Syncing Sony Ericsson agenda with OpenSync

By Carlo on 2007-05-08

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 the syncml-obex-client plugin 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.
