[Synce-devel] Trying to sync PocketPC with Ubuntu Dapper

[Zsuzsanna Sukosd]

Hi,

I'm reporting the result of trying to sync my Pocket PC with Ubuntu Dapper
(failed).

First of all I haven't been able to install the package called
"syncekonnector" because it doesn't seem to be in the repos. I looked at
UbuntuForums and they say other applications can be used instead so I just
proceeded as on the Wiki pages. Thought that was worth mentioning as
"background".

Following the "Connecting your device (WIndows Mobile 2003)" instructions *I
got a value of 2 for #Cfgs= .
*
Brand and model of my device: HP iPAQ rx3700 , Windows Mobile 2003
PC: Packard Bell Easynote A, running Kubuntu Dapper Drake, kernel version
2.6.15-27-386

I used the instructions for "eps=2" (the number of lines beginning with E
and the eps value were different).

***@zsuzsi-laptop:~$ sudo synce-serial-start

synce-serial-start is now waiting for your device to connect

***@zsuzsi-laptop:~$ synce-pstatus
synce-pstatus: Unable to initialize RAPI: An unspecified failure has
occurred


So it doesn't work. :( Would really appreciate some advice!

Thanks, and viva el OpenSource!!!
