2 | Sync HowTo Zaurus <-> KDE | ||
3 | |||
4 | NOTE: | ||
5 | CURRENTLY ONLY SYNCING OF CALENDAR DATA IS SUPPORTED! | ||
6 | |||
7 | This is a | ||
8 | Sync HowTo Zaurus <-> K-Desktop Environment(KDE) | ||
9 | using the KDE-Pim/Pi applications | ||
10 | KAddressbook/Pi (KA/Pi) and KOrganizer/Pi (KO/Pi) | ||
11 | on the Zaurus (Z). | ||
12 | |||
13 | You can now easily sync your Z with the | ||
14 | PIM data of the KDE. | ||
15 | (addressbook and calendar data). | ||
16 | You need to install the desktop versions | ||
17 | of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop. | ||
18 | You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop. | ||
19 | You need KA/Pi+KO/Pi version 1.9.11 or higher on the desktop | ||
20 | and on the Z. | ||
21 | |||
22 | NOTE: Almost the same procedure will make it possible to | ||
23 | sync KA/Pi+KO/Pi running on Windows with KDE via network. | ||
24 | |||
25 | The setup+sync procedure is: | ||
26 | |||
27 | 1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z | ||
28 | 2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop | ||
29 | 3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network | ||
30 | (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan | ||
31 | 4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync | ||
32 | 5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop | ||
33 | 6) Sync | ||
34 | |||
35 | |||
36 | ***************************************************** | ||
37 | 1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z | ||
38 | ***************************************************** | ||
39 | |||
40 | Download latest version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi from | ||
41 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ | ||
42 | Project KDE/Pim. | ||
43 | Direct link is: | ||
44 | http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 | ||
45 | Click on the version number to read the release notes/change log. | ||
46 | Choose there the right precompiled package for your Z: | ||
47 | For Sharp ROM | ||
48 | -File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_SharpROM.ipk.zip | ||
49 | For Open Zaurus ROM: | ||
50 | -File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_OZ-gcc3xx.ipk.zip | ||
51 | If unsure, choose: | ||
52 | -File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_SharpROM.ipk.zip | ||
53 | |||
54 | Unzip the file and install the packages as usual on your Z. | ||
55 | In order to intstall KA/Pi+KO/Pi on your Z, | ||
56 | you need to install the following files: | ||
57 | kmicrokdelibs_1.x.xx_arm.ipk | ||
58 | kaddressbook_1.x.xx_arm.ipk | ||
59 | korganizer_1.x.xx_arm.ipk | ||
60 | |||
61 | ***************************************************** | ||
62 | 2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop | ||
63 | ***************************************************** | ||
64 | |||
65 | Precompiled packages are available for SuSE 9.1. | ||
66 | Choose on the above download location: | ||
67 | File: KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm | ||
68 | Download file and install it on console with | ||
69 | su | ||
70 | rpm -ihv KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm | ||
71 | |||
72 | NOTE for users of SuSE 9.1: | ||
73 | You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop. | ||
74 | Plese make an online update in SuSE (YAST), then update | ||
75 | your KDE to version 3.3.0 or higher. | ||
76 | You can find links to updated precompiled versions of KDE | ||
77 | for SuSE 9.1 on the SusE web site, | ||
78 | a direct link is for example: | ||
79 | ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1 | ||
80 | HOWTO UPDATE KDE: | ||
81 | Download there the packages in "base". | ||
82 | And the needed package for your language in "internationalization". | ||
83 | Put all downloaded files in one "installation" directory. | ||
84 | Open console and go to the downloaded "installation" directory. | ||
85 | Do there a | ||
86 | su | ||
87 | and then perform a test for the update: | ||
88 | rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm | ||
89 | |||
90 | If no dependencies are shown, you can do the actual update with | ||
91 | rpm -Uhv *.rpm | ||
92 | |||
93 | If there are missing dependencies, you can resolve them by | ||
94 | - download the needed updated KDE package from the | ||
95 | "applications" or from the "development" folder on the server. | ||
96 | - adding a needed rpm package from the SuSE install DVD | ||
97 | - remove the package that has dependencies from your "installation" directory. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Do the | ||
100 | rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm | ||
101 | until you get no dependencies and no errors, then do a | ||
102 | rpm -Uhv *.rpm | ||
103 | Run | ||
104 | SuSEconfig | ||
105 | after installing with rpm is finished. | ||
106 | Restart KDE. | ||
107 | |||
108 | ***************************************************** | ||
109 | 3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network | ||
110 | (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan | ||
111 | ***************************************************** | ||
112 | |||
113 | a) Connection via network cable/(W)Lan cards | ||
114 | Connect your desktop to the network. | ||
115 | Set up networking on the Z. | ||
116 | Make sure, you can ping the desktop from Z. | ||
117 | b) Connection via USB cable:(is working for Z 7x0 and Z5500) | ||
118 | (i) Open console on desktop and type | ||
119 | su | ||
120 | tail -f /var/log/messages | ||
121 | (ii) Connect your Z with the USB cable to your desktop | ||
122 | You should get as output in the above console | ||
123 | something like this: | ||
124 | ("BUG" is the name of the desktop computer!) | ||
125 | Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 | ||
