I'm glad that this guide has helped so many getting Ubuntu 8.10 to play nice with Windows Mobile on a Touch Pro.
Since creating this guide I have now moved on to a
Touch Pro 2, and upgraded to
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. For anyone that has done the same, this guide will indeed work for newer editions of Ubuntu. With one small change. Just follow the steps above, and install all the packages. However, you will notice that the package called
synce-gvfs is no longer offered through the synaptic package manager.
There is a fix for this. We need to manual add software sources for the location of the newest synce-gvfs.
Step 1: Add new software sources
Go to System, Administration>Software Sources. Enter your password.
Click on the Other Software tab. Click on add....
At the command APT line enter:
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu karmic main
Click "+add source"
Click add again. At the command APT line enter:
Code:
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu karmic main
Click "+add source" again
Click on "close"
Click on "reload"
You have now updated your Software sources to include the newest synce-gvfs for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Step 2: Update Public Keys, Update Packages, Install synce-gvfs
Open a terminal by going to Applications>Accessories>Terminal
Once the terminal is open type this command
Code:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv B152F042D246C25D
then hit enter.
then type this command
Code:
gpg --export --armor B152F042D246C25D | sudo apt-key add -
then hit enter.
Now type
Code:
sudo apt-get update
then hit enter
Now type
Code:
sudo apt-get install synce-gvfs
then hit enter.
Step 3: Reboot!
- Enjoy!
