Bug 87842 – app-pda/jpilot-0.99.7-r1 palm-os password entry does not work.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason McGuiness 2005-04-03 14:37:29 UTC]

When I try to access my private records in JPilot, I cannot, unless I remove the password on my Palm PDA itself.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "View/Show-Hide-Mask Private Records".
2. Enter the correct password.
Actual Results:  
A "password incorrect" dialog appears.

Expected Results:  
The private records should have been shown.

can you try the new version of jpilot-0.99.8_pre9?

thanks.

[Comment 2 Jason McGuiness 2005-07-16 04:31:25 UTC]

Unfortunately not. I successfully emerged 0.99.8_pre9 and it has the same bug.

[Comment 3 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-09-17 05:45:12 UTC]

Please test with 0.99.9 and let us know if it works now. Re-open this bug if it doesn't.

I tried trhis version and unfortunately it appears to have the same bug. Very irritating.

I've done some research now and this looks like http://bugs.jpilot.org/1856 (which is actually a bug in pilot-link).

You now have two options:
1. I'm going to attach a patch for pilot-link-0.12.3 (should apply to 0.12.2, too) now. Apply it to pilot-link (add an appropriate epatch to the ebuild) and test jpilot again.
2. Wait till I get around to add the patch to pilot-link-0.12.3 (might take a week or so due to my annual aging ;) immediately followed by Christmas) and test again.

[Comment 6 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-12-19 23:54:20 UTC]

Created attachment 138931 [details]
pilot-link-0.12.3-int_types.patch

The promised patch for pilot-link.

[Comment 7 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-12-20 23:10:32 UTC]

I've just committed the patch which should indeed fix this bug. Please simply re-emerge both pilot-link-0.12.3 and jpilot, test again and let me know about the result.

[Comment 8 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2008-02-29 17:19:52 UTC]

The fix was kindly confirmed to work by Jeff Silver.
