Re: gnome-pilot-list Digest, Vol 81, Issue 2

...I find it easier to just pop them open and replace the innards of the hardware!

Transferring settings to a new device

Hello,

I've had the opportunity of replacing my aging Treo 680 with a new one,
physically identical (though in better shape).

I'd like to transfer, if possible, everything from the old one to the
new one. What are my best options:

1) When pairing the new device, should I (could I) choose a different ID
than the old one? (Syncing the old one won't be necessary afterward.)

2) After the pairing is done, is it correct / possible to restore a
backup of the old device to the new one? My goal is to restore even the
apps. this way, and I don't think it would be enough to sync for that.

I do realize that some settings will need to be manually restored, but
I'd like to automate the process as much as possible.

TIA for advice - best regards,
--

gnome-pilot 2.91.93

Dear all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of gnome-pilot and
gnome-pilot-conduits 2.91.93.

This is a maintenance release to bring gnome-pilot-conduits up to gtk3,
and also to fix a few bugs, the most prominent of which was an incorrect
directory path for the evolution calendar conduit.

Matt

Sync between a computer and Palm device

I have had the same experience of losing data when I try to sync from my Palm either an event that’s repeated or one that doesn’t have a specific hour.  It appears that the problem lay whenever there’s any time difference between the computer and the Palm.  The work-around is easy, but it’s nuisance after a while.

Hotsync with evolution loses calendar entries occasionally - any ideas why?

My wife uses a Treo 680 with Evolution on xubuntu 10.04.

She uses both Evolution and the Treo 680 for entering and changing
calender entries, she hotsyncs them fairly regularly but sometimes it
doesn't get done for several days if she's away on business etc.

Most of the time it works fine and everything is synchronized correctly
but occasional items are missed and it's only her good memory that means
that they don't get forgotten.  

For example we recently came back from a short holiday and she hotsynced
the Treo with Evolution.  One item that she had put into the Treo for
8th August didn't appear on Evolution's calendar.  Simply making a
trivial change to the event got it synchronised correctly.

So, two questions:-

    Can anyone suggest a mechanism which might cause events to fail to
    synchronise occasionally?  E.g. would a hotsync *failure* make
    either end think that an item had been synchronised even when it
    hadn't and thus not be sent on the next (successful) hotsync?

    Is there a way to force a full synchronisation both ways so that one
    can be sure that the Treo 680 and Evolution are in step?  I know
    syncevolution has a way of doing this (it calls it a 'slow sync' I
    think).

Palm M500/Ubuntu/USB

I have a Palm M500 that I am trying to connect via USB to my PC running Ubuntu 11.04.  I am using the gnome-pilot software but when  I press the hotsync button, nothing happens.

Help would be much appreciated.

Current status (birthday supported?)

Hi, just a quick question, with Evolution 3.0.1 (and I guess
gnome-pilot 2.91.92) are birthdays supported with gnome-pilot sync?

memofile duplicates and missing

I have the MemoFile Conduit set to sync.
I'm seeing some strange behavior with the memofile files.   On the host
side there are a bunch of duplicated files w/ .1, .2, etc suffixes.
Also after a recent sync I noticed that some of the files had
disappeared on the PDA side.  I deleted all of the extra files and
'touched' all of the files on the host side and did another sync.  I
successfully got the files synced up so they were back on the PDA side
again, but some (not all) of the *.[1-9] files came back!  On the PDA
side now I have duplicates.  In the past I've seen duplicates pop up now
and then.

gnome-pilot 2.91.92

gnome-pilot 2.91.92 'Ellie', 2011-03-20
----------------------------------------
gnome-pilot provides integration between gnome and palmos-based PDAs,
including backup and synchronisation with evolution.

This version of gnome-pilot requires gnome-3.  It has been tested
against gnome version 2.91.91.  This version is largely complete,
but has not been heavily tested, so there may well be problems still
lurking.

Note that there is no support for gnome-shell, but the panel-applet
should work (ported from bonobo to dbus) in fallback mode.

Significant changes and bug fixes since 2.32.0:
   - complete port to gtk3/gnome3, #590215
   - update all libraries to major version 3, including conduits.  Should
     allow parallel installs with gnome-2 if desired.
   - migrated applet to use libpanel4 (dbus instead of bonobo) #592604, #630725
   - fix crash in configuration applet when configuring multiple Evolution
	conduits #644319
   - fix crash in configuration applet caused by non-ASCII characters in
	owner name, introduced in migration to dbus in 2.32.0
   - fix gob rules to support parallel builds, and todo conduit map-file patch  #634874,634869.
   - Fix map-file path for todo conduit. #634869
   - fix include problem when using a separate build directory.  #634880
   - Use dbus directly for device detection, instead of HAL. #593936
   - Use gnome-doc-utils (Mario Bl<C3><A4>ttermann)

installing

Hello Pilotists,
   Should I update my gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits?
Currently  I'm using...
Evolution 2.30.3
pilot-link 0.12.5
gnome-pilot 2.0.17-r1
gnome-pilot-conduits 2.0.17

   I use Gentoo and emerged Evolution w/ the pda USE flag, so it would
pull in pilot-link, gnome-pilot, and gnome-pilot conduits. it pulls in
the versions above... the newest versions are in Gentoo portage ...
gnome-pilot-2.32.0 and gnome-pilot-conduits-2.32.1 (marked ~86 for not
stable rated yet)
  My other question is...
 Do I need to re-emerge Evolution after updating gnome-pilot and
gnome-pilot conduits?  (I'm guessing that its worth my while to update
because of the address book conduit patches?)

   ((thanks go out to Matt and all for your amazing diligence w/ the
bugs, and the seemingly long time it took for upstream to respond))
