[Opensync-users] synchronisation takes too long?

[Frisco <ope...@bi...>]

Hi,

sorry for possible cross-posting, but I don't know whether the problem
is with gnokii or with opensync  :(

I try to sync my Nokia 5140i, contacts and calendar.

Connection works fine with the gnokii plugin (and gnokii on the command
line).

I can easily sync my contacts and calendar from the phone to kontact
(kadressbook/korganizer), but I don't manage to write my contacts to the
phone.

I deleted all contacts on the phone (internal memory), with a sync-pair
gnokii-sync <-> kdepim-sync I got 2 entries written to the phone after
approximatly 3 hours.

Something seems to be working, as I can see in multisync0.90 that the
buttons remain grey after starting the sync.

multisync0.90 says furthermore:

gnokii-sync: Sent all changes
kdepim-sync: Sent all changes.

184 entries received.
All conflicts have been reported.
(Buttons still grey).

The process-lists shows three active tasks:

frisco    6102  3.0  0.6 208892 27016 ?        Sl   16:14   1:29  \_

/usr/lib/opensync/osplugin /home/frisco/.opensync-0.22/group7 2

I can watch them working in top too.

There seem to be opensync 0.22 and 0.38 installed (under Debian
testing), could that cause conflicts?

I noticed that multisync0.90 writes to .opensync-0.22/ (see process list
above), if I try to use msynctool, it tries to use .opensync/, but
complains about no available plugins, thus I use multisync0.90.

I read a lot docs about gnokii and opensync/multisync, but couldn't
solve the problem on my own - it would be great if anyone could give me
a hint, any help is very appreciated!

Cheers,
Andre
