Nothing. Most versions of &kpilot; don't even have
|
||||||
|
a <option>--debug</option> option, and will complain if you use it.
|
||||||
|
For those versions that <emphasis>do</emphasis> have it,
|
||||||
|
use a value between 1 and 4, which will control the
|
||||||
|
amount of debugging printed (a little).
|
||||||
|
Using a value of 1 will print a fairly complete call trace
|
||||||
|
without the really-boring functions, while 4 will include every trivial
|
||||||
|
function in all of &kpilot;.

The pilot device (usually <filename

serial port the &PalmPilot; is actually connected to.
|

To link the &PalmPilot; device to the correct serial port, you can

either fill in
|

<filename

The permissions for the serial port should be such that you can write to

it. This is most easily done by running the following (as root):

Certain databases (from third-party software manufacturers)
|

|
appear not to follow the standard database layout.
|
||||||
|
If you can find out what the creator id of the database is,
|
||||||
|
you can add it to either the
|
||||||
|
<guilabel>Backup Only:</guilabel> list or the
|
||||||
|
<guilabel>Skip</guilabel> list in the

How do I do an infrared (<acronym>IR</acronym>) HotSync?
|

|
</para>
|
||||||
|
</question>
|
||||||
|
<answer>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
First of all your &PalmPilot; has to actually support
|
||||||
|
<acronym>IR</acronym> HotSyncs. This can be achieved through various
|
||||||
|
means: &PalmOS; 3.3 and higher include support for it; there is an
|
||||||
|
<acronym>IR</acronym> enhancements package for older &PalmOS; versions;
|
||||||
|
<application>IrLink</application> from IsComplete apparently has the
|
||||||
|
same capabilities. Check out the <ulink
|
||||||
|
url="http://www.palmone.com/us/">PalmOne</ulink> web pages for more information.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Assuming your &PalmPilot; now has <acronym>PC</acronym> HotSync support
|
||||||
|
and it is setup to do <acronym>IR</acronym> HotSyncs (in the HotSync
|
||||||
|
preferences on the &PalmPilot;), we can turn our attention to the
|
||||||
|
<acronym>PC</acronym> you will be synchronization with. It needs an
|
||||||
|
<acronym>IR</acronym> port. For laptops, this is trivial, desktop
|
||||||
|
<acronym>PCs</acronym> may require some extra hardware.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Your &Linux; kernel will need to support <acronym>IR</acronym> and the <acronym>IRCOMM</acronym> protocol.
|
||||||
|
For stock
|
||||||
|
&RedHat;
|
||||||
|
systems, the following command should
|
||||||
|
setup <acronym>IR</acronym> support (as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>):
|
||||||
|
<screen width="40">
|
||||||
|
<prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>modprobe</command> <option>ircomm</option></userinput>
|
||||||
|
</screen>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other distributions should follow the <filename>IR-HOWTO</filename>.
|
||||||
|
Once <acronym>IR</acronym> support in the kernel has been activated,
|
||||||
|
you need to make devices for the <acronym>IR</acronym> ports.
|
||||||
|
The <filename>IR-HOWTO</filename> suggests (as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>):
|
||||||
|
<screen width="40">
|
||||||
|
<prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>mknod</command>
|
||||||
|
<option>/dev/ircomm0</option> <parameter>60</parameter> <parameter>64</parameter> </userinput>
|
||||||
|
<prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>chmod</command>
|
||||||
|
<option>666</option> <parameter>/dev/ircomm0</parameter></userinput>
|
||||||
|
</screen>
|
||||||
|
Next we need to start some daemons for <acronym>IR</acronym> services:
|
||||||
|
<screen width="40">
|
||||||
|
<prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>irattach</command>
|
||||||
|
<option>/dev/ttyS<replaceable>n</replaceable></option></userinput>
|
||||||
|
<prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>irmanager</command>
|
||||||
|
<option>-d</option> <parameter>0</parameter></userinput>
|
||||||
|
</screen>
|
||||||
|
Here <filename class="devicefile">/dev/ttyS<replaceable>n</replaceable></filename>
|
||||||
|
is the serial port
|
||||||
|
the <acronym>IR</acronym> port is using. <replaceable>n</replaceable> could be 0, 1, or some other
|
||||||
|
number depending on your hardware setup.
|
||||||
|
Follow the instructions in the <filename>IR-HOWTO</filename> for assistance
|
||||||
|
(for desktop machines, it's usually a setting in the <acronym>BIOS</acronym>).
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Once you've gotten this far, just make <filename class="devicefile">/dev/pilot</filename>
|
||||||
|
point to <filename class="devicefile">/dev/ircomm0</filename>
|
||||||
|
and you're ready!

