Hello,

I installed SynCE on my OpenSUSE 11 machine.

When the Windows CE device is connected via USB I get errors after SynCE
related commands.
For example, the following I received after running "pls":

** Message: Device
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_45e_ce_noserial_if0_serial_usb_1 not
fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Device
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_45e_ce_noserial_if0_serial_usb_0 not
fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Odccm is not running, ignoring
Pls: Could not find configuration at path '(Default)'

Some more info:

The problem could be firewall (have you configured SuSEfirewall2 to
allow SynCE traffic?) or NetworkManager interfering.
The logging goes via syslog to /var/log/messages IIRC. So have a look there.

Thank you for the answer, Tejas.

Unfortunately still have problems...

1. I have firewall configured to allow ALL traffic (INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT
policy ACCEPT).

2. Also I prepared /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ppp0 file with following the
instructions from synce
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation/OpenSuse.

3. Now, when I plug in the WinCE device the device the following messages
are displayed on it:

Connecting to host...
Device Connected.
User authenticated.

Great. Unfortunately, just after few seconds a window opens with the
following message:

"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Winsock services
could not start due to critical error (Error %d). Please reconnect your
device. If the problem persists, see the Troubleshooting section of
Microsoft ActiveSync Help".

4. The following are dumps from /var/log/messages. What looks strange is
that each message is written twice (duplicated).

Never seen that message before, almost looks like an error on the
device. Does it work with Windows ?

Hello!

The device is a LXE MX-7 handheld computer.
But the same problems happen also on some other WindowsCE devices I have (e.g. Symbol / Motorola). So, it does not seem to be a device-related problem. All the devices connects with no problems to Windows & ActiveSync.

The iptables -L prints as follows:

-------

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

-------

Peter.

Subject: RE: SynCE & OpenSUSE 11 & WindowMaker

What is the device ?
What's the output of iptables -L
Never seen that message before, almost looks like an error on the device. Does it work with Windows ?

Dears,

I removed all the old parts of SynCE installed on my Open SUSE 11.0 computer.

Having a clean system, I downloaded source packages. As only the base functionality is important for me (pcp, pls, pstatus, etc.) I downloaded:

librapi2-0.15.1.tar.gz,
libsynce-0.15.1.tar.gz,
synce-hal-0.15.tar.gz
synce-connector-0.15.1.tar.gz

After this I unpacked them and installed in a standard Linux way (configure/make/make install).

Now the WinCE device connects, but after 2-3 secs after connecting the message I mentioned about earlier appears on its display:

"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Winsock services could not start due to critical error (Error %d). Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, see the Troubleshooting section of Microsoft ActiveSync Help".

What have been a real surprise for me is that I CAN PING OR EVEN LOG into an FTP server run on the device while the above error message window is displayed. Being logged standard FTP file transfer commands work with no problems! I can put and get files from the device.

Unfortunately, after "pls" command I get:

** Message: dccm is not running, ignoring
** Message: Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_45e_ce_noserial_if0_serial_usb_0_0 not fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_45e_ce_noserial_if0_serial_usb_0 not fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Odccm is not running, ignoring
pls: Could not find configuration at path '(Default)'

I am also wondering why every entry in /var/log/messages is doubled? Is there a unwanted concurrency? Two interfering tasks? If it was it could be a source of problems, undoubtedly...

Thank you in advance for any idea on how to solve my problems.

Peter.

I'm guessing this is the device, but I've never seen one calling itself
a flash device before. Is there an option on the device somewhere to
change how it connects ?

Yes, it is. Unfortunately there are no configuration options available. The only one is to enable/disable USB connectivity at all :)
