Dear Patrick,
I can't run syncevolution and kindly ask you for help.
Phone manufacturer Nokia
Phone model 6110 Navigator
SyncEvolution version 1.1-2
SyncEvolution platform Ubuntu (2.6.32275-4 / Gnome),
CPU Intel Core i5
SyncEvolution backend Evolution 2.28.3
Packet Source http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt stable

Sync Profile in phone: "PC suite" with standard settings (protected,
cannot be changed)
In evolution I am using 1 addressbook and 3 calendars. Syncronization is
desired only for these items and only from evolution to the mobile phone.
So what you want is "one way synchronization". That's doable. But
synchronizing multiple calendars is not possible because the phone only
supports one calendar. By default, SyncEvolution will synchronize the
first calendar it finds, which typically is the "Personal" one.
There is a feature request to merge calendars on-the-fly, but it hasn't
been implemented.
I
am using bluetooth. Bluetooth is working well since I can see and access data
on the mobile phone from the laptop (file transfer is possible). Syncing is
not working:
Problems:
- starting only possible in terminal with "sync-ui" (not through the desktop
menu)
- terminal messages:
(sync-ui:3542): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_sensitive: assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Not sure what that means. Doesn't seem to cause known problems.
** (sync-ui:3542): WARNING **: Unidentified sync report item:
source-todo-virtualsource=calendar+todo
There is a known issue about statistics for "calendar+todo", which this
one is about.
the GUI is coming up, bluetooth link is active, options can be set,
syncing
can be started.
Syncing is failing:
message in terminal window (repeatedly):
** (sync-ui:3542): WARNING **: Error in Server.StartSession: Method
"StartSessionWithFlags" with signature "sas" on interface
"org.syncevolution.Server" doesn't exist
status message in on phone: "abgebrochen" (interrupted)
No data have been exchanged. Similar message in the syncevolution-GUI.
Your sync-ui is talking to an old version of syncevo-dbus-server.
------------------------------------------------------------
I tried out a lot of things before, all without success:
- changing the source from stable to unstable
- installing additionally the packet syncevolution instead of
syncevolution-evolution
- installling sync-ui
-----------------------------------------------------------
I assume that I have to specify in more detail the calendar in evolution that
shall be used for syncing and I am not sure if the sync profile on the cell
phone is correct.
You are installing from syncevolution.org, so you should install
"syncevolution-evolution", and nothing else. Please uninstall
"syncevolution", "sync-ui", "syncevolution-evolution", then
reinstall
"syncevolution-evolution". You should get 1.1.1 now.
Before starting the sync-ui, make sure that syncevo-dbus-server is not
running. In shell, do "killall syncevo-dbus-server".
