Are you sure that the P990 has support for syncing over OBEX? I haven't
seen anything about it, and I think that the bluetooth syncing on
Windows uses the Symbian specific mRouter transport protocol for
syncing. And isn't phones that support SyncML over OBEX supposed to show
this as a service when using e.g. "sdptool browse"?

I think that my patches should work with both http and OBEX, but as I
said above I don't think the P990 works with OBEX.
I updated my copy of the Subversion repository just now without getting
any conflicts, so I don't think the repository has changed
significantly. What sort of errors did you get?

That being said, my patches doesn't do anything useful yet, as there is
an unresolved problem when starting a real sync (as opposed to testing
with synml-http-server), see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30684964&forum_id=44498

Thanks. Unfortunately there is not much to test yet, apart from
verifying that you get the same errors as I get.
But my C is also very rusty, and I know (almost) nothing of libsyncml /
opensync internals, so please just give it a try if you have the time to
spare. ;-)

I had something very similar because libtool was missing. A package of libtool 
should exist for your distribution.

[Opensync-users] P990 and syncml-obex-client

[Neil S. <ope...@mo...>]

Hi all,

Is syncml-obex-client supposed to work on the P990 yet?

I know you guys are working on other syncml tools but I haven't heard syn=
cml-obex-client mentioned.

I have libsyncml from svn - revision 202, openobex 1.3 and wbxml2-0.9.2.
I can't get the patch H=E5vard Wigtil sent to the devel list last week to=
 apply - has svn moved on since that patch was generated? Does that patch=
 affect syncml-obex-client or just syncml-http-server?


I'd like to add my encouragement and thanks to your UIQ3 efforts, I'm hap=
py to help if possible. (my C is very rusty and I know nothing of opensyn=
c/syncml, but I can test and try things out if it would be useful)


Also, which channel should I be connecting to on the P990? The only servi=
ce that says 'serial port' is this one:
Service Name: m-Router Connectivity
Service Class ID List:
  "Serial Port" (0x1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 2



See below for the section of the tracelog where I believe the error start=
s - I can send more if that would be helpful.

Neil

I don't know anything about the Kubuntu packages, but OpenSync works as
a server in the sense that it listens for incoming connections from a
phone if you set it up to use syncml-http-server as one of the plug-ins.

I assume that the P800 will work like the P900, which requires at least
a small hack to start syncing currently:

Re: [Opensync-users] UIQ3 phones and opensync

Thanks for the responses, the bluetooth pan works perfectly,
its really grea, so there  is no  need f=FCr gnubox etc.

The patches are great news, I will have a look and perhaps
try. Moving vcards around works but is annoying, syncing
will be much better.

[Opensync-users] Nokia 6680 / evolution - contacts won't sync

[Kevin J. <rin...@kj...>]

Hi
I got opensync and evolution working for calendar entries, but the
Contacts won't sync off the phone to a new Contact list created in
evolution.

I created a new Contact List in Evolution (called OpenSync), then using
the multisync-0.90 tool pointed my group at this list for contacts. When
I try to sync with my phone, I get this lots of times (I'm guessing it's
for every contact, I have 136 contacts in my phone):

(process:6555): libebook-CRITICAL **: file e-book.c: line 352: assertion
`book && E_IS_BOOK (book)' failed

Any ideas? I have the following RPM versions:

libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.19-16.1
libopensync-plugin-syncml-0.19-17.2
libopensync-0.19-33.1
multisync-cli-0.90.19-19.1
multisync-gui-0.90.19-2.1
evolution-data-server-1.6.0-43.20
evolution-2.6.0-49.20

KEv.

There's no need for using gnubox with UIQ3 phones, they support 
Bluetooth PAN.

Anyway, there is some progress being made with regard to UIQ3 phones. 
Håvard Wigtil has sent some patches to the devel-list last week. The 
problem is (mostly) that OpenSync doesn't support SyncML 1.2, which the 
UIQ3 phones use.

With Håvard's patches, I can use syncml-http-server against my P990, but 
the syncml-plugin still needs some work. But I think it'll come soon :)

[Opensync-users] UIQ3 phones and opensync

[Karl M. <adh...@gm...>]

Hi,

I own a SE M600i which runs UIQ3 (based on Symbian 9.1). I tried
to make it sync with my kde addressbook, but no success so far.
Now before I spend much bigger amounts of time on that: Did
anyone else try this (with a M600 or a P990), is opensync
supposed to work with UIQ3?
My phone only does  SyncML over IP (no irmc, no SyncML over
Bluetooth), has someoneelse information on whether this is
true for all UIQ3 phones?

