! This really is an aweful situation. I am willing to pay for help setting it up.
Is there another support option available? I am trying to sync a pocket pc and evolution. I have used the guides here to get sync to connect to pocket pc, pstatus works, multisync using sync and backup lets me backup the pocket pc to a folder. OK, I got it working.
Everything works fine except for Avantgo, I just don't have the time at the moment to follow the tutorial to change the iptables settings, but it looks pretty simple. Read more in the apropriate section below. You need to perform some special configuration: 1. Only if your Linux kernel is 2. I undid the changes that followed for setting the vendor ID etc.
Is there a better more elegant way to do this? Is there a method how-to to dedicate a set of usb ports to a virtual machine for a more plug and play feel? Board index All times are UTC. Get VirtualBox. You can currently utilise the GCALDaemon software to synchronise Gmail contacts and google calendar events with ubuntu software such as kontact and evolution.
In this way you can perform a three-way sync wirelessly - although you may incur a data charge for the mobile sync. For the future, there appears to be some development using akonadi to synchronise ubuntu with google.
Install the synce-dccm , synce-serial and librra0-tools packages. To sync with Evolution, you'll also need the multisync , synce-multisync-plugin , libmultisync-plugin-evolution and libmultisync-plugin-backup packages. See Installing Software. In the Terminal window, run: dccm sudo synce-serial-start Depending on your device you may have to run the sudo synce-serial-start command within a few seconds of powering the Windows Mobile device on.
The computer should now show: synce-serial-start is now waiting for your device to connect. As a last resort, run "synce-serial-abort", if the above command doesn't work. If syncronisation still doesn't work, close multisync and then run synce-matchmaker create 1 If 1 doesn't work, try 2.
