Re: [Opensync-users] Is opensync with irmc-sync meanwhile able to handle german umlauts?

[Achim S. <Ach...@mn...>]

Hello Christopher,

hmmh - I was not able to verify the correct function so far, as my K750i is 
still crashing during sync (screen goes blank black,white ... and comes back 
after some seconds).

The output of the sync around the crash:
Sent a entry 000000000231 of size 399 to member 2. Changetype ADDED
Error writing entry 36651AE5BEB28DD2C1256FB700577E8B-Lotus_Notes_Generated to 
member 2: Timeout while waiting for a reply to message "COMMIT_CHANGE"

(all following entries are then also reporting the timeout)

How did I get this:
1) I started a fresh sync, where the standard reousrces for Kalendar and 
   contact pointed to fresh generated files (i.e. empty).
  --> calendar from mobile phone has been transfered fine

2) removed an obsolete calendar entry

3) restarted the sync
 --> several conflicts were detected - even if there was no real reason
     ( nearly all calendar entries --> the history of my konsole is no long
       enough; and I won't retry, as I had already a total permanent crash
       with my mobile during the last tries )
    ==> some of the control XML-tags like data source, ... were probably
        causing the conflict ( so the user visible parts were identic, but
        several other information was different in all reported calendar
        conflicts )
  --> after all "conflicts" were resolved by taking the entry from phone
      ( the entry, where the special XML-Tags indicated the phone as source ),
      the changes were being commited
      ---> during THIS flow, the mobile resetted itself

So maybe the syncing is disturbed by a calendar entry which is stemming from 
Lotus-Notes ( it was created on Lotus-Notes, sent by email to my 
email-account, and had been accepted/stored by kontact into KDE calendar ). 
Thus it might have contained some strange special XML tags, which are not 
handled by the mobile in the right way.

I hope that my description can help someway.

My configuration:
+ Kubuntu Dapper
+ opensync packages from the REPO at http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/
  ( today installed --> 0.18+svn20060605-1.2 )
+ Mobile: SonyEricsson K750i
+ newest KDE 3.5.3 from the Dapper update sources

My suggestion for solution:
Do not communicate the special XML-Tags which are not neccessary for real data 
and sync marks. KDE won't understand all K750i entries and vice versa.

Bye,
Achim