Thanks

[Opensync-users] multisync version # and other problems

[J.L. B. <jl...@ne...>]

I am still trying multisync to work but no luck.
I think a lot of problems have to do with the 64-bit environment.
Armin, I tried to remove the Werror flag but now it says it needs the
routines which weren't compiled as the warning came that they weren't
used.
Another problem I have with the downloaded version - using the FC5
repositories - is that I have donwloaded version 0.90-18 and the
opensync which is available is 0,18 but the about button says version
multisync has version 0.82. Can I try to remove the multisync binary
from /usr/bin and reinstall from the repository or do I have to remove
more.
Also in the multisync directory I have the following files:
/usr/local/lib/multisync/file_sync.la
/usr/local/lib/multisync/file_sync.so
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libevolution2_sync.a
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libevolution2_sync.la
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libevolution2_sync.so
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libsyncml_plugin.a
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libsyncml_plugin.la
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libsyncml_plugin.so
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libsyncml_plugin.so.0
/usr/local/lib/multisync/libsyncml_plugin.so.0.0.0
 As you can see the file file_sync.a is not present.
When I start multisync (version0.82) I only see a plugin with the name
Ximian Evolution (?) and SyncML. As I want to synchronize a Windows CE
PDA I assume I need file_sync.
Hope you - or somebody else - can direct me out of this puzzle so I can
sync Evolution and the PDA (trying for over a year!).

You can try to sync the 6230i. But in our tries it was only successful
if we synced a single database (like contacts) at a time.

My field of study is called "electrical engineering and information
technology". I mostly work on problems regarding robotics, since this
includes problems from mechanics, electrical engineering, control theory
and computer science, so i think its quite an interesting topic.

The robot i built is using RTAI and a PID controller written in
matlab/simulink for position control.

Some weeks ago (after the 0.19 release) I sent you some logs because
syncing with my 6230i still doesn't work, but I didn't receive an answer
yet. Are you saying that it could be worthwile to try again using the
new devel branches? Will I get the newest devel branch when I just check
out the default module from SVN?

As someone who worked on both closed and open source projects during my
studies I know that it can be hard to find the right balance. Anyway,
good luck for your diploma thesis!

That's interesting. What is your exact field of study? Is it computer
science or electrical engineering or something else? I studied computer
science ("Informatik") but my main interest was in embedded realtime
systems. Infact, my diploma thesis also involved working with Linux/RTAI
and among other things also included programming a PID controller.

I think I can help here: the san specification states that the target
should be set to "/" if the target is not known already. If the target
is known it should be explicitly set.

Previously, the target ("/") was hardcoded in libsyncml, so the second
case would not have been possible. I changed this.

Btw: libsyncml 0.4.1 has been released which should work correctly
together with the current syncml plugin.

[Opensync-users] Roadmap

[Armin B. <arm...@de...>]

Hi,

I just want to give a quick update about the current status of opensync
and what will be done in the near future:



We now finally released opensync 0.19 which is a major update, mainly
due to the introduction of an ipc between the engine and the plugins.
Libsyncml 0.4.1 was also released now.

Parallel to opensync 0.19, there was a lot of development on the
opensync devel branch, which will address the problems that 0.19
currently has. This branch is already pretty stable, but no final
release date can be given at the moment. But a first release of the
dev-branch (labeled 0.30) will be made not too far in the future.

Until 0.30 is released, the current trunk will be updated with bugfixes.
So we will problably make a 0.20 release of the trunk in the future for
these bugfixes.



The work on libsyncml focuses on providing support for all mobile
phones, which are having problems at the moment, as well as adding some
missing features like full support for syncml 1.2 and md5 auth.


Oh, and something in private matters:

sorry that i have been so quiet on the list in the last weeks / months.
I had a lot of work to do for university. Besides writing my exams i
also had to finish my "Studienarbeit" (similar to a bachelor thesis
maybe). I will now try to start my diploma thesis so i can finally
finish my studies.

If your interested in what i have been doing in my bachelor thesis:


The title was (roughly translated) "Design of a omnidirectional,
holonomic robotic platform". So i had to design, build and control a
robot which had an holonomic drive. A omnidirectional drive can go in
any direction (even sideways), but is often limited with the
trajectories that can be driven. A holonomic drive is also a
omnidirectional drive, but can basically drive any trajectory.

The application for this robot is in the field of wide-ranging
telepresence (think about a robot in a dangerous environment controlled
by a humen operator somehwere else) as a haptic display (so you can
actually feel the forces that the telerobot experiences). One scenario i
was testing in my study was a virtual labyrinth, which could be
navigated using my robot and where the forces on the robot (walls, a
spring, damping) could actually be felt.

In case you want to know more, you can download my paper here:

[Opensync-users] Libsyncml 0.4.1

[Armin B. <arm...@de...>]

Hi,

Libsyncml 0.4.1 has just been tagged / released. There are not too many
new features compared to 0.4.0, but several bugfixes. Some of the
changes include:

- Added better support for 1.2 SAN (though some parts are still missing)
- Added support for receiving SAN
- Added support for sending devinf
- Fixed various bugs

As always, you can either checkout 0.4.1 from the subversion tags
directory, or download from http://libsyncml.opensync.org/wiki/download.
Packages of libsyncml have either already been uploaded to the
distributions, or will follow soon.

Thanks to everybody who helped in making this release happen and
contributed to libsyncml / opensync!

Armin
