Ah, you're using the packages in the ubuntu archive itself. I would
strongly recommend adding the synce ppa to your package sources and
upgrading, I honestly don't know how the main archive packages are set
up.

If you would rather stick with the older ones, see if there is a file
called

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.synce.SyncEngine.service

I am a bit green when it comes to some of the techo stuff, so may need a bit more detail in the explanations - for this I apologise.
However l have in my software sources added http://ppa.lauchpad.net/synce/ubuntu karmic main
and http://ppa.lauchpad.net/synce/ubuntu karmic main source code.

Whenever I open terminal and input the command "synce-sync-engine"
and then connect my Htc touch diamond, my phone is recognised and synchronises perfectly - every time and continues to do so while the terminal remains open.
The moment I close the terminal, the connection is terminated and I am no longer able to sync.
All I really want to know is how do I get the sync engine to start without opening the terminal, and then have it stay open for the duration of the connection.
It should be possible - it did it before.

Thanks for any help

Haven't done karmic builds yet, but the jaunty ones will work ok. Change
karmic in the above to jaunty, then with update manager or synaptic
package manager, do an "update" or "check", then an upgrade.

That's what the
file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.synce.SyncEngine.service
is for, do you have it ?
