Hello,
I'm trying to use syncevolution http server to sync may Android phone
(Nexus S) to my Evolution backend. On the Nexus I use the Funambol
SyncML client for Android. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 distribution and I've
compiled version 1.2.2 of syncevolution using configuration:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui --enable-dbus-service
--disable-ecal --disable-ebook --disable-shared
I've tried following various HOWTO:s to no avail. From the mailing list
archives I've gatherd, that this one:
http://syncevolution.org/wiki/synchronizing-evolution-http-howto
should be the up-to-date one. Is this correct?
Anyhow, when I try to sync my phone, using a minimal config from the
HOWTO, I get the following:
jpahka@laptop:~$ rm -fr .config/syncevolution
jpahka@laptop:~$ syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client \
--sync-property remoteDeviceId=fac-355031040909281 \
--sync-property username= \
--sync-property password= \
--source-property addressbook/uri=contacts \

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what to try out

Your problem however is something else.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 distribution and I've

should be the up-to-date one. Is this correct?
No. It's the one "to keep a phone in sync with Evolution". It's based
on
the assumption that you are using Evolution Data Server, which you
explicitly disabled.
I know that this can be confusing, so the HOWTO above explicitly says
"Setting up SyncEvolution as such an intermediary on an Internet server
is explained in another HOWTO":
http://syncevolution.org/wiki/http-server-howto
Do you have a suggestion how such a misunderstanding can be avoid in the
future?
Anyhow, when I try to sync my phone, using a minimal config from the
HOWTO, I get the following:
jpahka@laptop:~$ rm -fr .config/syncevolution
jpahka@laptop:~$ syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client \

> --sync-property username= \
> --sync-property password= \
> --source-property addressbook/uri=contacts \
> nexus
The key difference in the HOWTOs is that the configuration you are
quoting here implicitly uses the backend=addressbook, which doesn't work
without the EDS backend. Please have a look at the other HOWTO, it shows
how to set up the file backend instead.

And indeed, there seems to be no sources active in the configuration.
I think that's a side effect of not having a functional backend for
these sources. They are not activated unless that check succeeds.

Hello Patrick,
Thanks for your quick response and help. Really appreciated.

Ok. The version of the Funambol Client I'm using is 10.0.8, which is the
latest one as far as I can tell. I've used a local Funambol server in
the past, and I really don't want to go there again if at all possible,
it's no fun.
Do you have a suggestion how such a misunderstanding can be avoid in the
future?
Well, not really. Reading only the two wiki pages, it's relatively clear
what they mean. I guess I got confused with all the different HOWTOS I
was reading. The thing I'm after is just syncing my phon with a local
EDS. What I did is, I compiled syncevolution again with the following
configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui --enable-dbus-service
And after that did as below, and now perhaps hitting the problems you
mentioned earlier...

It might be worth mentioning in the "prerequisites" part which features
the SyncEvolution binary has to support.
BTW, why did you decide to compile your own binaries instead of using
the apt repos? Those should work on your Ubuntu installation.
I guess I got confused with all the different HOWTOS I was reading.

No, there's still a configuration problem.
The server log shows that the phone is trying to sync against "card",
which is not a know source on the server.

Use "card" instead of "contacts " above, or update your existing
config:
syncevolution --configure uri=card nexus addressbook

Well, as I said, I tried all kinds of things to get it to work.
Compiling the latest stable version was one of them. My background with
syncevolution has been with a Nokia phones, and everything has always
worked out of the box with them. With Android, this has been a bit more
involved...
No, there's still a configuration problem.

