[lug] PalmPilot StarOffice Schedler Problem

[Bob Collins]

I have been able to sync StarOffice Scheduler to my Palmpilot for about
a year. 

Several weeks ago, I accidentally shut my laptop off with out logging
out.  Fsck ran when I booted up and fixed some problems.  I got an error
from a kde configuration file which I deleted and things seem to be OK. 
This is the only thing I can think of that may have caused my problem,
but you know how that goes.

I tried to sync my PalmPilot today.  It timed out.  I went into
Schedule; Tools; PalmPilot Hotsync Configuration and saw "Place port in
synchronization readiness" not checked.  I check it and clicked OK. 
This gave me the StarOffice 5.2 error "StarOffice Sync could not find
the interface given.  Please check the settings."  Port = /dev/pilot &
Baud = 9600.

I ran the Setup program to Repair StarOffice and I reinstalled PalmPilot
integration.

I am hoping this is a problem someone has solved.  I am at a loss as to
how to fix the problem.  I would appreciate any ideas anyone has.

I can dial out with serial port, external modem.  I can sync my
palmpilot to Windows on the same machine.

        I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves
        me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
        As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and
        an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money
        power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign...
        until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Repub-
        lic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the
        safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of
        war.
