Could some one help me ?

This is the var/log/messages when I push hotsync button !

Thanks a lot :-)

ok I do not have an OS5 device but a NR70V which his syncing with Jpilot just fine. Maybe it works the same way with OS5.

It seems like the Visor module is loading ok and is assigning a USB serial port -> /dev/ttyUSB0

So if pilot link and Jpolit are installed you can specify /dev/ttyUSB0 as you're serial port and it should work fine. Try this as root first because users do not have access to the device file.

What I absolutly don't understand are the SCSI messages. The Clie should show up as a SCSI disk when you use MS Import but not during Hotsync :confused:

Assuming OS5 systems behave the same as older OS 4.1 Clies, pwromwood is correct; use /dev/ttyUSB0 (or have /dev/pilot sym-linked to it) for syncing. If using pilot-link:

pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l

will list everything on the PDA and confirm you have a link. You will need to hit hotsync, give the system a moment to load the modules, and THEN start pilot-xfer. Works for me using an N760 on RedHat 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0.