The daemon and &kpilot; communicate using &DCOP;

|
for several purposes: logging messages, changing the &HotSync;
|
||||||
|
type, and exchanging configuration information.

|
<para>Which &DCOP; interfaces are there?</para></question>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<answer><para>
|
||||||
|
The daemon has two important interfaces:
|
||||||
|
<interface>LogIface</interface>
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
<interface>KPilotDaemonIface
|
||||||
|
</interface>.
|
||||||
|
The <interface>LogIface</interface>
|
||||||
|
interface is used to record messages in the sync log
|
||||||
|
on the &handheld;, and is rarely used.
|
||||||
|
The <interface>KPilotDaemonIface</interface>
|
||||||
|
is the more important &DCOP; interface,
|
||||||
|
and is used to control the kind of &HotSync; that
|
||||||
|
&kpilot; will do.

There are three &DCOP; functions that control what kind

the daemon will do next:

<function></function>

&kpilot; &kpilotver; is an application that synchronizes your &PalmPilot; or
|
||||||
|
similar device (like the &Handspring; &Visor;, the &Sony; &Clie; or other
|
||||||
|
&PalmOS; devices) with your &kde; desktop, much like the Palm Desktop &HotSync;
|
||||||
|
software does for &Windows;. &kpilot; can back-up, restore, and &HotSync; your
|
||||||
|
&PalmPilot;. It can synchronize the built-in applications with their &kde;
|
||||||
|
counterparts. It also features additional conduits for third-party software.

<title>Overview of &kpilot;</title>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
&kpilot; consists of two parts: the &kpilot; daemon, which sits
|
||||||
|
in the system tray and handles the actual communication with
|
||||||
|
the &handheld;, and the normal &kpilot; program, which lets
|
||||||
|
you configure the daemon and view the databases on your
|
||||||
|
&handheld;. In normal operation, you will not need to use &kpilot;
|
||||||
|
itself very much, since the daemon handles communication unobtrusively
|
||||||
|
and synchronizes your data to &kde; applications like &korganizer;
|
||||||
|
and &knotes;. &kpilot; is integrated into &kontact; as well.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
It is vital to configure &kpilot; before use. At the very least,
|
||||||
|
you need to tell it which hardware device to use to communicate with
|
||||||
|
your &handheld;.
|
||||||
|
Configuration settings are described at length in
|
||||||
|
the <link linkend="configure">section on configuring &kpilot;</link>.
|
||||||
|
For the impatient, the <link linkend="configwizard">configuration wizard</link>
|
||||||
|
can set up most things for you.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Once &kpilot; is configured, you should make a <link
|
||||||
|
linkend="backup">backup</link> of your &handheld; first. That is to be on the
|
||||||
|
safe side. Once that is done, you can just leave the &kpilot; daemon running in
|
||||||
|
the system tray, and all you need to do is press the &HotSync; button, and
|
||||||
|
changes in the &handheld; data and the &kde; applications will be <link
|
||||||
|
linkend="synchronization">synchronized</link>, so that the information matches
|
||||||
|
again on both the &handheld; and the desktop.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
If you want to <link linkend="page-viewers">examine</link> the
|
||||||
|
data stored on your &handheld;, the built in <link
|
||||||
|
linkend="page-viewers">viewers</link> can be used. This allows you to view
|
||||||
|
memos, addresses, &etc;. There is a generic hexadecimal database viewer for
|
||||||
|
advanced use.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Finally, &kpilot; can be used to <link linkend="installer-app">install</link>
|
||||||
|
new programs and databases on your &handheld;.

