Hey folks, has anyone had any success with USB Palm devices and gpilotd?
I have a Sony Clie PEG-T615C and an IBM-R40 laptop running
5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 with an updated ports tree.
Package information...
$ pkg_version -v | grep pilot
gnomepilot2-2.0.10_2 = up-to-date with port
pilot-link-0.11.8_3 = up-to-date with port
$ pkg_version -v | grep evolution
evolution-1.4.6_1 = up-to-date with port
The device comes up as ucom0 after compiling the kernel with uvisor
support. It was registering as ugen0 before the kernel update.
/var/log/messages...
kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 3
gpilotd-control-panel starts OK..
$ gpilotd-control-applet
** Message: Unable to load host id information, assuming unset
** Message: No pilot userid/username information located
** Message: Unable to load pilot id/username, assuming unset
** Message: No pilot cradle information located
** Message: Unable to load pilot cradle info, assuming unset
gpilotd-Message: Activating object OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon

When I attempt to connect to the device from the GUI using "USB", the
GUI errors with: "Failed sending request to gpilotd"
And the terminal spits out this error:
(gpilotd-control-applet:74662): gpilotd-WARNING **:
gnome-pilot-client.gob:851: Caught exception:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
Further attempts to connect to the device produces more gpilotd-WARNINGS
about IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0.
My IDL libraries are up to date...
$ pkg_version -v | grep -i idl
libIDL-0.8.3_2 = up-to-date with port
Any advice on where to look next would be appreciated.
Thanks, Victor.
