I succeeded (one way) in syncing my Sony Ericsson K800i using the OpenSync Ubuntu packages: as stated on their website, they are in a very early stage of development!
You could find the following notes useful.
- add
deb http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/opensync-0.21/ feisty main
to your
/etc/apt/sources.list - install
libmultisync-plugin-backup
libmultisync-plugin-evolution
libmultisync-plugin-irmc
libmultisync-plugin-irmc-bluetooth
libopensync-plugin-evolution2
libopensync-plugin-evolution2-dev
libopensync-plugin-file
libopensync-plugin-gnokii
libopensync-plugin-google-calendar
libopensync-plugin-gpe
libopensync-plugin-irmc
libopensync-plugin-jescs
libopensync-plugin-kdepim
libopensync-plugin-ldap
libopensync-plugin-moto
libopensync-plugin-opie
libopensync-plugin-palm
libopensync-plugin-python
libopensync-plugin-sunbird
libopensync-plugin-synce
libopensync-plugin-syncml
libopensync0
libpisync0
librsync1
libsynce0
libsyncml0
msynctool
multisync
multisync-gui
opensyncutils
python-opensync - using
multisync-gui, set thesyncml-obex-clientplugin for the source with
<bluetooth_address>xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</bluetooth_address>
<!-- your sync ml channel -->
<bluetooth_channel>1</bluetooth_channel>
<identifier>PC Suite</identifier>
<version>1</version>
<type>2</type>
and set another plugin for the destination
multisync-gui syncs but it hangs at the end.

Hi,
I have quite the same experience with my SE W300i: it syncs one-way with the sunbird plugin (WEBdav ical) and hangs also. But it syncs ok with kdepim! It syncs still one-way, but it doesn’t hang.
As long as Korganizer (the KDE calendar) can use a WEBdav ical, it’s a workaround. Well, as far as installing KDE may be considered as a simple workaround!
BTW: you have far too much package installed. You can remove any package related to sync that doesn’t come from http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de (that is libmultisync*, multisync, etc.)
Hi Olivier,
you are right about the number of packages: using deborphan I found that most of them are not used but I still have not changed the list of this post.
Thank you.
