Notices

lorelei: Thanks for looking into it. The problem occurs with only 2 out of 5 calendars. They have irregular repeat events (e.g. a single modified event in a weekly repeat). The events are synced (2-way) into GoogleCal using webcal syncing from my iCal calendars; then onto my tablet via erminig. Timezone support in iCal is turned off.

I've also noticed that the sync is starting to hang (always at the "Processing Google Events" stage). Other than the weird "recurring events being placed in the wrong week" bug that I reported earlier (which I ended up handling by rebuilding my appointments by scratch), I've hadn't had any other problems with erminig until now.

By the way, thanks to Lorelei for keeping this useful app updated!

Vectorchem: it is possible that the problem you have is related to irregular repeated events.
Can you send me (lorelei@garage.maemo.org) an ICS export of one of those problematic entries? (I think that you can do that from Google Calendar)

dmadd: to clean absolutely everything of Erminig, you also have to delete the /home/user/.erminig.cfg file (from the terminal). This file contains the date of the last sync and the profile informations for Erminig. If you are sure that you won't need the calendar data stored in GPE, you can also delete the /home/user/.gpe/calendar file (WARNING: that file contains your local GPE calendar: delete it only if you are sure that you don't need that data anymore!)

klinglerware: could you please point me to the report of the wrong week assigned to recurring event? I'm unable to find it

Thanks

I’m also getting the following problem:

on_UpdateAll : Profile to update : Luciano

reinstalled, deleted config files, removed recurring events, and nothing.. can you please help?

and thanks for this great app, it worked very well until I got this error

hmmm, OK, it looks more and more like a problem with recurring events with exception (which is known of being quite broken). I'm actively working on it to find a solution, which may also solve your problem (jabaloo)...

lorelei:
I reported the problem in this thread (posts #17, #18, & #20, I think)

Like I mentioned, I decided to just rebuild my calendar from scratch and had no problems with it since...


Edit to add: As for the problem with erminig hanging, it does seem to import events from google to GPE okay. I don't usually add events in GPE, so I'm not sure if things are okay going the other way...

I have a similar problem with erminig. I am going from Outlook to Google calendar to my N810. I recently downloaded the OS update. Erminig goes through the downloading the google calendar but it stays at "processing events" and never completes. I do have many repeating events and I wonder if that is a potential problem? I never get any error messages. Last night I left it overnight and it was in the same status and never progressed. I love the GPE calendar but I really need to be able to sync. Any ideas ?

me too, many repeating events, hangs on "processing events". Is there a way I could quickly test to see if I have repeating events with exceptions? If I have a novel bug, or useful debug information to contribute, I'd like to do that pointers on how to be of more use would be appreciated.

Best regards.

to all: repeating events are known to be buggy, especially those with exceptions. I'm working on it (whenever I get the time ): next release should fix (or at least not hang) these problems.

I'm aiming at a bug fix for next weekend (around 22. of September)

Thank you for your hard work and assistance with this. I will keep watch for an update and I look forward to a successful sync.
