Palm Treo Pro and Ubuntu Jaunty - Can't Connect

Rate this Message:
I've been trying for a fortnight now to get this working, I've trawled all the discussion groups and help pages I can find and still no joy.
I'm trying to connect a Palm Treo Pro, running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 to my Ubuntu Linux (Jaunty) PC. The linux installation is fairly clean, although I've obviously tried a few things over the last couple of weeks. The aim is to transfer files onto the Treo - synchronising calendar and address book would be a bonus, but these are not essential as the device syncs with the servers at work. Here's what I have tried... Starting with a fairly clean Ubuntu Linux (Jaunty) installation. Check does the computer see my Palm Treo Pro (running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1)? Before I plug it in to the USB port chris@old-faithfull:~$ ps aux | grep syncAnd after I plug it in chris@old-faithfull:~$ ps aux | grep sync so no difference – suggests not being seen. OK – so lets install the synce-sync-engine Before I plug in the Treo, ps aux | grep syncand when I plug it in: ps aux | grep syncSo something is happening. It looks like we have an rndis device connected. Try synce-pls chris@...: /usr/bin/synce-plsTry running synce-sync-engine chris@old-faithfull: /usr/bin/synce-sync-engine Which looks good - it's found something. Now start synce-kpm chris@old-faithfull:~$ /usr/bin/synce-kpmSynce-kpm starts OK, but does not pick up the Treo Check the firewall chris@old-faithfull:~$ sudo ufw statusSo it's not firewall. I've also followed the advice on stopping the network manager from handling the connection. Device is password protected, but I have not been prompted for the password. Try installing odccm chris@old-faithfull:/usr/sbin$ sudo apt-get install odccmNow synce-kpm starts without any complaints, but still no connection the Treo... I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Reinstall synce-hal and synce-sync-engine. If your device is password-protected try running the script "synce-unlock.py" (should be included with synce-hal). Not sure if synce-kpm does prompt for a password on connect ... that could be the problem. Also try editing /etc/synce-hal.conf and uncomment the line "loglevel: debug" to get some more verbose information.

Yes it does :) >From the one-before-last line it is clear that you have a firewall running that is blocking the initial communication between the device and your computer. Unfortunately I don't have the set of firewall rules that will make it work for you. However, I would like to ask you to completely disable the firewall (if this is an option for you), disconnect the device, and connect it again. After that I am pretty sure that synce-pls will give you more output.
