[Opensync-users] multisync still won't work

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

I'm trying for a long time to synchronize my HP IPAQ 1940 with evolution
as I have mentioned in this list.
system: AMD64 3000+ Linux 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5; 1 GB memory; sufficient
disk space; opensync 0.19-1 multisync 0.90.19-1.FC5.
When I use multisync it says:
"Error initializing: Unable to get config data: Member has not been
configured"
I have to plugins in use evolution and CLEO (which is my IPAQ 1940).
When I use msynctool I get the following messages:
____________________________________

The alsa warning is not relevant ( due to a misconfiguration of my sound
system) and apparently the picture is not found in that specific
directory but that is also not relevant (I think).
I have however no idea how to configure members as the WIKI pages
doesn't give information what errors mean and how to solve them.
Hopefully somebody can.

Hi,

Did you set up a partnership with your PDA?
Go to a terminal, and execute "synce-matchmaker status" (without the "")
when you connected your PDA.

Do you use the usb or bluetooth connection?

Why your msynctool complains about pixmaps, i don't know...

Basicly though, you just need to setup a partnership with synce between
your computer and your pda, and it should work (well, atleast
communicate, it's not really working 100% yet here)

Joep,

This page on the wiki describes an example of how OpenSync should work and 
makes it clear that some members need to be configured:

http://www.opensync.org/wiki/SetupGuide

Have a read.

Ian and Ochal,
Thanks for your answers.
Ian, I didn't know that page existed. I will read it and try to follow
the directions. At first look it seems rather cookbook-like but I will
look more carefully.
Ochal, I use the USB connection and the complaint of msynctool is
related to the fact that there is no multisync-0.90 directory in my
system and all pictures are in the
directory /usr/local/share/multisync/pixmaps.
I don't know where multisync gets it's local directory information.
Furthermore, when I connect my device I get a correct connection and the
device shows automagically on my desktop and in nautilus.
I can see the directory of the PDA in the nautilus window just as e.g.
an external USB drive: its label is Mobile Device
However, I just tried your suggestion of "synce-matchmaker status" and I
got a segmentation fault. Maybe I have to restart Linux.
Any other suggestions?
Joep

What distribution are you using? I own an identical iPaq, and it works 
with synce, eighter your distribution is getting in the way (there might 
be a dbus rule somewhere that starts all sorts of tasks when you plug in 
the usb cable & ipaq), or something else is interfering with synce.

If i remember correctly, OpenSync uses synce to do the talking with the 
PDA, so aslong as there is no partnership with the PDA & synce you will 
not be able to sync.

Ochal,
Thanks for your reply. I did a ps -ef and didn't find synce, although
the connection is recognised by the system. I use Fedora Core 5 (should
upgrade to 6).
I did a msynctool --plugins and it didn't show any although multisync
finds as well the evo2 as the file-sync plugin. I can see dccm is
running but I don't knoe how the various routines related to the
USB-connection of a PDA are working together (or not?).
I'll try your suggestion of starting opensync manually and let you know
the result.
Joep

You might want to checkout this site: 
http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/howto.php

PS: Opensync, while working, tends to screw up my contacts badly, you 
might consider using the old multisync 0.88 (iirc) for that one
