starting synce on archlynux

Greetings,
recently Ihave migrated from Ubuntu to archlinux. I am trying to get synceto work with my legacy device. I am on a laptop and connect to the device with a USB-serial ridge.

Under Ubuntu i had libsince, librapi, synce-serial and odccm installd to handle the communications between the laptop and my mobile device. I noticed that all these programs resided in the arch repositories as well so i attempted to inastall and n them.

I successfully installed synce-libsince, synce-librapi, synce-serial, and synce-odccm (I believe all came from the community repository).

running "synce-serial-config ttyUSB0" worked fine.

I opened up a terminal and ran "odccm -f" then switched to another terminal and ran 'synce-serial-start". I wentt through the connection process on my mobile device and got the connection chirp from the device's speaker. The terminal where I had run synce-serial-start gave the same output I used to get in ubuntu with a successful connection. I then heard a desconnect tone from the mobile device and any attempt to interact using synce produced a message that neither hal nor odccm could find a device.

I copied the output from the odccm terminal as follows:


# odccm -f
** (odccm:2502): DEBUG: _odccm_interface_address: waiting for IP address on ppp0
** (odccm:2502): DEBUG: _odccm_interface_address: waiting for IP address on ppp0

** (odccm:2502): DEBUG: _odccm_interface_address: waiting for IP address on ppp0
** (odccm:2502): DEBUG: _odccm_interface_address: waiting for IP address on ppp0
process 2502: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 278.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted
#



I'm not sure what the problemis. I now dbus is installed. I ve the base arch system running a gnome desktop.

Does anyone on the list know what the problem is? Should I be installing synce from someplace other then the community repository?

thank you:-)

Probably because oddcm has gone wrong, so the device didn't receive a
keepalive signal and disconnected.

I had had similar issues with synce-hal with Arch a while ago which I
was never able to track down, my guess was that it had something to do
with a more recent version of some python or similar package on Arch.
If I get a chance this weekend I'll take a stab with odccm again and
see if I can get it to work.

Hmm, not very enlightening was it. I could knock up some messages into a
patch for odccm, but not for a while. That woukd only be a guide to
where the failure is though, since you had it working before.

I'm completely unfamiliar with archlinux, so it could frankly be
anything in the setup. How about the obvious, what's the output of
iptables -L ?

I went through, did a re-install of everything synce but it's still not working.

Would it be worth trying to build synce-odccm from source? if so, where do I obtain it? I have a basic familiarity with the standard make, configure, autogen tools; as long as I have the dependencies I should be able to figure it out.

thanks:-)

Well magically it works again, I updated synce-trayicon and did
nothing else and all is good, I have no clue what broke or why it
works but it tis, thanks for the help.

Hmm, not very enlightening was it. I could knock up some messages into a
patch for odccm, but not for a while. That woukd only be a guide to
where the failure is though, since you had it working before.
I'm completely unfamiliar with archlinux, so it could frankly be
anything in the setup. How about the obvious, what's the output of
iptables -L ?

Ah, I see I have already asked that. Uninstall ufw, check the output of
iptables -L again, it should say very little, and try the device again.

not working.
Would it be worth trying to build synce-odccm from source? if so,
where do I obtain it? I have a basic familiarity with the standard
make, configure, autogen tools; as long as I have the dependencies I
should be able to figure it out.
Not unless whoever built the package did something ridiculous.
Have I asked about firewalls ? What's the output of iptables -L
Ah, I see I have already asked that. Uninstall ufw, check the output of
iptables -L again, it should say very little, and try the device again.
$ sudo iptables -L
Password:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

It's still not working. When i run synce-serial-start, I get the connect chirp then about 2 seconds later, the disconnect beepfrom the device.

I checked the listing of all synce-related packages arclinux offers:

$ pacman -Ss synce
community/librtfcomp 1.1-3
SynCE librtfcomp library
community/obby 0.4.7-1
A library which provides synced document buffers
community/orange 0.4-1
a helper tool for synce
community/synce-kde 0.15-2
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - KDE tools and integration
community/synce-libmimedir 0.4-3
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - library that parses MIME Directory Profile.
community/synce-librapi 0.15-1
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - libraries and tools for making remote calls to pocket pc
community/synce-libsynce 0.15-1
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - libraries
community/synce-mcfs 0.1.1-5
Midnight Commander VFS for SynCE
community/synce-odccm 0.13-2
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - daemon to communicate with a handheld device
community/synce-rra 0.14-1
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - rra libraries for synce
community/synce-serial 0.11-3

community/synce-sync-engine 0.15-1
SynCE sync-engine
community/synce-vdccm 0.10.1-2
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - daemon to communicate with a handheld device



Then all the synce-related packates installed on my machine.


$ pacman -Qs synce
local/synce-librapi 0.15-1
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - libraries and tools for making remote calls to pocket pc
local/synce-libsynce 0.15-1
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - libraries
local/synce-odccm 0.13-2
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - daemon to communicate with a handheld device
local/synce-serial 0.11-3
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - helper scripts for setting up a serial connection


Am I missing anything crutial? To review, I'm trying to connect to a serial port (by way of a USB-serial bridge) so I can transfer individual text files back and forth.

Try rebuilding odccm with the attached patch.
