[Bug 38574] Re: [Bug 38574] Re: Pb syncing treo 650 on dapper drake

[Robert W. Brewer]

Tonight I tested a full restore of my palm device.  First I synced it with
gnome-pilot, which worked correctly from the GUI.  Next I cleared
the memory on the device.  The restore results
were disappointing.  The restore began properly, then the progress
bars started flashing back and forth wildly, then the palm disconnected
and the progress window appeared to be hung.  I could not close
the window.  I eventually killed gnome-pilot-applet and gpilotd.
I started gpilotd manually without gnome-pilot-applet and the
restore appeared to be going much better.  After several
minutes the palm reported that it was complete and prompted me to
reset the device, but gpilotd appeared to be hung still trying to
transfer data.  When
I reset the device, it got a fatal exception during bootup.  This problem was
no doubt because the restore was only partially completed.

Needless to say it appears this process is still far too flaky to
be my primary means of backing up the device.  Once again for reference
this is while running the 2.6.17.6 kernel on an up-to-date dapper drake.
