No problem.

Cezary,

The new gpesyncd is now in the GPE SVN (see the announcement earlier today on the gpe-list@linuxtogo.org list). This new version is compatible with the GPE PIM packages avaiable through the Maemo Application Directory. Synchronising using opensync is now working again for me.

Would it be possible for you to build a new package and make it available through your repository?

If anyone finds any problems with this new gpesyncd please log a bug report against gpesyncd in the GPE bugzilla (http://bugs.linuxtogo.org/).

Is anyone using gpe with OS X? Any pointers on how to make GPE work with Addressbook and iCal?

Yes, wait for this packages.

a stupid question:

how does the desktop communicate/sync with the Nokia?

Do you need SSH/root access? Or can you do some kind of USB syncing?

Not a stupid question at all.

You need some sort of (TCP/IP) network connection between the desktop and the tablet. Normally this is done by having the tablet and the desktop connect to the same WiFi access point, although other topologies are perfectly possible.

Although software exists to run IP over a USB connection that is not a standard configuration (and I do not know of a package for the 770).

Opensync on the desktop will need to be told the IP address of the tablet. You can then either use SSH to connect (which is what I do) or you can run gpesyncd by hand on the tablet and it will listen out for connections. In this latter case, you need to log in to an Xterm window and type: You also need to add the IP address of the desktop to the file ~//.gpe/gpesyncd.allow on the tablet.

Some thought has been given to creating an applet which will do these two steps without the need for an Xterm, but it doesn't exist yet.

I tried to use the directions (http://eko.one.pl/index.php?page=GPECalendarSync) on Ubuntu Edgy, but got errors during sync with Google Calendar:

Anybody tried this?

Regards pem

I don't use Google Calendar. It looks like the error is in that plugin so you may be best to ask about it on the Opensync mailing list -- see https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...opensync-users

Problem with date format? Change locale to en and try again.
