I don’t get a connection with synce-kpm. Is there any log I could check?
I’ve installed synce-hal, synce-kpm, synce-sync-engine, libsynce0, librra0, librra-tools

I’m running ubuntu (notebook), WindowsMobile 6.1 (HTC Touch Diamond 2)

No FW running.

Hi Guido,
My phone is an IPAQ514 and my OS is Ubuntu 9.04: I have installed synce-kpm and it seems working well, however I don’t understand how (and/or where) to get data (addressbook, Calendar …). Currently I use Evolution, but I could use Kontact, too.
Thanks
Carlo

To make the testing easier, there is no purpose in running/testing synce-kpm as long as the command “pls” (or “synce-pls”) does not return a directory listing. SynCE-KPM uses the same data connection, meaning if pls does not work, synce-kpm for sure will not work either.

Can you please provide with the following details:
* output of ifconfig -a (After you have connected the device).
* Are you running a firewall?
* Are you running things like SELinux / AppArmor
* Is the device setup to use USB connection for ActiveSync ( verify by going to Start > Programs > ActiveSync > Menu > Connections. The checkbox should be activated and the drop down box should read something like USB.

Please send the output / answer for the above questions. This will allow me hopefully to help you get the connection working.

Kind Regards,

Guido Diepen

Hi Guido I'm having trouble with getting synce-kpm working on openSUSE11.1 and KDE4.3.1. I followed the tutorial at http://en.opensuse.org/Synce but when I connect my WM6 device nothing happens.

Hi Guido.
Now it’s working fine again. I’ve noticed that after erasing a partnership and adding a new one, all the data in Evolution is shown twice. Is it an Evolution problem or it has to do with synce-kpm? When a new record is added while syncing, some fields are not shown either, but the data exists and can be display when editing the record, isn’t it strange? Another question is it possible to sync using bluetooth instead USB?
Cheers.

Hi Roger,

This probably is related to a problem with a faulty library in the current packages. I have already created a post on my blog about this also. Please be patient and try to update your packages regularly. There should be new packages available within some days.

Kind regards,

Hi Guido.
I’ve followed this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1035920.html and everything was fine till today. I can’t sync anymore, synce-kpm doesn’t show the partnerships. I erased them from my PDA and try to create a new one but synce-kpm doesn’t show the list of items to be sync, so I can’t create partnerships. Does anybody have this problem? And what can be done to solve it?.
Thanks for helping. All the best,
Roger

Hi Peter,

This appears to me as a packaging problem. Unfortunately I am not an OpenSuse person, so I don’t know too much about the packaging in OpenSuse. I do know that there is a person active on our synce-users mailinglist that is active in packaging for OpenSuse. Therefore, I would like to suggest you to send this question to our synce-users mailinglist.

Sorry that I can’t help you directly, but hopefully the mailinglist can help you furhter.

Kind regards,

Guido Diepen