The expressiveness of the <guilabel>No Backup</guilabel> configuration

item, which prevents specific databases from being backed up (for space, speed,

or stability reasons), has been extended.

In particular, the old format listed only

creator values, while the new format can list wildcard database names
|

as well as creator values.

The value set in the configuration dialog will be automatically adjusted to

the new format.

In &kpilot; &kpilotver;, the way conduits are programmed changed,

and you will need to use newly compiled conduits. If there are

old conduits on your system, &kpilot; will prompt you to remove them.

This chapter describes the synchronization process
|
||||||
|
that &kpilot; uses, focusing on the &kpilot; daemon functionality.
|
||||||
|
You may sync your &handheld; using the <link linkend="builtin">internal
|
||||||
|
viewers</link> and / or <link linkend="conduits">conduits</link>, depending
|
||||||
|
on your personal preferences. Conduits allow external applications to interface
|
||||||
|
with the data on your &handheld;.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|

|
It is a good idea to make a <link linkend="backup">backup</link>
|
||||||
|
of your &handheld; regularly. Other than making backups, it should rarely be
|
||||||
|
necessary to do anything other than drop your &handheld; on the cradle and press
|
||||||
|
the &HotSync; button. The &kpilot; daemon icon in the system tray will flash
|
||||||
|
indicating that a sync is under way.

The memo application has a drop down box
|
||||||
|
for the memo categories defined in the &PalmPilot;.
|
||||||
|
Here category <quote>All</quote> is selected.
|
||||||
|
Underneath the drop down box is a list of memo titles.
|
||||||
|
These are the first lines of the memos, just like
|
||||||
|
in the &PalmPilot; memo application.
|
||||||
|
Clicking on one of the memo titles in the list
|
||||||
|
box will display it in the text box labelled
|
||||||
|
<guilabel>Memo Text:</guilabel> to the right.

||||||

When a memo is selected, you can use the buttons
|
||||||
|
<guibutton>Export Memo...</guibutton> and
|
||||||
|
<guibutton>Delete Memo</guibutton>
|
||||||
|
to export the selected memo to a file
|
||||||
|
or to delete the selected memo.
|
||||||
|
Exporting a memo requires
|
||||||
|
you to give a filename; the memo
|
||||||
|
is written to that file.
|
||||||
|
Take care not to overwrite existing files with this action.
|
||||||
|
Deleting a memo does not affect the &PalmPilot;
|
||||||
|
until the next &HotSync;.

The

Importing a memo does not take effect until

the next &HotSync;.

If you import a memo and decide that

|
you do not want to have it on the &PalmPilot;
|
||||||
|
you must perform a &HotSync; (copying the memo
|
||||||
|
to the &PalmPilot;) and then delete the memo record
|
||||||
|
from the &PalmPilot; or the viewer, and &HotSync; again. It is not possible to
|
||||||
|
delete newly-added records from the built-in applications.

In short, databases are all files stored in your &handheld;. A database
|
||||||
|
can be either a record database, which stores dynamic information created by the
|
||||||
|
user (for instance, the addresses or the todo information), or a resource
|
||||||
|
database, which tend to be static (for instance the applications).
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
The Generic DB Viewer is a tool to view and analyze databases stored on
|
||||||
|
your handheld, especially record databases. It helps a lot creating new conduits
|
||||||
|
and to debug existing ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<warning><para>
|
||||||
|
While it is possible use the database viewer to edit, add and delete records, you
|
||||||
|
should really know what you are doing, otherwise you may damage your data. Use
|
||||||
|
the viewer applications or conduits to edit your &handheld; data instead, in a
|
||||||
|
normal usage scenario.
