HOWTO: Syncing Smartphones with SynCE & Multisync

[Stormx]

Right, the file is now hosted at:

http://www.dython.net/z/hosted/storm...ver-new.tar.gz

Its basicly just a modified version of the one found at one of the sources I mentioned in the first post... Taking account of the new kernel directory. Meh. Im sorry. ill get it hosted in a different spot too

In the past location, the server got wiped, and the domain was taken by crawlers!

[Dandelion]

thanks!

let's see if i can get it to work now

[edit]

well obviously I can't

The file untars okay now, but during

sudo make

I get this error message:

dandelion@adam:~/kernel-2.6-driver$ sudo make

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

So there seems to be a problem.

The next steps:

sudo rmmod ipaq
modprobe usbserial

are no problem, but in the last I get an error:

dandelion@adam:~/kernel-2.6-driver$ sudo insmod ./ipaq.ko
insmod: can't read './ipaq.ko': No such file or directory

any thoughts on what's happening?

[Stormx]

Strange, because that file *should* be there... hmmm...Try

sudo insmod ipaq.ko

Im not sure if its a permissions problem... but it shouldn't be. Ack... I am so confused. If you ls -l in that directory, does it show an ipaq.ko file?

[bioinfo_dude]

I tried downloading the from the new site (http://www.dython.net/z/hosted/storm...ver-new.tar.gz) and found the same problem as Dandelion.

Stormx thanks for helping out with this: I tried ls -l and ipaq.ko is not in the directory.

Any suggestions?

[Dandelion]

nope the file is not in the directory.

Well, first of all many thanks for this thread as I eventually managed to get some files of an SPV C500. I did have some issues though.

This specific machine is used by 100% newbies, I replaced their owned Windows XP box with ubuntu and the above only works with my login (as a sudoer).

How can I know set it up so that all four users can plugin their phones (two C500's) and automatically mount the device to browse the files? Not really interested on sync at the moment...

Is this possible?

[disturbedsaint]

this is my error outputt

For kernels > 2.6.15 you have to use the SVN version of kernel-2.6-module, see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/synce-de.../msg00231.html

I've just tried it, but unfortunately I didn't get to work.
I still get the error mentioned here (kernel: ipaq.c: ipaq_read_bulk_callback - nonzero read bulk status received: -2). Note it doesn't say -84, but -2.

Maybe we have to use the synce-programs from SVN too?

[Bone Down]

I am getting the following error:

insmod: can't read './ipaq.ko': No such file or directory

I will subscribe to this thread in the meantime.
