Calendar does not synch with palm device

[Sébastien]

Binary package hint: kpilot

Since the last kdelib update in edgy, the calendar is no longer synchronized with my Palm T|X.

Just after the edgy update it was working pretty well. The problem happend just after the last kdelib update.

In fact, the ICS file is not modified, and the palm integrated calendar is not modified, and some information is lost.

Hi, can you provide us the output for:

dpkg -l | grep kdepim

[Sébastien (sesteve)]

$ dpkg -l | grep kdepim

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

this bug can be confirmed, there are two reporters with the same issue, same packages.

Seems to be something related with kdepim

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

it's confirmed via a duplicate

[Sylvain (lebon)]

Indeed I also have the same problem. And I would be very happy to be able to use my palm again.

Thks for your times

[George Bourozikas (george-bourozikas)]

I can confirm this bug - here is my setup:

$ dpkg -l | grep kdepim
ii kdepim-kio-plugins 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE pim I/O Slaves
ii kdepim-kresources 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE pim resource plugins
ii kdepim-wizards 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE server configuration wizards
ii libkdepim1a 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE PIM library

would be happy to send more debug info

[Coplan Toulouse (jean-guardia)]

Hi, I can confirm this bug too. My Zire 31 losts all calendar datas when i sync it with kubuntu Edgy

dpkg -l | grep kdepim
ii kdepim-kfile-plugins 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE File dialog plugins for palm and vcf fil
ii kdepim-kio-plugins 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE pim I/O Slaves

ii libkdepim1a 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 KDE PIM library

Thanks a lot Jean

[George Bourozikas (george-bourozikas)]

As an aid in debugging, installing kpilot from source fixes the problem.

[Ylan (ylan-segal)]

I also have the same problem after upgrading to edgy.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone posted the steps to install from source to work around this problem.

Thanks,

[Coplan Toulouse (jean-guardia)]

Hi every body,

i just download the sources from
http://cvs.codeyard.net/kpilot/develop.php#sources
untar it and compile it, but warning, warning it doesn't work too.
I lost every data on my zire 31. fortunately i've saved them before on another computer.
Excuse me for my poor english, i'm french.
Maybe the better is to get the source from edgy ?
is that what you meant George ?

thanks a lot Jean

[George Bourozikas (george-bourozikas)]

I used the source from codeyard, _not_ the source deb from edgy. My steps:

1) apt-get remove --purge kpilot

2)apt-get build-dep kpilot
apt-get install kdepim-dev

(kpilot depends on kdepim-dev but the dependency is not enforced, so you need to install it separately)

2) download, compile, install following the instructions in codeyard.net

and vcal syncing worked.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kdepim-dev: Depends: libkcal2-dev (= 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1) but it is not going
to be installed
              Depends: libkdepim1-dev (= 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1) but it is not going

Didn't get that far. Can you help me with the above?

I appreciate our help,

George,

Please disregard my previous message. I got it working. Apparently my sources
where out of whack. I was missing:

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/ edgy main

After I added it and ran apt-get update all sorted itself out.

Kpilot seems to be running fine, except for knotes.

Thanks a lot for the response. It worked but on my machine all my rendez-vous are repeated twice. i let it down. i will synchronize with dapper.

Best regards Jean

[Sébastien (sesteve)]

Still does not work for me sadly, even with the kubuntu repository !

Same problem here on my desktop and laptop, both fresh Edgy Final installs.

Hi,

Do you know when can I find a package for edgy ?

Thanks

I don't know of any packages that work for edgy. I built kpilot myself with
the steps described by George and it's working on my laptop.

[fgosse (fabien-gosse)]

Hi,

with : apt-get build-dep kpilot
I need to install many packages (105) for 500 Mo.
So, i prefer a lovely package for kpilot.

[JM Barbier (jm-barbier)]

Hi,

same problem for me, building from sources as explained by Georges solved it. I had the same problem on Debian (Unstable) one month ago, maybe #394534 bug... don't know if it is solved now..

J.M.B.

[MichaelRobbert (mrobbert-gmail)]

I am seeing this bug as well. Never used KDEPIM before Edgy so I have no idea if my issue could be longer standing. I tried installing from the subversion source at Codeyard and it installed fine, but the problem is not fixed with that. My device is a Clie N610C if that makes a difference.

Any ideas for me? Anything I can do to help get this solved?

Thanks,
Mike

[Frode M. Døving (frode)]

Hello.
Anyone with Feisty and a palm able to test kpilot from http://ubuntu.lnix.net/feisty/kdepim/

Please post feedback as comments to this bug.

I'm also working on fixing this for edgy.
Thanks.

[Frode M. Døving (frode)]

Edgy packages for testing available at
http://ubuntu.lnix.net/edgy/updates/kdepim-proposed/

Please post feedback as comments to this bug.

[Tom Albers (tomalbers-deactivatedaccount)]

I can confirm the those new packages sync the agenda. todo's (one way though) and addressbook.

[fgosse (fabien-gosse)]

Thanks,

The new package for kpilot works now : Kalendar synchs with palm device.

[Frode M. Døving (frode)]

Fixed kdepim is now available in feisty.

[Avdi Grimm (avdi)]

Using the Edgy proposed package referenced above (kpilot_3.5.5-0ubuntu1.1~proposed_i386.deb), when it starts synchronizing the datebook, the KPilot daemon crashes. Backtrace follows below:

I just installed kpilot_3.5.5-0ubuntu1.1~proposed_i386.deb from http://ubuntu.lnix.net/edgy/updates/kdepim-proposed/ and it fixed my issues with Edgy and a Palm Treo 650.

Is there a place where I can download a prebuildt amd64 package?

Not that i'm aware of.

[Dorian Pula (dorian-pula-deactivatedaccount)]

Confirmed. The deb from http://ubuntu.lnix.net/edgy/updates/kdepim-proposed/ fixes kpilot's data loss under Edgy.

Using a Palm Tungsten E. Thanks!

[Scott (firecat53)]

I'm experiencing the same crash of Kpilot that Avdi Grimm did back in November. When the date book is synchronizing, kpilot crashes. I've attached the backtrace log it generated, but I believe it's the same as Avdi had. I tried this both the proposed edgy updates noted above and with kpilot compiled from the most recent source.

Thanks, Scott

[Scott (firecat53)]

Sorry, I forgot to add that I'm using a Palm Tungsten T3.
Thanks, Scott

[Avdi Grimm (avdi)]

I'll just add that I never found a way to make this crash go away, so
I haven't been able to use calendar synch.

Just in case this helps at all:
