[Opensync-users] syncml / msynctool issues

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

Hi,

a short notice to all people who have issues with syncml synchronization
though it worked (better) before: Please make sure that you dont have
wbxml 0.9.2 installed. Wbxml 0.9.2 currently has some bugs which
prevents synchronization to work correctly. You must have wbxml 0.9.0 +
the patches from libsyncml.

Oh, and another thing: If msynctool hangs during the sync, please make
sure that there are no objtypes which are only supported by one side.
All objtypes which are not supported must be disabled using
--filter-objtype <objtype>. There is no other workaround in the current
trunk, but the devel-branch will fix this issue once it is ready.

Example:

Synchronization with palm plugin and evo2 plugin:

evo2 is configured to sync events and contacts.
palm supports events, contacts, todos, and notes.

So msynctool must be called like this:

msynctool --sync palm-evo-group --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype to=
do


Best Regards,
Armin Bauer

Regarding the wbxml libraries, I'm currently running 0.9.2 so am trying to
roll back to 0.9.0. I've downloaded the source tarball for wbxml 0.9.0 but
can't seem to get access to the patch you mention as I can't get svn
configured correctly for our proxy (from what I've read on the subject I
think it's something to do with the proxy not having the right extensions so
it's not something I can do a lot about).

Is this patch downloadable by any other means?

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks,

I applied the patch and compiled the wbxml libs but this has only made
things worse I'm afraid. After downgrading libwbxml I seem to lose the
syncml-obex-client and syncml-http-client and instead get some kind of
generic syncml-client:

alex@2[~]$ msynctool --listplugins
Available plugins:
kdepim-sync
syncml-client
google-calendar
gnokii-sync
file-sync

Trying to sync with my nokia 6680 over bluetooth now gives an error:

alex@2[~]$ msynctool --sync pc_nokia
Synchronizing group "pc_nokia"
The previous synchronization was unclean. Slow-syncing

** ERROR **: file /tmp/buildd/opensync-
0.19+svn20060913/src/opensync/opensync_plugin.c: line 452
(osync_plugin_get_path): assertion failed: (plugin)
aborting...

I've upgraded wbxml back to 0.9.2 as this at least seems to do something bu=
t
I'm afraid I'm going to have to park this whole exercise as it's eating tim=
e
that I don't have.

Thanks to everyone who has helped and hopefully others will have more luck
than me.

All the best,

Alex

When syncing syncml <-> kdepim, adding "--filter-objtype calendar" 
does not stop msynctool from syncing the calendar entries.

[I know the calendar objtype is supported in both syncml and kdepim, 
but since it doesn't work well anyway, I thought I'd rather filter 
it]

The object type for Calendars is called "event". I hope with "event" it does 
work.

Common object types: event, contact, note, todo

You are correct, though I wonder why using calendar on the command 
line doesn't error out instead of syncing.

Thanks for the useful info.
