Hi, I'm in the process of migrating an aging but perfectly working setup of iCal
/ Sony-Ericsson k610i / OSX 10.5 to korganizer / k610i / Ubuntu 14.03 LTS.
However, syncevolution does not seem to find akonadi.
==end goal==
In the end goal, I want to synchronize the logical union of 10 icalendar files
(managed by korganizer on Ubuntu, some 3000 events in total), one of which is
Google calendar, over Bluetooth with the phone. The phone is actually a
Sony-Ericsson k510i with a Feisar plugin
(http://www.feisar.com/isync_notes.php), but it works reliably with iCal just
like a k610i. There is no internet (and no direct sync with Google) on the
phone for several reasons.
==current goal==
As an intermediate milestone, I'd like to sync one of korganizer's icalendars
with the phone.
==steps done==
Ubuntu uses the dpkg sources provided by Canonical.
So far, I've successfully paired the phone with the computer, and I transferred
its calendar data into evolution (unidirectionally) with the legacy sonyericsson
backend.
Things came crashing down when I tried to make syncevolution talk to akonadi, as
per https://syncevolution.org/wiki/kde-akonadi
syncevolution --print-databases
[...]
KDE Address Book = KDE Contacts = kde-contacts:
Personal Contacts (akonadi:?collection=2) <default>
KDE Calendar = kde-calendar:
Geburtstage und Jahrestage (akonadi:?collection=17) <default>
akonadi_ical_resource_24 (akonadi:?collection=7)
[...]
KDE Task List = KDE Tasks = kde-tasks:
[...]
KDE Memos = kde-memos:
[...]
I configured it with (all one line):
syncevolution --configure keyring=KDE addressbook/backend=kde-contacts
addressbook/database=akonadi:?collection=2 calendar/backend=kde-calendar
calendar/database=akonadi:?collection=7 todo/backend=kde-tasks
todo/database=akonadi:?collection=7 @default addressbook calendar todo
==testing done==
These commands succesfully export the selected calendar:
syncevolution --export - @default addressbook
syncevolution --print-items @default calendar
However, when I try to sync data from the computer to the phone
(unidirectionally, specified within the app), either with the "synchronization"
app or with this command,
SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution Meie-K510i
then no data actually lands on the phone. Furthermore, if I watch akonadi's logs
by starting it on a console,
akonadictl start 2>&1 |tee akonandi-log.txt
then calling syncevolution doesn't produce any output (as opposed to just about
any action in korganizer).
The log file is here: http://lpaste.net/109883

I can buy an Android handset if need be.
If it turns out that Linux cannot sync the handset, then I'd begrudingly accept
Windows. Apple have removed iSync from OSX, so a new Mac is not an option.
Google Calendar and similar cloud solutions are not an option because the
handheld should not have internet access for various reasons.
Thank you for your help,
Johannes