126 | Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: Product: SL-C860 | ||
127 | Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Sharp | ||
128 | Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[22659]: need a device for this command | ||
129 | Oct 26 12:49:43 BUG kernel: usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, Sharp Zaurus, PXA-2xx based | ||
130 | Oct 26 12:49:43 BUG kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbnet | ||
131 | You see in the 5. line ("BUG kernel: usb0: register"), that usb device usb0 is used. | ||
132 | (iii) Create a network startup entry in /etc/sysconfig/network | ||
133 | Depending of the number X of the used usb device, create a file | ||
134 | /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usbX | ||
135 | (in our case /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb0 ) | ||
136 | with the following content: | ||
137 | # usbX config for Zaurus | ||
138 | IPADDR='192.168.129.200' | ||
139 | NETMASK='255.255.255.0' | ||
140 | NETWORK='192.168.129.0' | ||
141 | BROADCAST='192.168.129.255' | ||
142 | STARTMODE='hotplug' | ||
143 | (iv) Disconnect the Z and connect the Z again to the desktop. | ||
144 | Now you should be able to ping the Z from the desktop, try in console on desktop: | ||
145 | ping 192.168.129.201 | ||
146 | Now you should be able to ping the desktop from the Z, try in console on Z: | ||
147 | ping 192.168.129.200 | ||
148 | |||
149 | Now you will get a network connection automatically, | ||
150 | if you connect your Z to the desktop via the USB cable. | ||
151 | |||
152 | |||
153 | In the following, we assume, that | ||
154 | the desktop has the IP address: 192.168.129.200 | ||
155 | and that | ||
156 | the Z has the IP address: 192.168.129.201 | ||
157 | |||
158 | ***************************************************** | ||
159 | 4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync | ||
160 | ***************************************************** | ||
161 | |||
162 | Start KO/Pi on the Z. | ||
163 | Choose Menu: Synchronize - Configure | ||
164 | Fill in name for "Local device name:", e.g. "Z760" | ||
165 | Click on "New profile" | ||
166 | Set name of "Profile:", e.g. "BUG". | ||
167 | (that is the above name of the desktop computer) | ||
168 | Choose "Profile kind": Pi-Sync. | ||
169 | Set "Password for remote access", e.g. "xyz" for | ||
170 | Calendar and Addressbook. | ||
171 | Set Remote IP address to 192.168.129.200 for | ||
172 | Calendar and Addressbook. | ||
173 | (Note: That is the IP address of the desktop!). | ||
174 | The "Remote port number" is 9197/9198 for | ||
175 | Calendar and Addressbook. | ||
176 | You do not have to change the | ||
177 | "Remote port number" or any other settings. | ||
178 | Click "OK" button to save your settings. | ||
179 | |||
180 | Now you have configured KA/Pi+KO/Pi sync on the Z, | ||
181 | no need to configure anything in KA/Pi. | ||
182 | |||
183 | |||
184 | ***************************************************** | ||
185 | 5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop | ||
186 | ***************************************************** | ||
187 | |||
188 | Start KO/Pi on the desktop. | ||
189 | Do a "test" sync with KDE, choose menu: | ||
190 | Synchronize - KDE_Desktop | ||
191 | After syncing, you should have the same data in KDE | ||
192 | and in KO/Pi. | ||
193 | NOTE: | ||
194 | The KO/Pi version 1.9.10 had the bug, that on the first | ||
195 | sync with KDE, all data in KDE was deleted. | ||
196 | DO NOT USE VERSION 1.9.10! | ||
197 | |||
198 | The bevaviour on the first sync is | ||
199 | (in versions >= 1.9.11) | ||
200 | that no data is deleted, the data in KO/Pi and in | ||
201 | KDE is merged into one calendar. | ||
202 | |||
203 | When the first sync was ok, please choose menu: | ||
204 | Synchronize - Enable Pi-sync | ||
205 | Fill in the values for port ("9197" in our examle) | ||
206 | and for the password ( "xyz" in our example) | ||
207 | that you did configure on the Z for that computer. | ||
208 | Enable "Automatically start at application start" | ||
209 | and "Automatically sync with KDE-Desktop when receiving sync request" | ||
210 | by checking the two boxes. | ||
211 | Close KO/Pi. | ||
212 | |||
213 | Configure / test KA/Pi on the desktop in the same way. | ||
214 | Fill in the right value for the port (9198 in our examle) | ||
215 | in KA/Pi! | ||
216 | |||
217 | ***************************************************** | ||
218 | 6) Sync | ||
219 | ***************************************************** | ||
220 | |||
221 | After configuring everything as above, you have to do | ||
222 | the following, if you want to sync your Zaurus with KDE: | ||
223 | (It syncs will all resources in KDE, that are not "readonly"). | ||
224 | |||
225 | Start KO/Pi on the desktop. | ||
226 | Connect the Z with the USB cable to your desktop. | ||
227 | (Or to the local network). | ||
228 | Choose on the Z the menu: | ||
229 | Syncronize - <your name for the desktop sync profile> | ||
230 | ( that was "BUG" in our example ). | ||
231 | That's all. | ||
232 | |||
233 | Do the same with KA/Pi. | ||
234 | |||
235 | NOTE: | ||
236 | If an appointment/addressee is created on the Z, it is added to the | ||
237 | standard resource in KDE. | ||
238 | |||
239 | If you have todos with subtodos in your calendar, you will get on | ||
240 | every sync (after you restartet KOrganizer or Kontact in KDE) | ||
241 | the message "xx items changed on local", where | ||
242 | xx is greater or equal to the number of todos. | ||
243 | That behaviour is caused by a bug in KDE. | ||
244 | (In KDE, everytime a subtodo is loaded, | ||
245 | it's "last modified" settings are set to the current time - ouch!) | ||
246 | I hope that bug will be fixed soon. | ||
247 | |||
