[Opensync-users] Syncing between "evo2-sync" and "irmc-sync"

[Mattias A. <mat...@st...>]

Hi everyone,

I have today (05-09-13, 14:30) built and installed Opensync, Multisync
(+ gui), evo2sync and irmc-sync.

Now, to set up a sync-pair, I would need to know what data I should
enter in the configuration file for the irmc-sync-pair. I have looked
virtually everywhere for such information, but can't seem to find it
anywhere.

Just to give you a hint about my setup:

$ msynctool --showgroup phone2evo

Groupname: phone2evo
Member 1: evo2-sync
Member 2: irmc-sync

To edit the first member i ran:

$ msynctool --configure phone2evo 1

This gave me a nice, pre-defined, file with every setting included. No
need to change anything here.

When running...

$ msynctool --configure phone2evo 2

... I get an empty file. Well, this wouldn't be that bad, if I only knew
in what format I should enter the settings for the phone.

Can anyone help me with example data or suggestions?

PS. Running Ubuntu Breezy, Colony CD 4, if anyone is wondering. The
phone I'd like to sync is a Sony Ericsson W800i. DS.

Thanks in advance / Mattias

Hello Mattias,

I've managed to sync irmc with file-sync last sunday. I've mailed my
configuration file for irmc-sync to tokoe, but he haven't had response
so far. I will send it again to you today (after I get off work to home :)

Just my thoughts; shouldn't a default file be there from the beginnning,
just like every other sync-plugin has?

Can't wait until I recieve that mail regarding the config-file... =)

Here it is :-) . Place it in $prefix/share/opensync/defaults/irmc-sync,
then it will become the default.

In this file, the <connectmedium> key can be 'ir' or 'bluetooth' or
'cable'. When it is infrared, another key <irname> should be defined to
the name of you phone. For example, my phone is 'T68'. And if you choose
bluetooth, the <btunit> and <btchannel> should be defined but i don't
know what to write.

Beside that, a patch is attached that makes it not crash and wait long
enough to finish the job.

Hi again,

Now I got the setup working. My next problem is that the only way I can
get things to sync, is to first create an instance (e.g. note, contact
or calendar item) on the phone, and then sync. This gives a copy in
Evolution. If I do changes to that item, everything is ok, the item is
then transferred back to the phone when i sync. BUT... If I make a new
instance on the computer, and then sync, the new instance won't be
transferred to the phone... Strange?

Has anyone experienced something similar? How can I tell what has gone
wrong?

I haven't tried to sync things back to phone...will have a test soon.
And I hope tokoe is here :)

Ah, and just for your information:

SyncML capacities (taken from W800i tech paper):
Contacts: vCard 2.1, Calendar: vCalendar 1.0, vTasks v1.0, vTodo v1.0,

Hello Mattias,
       I did a deeper test of irmc plugin today. First of all, I did a
fresh sync between irmc and file-sync, and it finished successfully as
usual. Then I immediately sync them again without any change on both
side. This time i got lots of:

Error writing entry 000013040000 to member 2: Entry already exists
Mapping Write Error: Entry already exists

The sync failed: Unable to write one or more objects

instead of telling me no new change. It still took minutes to finish, as
long as the first time did.

Last time, I created a new vcard file in the file sync directory, and
tried to sync it back to my phone. I got "Conflict for Mapping
0x8f330e0:" and let me choose 'Duplicate', 'Ignore' and 'Keep Newer'.
While I kept pressing 'n' for Keep Newer again and again, I was soon
bored and terminated the process in the end.

Hi,

I noticed that a clean sync makes things "seem" to work too. The problem
on my computer seems to be to get the mobile to accept items MADE with
Evolution.

Isn't there any developer out there who reads this who can give us some
hints?

OK, as abauer suggested, I got the trace log. While they are too large
to attach, I uploaded them elsewhere.

ftp://linuxfire.dhis.org/pub/lonestar/irmc-file-2.tar.bz2

Re: [Opensync-users] Syncing between "evo2-sync" and "irmc-sync"

[Mattias A. <mat...@st...>]

Well...

The attached config file worked fine (at least I think so). My problem
now is that the only content that gets synced is the content created on
the phone! If I create an appointment (or contact, whatever!) in
Evolution, it will not be transferred to the phone when syncing! If I
create an appointment on the phone, and then syncs, it is transferred to
Evolution. If I then edit it in Evolution, the changes will be applied
to the copy in the phone...

You get me? Strange isn't it? What could be the problem causing this?

Attaching my config file. The phone I use is a Sony Ericsson W800i:

==== CONFIG ====

<config>
        <connectmedium>bluetooth</connectmedium>
        <btunit>00:12:EE:6A:27:66</btunit>
        <btchannel>8</btchannel>
        <fixedst>true</fixedst>
        <donttellsync>false</donttellsync>
        <onlyphonenumbers>false</onlyphonenumbers>
        <dontacceptold>true</dontacceptold>
        <maximumage>3</maximumage>
        <translatecharset>false</translatecharset>
        <alarmtoirmc>true</alarmtoirmc>
        <alarmfromirmc>true</alarmfromirmc>
        <convertade>false</convertade>
</config>

==== CONFIG ====

Attached is also the log from my first sync attempt... which clearly
looks very fine, but indeed fails... =/

Thanks again! / Mattias
