I'm a happy owner of the Nokia Internet Tablet N810. I use it as an organiser with the GPE applications (contacts, todo and calendar) and also for games. I also use it for web access when I have no bigger computer an a free wifi connection.
Work in progress : How to sync GPE between N810 and a Desktop linux
I want to sync my N810 with my linux so that I can edit my GPE applications on both sides (For example adding contacts on my linux desktop and my N810).
Syncing linux desktop <-> linux desktop
As I do not want loose data, I first synchronised GPE between to desktops (I copied my gpe files on on of the desktop to have a real data set).
The results are encouraging but not perfect (i'm using opensync 0.22):
- Synchronisation works
- conflicts are resolved in proposing between choosing one entry or duplicating (on kitchensync, you have now way to see the content of the entry)
- tasks are not well synchonised (task status)
- calenders are not well synchornised
- problem with recurent entries
- only one calendar synchronisation (the problem may come from gpesyncd)
- contacts synchrnosation seems to work quite well.
So synchonising gpe data via opensync is not ready yet for real data, I will stay by one way syncing (rsync).
Next paragraphs gibe you some hints on how to set up your synchrnonisation.
Builing gpesyncd
gpesyncd is missing on debian, so you have to build it yourself...
- as root
- apt-get install libcontactsdb-dev libeventdb-dev libgpepimc-dev libmimedir-gnome0-dev libgpevtype-dev libsqlite0-dev libtododb-dev
- svn checkout svn://projects.linuxtogo.org/svn/gpe/trunk/base/gpesyncd
- cd gpesyncd
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure
- make
- cd src
- as root
- cp gpesyncd /usr/local/bin
runnig the sync with opensync
- configure your synchronisation with kitchensync
- you can now synchronise !
