I got Dmitri set up. The Palm is Russian and his name is Dmitri Mendeleev =) I ran PilotSync and did the Initial Sync. At first, I set the $PILOTRATE to 115200.
This succeeded and it grabbed the user info from the Palm.
I unpacked PalmLJ-1.2.0.prc
I su'ed to root and did
% ln -s /dev/sttyS0 /dev/pilot; chmod 777 /dev/sttyS0; export PILOTRATE=115200
On the Palm, I went System->Prefs->Direct Serial->Details and set the Speed to 115200.
Then, still as root, I cd'ed to where the .prc was and did
% pilot-xfer -i PalmLJ-1.2.0.prc
It asked me to press the HotSync button, so I did.
Then, as the Palm showed "Identifying User", my console would spit up either one of these errors:
- Error accepting data on /dev/pilot
pi_accept: Connection timed out
or
Wrong packet type on queue
I tried reducing the speed to 9600 in all three places and still got the same errors.
*sigh* I'm going to deal with some snail mail.

I'd check for loose connections everywhere (my Palm V has to be in the cradle just so). Check for interrupt conflicts on serial IRQ. Also, try running
setserial /dev/ttyS0 spd_hiI gave everything the cursory jiggle and push-in... but if anything was loose, how could I get the user info successfully?
Check for interrupt conflicts on serial IRQ.
Uh... idiot question: how do I do that?
try running setserial /dev/ttyS0 spd_hi
That just gave me the prompt back. I tried again and it still gave me the "Wrong packet type".
Also, a google search has turned up some stuff. Make sure gpilotd or anything else that might be using the serial port isn't running.
I have a "4: ... XT-PIC serial". There's no 3.
Has this serial port worked before?
We've used the serial port before, but that was when Heretic was still a Win32 box. It's never been used with RedHat.
Make sure gpilotd or anything else that might be using the serial port isn't running.
% ps -aex | grep ttyS0
970 ttyS0 S 0:01 --activate-goad-server gpilotd ...
Hey, lookit that. =O =) How do I shut it down?
kill 970should do in a pinch.I did a kill -3, so it wasn't attached to ttyS0 anymore. I tried the pilot-xfer again, but I still get "wrong packet type".
=P Meh... what's the ETA on Handhelj again? =}
fuser -v /dev/pilotto see if anything else has it open.Handhelj is coming along. I'm working on mood support now, I'd like to get logins and user management done by the end of the weekend. Still needs userpic support (and gif, jpeg, png libraries), posting, entry saving, conduits...
