[Bug 19528] Re: problems syncing calendar and todo list, adresses works

[skippy]

I had a similar problem as poppy.

* Treo 650 running Palm OS 5.4.8
* Ubuntu Edgy Eft 64-bit
* vendor-supplied USB cable

I added the Pilot Applet to my top toolbar, and the configuration wizard
executed.  When prompted to connect the device in order to fetch the
user ID, nothing happend.  I manually inserted the visor module (`sudo
modprobe visor`), after which the applet was able to fetch the user ID
and complete configuration.

One my first sync, I enabled the following conduits:
* Backup
* EAddress
* ECalendar
* EMemos
* EToDo
* File
* MemoFile
I executed a hotsync from the Palm, and it started without incident.  The Evolution stuff was synchronized first with no problems.  During the backup portion, the process stalled, and eventually the status window simply vanished.

No BugBuddy, no kernel messages, no meaningful log data reported
anywhere.

I disabled all the conduits except Backup, and tried another sync.
Things started fine, but again the backup simply stopped and the status
window vanished.  It stalled at a different point in the process than
the first time.

I next started gpilotd manually in the console, with all the Evolution
conduits activated but the backup conduit disabled.  This succeeded.

I re-configured the conduits to disable everything except Backup and
launched gpilotd manually in the console again.  To my surprise, this
worked: a full backup was executed successfully.

So I put the applet back into my toolbar and ran yet another backup.
This worked successfully.