Use "card" instead of "contacts " above, or update your existing

This worked out. I can confirm that the first sync, when the phone
contact list is empty, works out fine with the funambol client 10.0.8,
and uri=card for addressbook on a Nexus S phone.
The next one, involving a comparison, doesn't work however. This is what

Calendar syncing I can't say much about, since apparently my Evolution

seen that this has come up previously on syncevolution list. Why it's
empty, I don't know.
Anyhow, the correct uri for calendar entries on this phone is: uri=event
Thank you Patrick for your help, now I at least have my old entries in

I've installed the Funambol app 10.0.8 on an HTC Desire. I can't
reproduce the smlProcessData error. Sending a new contact worked, both
ways. I have not enabled any other data source.
What I see instead is that the Funambol app doesn't properly respond to
all SyncML commands. That has the effect that the server keeps the
session open:
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received status for command 'Put', (outgoing
MsgID=1, CmdID=3)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received REQUIRED status for command 'Get',
(outgoing MsgID=1, CmdID=5)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received status for command 'SyncHdr',
(outgoing MsgID=3, CmdID=0)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] SESSION CANNOT END - Not yet received REQUIRED status for some
of 3 commands
The session then has to be aborted, which causes it to end with a local
400 status code. Not nice, but seems to work otherwise. Hmm, I always
encounter a slow sync. I haven't checked whether that is a side effect
of the 400 error.
My host side is Debian Testing, 64 bit, with SyncEvolution 1.2.2 from
syncevolution.org. I was using plain http.
As I can't replicate the problem, someone else will have to provide more
log files. Can someone set the loglevel to 5 in the SyncEvolution config
for the phone and send me the entire session directory, including the
syncevolution-log.html and the message dump files?

Hi Patrick,
I was away for a while but now I'm back. I'm very grateful for your help
and willing to try and help anyway I can to solve this issue. So, I'll
send the whole directory to your privately.
Note, that my client now is the FunV10 client, as the "official"
funambol client no longer has the ability to select the server it syncs
with. But this seems to be the same client more or less than the

I've installed the Funambol app 10.0.8 on an HTC Desire. I can't
reproduce the smlProcessData error. Sending a new contact worked, both
ways. I have not enabled any other data source.
What I see instead is that the Funambol app doesn't properly respond to
all SyncML commands. That has the effect that the server keeps the
session open:
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received status for command 'Put', (outgoing
MsgID=1, CmdID=3)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received REQUIRED status for command 'Get',
(outgoing MsgID=1, CmdID=5)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] - Not yet received status for command 'SyncHdr',
(outgoing MsgID=3, CmdID=0)
[2012-02-17 21:01:55.757] SESSION CANNOT END - Not yet received REQUIRED status for some
of 3 commands
The session then has to be aborted, which causes it to end with a local
400 status code. Not nice, but seems to work otherwise. Hmm, I always
encounter a slow sync. I haven't checked whether that is a side effect
of the 400 error.
My host side is Debian Testing, 64 bit, with SyncEvolution 1.2.2 from
syncevolution.org. I was using plain http.
As I can't replicate the problem, someone else will have to provide more
log files. Can someone set the loglevel to 5 in the SyncEvolution config
for the phone and send me the entire session directory, including the
syncevolution-log.html and the message dump files?

I've tried FunV10, but I cannot get it to work with SyncEvolution at
all. The initial configuration requires logging into the server
("Anmelden" in my German localization). That fails with a generic error
dialog ("Allgemeiner Fehler").
The server-side logs show that the client is trying to sync with a
"configuration" data source. There's no guarantee that such a source
exists on a generic SyncML service. In a normal SyncEvolution
installation, it doesn't, so the client gets a 404 error.
I tried creating one:
syncevolution --configure \
backend=file \
database=file:///tmp/funambol-config \
databaseFormat=text/plain \
sync=two-way \
funambol-android configuration
That avoids the 404 error, but because the server treats this as a
normal source with no special semantic attached, it requests a slow sync
(508 status code) in the initial sync and the client still shows the
same "generic error" dialog.
Even if we got past that point, there's no guarantee that emulating the
"configuration" source with plain text items would work with the client.
Quite frankly, I think you are better off with a SyncML client for
Android which is meant to be used with arbitrary SyncML servers by the
authors of the client. I can recommend the Synthesis client. I know that
you have to pay for it, but at least it works and you'll get support for
what you are trying to do with it.

