Package: kpilot Version: 4:3.2.2-2 Severity: normal I started to use palm Zire (which has been used with Macintosh iSync) in combination with kpilot.
Before stating the trouble I experienced, it would be better to explain character coding confusion in Japanese. In linux, euc-jp has been standard for Japanese character code. Unfortunately, however, the other OS, such as Windows and Macintosh have used shift-jis as standard until recent. Palm also uses shift-jis as Japanese character code. In kpilot, you can specify the characotr code used in Palm. Therefore, I specified shift-jis and tried Hotsync. For the first Hotsync, it was fine. The addressbook entries (shift-jis) in Palm were converted to euc-jp and transferred tokaddressbook. Nothing was wrong both in kaddressbook and Palm addressbook. However, after the second Hotsync (and thereafter) addressbook entries in the Palm were not correctly displayed. I guess that kaddressbook entries were transferred WITHOUT charactor code conversion. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=ja_JP.eucJP, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP Versions of packages kpilot depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.29 Debian configuration management sy ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.3-2 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-5 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.4-3 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkcal2 4:3.2.2-2 KDE calendaring library ii libmal1 0.40-3 A library of the functions in mals ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpisock8 0.11.8-10 Library for communicating with a P ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-6 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-4 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libreadline4 4.3-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-3 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * shared/pilot/port: ttyUSB1
