Which version of OpenSync do you use?

This shouldn't happen. If you still can reproduce this please create for mo=
re=20
debugging information OSYNC_TRACE files:

export OSYNC_PRIVACY=3D1;
export OSYNC_TRACE=3D/tmp/osync_trace/;
mkdir $OSYNC_TRACE;
kitchensync;

After the sync/crash there should be trace/debugging files=20
in /tmp/osync_trace/ which you can reply as tarball to this Mailinglist=20
thread. To see why the plugin is crashing.

Also the detailed configuration of booth plugins are helpful:
msynctool --showgroup *groupname*

The kdepim-sync doesn't need to be configured in current version.

msynctool setup:

msynctool --addgroup kdepim2irmc;
msynctool --addmember kdepim2irmc kdepim-sync;
msynctool --addmember kdepim2irmc irmc-sync;
msynctool --configure kdepim2irmc 2;

The kdepim-sync doesn't need to be configured only the irmc-sync plugin=20
(second plugin). The config for the irmc-sync plugin should look like this:

<config>
  <donttellsync>false</donttellsync>
  <connectmedium>bluetooth</connectmedium>
  <btunit>00:16:20:33:33:33</btunit>
  <btchannel>8</btchannel>
</config>

The bluetooth channel for the IrMC service may differ on your device. You c=
an=20
check for the correct service channel with the sdptool command:

sdptool browse *MAC*

and look for entrys like:

<snip>
Service Name: OBEX IrMC Sync Server
Service RecHandle: 0x10008
Service Class ID List:
  "IrMC Sync" (0x1104)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 8      <--- $CHANNEL
  "OBEX" (0x0008)
Profile Descriptor List:
  "IrMC Sync" (0x1104)
    Version: 0x0100
</snap>

In this case the bluetooth channel for the IrMC sync service is 8.
=46or more detailed description how to configure the irmc-sync plugin, read=
 the=20
README of irmc-sync which should be provided in the irmc-sync package.

If you have configured your irmc-sync member in your sync group start the=20
synchronization with:

msynctool --sync kdepim2irmc --filter-objtype note;

Hint: "--filter-objtype note" is required for newer Sony Erricson cellphone=
s=20
which also supports SyncML. (Most SE models with SyncML implementation seem=
s=20
to have a broken IrMC implementation which doesn't allow to sync the=20
notes/memos).

I would recommend to sync at the moment with msynctool because only msyncto=
ol=20
provide the --filter-objtype feature at the moment. This should be with=20
further version of OpenSync obsolte.

If you still have questions or if you don't understand something from this=
=20
mail don't hestitate to ask ;)
