You might be able to convert the RPM to DEB, but I haven't done that
kind of thing in a long time, and getting the dependencies resolved
might be a real headache.

It's worth a shot though if you have the time and really need it.

Re: [Barry-devel] Barry Desktop - Mint 18 - Ubuntu 16.04 64bit

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Hi,

Unfortunately there are no plans to update the binary packaging available
on Sourceforge at this time.  The packages that are there are pretty
old, and are only there for historical reasons.

Also, Barry has been removed from Debian unstable due to lack of
upstream and Debian maintenance (I was the main guy for both and just didn't
have the time).  So this means that future Ubuntu and Mint distros
are unlikely to have Barry either, even without opensync support.

[Barry-devel] Barry Desktop - Mint 18 - Ubuntu 16.04 64bit

[<sa...@xs...>]

Hello:

I was wondering if there will be an update to Barry Desktop so as to 
be able to use it with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / Mint 18 64 bit.

I have recently migrated fro Mint 17 and I see it is not in the usual 
repositories.

Thanks in advance,

CIV

Yes, but I believe 0.4x opensync is more rubust in handling syncing and
errors.  Version 0.22 can get more easily confused.  That said, they can
both get confused, which is why you want to script your setup, so you
can restart easily.

Set your environment variable EDITOR to the editor of your choice, and
osynctool should use that instead.

The backup only backs up the databases.  Your java programs are not
backed up with it.  Your PIN is baked into your device and doesn't
need to be backed up.  Not sure where the messenger number is stored.

You can try, but the Barry that comes with Ubuntu does not have any
opensync support built in.  You would still need to install the Barry
packages from sourceforge.  I haven't tried this, and you might run
into dependency problems.

Thanks for that tip. I was going to test today with locking my BBerry 
and see all still works.

so will try
btool -t -P pwd
&
Barry desktop.

breset == BlackBerry reset?
I also found another one
bidentify

Are there any more.

I am keeping copies as I go through the testing process

I restored an older backup, checked the BBerry and yes the changes that 
I had made to memo database, I had made using browse databases, had been 
removed.

Then restored the latest version and the changes were back in place so 
it seems that backup and restore are working correctly.

I was going to ask that question especially since the web searches seem

Another command that I did not know about, are there any more?

Yes I was thinking using aliases and scripts.

Also I find that  osynctool --configure is a pain as I believe that it 
uses vim as the editor. I found the locations of the .conf files and use 
nano. I use aliases all the time to backup a file before editing a file.
E.g. for fstab
Aliases look like
alias fstab_cp='sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_20150904_09:42'
alias fstab_ed='sudo nano /etc/fstab'
generate from a part of script file
alias fstab_cp="sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H:%M)"
alias fstab_ed="sudo nano /etc/fstab"


A new question, or questions
Does barrybackup backup all of your BlackBerry ID information i.e. PIN 
messenger number etc.?
Since I have managed to get Barrydesktop to work on 12.04 is it a valid 
experiment to try on 14.04. Ubuntu say that it is supported and use the 
files including opensync that I downloaded from your web site.

As I may mentioned in one of my long updates, I could not browse the 
databases until I removed the lock on my Blackberry

Now I have got the access to the Blackberry from barrydesktop , I would 
have to agree. Although until I got to a certain point where I knew that 
I had comms to the BBerry. Then found out about the lock.

If you forget to include your password, the device can be left in
a state that Barry can't recover from.  Try unplugging your device, and
trying again *with* the password.  Sometimes the breset command will
suffice to get it working again.

In the backup program, you can restore individual databases.  The process
of restoring will erase the database, and then add all records back.
So limiting to only the database you want to test with, is a good start.

Opensync is indeed a different beast, and I'd say it is more tricky to
get working than Barry itself.  But with fresh backups, experimenting
can be fun, and syncing is the payoff at the end. :-)

I'd recommend sticking with opensync 0.4x, especially since you have it
installed.

Note that it is possible to backup and restore from the command line,
using the bio tool, as well as running opensync from the command line,
using osynctool.  During testing, you might want to script things,
so you can setup your sync plugins, configs, etc, and do it repeatedly
from scratch if you need to, and save some typing.

To make sure that the software is talking successfully with the device,
you can use barrydesktop and browse the databases.  You should see your
calendar and address book entries that way, even edit them if you like.

If that works, then it's just the opensync setup that's the problem.

Make sure you're using the latest evolution plugin.  There are evolution
plugins for versions 2 and 3 available.  Make sure you use 3.

Try syncing just address book at first.  Perhaps post some of the logs
to see what it's doing.  Are you using the osynctool to sync from the
command line, or barrydesktop?

