I tried the ln command from root. I first tried the /dev/ttyusb0 to /dev/pilot. The link was made. I then went to Ximian Evolution to set up the desktop. The conduit was set to look for /dev/pilot.
Ximian sent back an error message that said "Could not examine the port for Cradle (/dev/pilot) The port should point to a USB serial port. No such file or directory (2).
I went back to Konsole and did an ln -sf command to change the link to /dev/ttyusb1. The same thing happened.
? Before this, I did an ls command of the root directory's dev folder.
Many ttyusb devices are listed. Is there some way to effiiciently find the correct device?
I checked the Case of the device name and updated the link to reflect the correct case (ttyUSB0). Now Ximian doesn't give me the error message, just nothing at all.
If I am using Ximian Evolution for the desktop to sync with, do I need to do anything to configure pilot link as well?
