t has been requested quite a few times around the forum, i know i wish i could have found one a while ago, so here we go, the wonderful world of Synce...
*NOTE/DISCLAIMER:*
Synce is NOT my project, i do NOT promise it will work, and should your machine explode, i take no responsibility (ok, fine, i take the responsibility to laugh
be careful with synce, it can erase your entire PocketPC.... i would suggest using the builtin backup tool and saving the backup somewhere safe!

Synce site
Storm of UbuntuForums (i used his howto for some of the linking stuff...)
alright onward and upward....
first we need to find out where your pocketpc is in dev...thanks again to storm for this part...
with your device unpluged type
Code:
ls /dev > /tmp/before
Code:
ls /dev > /tmp/after
diff /tmp/before /tmp/after
ttyUSB0 (just remember wat this is!)
then, you need a bunch of packages that are in the repository...
you can use synaptic, but im gonna write for apt-get
Code:
sudo apt-get install synce-dccm
sudo apt-get install synce-kde
sudo apt-get install synce-serial
you need all the librarys that come with them...
also, this is an optional step if you wanna try and synce your PIM data with evolution (i have yet to be able to do this...partially from lack of trying tho...)
Code:
sudo apt-get install multisync
sudo apt-get install synce-multisync-plugin
while installing synce-serial a config window will pop-up, check the options, default usually works fine...put in wat we found out earlier here (ttyUSB0 for me)
next you need to download and install these debs...
Code:
wget http://kuci.org/~teddy/ubuntu/synce-gnomevfs_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
wget http://kuci.org/~teddy/ubuntu/synce-software-manager_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
wget http://kuci.org/~teddy/ubuntu/synce-trayicon_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
Code:
sudo dpkg -i synce-gnomevfs_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i synce-software-manager_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i synce-trayicon_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtop-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib/libgtop-2.0.so.2
Code:
synce-trayicon
dccm
sudo synce-serial-config ttyUSB0 (REMEMBER TO PUT IN WAT YOU NEED HERE)
sudo synce-serial-start
tada! all done!
(you can now remove the debs u got from wget...)
questions, comments, patches, etc etc etc.... lemme know!
