Okay... sorry it was a little confusing... I haven't messed with hotsyncing on Linux in a while, unfortunately. BUT, I
DO remember all the steps I took and I can easily break it down more for you...
I had to figure out what port the handheld was being recognized at, so I typed in the command....
That allowed me to see what was hooked up via USB. The lines in bold below will show you "where" my Clie was found...

When I executed that command, I set my handheld to hotsync so I knew what was going on and what it does. It searches for a USB "channel" to connect to its software and just cycles from So... If you can see the pattern, it connects to
ttyUSB0 and then
ttyUSB1 every time and uses different USB device addresses from 2 through 8...
Make sure you have good connectivity before plugging in settings to your JPilot or Ximian Revolution, or whatever you have chosen for a sync product.
Make sure that you have "modprobe" installed and working [can't help you with that... SHOULD BE pre-installed with many distros ;-) ] enter the following command... (as root I believe)
you won't see any text result... that means it worked....
test a backup of your Clie.... this worked for my Clie TJ27 and it should work for MANY devices...depending on your USB "port"
THIS command... run as your "user" and NOT root.
Code:
$ dlpsh -p /dev/ttyUSB0
this caused the following to display...
Code:
Port not connected, sleeping for 2 seconds, 4 retries..
Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Please press the HotSync button now... Connected
Welcome to the DLP Shell
Type 'help' for additional information

Exiting.
I earlier typed in help and it will allow you to browse your Clie as a "disk" or OS and play with it.... [I just looked around to test that I was connected to the system and not JUST the Memory stick....
I set the time...
couldn't remember what df was...
and I saw information about my "username" on my Clie. type exit... and it will "end the hotsync"
You know you got it connected.....
use the following (or modify if necessary if my example doesn't work for you...) in JPilot or whatever sync program to allow Hotsync.
in the device line...
The other settings are there to play with, but be careful and write down the different steps you took when attempting this. Referring to them in times of problem or system reconfiguration will allow you to set up your Clie again in case of system failure or just switching distros.
remember. If it works... Make sure that you restart your computer (Save your settings, too) and make sure it HotSyncs after a full system restart. Make sure the settings "stick".
Best of Luck... From one
to another
