Connect wm6 on ubutnu

[lyllo]

hello guys.
i'm trying to connect my tytnII with ubuntu.
couldn't obtain any result with synCE, but on an ubuntu wiki i've read that wm6 is not yet supported. one thing that interested me very much is the chance to connect the ppc t least as a mass storage installing on the phone the WM5torage program.

since the thing i'm intereseted the most is to browse the folders to upload stuffs as well, i've installed the program.... but... it is not recognized at all, i activate the program and connect the usb to pc, but ubuntu stays quiet and doesn't recognize nor do anything.

is there something more should i do in order to make it work ?

tnx

How does this work as the program is for a Palm and WinXP Desktop.

I am using ubuntu gutsy and WM6 ... kinda backwards here LOL

If anyone has any tips for getting these 2 to sync that would be great! I also have a TYTN II and have had no success in getting these to sync at all with SynCE.

Thanks!

I've been attempting to get Synce working, but have utterly failed; largely because the documentation is so utterly shit.

a link to the pocket pc version. I will try it later.

What I ended up doing is getting a free hosted exchange server with http://live.mail2web.com so that at least will sync my phone and back everything up. Also I know there is an evolution plugin that will sync to exchange servers too, the only thing that doesn't work is getting cabs and other files to/from the phone and computer. As for PIM information, it all syncs OTA and is done over Microsoft Direct Push Technology.

Check out this news article, its where I got the idea from :D http://cristiantm.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/sync-wm5-wm6-with-evolution-without-activesync/

Good Luck too :D

Evolution cannot pass the @ symbol to log you into mail2web so that won't work. WM5torage is free, available in these forums and works flawlessly. Been using it for awhile, Ubuntu recognizes it as an external drive.

Hi

I have successfully got synce for file browsing and internet sharing working over USB with kubuntu 7.10. However, at the time you had to apply a linux kernel patch to get the WM6 device recognized. You also had to be running the latest synce (not ubuntu stock).

Here's the ubuntu bug report on the kernel side of things:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/192411

... the first patch listed (from the synce subversion repository) was the one I have used successfully although it looks like it has been rolled into the 2.6 tree (can't see the change in LXR for the latest stable 2.6.24.4 kernel, but I may be wrong). Here's hoping it'll just run out of the box soon.

And here are the instructions for installing the updated synce:

http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu

With the patch and updated software the WM6 device attaches and shows up as a regular network device (rndis0 I think), negotiates private addresses for the link and you can just set a default route out of rndis0 to use the internet. Strangely, I did find that I had to set internet sharing on my mobile to share via bluetooth rather than USB to get that bit working.

Sorry the instructions are a bit rough and ready. If anyone knows the location of a proper howto, do post it. I had to piece it together myself a few months back and it was quite painful.

Good luck.
