Dear list members,
(Please apologize if this is a double post, I'm having a hard time getting my messages
to the list.)
I am new to Syncevolution and I'm having trouble getting my calendar
synced.
I tried to follow Suyog's good tutorial there :
http://mobileyog.blogspot.com/2010/06/easiest-way-to-sync-your-mobile-pho...
My config (and phone) is exactly the same! (Ubuntu 10.04).
But I can't sync my calendar events: there's just no checkbox for them.
If I choose "Repair..." I do see check boxes (appointments /
appointments and tasks) but they are both greyed out.
This is for direct sync, but even stranger, all the network sync option
also miss a checkbox for appointments.
Contacts and notes, however, do sync well, but I really need to get my
calendar events synced!
Thanks in advance for any help - regards,
--

Is there perhaps a problem with the local calendar storage?
Which version of Evolution are you using? Which version of
SyncEvolution?
What do "syncevolution --daemon=no --version" and "syncevolution
--daemon=no" on the command line say?

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! It looks that the harder part is to
get my messages to the list!

All I can tell is that y old Palm Pilot synced well with this calendar.
Which version of Evolution are you using?
Evolution 2.28.3 (standard in Ubuntu Lucid -- 64bits, BTW).
Which version of
SyncEvolution?
Syncevolution 1.2.2 (perhaps _this_ is a difference with Suyog's
tutorial)
What do "syncevolution --daemon=no --version" and "syncevolution
--daemon=no" on the command line say?
They say a lot! I am unable to interpret the following, but the main
calendar, which I would like to sync, is "Personnel",
under /home/daniel/.evolution/addressbook/local/system.

They say a lot! I am unable to interpret the following, but the main
calendar, which I would like to sync, is "Personnel",
under /home/daniel/.evolution/addressbook/local/system.
That calendar is not the one that SyncEvolution finds first, and thus it
ends up using the Google calendar as "default" instead:
Evolution Calendar = evolution-calendar:
Perso Daniel (google://https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dclement8%
40gmail.com/private/full) <default>
This is used.
Google Daniel
(caldav://dclement8%40gmail.com@www.google.com/calendar/dav/dclement8@gmail.com/events/)
Personnel (file:///home/daniel/.evolution/calendar/local/system)
And not this one.
Because access to the Google calendar requires a password, it is
unusable via the GTK sync UI. But that's not what you want to do anyway.
To fix this problem, explicitly configure the default data sources. This
has to be done with the command line. Once you have done that, you can
use the GTK UI to configure syncing with your phone.
Here's the command line invocation which should do the trick:
syncevolution --configure backend=evolution-calendar \
database=Personnel \
@default calendar

Thank you for your detailed explanations.
In order to get your trick working, I had to completely erase my
previous (wrong) config. Then, I could see the check boxes that were
missing before. So I was full of hope.
However, there's something strange here. "appointments and tasks" is
checked. If I try to change anything (e.g. just uncheck it) I get a
message that says "A username is required for this service". Yet, it's
direct sync!
So I go for the default settings, but the sync ends with an "error
20023". I then try a slow sync, but same result.
But, when I opened my phone calendar, all my appointments were there!
So I kept on trying. The next sync gave me "error 412", but the slow
sync went OK.
And on the next attempt, even the normal sync was fine (except that
there was no comment below the "appointments and tasks" title in the
sync summary).
So, I'd say that's 99% success. My config is fully usable now. Very
nice.
Many thanks and best regards - Daniel

I can confirm that bug. It's a regression caused by the fix for BMC
#23106. I reopened that bug.
So I go for the default settings, but the sync ends with an
"error
20023". I then try a slow sync, but same result.
But, when I opened my phone calendar, all my appointments were there!
Some, but probably not all. 20023 means "incomplete sync". It happens
when some sources are okay and some were only synced partially.
So I kept on trying. The next sync gave me "error 412", but
the slow
sync went OK.
This again looks like the phone rejected some of your items.
And on the next attempt, even the normal sync was fine (except that
there was no comment below the "appointments and tasks" title in the
sync summary).
That's another long-standing bug:
https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1041
I have some ideas for generating statistics differently. Then it'll also
be easier to find out which items transferred okay and which didn't.
So, I'd say that's 99% success. My config is fully usable
now. Very
nice.
That's kind of you to call that 99% success. I'd still rather have it
100% successful, though ;-)
