+Sync HowTo Zaurus <-> KDE
+
+NOTE:
+CURRENTLY ONLY SYNCING OF CALENDAR DATA IS SUPPORTED!
+
+This is a
+Sync HowTo Zaurus <-> K-Desktop Environment(KDE)
+using the KDE-Pim/Pi applications
+KAddressbook/Pi (KA/Pi) and KOrganizer/Pi (KO/Pi)
+on the Zaurus (Z).
+
+You can now easily sync your Z with the
+PIM data of the KDE.
+(addressbook and calendar data).
+You need to install the desktop versions
+of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop.
+You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop.
+You need KA/Pi+KO/Pi version 1.9.11 or higher on the desktop
+and on the Z.
+
+NOTE: Almost the same procedure will make it possible to
+sync KA/Pi+KO/Pi running on Windows with KDE via network.
+
+The setup+sync procedure is:
+
+1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z
+2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
+3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network
+ (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan
+4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync
+5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
+6) Sync
+
+
+*****************************************************
+1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z
+*****************************************************
+
+Download latest version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi from
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/
+Project KDE/Pim.
+Direct link is:
+http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604
+Click on the version number to read the release notes/change log.
+Choose there the right precompiled package for your Z:
+For Sharp ROM
+-File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_SharpROM.ipk.zip
+For Open Zaurus ROM:
+-File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_OZ-gcc3xx.ipk.zip
+If unsure, choose:
+-File: kdepim_1.x.xx_for_SharpROM.ipk.zip
+
+Unzip the file and install the packages as usual on your Z.
+In order to intstall KA/Pi+KO/Pi on your Z,
+you need to install the following files:
+kmicrokdelibs_1.x.xx_arm.ipk
+kaddressbook_1.x.xx_arm.ipk
+korganizer_1.x.xx_arm.ipk
+
+*****************************************************
+2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
+*****************************************************
+
+Precompiled packages are available for SuSE 9.1.
+Choose on the above download location:
+File: KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm
+Download file and install it on console with
+su
+rpm -ihv KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm
+
+NOTE for users of SuSE 9.1:
+You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop.
+Plese make an online update in SuSE (YAST), then update
+your KDE to version 3.3.0 or higher.
+You can find links to updated precompiled versions of KDE
+for SuSE 9.1 on the SusE web site,
+a direct link is for example:
+ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1
+HOWTO UPDATE KDE:
+Download there the packages in "base".
+And the needed package for your language in "internationalization".
+Put all downloaded files in one "installation" directory.
+Open console and go to the downloaded "installation" directory.
+Do there a
+su
+and then perform a test for the update:
+rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm
+
+If no dependencies are shown, you can do the actual update with
+rpm -Uhv *.rpm
+
+If there are missing dependencies, you can resolve them by
+- download the needed updated KDE package from the
+ "applications" or from the "development" folder on the server.
+- adding a needed rpm package from the SuSE install DVD
+- remove the package that has dependencies from your "installation" directory.
+
+Do the
+rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm
+until you get no dependencies and no errors, then do a
+rpm -Uhv *.rpm
+Run
+SuSEconfig
+after installing with rpm is finished.
+Restart KDE.
+
+*****************************************************
+3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network
+ (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan
+*****************************************************
+
+a) Connection via network cable/(W)Lan cards
+ Connect your desktop to the network.
+ Set up networking on the Z.
+ Make sure, you can ping the desktop from Z.
+b) Connection via USB cable:(is working for Z 7x0 and Z5500)
+ (i) Open console on desktop and type
+ su
+ tail -f /var/log/messages
+ (ii) Connect your Z with the USB cable to your desktop
+ You should get as output in the above console
+ something like this:
+ ("BUG" is the name of the desktop computer!)
+ Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 2
+ Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: Product: SL-C860
+ Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Sharp
+ Oct 26 12:49:37 BUG /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[22659]: need a device for this command
+ Oct 26 12:49:43 BUG kernel: usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, Sharp Zaurus, PXA-2xx based
+ Oct 26 12:49:43 BUG kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbnet
+ You see in the 5. line ("BUG kernel: usb0: register"), that usb device usb0 is used.