Re: [Barry-devel] 8. Installation problems further update

[Jim R. <jd...@gm...>]

Hi All,

A follow up with more tests that I mentioned last night. I decided to 
try other tests  as well.
Error message when trying to sync to evolution:-

Starting sync for: 2a11554d (Touch)
Discover(): NEXT ERROR: "This engine was not in state initialized: 0"
ROOT CAUSE: "Failed to open default calendar: Cannot open calendar: 
Calendar does not exist"
Sync finished: 2a11554d (Touch)
No more devices to sync.

So giving up on Evolution for now.

Browse Databases, requested password and after several attempts, seemed 
to show but no information. Also tried unlocking the Blackberry itself. 
That seemed to make things better  only one password was required.

Backup and Restore  Did not work gave an error during config 
"Controller: requested mode not supported"

Back to btool tests

Ah-ha an error message

  Found the message in the mail list where it was suggested a problem 
with the password.

so tried
btool -t -P pwd

no change so used the suggestion mentioned i.e. remove the password on 
the BlackBerry itself.

Big Change

gave the expected output.

Back to Barry desktop.
now browse database works, I was able to see my databases.
Backup and Restore worked
I was able to do a Backup not tried a restore as yet!!
Using Browse Databases I was able to delete a memo and add another one. 
Made another Backup so I now should able to see the changes that I made.

So it seems that the password logic does not seem to be working. Are 
there any other tests that you can suggest.

Also Google has been a good friend. Thanks for the information on the 
netdirect.ca site. Just that, one has to read the information, very 
carefully.

I will update these comments when I have proved restore works.

Then back to trying to use the link to Evolution. Perhaps I will need to 
learn a lot more on how to use it.

Best Wishes
Jim

Just a short update but I have managed to get all of opensync0.4 installed

I reread your notes and saw the names about the binary packages, so I 
used the following command

root@escau-desktop:/home/escau# apt-get install binarymeta4x
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:

Big list

but gave a missing file

root@escau-desktop:/home/escau#

Located the missing file and downloaded again from the Sourceforge site.

Reran root@escau-desktop:/home/escau# apt-get install binarymeta4x

Worked

Sync now attempts to work when linking to Evolution.
Firstly gave an error about the contact list (default) not present.
Created an addressbook with one entry, so now, it does not give the 
first error but gives a calendar error.


Although it does not copy anything from the Blackberry to the Evolution 
addressbook .

Changed the config to select only contacts, no change.

I have some tests using
btool -l
&
btool -t as root which I will post tomorrow.

Are there any other tests that you can suggest.

Best Wishes
Jim

Hi Jim,

First question is... how badly do you need sync support?  If you just
want to make backups and restore, you don't need it, and it is far easier to
install the packages from the official Ubuntu repos than from the
old packages that the Barry Sourceforge site supports.

If you *really* need opensync though, it's not an easy road ahead,
and at this point, I'd probably recommend you build from source.
I haven't done this myself in a long time, so I'll wait for your
response before giving some pointers. :-)

[Barry-devel] Installation problems

[Jim R. <jd...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am a new user and I wish that I had found this software earlier. When 
using the Blackberry software, one needs to set-up outlook express which 
a tad difficult on a Xubuntu system i.e. need a windows system.

I realise that the sources have not been updated for 2 years and that 
the mailing list is little used, but here's hoping. Also my apologies 
for the long email but I thought that it is best to give all the 
information at the beginning.

Systems are  Xubuntu 12.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 i.e. LTS versions
Blackberry Touch

I attempted to install using the Xubuntu 14.04 first, installation 
using synaptic. The installation seemed OK.

But tried to run Barry Desktop Panel, an error message appears:-
No OpenSync libraries were found. Sync will be unavailable until you 
install OpenSync version 0.22 or version 0.4x on your system, along with 
the needed plugins.

Searched and found the home page. Read the notes on installation on 
Ubuntu, but then found you seem to be only supported up to 12.04 (see 
another note later). I found that Ubuntu say that Barry is supported in 
Trusty i.e. 14.04??

Tried to install on another PC running 12.04 by updating the 
repositories file to include
  deb http://download.barry.netdirect.ca/barry-latest/ubuntu1204

After updated was informed by the update manager that there were new 
packages for installation. Great !!

Downloaded but could not download all. There was an error message about 
the header being too long.

Read your notes more carefully and downloaded manually all of the files

So followed the information in the workaround noting that you stated all

Work on Barry has slowed to almost nothing, so there probably won't
be any new plugins in the near future, unfortunately.

Probably the easiest method is to export the Calendar database to MIME
format from the command line:

	bio -i device -d Calendar -o mime

That takes the device as input, select the Calendar database, and uses
MIME as output.

