Simple question really, I have an old Palm Tungsten T5 That I mainly use for
E-books on the road and am having a devil of a job to get it to connect to
Opensuse via cable ( USB ) or bluetooth.
I have been trying on 13.2, have installed Kpilot ( KDE3 version ) from repo
which has pulled in all deps ( I think ) and it does not detect when the
Palm is connected even thought I can see in the logs that it is seen and as
far as I am aware it is all working fine. Could be just looking on the
wrong tty which is no problem and quite easy to fix???
Also with Kpilot I notice that it cannot find the Kpilot deamon aven though
it is there??
However on Bluetooth it is seen and sends the key which I enter into the
palm and then that is it, nothing happens after that! I have googled and
read most of the problems about the Palm having problems remembering/saving
connections and just wondered if anyone has had any luck in getting this
piece of old hardware working through USB or Bluetooth.
This is no big deal, I am just messing about really

Remove K-Pilot.
Use J-Pilot.
Add your user to the dialout group in User management.
Launch J-Pilot, go through the Preferences. Make certain you choose the right databases. Under the ToDo tab, best not to have any of the check boxes marked.
In conduits tab, leave Sync Manana, Sync Expense, and Sync KeyRing unmarked, mark the others.
(You can always add one or more of those later, once you are familiar)

Cheers Fraser will give that a go later ( just got in ), also after a bit of
head scratching and messing about it seems that the Palm is not seeing the
Linux connection as a PC, in trusted devices it shows up as a printer???
Probably why I cannot pick the PC up with a normal scan from Palm, as I said
no biggy just wanted to see if it could be done.
Maybe my bluetooth on the lappy is not configured right yet
I will have a google and a look see later.
Thanks.
