I have just started using Ubuntu and am trying to convert all my Windows stuff to it. I found the above work-around very helpful. Now I can connect and use J-Pilot with my PDA. But there's a problem. It only works one-way. I can put stuff on my J-Pilot and sync and find it on my Centro, but not the other way round. In addition, what I put on J-Pilot disappears in the process.

The read out from J-Pilot says

Doing a slow sync.
Syncing DatebookDB
Syncing AddressDB
Syncing MemosDB-PMem
synctime: Palm OS version 5.49
synctime: Setting the time on the pilot... Done
MemosDB-PMem.pdb (Creator ID 'PMem') is up to date, fetch skipped.
Fetching 'AddressDB' (Creator ID 'addr')... OK
Fetching 'DatebookDB' (Creator ID 'date')... Failed, unable to back up database DatebookDB
ReadDBList returned = -1
palmos_error = 0
dlp_strerror is No error
Finished.

It's just not doing the Datebook, and I wonder if I were to make changes to the Memos whether that would get done either.

This may be a different problem from the one this thread started on, but I hope someone can help me. I really would like to switch completely from Windows to Ubuntu, but I can't if I can't sync my Centro.