If you have a password set, add the -P option after the '-i device'
option.

	bio -i device -P MyPassword -d Calendar -o mime

Hi, I've succesfully installed the latest Barry version with desktop interface on my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. 
Waiting for a Thunderbird/lightning plugin, which will be very appreciated, is there in meantime the possibility to export in .ical format the whole calendar and tasks archives of my blackberry, in order to import them in Thunderbird, instead of single records of them? Multi-selection of records seems not working. 
Thank you.

Hi John,

What system are you compiling this on?

I just tested on Debian 7.6 and the ./buildgen.sh worked fine.

Make sure you have all the dependencies installed.  You can find scripts
which may help with that under maintainer/depscripts/.

Hi Jeremy,

Sadly, I must stop you here, since Barry does not support devices
of the new Z10 line, including the Q10.

For the Z10/Q10 devices, you may wish to look into OwnCloud and setup
your own private cloud, which, as I understand it, these devices support.

See Nicolas Vivien's message on this here:

> OpenSync libraries are missing and that sync will be disabled until it,

There is no maintainer for Debian OpenSync packages, so syncing is
disabled in the official Debian Barry packages, and this is the same
situation for Ubuntu.

The netdirect versions of the packages which do have opensync enabled
(available at sourceforge.net) have not yet been updated to 14.04.
There are no plans to do so yet.

[Barry-devel] Barry on Ubuntu 14.04

[Jeremy G. <ara...@gm...>]

Hello,

I installed Barry Desktop through the Ubuntu Software Centre but when I try
to connect my BlackBerry Q10 it gives me an error message saying the
OpenSync libraries are missing and that sync will be disabled until it,
along with other missing plugins, is installed. I went to netdirect.ca but
found that the installation instructions only provide code up to Ubuntu
12.04 (ie http://download.barry.netdirect.ca/barry-latest/squeeze main -- I
can't replace 'squeeze' with 'ubuntu1404').

Has the Barry software been updated for 14.04 yet (I know its still new)?
Would it still work if stuck with ubuntu1204?

Thanks for your help
Jeremy

Hi Chris,
seems that it helped to wipe the handheld some times.
Now reading of data seems to work.
I have to find now another working opensync-plugin to transfer the data

Thanks so far.

Thanks for your answer Chris,
im sorry but i cant remove the password because i bought my

Because its OSv4.2 and there is no update available I cant remove
the poliy.
Is there a way to hand the password over to the plugin?

Thanks for the output.  All I can suspect is that perhaps it is a
threading issue, or maybe you have a password set on the device
and the plugin is not handling it correctly.

If there is a password, try turning it off in the device, just as a test.

Dear all,

Thanks for the great project. Backup works but I got problems with

Got a Blackberry 8707v and barry 0.18.4.

The output of the unsuccessfull synchronization try is attached.

Re: [Barry-devel] q5 sync dilemma

[Nicolas <pr...@fr...>]

Hi,

Indeed, Barry doesn't support the new BlackBerry 10 generation.
As far as, I don't think that add the support is a good thing :) since
BlackBerry 10 brings a lot of stuff work well with Linux. Just change
your way of work... don't worry it's better.

A first, backup / sync is too old way. Now all is in the cloud with
auto-sync process :)

I have installed OwnCloud on my Linux desktop (server) to host :
- CardDAV service (addressbook in the cloud)
- CalDAV service (calendar in the cloud)
- WebDAV service (file storage in the cloud)
In fact, it's my cloud (so don't need to use Google Drive, Box or
other...)

With CalDAV & CardDAV, the sync process is very easy and automatic.
Moreover Evolution works and supports CalDAV & CardDAV.

For WebDAV... the support isn't native. That's why I have written
PlayCloud 10 "built for BlackBerry 10". By the way, it supports WebDAV,
FTP, Box, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, SkyDrive, SugarSync...

Now, I don't need to be at office or at home to backup manually my
device. It's always sync and the BlackBerry 10 is a great device working
in standalone !

BlackBerry 10 as PlayBook has a samba server... So you can access to
your files easily.

At last, I haven't yet spoken about application installation :) It's
very easy and supported in natif with the BlackBerry tool. Just install
any SDK for developpers and use the "blackberry-deploy" tool to install
BAR files on your device.

Regards,

Nicolas

[Barry-devel] q5 sync dilemma

[Christopher W. <chr...@go...>]

hi Barry folks,

new member here.

i've been failing for the last week to get my BB Q5 to talk to my ThinkPad  
X200 (running LMDE) through Barry. Chris Frey just informed me that Barry  
does not support new BB devices, and that i might poke around this list  
for some tips.

i would love to be able to backup the device, install software not listed  
on BBWorld (i.e. Opera Mini), and sync it.
what are my options?

Chris mentioned that Nicolas Vivien might have an idea since he's more  
experienced with newer devices.

thanks much!
