Btw - i try to get "Korganizer" (handheld version) installed, without having to install KDE.
The source is available on KDE.
Ipkg is available on openPMA as well as on KDE. Most interesting: openPMA's 2 year old release has version Nr. 2.x whereas KDE's version number (KO/Pi) has 1.5...
Just to set the record straight the PimPI project is a fork of the KDE PIM apps. The folks from the KDE project had nothing to do with it. A guy just took the KDE code and forked it to run on his Zaurus and some other platforms. The last release from a few years back was 2.7.7. It is a dead project.

Oi!

I installed scratchbox - via the provided deb files (link mentioned in the "install.txt"), as the installscript didn't work.
The deb's installed just fine.

Problem:
When I try to start scratchbox
Code:
scratchbox
I get:
Code:
bash: /usr/bin/scratchbox: Permission denied
So i tried with sudo - wich brought:
Code:
Host kernel has port range under 10000... You can fix e.g. by running... echo "1024 65000" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
I edited /etc/rc.local
and inserted the echo line suggested right before "exit0", saved the document & tried to start scratchbox again:
Code:
ERROR: Not allowed to run this as root!
I tried
Code:
man scratchbox
=> No manuals available....

Maybe one can take my hand and show me what to try next?

I tried this on a system with Ubuntu feisty installed.

Did you add your user account to the sbox group?

You can also use the vmware image too.

Please, if you're going to "set the record straight", get it correct.

The kdepimpi project as hosted on sourceforge does seem to be dead--though the Linux (x86) and Windows binaries there work just fine.

However, with a good deal of help, I've built kdepimpi for the Nokia tablet. Kopi (the calendar/to-do list) is functional right now, though it has some rough edges. I'm using it daily and sync'ing with my Linux desktop.

The executable and source code are available now on the Maemo Garage site: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/kdepimpi/

The project really could use the assistance of some more experienced developers to clean up some cosmetic issues on the Maemo platform.
I think that KDEPIMPI has the potential to be hugely successful package for the Nokia tablet--it's already stable on other platforms, has many features, synchronizes with many other PIM suites...it just needs some work to adjust fonts/menu sizing/icons/popup window sizes/etc. for the Nokia environment.