+ (iii) Create a network startup entry in /etc/sysconfig/network
+ Depending of the number X of the used usb device, create a file
+ /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usbX
+ (in our case /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb0 )
+ with the following content:
+ # usbX config for Zaurus
+ IPADDR='192.168.129.200'
+ NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
+ NETWORK='192.168.129.0'
+ BROADCAST='192.168.129.255'
+ STARTMODE='hotplug'
+ (iv) Disconnect the Z and connect the Z again to the desktop.
+ Now you should be able to ping the Z from the desktop, try in console on desktop:
+ ping 192.168.129.201
+ Now you should be able to ping the desktop from the Z, try in console on Z:
+ ping 192.168.129.200
+
+ Now you will get a network connection automatically,
+ if you connect your Z to the desktop via the USB cable.
+
+
+In the following, we assume, that
+the desktop has the IP address: 192.168.129.200
+and that
+the Z has the IP address: 192.168.129.201
+
+*****************************************************
+4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync
+*****************************************************
+
+Start KO/Pi on the Z.
+Choose Menu: Synchronize - Configure
+Fill in name for "Local device name:", e.g. "Z760"
+Click on "New profile"
+Set name of "Profile:", e.g. "BUG".
+(that is the above name of the desktop computer)
+Choose "Profile kind": Pi-Sync.
+Set "Password for remote access", e.g. "xyz" for
+Calendar and Addressbook.
+Set Remote IP address to 192.168.129.200 for
+Calendar and Addressbook.
+(Note: That is the IP address of the desktop!).
+The "Remote port number" is 9197/9198 for
+Calendar and Addressbook.
+You do not have to change the
+"Remote port number" or any other settings.
+Click "OK" button to save your settings.
+
+Now you have configured KA/Pi+KO/Pi sync on the Z,
+no need to configure anything in KA/Pi.
+
+
+*****************************************************
+5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
+*****************************************************
+
+Start KO/Pi on the desktop.
+Do a "test" sync with KDE, choose menu:
+Synchronize - KDE_Desktop
+After syncing, you should have the same data in KDE
+and in KO/Pi.
+NOTE:
+The KO/Pi version 1.9.10 had the bug, that on the first
+sync with KDE, all data in KDE was deleted.
+DO NOT USE VERSION 1.9.10!
+
+The bevaviour on the first sync is
+(in versions >= 1.9.11)
+that no data is deleted, the data in KO/Pi and in
+KDE is merged into one calendar.
+
+When the first sync was ok, please choose menu:
+Synchronize - Enable Pi-sync
+Fill in the values for port ("9197" in our examle)
+and for the password ( "xyz" in our example)
+that you did configure on the Z for that computer.
+Enable "Automatically start at application start"
+and "Automatically sync with KDE-Desktop when receiving sync request"
+by checking the two boxes.
+Close KO/Pi.
+
+Configure / test KA/Pi on the desktop in the same way.
+Fill in the right value for the port (9198 in our examle)
+in KA/Pi!
+
+*****************************************************
+6) Sync
+*****************************************************
+
+After configuring everything as above, you have to do
+the following, if you want to sync your Zaurus with KDE:
+(It syncs will all resources in KDE, that are not "readonly").
+
+Start KO/Pi on the desktop.
+Connect the Z with the USB cable to your desktop.
+(Or to the local network).
+Choose on the Z the menu:
+Syncronize - <your name for the desktop sync profile>
+( that was "BUG" in our example ).
+That's all.
+
+Do the same with KA/Pi.
+
+NOTE:
+If an appointment/addressee is created on the Z, it is added to the
+standard resource in KDE.
+
+If you have todos with subtodos in your calendar, you will get on
+every sync (after you restartet KOrganizer or Kontact in KDE)
+the message "xx items changed on local", where
+xx is greater or equal to the number of todos.
+That behaviour is caused by a bug in KDE.
+(In KDE, everytime a subtodo is loaded,
+it's "last modified" settings are set to the current time - ouch!)
+I hope that bug will be fixed soon.
+
