Care to share some more context? What command are you using in the x-term? Where is located the archive you want to uncompress?

At any rate, erminig-ng cannot be installed in MyDocs (or any subdirectory of it), since it relies on the executability of a library that cannot be there....For the moment the best location is directly in /home/user, at least until I manage to properly package it in a .deb.

Great news !!

Perhaps ideas for future would be if you could add on:

google contacts, docs bi-directional sync

You would have a powerful took !!

Google Contacts would be great. I've been struggling for a while now, trying to sync both directly from N900 (Syncevolution) or via Outlook, Plaxo, Soocial and a couple of other services. None of them work.

Lorerei: Did you notice this?

/P

All right, it was in Mydocs, so where should I place the zipped file? and How can I unzip it? Using gunzip?

Thanx a lot

Yup, I'm still thinking about the problem and how to debug it. I will come back to you in the next few days with some code modification to pinpoint the problem.

In the meantime, just a question: is that event from a shared calendar?

Also, to determine which calendar Erminig is talking about:

- go to Google Calendar
- settings
- Calendars
- select one of the calendar
- near the bottom (under the heading "Calendar Address") there's the ID of the calendar.

Does the calendar where Erminig is crashing has something special?

thanks

- File should be placed in /home/user
- to decompress the archive:

in the terminal.

Thanx lorelei, the thing is, I am a PC user, which folder does it correspond in the file manager? There is no user folder...I know I may sound stupid...

Thanx again

I don't know. It's none of the calendars I got configured at Google (I went through them all).

/P

OK, I get it. I was able to reproduce the problem with my own calendars. I managed to get the same error message (in german ??).

I think that you are trying to synchronize a calendar that doesn't exist anymore on Google (did you delete one or several of them?).

To repair the problem from the command line, we must unbind the local calendar with the non-existing Google one:

Here I took the calendar ID you posted before...

Once that entry is removed, you should be able to continue the synchronization. If another similar error comes up, please remove also that entry from the Erminig database.

FYI: As we thought, preserving the read-only status is trivial.

On the calendar-backend side (calaccess.cc), we need to set the read-only flag when we create the local calendar (third parameter to mc->addCalendar, currently hard coded to false). Obviously cwrapper.py needs to be updated accordingly.

Before we create the calendar in erminig-ng, we just read 'cal.access_level.value'. Simple approach would be if it is set to "read", then create the local calendar read-only. A more complete approach would be to consider all possible values which might indicate that we don't have any access to the calendar (then why is it in the feed?) or that we only have access to free/busy information from the calendar.

I did this in a quick hack and it does work, setting the "US Holidays" shared calendar from google as read-only locally. If I try to add a new event on the n900, it doesn't present the "US Holidays" calendar as an option.

I'm assuming the code is somewhat in flux as lorelei is flushing out the initial features and GUI. If you want me to throw together a patch now, let me know. Otherwise I'll wait until core features are flushed out, including a GUI.
