Synce problem - only partially working

Kloss123 · August 17, 2009, 4:05pm

I am trying to connect PDA via Synce to Linux and simply cannot get through.
I tried with odccm and now going through OpenSuse installation and installed as suggested synce packages:

 zypper install synce-hal rra-tools libopensync-plugin-legacy
 zypper install rapi2-tools
 zypper install kde4-kcemirror
 zypper install kde4-kio_rapip
 zypper install synce-kde

I have the plugins:

# msynctool --listplugins
Available plugins:
file-sync
synce-opensync-plugin

and I cannot connect. When I run synce-kmp it does not detect device at all.
It cries about odccm

~> Running dataserver
running the GUI Part
Initializing DataServer
odccm is NOT running!!

I cannot install odccm for it conflicts with synce-hal>:(

When I cradle the device and try to see log with pls


~> pls
** Message: Hal reports no devices connected
** Message: Odccm is not running, ignoring
pls: Could not find configuration at path '(Default)'

Seems nothing works… but on the other hand it does connect:

Now I am completely lost.
I mainly want to copy files across and be able to access the external network.
I saw on forums some guys had success, I still have not found the solution.

Thanks for any suggestion.
I am running KDE 4.3.0
OpenSuse 11.0 with kernel 2.6.25.20-0.1-default

I have exactly the same problem.
Did you get any further with this. I’m stuck.

Hi

Good luck Marten

Better idea, replace it with a more controllable one.

I’m having the same problem too.

dmesg shows the device connected.
pls says HAL reports no devices connected???
Running synce-kpm in CLI gives

I notice that you installed quite a few different app than what I did. I only installed the synce-kpm (including the dependencies) from the suse/synce repo and also the rapi2-tools.

I don’t know where to go from here. Information seems spread all over the place and most is old.

I have installed synce-kpm. In “www.synce.org/moins/SynceInstallation/OpenSuse/…” I’ve read, that there is a bug in openSUSE 11.2 Opensynce python plugin. They recommended me to install Version 0.22-154.1 as of 04.01.2010, what I’ve done (but a Version of October 2010). During installation I got the message:
YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackageInstallation.ycp:143
/sbin/yast2: Zeile 454: 23243 Speicherzugriffsfehler $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

What can I do? Can anyone help me?
