Comment 9 for bug 569601

Ok, let's go one by one...

For me this is broken since some point on Karmic, but I can't remember any other detail...

I currently have installed:

gnome-pilot: 2.0.17-0ubuntu5
gnome-pilot-conduits: 2.0.15-1.2
evolution-common: 2.28.3-0ubuntu10

I have currently the Backup conduit enabled (if I enable the others I just receive more errors when launching the sync, and none of them works).

I've already put the USB timeout to 0 a couple of months ago, but nothing changed and yes, I've tried to launch gpilotd just before the sync...

Here you have the terminal output of gpilotd when in Bluetooth:

Killed

Please note that I had to kill it because when it reaches the last line, the error message "Unknown conduit, name="gpbackup1" appears in a window and most of the times I cannot click on "OK", looks like it's frozen. However I cannot see this behaviour when doing the sync on Bluetooth.

Hopefully this will help you narrowing down the root cause...

Just let me know if anything else needs to be tried/tested!

Thanks.
