HOWTO: Pocket PC Syncing with Evolution

[impresionist]

Hello All,
I'm trying to do this issue since when I had Festy, then Hardy, then now with Interpid, no way...
Now, I followed your step one by one, and what I obtain is:

XXX@XXX-interpid:~$ sudo synce-serial-start
[sudo] password for XXX:
Connect script failed

synce-serial-start was unable to start the PPP daemon!

When I try to:
XXX@XXX-interpid:~$ PPP daemon
bash: PPP: orden no encontrada

Meanwhile when I start from:
sudo synce-serial-start, I get:
samer@samer-interpid:~$ sudo synce-serial-start
Connect script failed

synce-serial-start was unable to start the PPP daemon!


I don't know what bad I'm doing in all this...

I'm trying to connect IPAQ 6915 with WM5

Thanks in advance,

Samer

Ah, that WM5 would be the problem, then. Try wikipedia's comments on MS ActiveSync; and in these forums elsewhere, I've seen that anything after WM3 is problematic.

Okay, this tutorial has completely screwed me...

I use Lucid and I have tried for about 3 hours to get through this howto, but to no avail. Now, when I decided to don't give a flying ...., I cannot connect anything the way I want it although I could before.

I cannot connect my HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) as a mass storage device as I could before (it wont eve pop up) and I cannot connect to the SSH-server I have managed to make use of while accessing my harddrive with movies on.

Anyone who could help me to restore everything to what it was 4 hours ago? I have removed all packages via apt-get that was described to be installed in this guide.

Hi ODECIF,

to connect Your Rafael as mass storage, You have to install the freeware wm5torage on your windows mobile device.

You can find the HowTo here:

Hope, it helps,

greets,
