Comment 2 for bug 67077

Hi Daniel,

I did one sync which worked fine. Then as usuall, the second one
failed. So I killed gpilotd after removing the pilot applet from the
panel.
I then realized that pilot-xfer was not on my sytem and installed
pilot-link.

pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l complained with
sudo pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
   Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
   Please use --help for more information
and there are no ttyUSB0 or 1 devices.

? so what did I miss? - Sorry that I didn't get further.

Running gpilotd gives:
gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 2.0.14 starting...
gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.12.1
gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [USB] [IrDA] [Network]
gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server
gpilotd-Message: bonobo_activation_active_server_register = 0
gpilotd-Message: Watching Cradle (/dev/pilot)

Thanks,
Joel Parke
