Lightning - add or edit fails after first sync

Post by Waysider »

Hi,

Please excuse newbie on forum. I did try a search and didn't find anything similar.

My problem is that after the first sync (device connected, or removed and reconnected) I find I'm unable to edit and save, or create a new appointment in the Calendar, until I close the Thunderbird/Lightning combo and restart it.

This occurs after every "first" sync.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (200071031)
Lightning 0.7-tb-win.xpi
BirdieSync 1.6.0.4
Vista Home Premium
PDA is running Windows Mobile 2003

Anybody else seen this?

Hello,

Are you running BirdieSync 1.6.0.4 or 1.6.4.0 ?
Thanks.

Hello,

Before connecting your mobile device, could you open the error console (menu Tools/Error console) and enlarge it ? Then connect your mobile device and wait for the end of the synchronization.
Could you tell me if you see both the alerts "start" and "end of synchronization" ?
Could you send me the logs as described in this thread ?
Could you also take a snapshot of the error console and send it to me. ("Alt-Print screen" to copy the window after having selected it. You must then paste it in your mail, or in a Word, Paint or GIMP document for instance).
Thanks.

Hi Birdy,

There is nothing of interest in the error console. Only line states:-

BirdieSync: Initialization completed !

I seem to notice the problem more when I'm on first connect. After the system boots up, I connect the PDA. Birdiesync kicks off and starts up Thunderbird/Lightning if it's not already running. This was when I was seeing the problem of not then being able to edit and save a calendar entry. I'm not currently able to reproduce the problem.

I normally sync with two systems. My personal one runs mail and calendar as advised. My work system runs Lotus Notes 7 - I'm now wondering if it's perhaps entries from there that I cannot edit/save in the calendar until I stop/start Thunderbird/Lightning.

If I capture error data I'll send it to you. For now thanks for your time.

Rgds.

Hi Birdy,

I've emailed you console log and other files as per the other thread.

As described in the email problem flow is:-

1. Connect PDA
2. Sync starts
3. Thunderbird & Lightning are started by the sync
4. No edit of calendar possible after sync completes, restart of calendar required.

Pop up is seen stating start/end of sync.
