Hi, just a few infos:
- for kubuntu 7.04 the methods (kpim, wathever) are not installed by the add/remove program, aptitude shows them.
- wammu shows the channel for the synchronization, for instance 8 for a SonyEricsson k610i.

Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial, but I’m having the same problem as Justin. Anyone know how to sort this out?

Thanks,

Thanks for the How To.
My handset is NOKIA - E50.
It supports both syncml client and syncml server over obex..
I have done with syncing from command line using
$msynctool –sync group_name

But when I do sync from mobile I get connection and disconnection which I can see in dump. The procedure on phone was as :
I create profile on mobile by
connectivity –> synchronize –> New sync profile –>
profile name — PC Suite
Application —
- Contacts -
- Include in sync — yes
- Remote database — Contacts
- Sync type — Normal
-Calender
- Include in sync — yes
- Remote database — Calender
- Sync type — Normal

Then I do syncronise on mobile…and select my PC BT adapter
Last devices used ==== BlueZ_PC
I select it which I have allready paired.
It says connecting and disconnecting…
No sync happens…
On system I was running
$msynctool –sync my-nokia-group –wait
> Synchronizing group “my-nokia-group”
It stops here.
Whats the other way to initiate sync from mobile…
Was this correct???

Hello.. I don’t have blutooth, so anybody now if it is possible to sync the N80 trough the USB cable??

Hi. Good news and bad!

I removed the username and password on my N80 and in the SyncML options tab. The SyncML pluggin now works as I see “283 entries read” topleft of the KitchenSync client area.

Unfortunately, in the area right of KDE PIM pluggin (where normally appears the word “ready”) i now briefly get “Error: broken pipe”

What could this be, anyone?

Kind regards,
Justin

Hi Urubatan. I did indeed edit the PC Suite profile in the phone and assigned a user and password. I can only think that it must be that my N80 only allows Server versions 1.1 or 1.2. I am trying other permutations of settings.

Thanks for the howto, Urubatan.
Unfortunatly, i am stuck in the same situation as Justin, the only difference is that i am using nokia 6120 classic. And, of course, the user name and the password was set.
Any suggestion?

Ciao!

Justin, have you tried to edit the PC Suite profile in the phone and setting a username and password for it?

Eduardo, I used the Konqueror to browse the phone files, and the popup to pair the phone showed while browsing the files

Hi Urubatan
All done as shown in tutorial. I use an N80.

“On the SyncML over OBEX Client” line I get:
“Error: Auth required but not given”
displayed very briefly.
Synchronisation fails leaving my N80 displaying its “connecting” bar (N80 bluetooth icon is bracketed).

Note that my N80 Sync profile “PC Suite” allows only Server version 1.1 or 1.2. Tried (Kitchen set-to 1.0 & N80 set-to 1.1)
and (Kitchen set-to 1.1 & N80 set-to 1.1)
with same results.

I’m stuck.

Kind regards,
Justin
