[Opensync-users] Synce iPaq 4700

[Otter <ott...@gm...>]

I am really new to Linux.  I have an HP iPaq 4700, I am using OpenSuSE
 11.0.

I have tried to follow the instructions for installation of SynCE and
Opensync form source found at http://www.synce.org/moin/FrontPage.  

At this time I been able to execute odccm -f in a terminal window and the
iPaq give an audible sound in response.

When I then execute the sync-engine command I receive the following.

I really am not sure where to begin except with the following.  This is what
appears in a terminal window when I plug the iPaq in:

sync-engine

As new as I am to all of this I must apologize to Guido Diepen for going
around the protocol and contacting him directly.  The frustration level
unfortunately reached a rather hig level.  Guido graciously replied with the
following:
Three things:
 * Do you have a firewall set up under linux? 
   --  Yes but it is not running.
 * Does synce-pls work for you? (or pls, synce-pls is the command name for 
ubuntu/debian) 
   --  No.  Tried both although I am using Open SuSE 11.0

In my limited understanding of how this is all supposed to work I sense that
tthe iPaq "Opus" is being recognized by "Rex" the HP laptop.  But that
something isn't completing in this process.

When I then try to run sync-kpm-0.11.1 the following displays:
ERROR:dbus.connection:Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:

If any one can help I would greatly appreciate it.  I do not want to back to
the dark side having seen the light.  Thank you in advance.
