ANN: ZMacSync-1.5b1 available

[ArchiMark]

Hi,
 
 Just installed ZMacSync v1.5b4 on my PowerMac G4 running OSX10.2.8.  
 
 Want to sync with my new SL-3000...  
 
 Have previous used the AJZaurusUSB Driver successfully with previous C860 and my new SL-3000.
 
 So now I installed ZMacSync new beta. However, when I double-click on ZMacSync icon on my Mac, it opens window for a few seconds then disappears.  
 
 Then I get the error message 'ZMacSync has unexpectedly quit'.
 
 Any suggestions??
 
 Thanks,

Then I get the error message 'ZMacSync has unexpectedly quit'.

We just found a bug that might crash ZMacSync right after loading. It appears to be the code that should check if the correct dtm2xml is installed. If it is, everything should go fine. If not it crashes ZMacSync instead of printing a warning message.

To check if you have installed the latest dtm2xml:

In a Zaurus console (can go from the Mac through ssh) type:

$ dtm2xml -a | head -20

If it has a line <DTM VERSION="1.5"> then it is ok. If not, please check that you install the latest dtm2xml from the ZMacSync-1.5b4 package.

Hope this helps,

It just finishes loading without making the icon blue showing that it loaded...

Hm,
could you please try the following:

1. uninstall
2. go to a Zaurus console (e.g. ssh root@192.168.129.201 from a Mac terminal)
3. cd <directory where the zmacsync.ipk resides>
4. ipkg install zmacsync_1.5b5_arm.ipk
5. submit any strange messages

Alternatively you could do that for the openssh and the dtm2xml packages.

Many thanks,
hns

Please upgrade to MacOS X 10.3 (or later). ZMacSync is not compatible with 10.2.

Ok your mac, unpack and open ZMacSync-1.5b4.tgz

There is a Tools folder where the .ipk files are stored.

"ipkg install" is the command to install.

Hope this helps,

OK, upgraded to OSX 10.3.5 last night, then v10.3.6 with SoftwareUpdate...

Reinstalled the USB driver first...then pinged SL3000 and then checked that I could mount the SL3000 on my desktop as before....all OK.

Then opened up ZMacSync v.1.5b4, now opens up OK.

However, when I went to File>Fetch on Mac, I get message:

"Data from Zaurus-1 not available."


I did install 'ZMacSync' and 'dtm2xml' on my Z......

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Anxiously awaiting syncing Z with Mac

I was having the same trouble. I was being prompted to SSH manually, which was pretty easy once I got over my terminal fears.

Have you done the manual SSH and still encountered problems?

Eji,

I got the problem taken care of a while back...sync works OK....

So don't remember the solution right now....  

Will try to check my notes later (at work now) and report back what the solution was....
