GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 158520
Extra empty ToDo items created during sync
Last modified: 2006-06-19 08:14:32 UTC
After upgrading from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3 (Evolution 1.4 -> 2.0.2, gnome-pilot -> 2.0.12) and syncing, a huge number (> 500) of bogus empty Todo items were created on the pilot (a Kyocera 7150 via serial). I then attempted to remove all of the dummy tasks within Evolution, then resyncing. This failed because the combiniation of gpilotd + evolution-data-server hit approx ~600MB memory, causing the machine to swap and pilot to timeout. Switching to "copy to pilot" allowed me to clean up the pilot, but attempting to resync again afterwards generated the bogus tasks again.
Seems not to be related to the Kyocera item. I've the same problem (same configuration) with a Palm Zire 71. Restarting from a fresh, empty task list doesn't solve the problem.
I have the same problem... I have a Tungsten T3. The first time a make a sync everything goes right but if I make another sync then there appears many empty tasks in my PDA and no empty tasks appear in evolution
I also have the same problem on my Treo 600. It syncs okay a few times then goes haywire. Am trying to determine some better daignostic information.
More details of my setup: Debian Testing with Gnome Pilot 2.0.12 built with Pilot Link 0.11.8
Just adding a me to. Have a IBM WorkPad c3 (relabel of Palm V) connected via a serial cradle and USB/Serial converter. I am running Fedora Core 3: kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3, evolution-2.0.4-2, gnome-pilot-2.0.12-4, gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.12-3, pilot-link-0.11.8-8. My workaround has been to change to "Copy from pilot EToDo" and make sure not to make changes from Evolution Tasks list.... Any word on tracking this one down?
Things are now working fine for me (fingers crossed!). What I did was completely remove all Task/ToDo related files on BOTH Evolution and my Treo600. Delete ALL the files in .evolution/tasks/local/system/ and delete the ToDo.pdb off your palm. Now sync and after that I have added entries to both Evolution and my Palm and have had no problems since. System: Ubuntu Hoary Evolution 2.2.1.1-0ubuntu4 Gnome Pilot 2.0.12-1.1ubuntu4 I hope others find this to fix things...
I just had this fail again so will have to retract my suggested work around :-( I've just disabled Task synching until further notice...
The same issue seems to be described here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/11919
I was able o reproduce this problem on my Tungsten T5 running with the latest version of evolution i.e. 2.3.4 on SuSE 9.3. Multiple empty Todos are created in palm todos list when sync with evolution is performed. Marking bug as CONFIRMED
I can confirm this bug. System: Ubuntu Hoary Evolution: 2.2.1.1-0ubuntu4 Gnome Pilot: 2.0.12-1.1ubuntu4 PDA: Handspring Visor Standard Haven't found any workarounds so far.
Fixed in the new Ubuntu version. Maybe others can confirm this? System: Ubuntu Breezy Evolution: 2.4.1-0ubuntu7 Gnome Pilot: 2.0.13-0ubuntu10 PDA: Handspring Visor Standard
This is an evolution conduit bug, I guess. Could someone check if we can close this one. I haven't been following evolution bugzilla, so if anyone recognises this as a resolved bug, please update.
Still fixed for me. System: Ubuntu Dapper Evolution: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7 Gnome Pilot: 2.0.13-0ubuntu16 PDA: Handspring Visor Standard But yeah, I guess other people should confirm this as well. :)
Marking this one as closed.