Really. For me, the FunV10 worked exactly like the older funambol
client. I could log in to syncevolution (1.2.2) just fine, and the first
sync worked, like before.
Doing a two-way sync failed with the same SAN error:
[ERROR] sync: SML (or SAN) error processing incoming message (local,
status 20007)
I think it would be great if syncevolution worked with an open source
android client, and funambol client seems to be the only one. Of course,
I'm not the one writing the code, so.... If you do find time and

I am running FunV10, Version 10.1.1. Is that also your version?

I've looked at the logs that you sent me. It does indeed look like the
old problem.
Can you run the test again with the attached syncevo-http-server.py and

I'd like to double-check whether the corrupted incoming XML messages is
really broken the way it is dumped (with a complete Synthesis SyncML
messages appended after the incoming SyncML message) or whether that is
an artifact of how message buffers are handled internally:
syncevolution-log_msg003_006_incoming_ERR_0x200B.xml:
...
</Sync>
</SyncBody>
</SyncML>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>...
The part with line breaks was encoded by Funambol, the part without from
libsynthesis/SyncML Toolkit.
The updated Python script will log "processing incoming message"
followed by the actual message data. Does it contain the same mixture of
messages as quoted above?
I think it would be great if syncevolution worked with an open source
android client, and funambol client seems to be the only one. Of course,

Of course I'd like to support an open source Android client, but if that
client is making invalid assumptions ("server has 'configuration'
source") the it simply might not be possible without changing the
client.
Now your problem is different. I'm not sure yet where it comes from yet.
If the step above shows that the incoming data is sane, then we'll have
to resort to enabling debug code to the SyncML message decoding library.

The concatenation in the XML message dump is indeed an artifact of how
buffers are handled; it's not the root cause of the problem.
I tried to reproduce the decoding problem by feeding the same message
into a local SyncEvolution installation, but after making a few changes
to the message to fit into a normal session the problem didn't occur.
Juha, I have to rely on you for some remote debugging.
As a first step, please use the pre-release 1.2.99+20120228+SE+cb0b7f6
+SYSYNC+5e0f652 from the experimental apt repo on syncevolution.org or
from dowloads.syncevolution.org.
It has additional debug printing enabled in the SyncML Toolkit. Please
send me another server-side log of a failed sync attempt with that
version.
Perhaps it'll tell me something (not sure yet).
If it doesn't, do you know gdb well enough to step through the source
code manually?

I tried the .deb package, but it depended on kde,
How much of a problem is that?
I had to make a choice between compiling and packaging SyncEvolution
once, which implies that these binaries are run through all tests, and
compiling multiple times (for Evolution, for KDE) and then only
partially testing each package.
In the end I went for compiling once, because it is also less work.
What I could do is disable the KDE UI dependencies in the core
SyncEvolution by disabling KWallet support. The dependency on Akonadi in
the Akonadi backend doesn't have to be a hard dependency because only an
optional module depends on it. Failing to load that when libs are
missing is handled.
Yet another option, already discussed before, is to move
platform-specific code into modules. But that'll require further changes
to source code.
so I skipped it and
tried the binary build instead. That gave me some dbus version error,

You mean the .tar.gz? For that you still need the same KDE libs
(libkdeui, libkdecore, QtDbus, ...) on the system, otherwise
SyncEvolution can't start.
Anyhow, compiling the source worked out, and I
ran it again. Output sent to you.
Thanks. It remains a mystery. The logs show that it seems to parse six
vCards (last one: N:Tho). I don't see anything special in that vCard or
the one after it.
I also don't see any particular limits in the code, items in the Replace
command are a linked list that can be extended infinitely.

