Multisync, GPE & nsqld/gpesyncd
 

Hi,

I cannot make multisync work with the GPE pim suite on my Nokia 770.

I first tried multisync 0.82 with the multisync-gpe plugin on my linux box, but it needs the nsqld daemon and I cannot find a port of it to the Nokia 770.

I then upgraded to multisync 0.90 + opensync with libopensync-plugin-gpe. It needs gpesyncd on the Nokia 770 which I found on <http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/maemo/gpesyncd>. Unfortunately it needs libmimedir-0.2.so.0 which is missing.

Any hints?

There's a 0.2 branch of libmimedir here:

HTH,

Andrew

i had the same problems

here is what i did (i write this from my mind - so i hope its correct ;-):

- become root
- add to the file "/etc/ld.so.conf" the line "/var/lib/install/usr/lib/" and save the file. so the system looks for the libs also in this path.

i think thats it....

i tried the same as you with gpesyncd, but i hadn't much success :-(
at first, all worked fine - i could sync my todo list, my calendar and my addressbook, but only one time. the other syncs failed...

i read, that the developers are still working on it... (thank you to the people who do this work...)

but if you have more luck - please tell me.

so good luck

Thanks for the replies.

acidburn - it is not a path problem since I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib. There is a version mismatch since library present on my Nokia 770 is libmimedir-0.3.so.0. The best solution would probably be a recompile of gpesyncd with the newer version.

Andrew - thanks for the link, I'll give it a try with libmimedir0_0.2.1cvs200501114-1 and report back later.

OK, it's not working but I have learnt a few things in the process.

It's not sufficient to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, one has to add the path in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.

Installing libmimedir0_0.2.1cvs200501114-1 did not work since then gpesyncd sais that it needs libmimedir-0.3.so.0!

I missed that in the instructions at http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToSyncGPE770withLinux a link is created from libmimedir-0.2.so.0 to libmimedir-0.3.so.0. I tried that and ran gpesyncd in the terminal on the 770 just to test it. It worked fine the first time but subsequent times it gives a segmentation fault.

The same thing happens if I install both versions of libmimedir (by some copying since the installer removes the other version when installing).

I guess I'll have to leave the rest in the hands of the programmers.

have you tried it with the latest version of gpe?

i saw there is a new version on
http://oss.kernelconcepts.de/maemo/app-install.shtml

eg: gpe-calendar_0.67-2

thank you for the link to the sync howto - i haven't seen it. maybe i will try it on weekend.
if i find out more i will post it...

I just tried it with the latest version of gpe, but gpesyncd still segfaults. Probably a new version of gpesyncd is needed. :-(

Hello I bought my Nokia 770 on Monday and was interested in evolution sync.

I compiled gpesyncd for OS 2006 and packaged it in a .deb file.
I have no segfault but still some problems to sync.

Here is the package :
http://hayao.free.fr/gpesyncd_1.5_armel.deb

Can someone test it ?

Thanks a lot!!!

I installed it and synced to file using opensync on my laptop running Ubuntu (I found 0.19-dapper2 packages at http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/opensync/).

Connection now works and some of the events are transferred correctly. But then there are a lot of errors like "invalid character", "vformat began without a BEGIN", "Error flushing string: No space left on device", etc.

But now I can at least start to find out what the problems are! Great!!

Any progress since September?
 

Your last post sounded promising on the sync part. I was wondering whether you have made any progress with syncing the GPE pim suite you would like to share...
