Just Can't Get My Treo to Sync


I have a Treo 600 that I connect via USB and the SUSE 9 Operation System.
I have read the post and tried to do this on my own but When I try to sync the phone and computer do not communicate.
I tried the following:
Pilot Device = /dev/pilot
Speed = 115200
Type = USB
Timeout = 2


~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 pilot
~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 palm
~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # coldsync -p /dev/pilot
Warning: no device on /dev/pilot. Sleeping
Warning: no device on /dev/pilot. Sleeping


I tried this with USB0 and USB1 using KPilot, coldsync, evalution, and J-Pilot
Am I missing a step or do I need to use something different.

And could someone please tell me how to tell which USB port my palm is on?

I can't help, but I have the same exact problem with my treo 90. Does anyone know what to do? I don't want to have a totally worthless treo on my hands.

omit these lines

~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 pilot
~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 palm

try this

~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # coldsync -p /dev/ttyUSB0

or this

~/bin/coldsync-2.2.5 # coldsync -p /dev/ttyUSB1

just a thought

I was able to sync without any problems with the Treo 600 and Mandrake 10.1 Official. (Plug & Play).

Do you have the visor module installed?

Also for the Treo 600 and Mandrake info check out:

Are you sure you are connecting to the right place as far as listing the USB ports???

In SuSE the ports are listed as such;

/dev/usb/ttyUSB0

Most distros do not make a seperate folder to dump the usb devices in...