Hmm, don't know gdb at all, but I do have some experience of debugging

Please give it a try. Run "script /tmp/gdb.log; gdb
syncevo-dbus-server". Set a breakpoint in buildGenericCmd:
$ gdb /usr/libexec/syncevo-dbus-server
...
Reading symbols from /usr/libexec/syncevo-dbus-server...done.
(gdb) b buildGenericCmd
Function "buildGenericCmd" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (buildGenericCmd) pending.
(gdb) run
The symbol should get resolved once the shared libs are loaded.
Then run syncevo-http-server in a separate window. I think the first
call of buildGenericCmd() will be the right one, for the Replace command
in the second incoming message.
What we are looking out for is the place where the return code (usually
called rc) is set to SML_ERR_XLT_INVAL_SYNCML_DOC == 0x200B.
I suspect that the culprit is either inside appendItemList() or the
default case:
case TN_ITEM:
rc = appendItemList(pDecoder, &pGenCmd->itemList);
items++;
break;
default:
rc =
SML_DECODEERROR(SML_ERR_XLT_INVAL_SYNCML_DOC,pScanner,"buildGenericCmd");
So it should be okay to step over all other functions (with n = next)
and only step into appendItemList() with s (= step).
But before you do that, let's try a simpler approach for locating the
parse error:
$ gdb /usr/libexec/syncevo-dbus-server
...
(gdb) run

...
I expect that to stop at the breakpoint. What's the output of "bt" then?
If never stops there, then perhaps SML_ERR_XLT_INVAL_SYNCML_DOC is set
in those few places which are not wrapped in SML_DECODEERROR(). A grep
of the source turned up some places:
src/syncml_tk/src/sml/xlt/all/xltmetinf.c:77: return SML_ERR_XLT_INVAL_SYNCML_DOC;
src/syncml_tk/src/sml/xlt/all/xltmetinf.c:104: rc =

SML_ERR_XLT_INVAL_SYNCML_DOC;
src/syncml_tk/src/sml/xlt/all/xltmetinf.c:260:
In gdb, after "b show_decode_error", can you also cut-and-paste this:
b xltmetinf.c:77
b xltmetinf.c:104
b xltmetinf.c:130
b xltmetinf.c:169
b xltmetinf.c:196
b xltmetinf.c:260
If it never stops at any of these breakpoints, then please send me the
syncevolution-log.html of that failed sync. There must be an error in it
which is different from the one seen before.
If it stops and you used the "script" command, then /tmp/gdb.log will
have a full dump of your debug session. That's what you can send me.

So, there's one backtrace, hopefully a relevant one. If I did something
wrong or if you need more, please don't hesitate to ask. And thanks for
working on this.

Thanks for the detailed instructions, I *think* I got it right. Here's
what I did:
gdb /usr/libexec/syncevo-dbus-server
(gdb) run
[...]
#1 0x00d897ea in xmlHTMLEntity (pScanner=<optimized out>,
begin=0xbfffe288,
len=0xbfffe28c)
at
/home/jpahka/src/android/3/syncevolution-1.2.99+20120228+SE+cb0b7f6+SYSYNC+5e0f652/./src/synthesis/src/syncml_tk/src/sml/xlt/all/xltdecxml.c:667
Bingo.
Some of the vCards contain characters which were encoded using numeric
character references, for example @ became @ - these entities are
not handled by xmlHTMLEntity().
Of course, when I fed your message into the parser here I had picked
only the first contact, which didn't have an email address and thus
didn't trigger the problem.
I am unsure whether numeric character references are valid in XML. They
are certainly not necessary for things like the at sign, which has no
special meaning in XML.
I should be able to reproduce and fix the problem now. Stay tuned...

Great! Don't know how that has happened in my contacts list, it's been
through various databases :)
Anyhow, it's probably good to fix it in syncevolution, maybe just by
converting the invalid entries to valid characters?

The Funambol App must be encoding the characters like that. Probably
they use some code that was meant for HTML, which is unnecessarily
conservative regarding special characters when used for XML.
Of course, using binary XML would be a lot more efficient and avoid this
pitfall completely ;-}

I have a patch which does exactly that. I'll compile new binaries
soonish. But as you were compiling from source anyway, perhaps you can
try it? It's attached.
