This will tell the evolution opensync plugin where to look for your evolution calendar and also to skip addressbook and tasks, because gnokii plugin can't handle them right now. You have evolution part configured. To configure gnokii plugin type: |

| Same rules apply as with evolution part, but configuration file should look like this: {{{ <config> <connection>bluetooth</connection> <port> __phone mac here, same as in .gnokiirc__ </port> <model> __phone model here. same as in .gnokiirc__ </model> </config> }}} |
The 2 at the end of the line indicates you're configuring the second member of the group. Once you run that, the text editor will be launched. This is XML, and it will scare you, but if you figure out how the file works, here's what you need to change: * identifier: PC Suite * wbxml: 1 * version: 1.1 * usestringtable: 1 If you're using a USB cable: * type 5 If you're using Bluetooth, check [[/Bluetooth]] and fill out: * bluetooth_address * bluetooth_channel |
Installation
The following packages should be installed:
- multisync-tools
- opensync-plugin-evolution
- opensync-plugin-syncml
- multisync0.90
Use System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager to grab those (or aptitude or apt-get if you are that sort of user).
Check your installation
To test if everything went ok type:
msynctool --listplugins
You should get:
Available options: syncml-http-server syncml-obex-client evo2-sync
Configuration
Group setup
Opensync is complicated. It requires you to define groups first; groups basically pair a device with an application. So the first thing to do is to create a group:
msynctool --addgroup nokia-evo
Next we need to add 2 members to our group, one for Evolution (using the evo2-sync plugin) and one for your phone (which uses the obex plugin).
msynctool --addmember nokia-evo evo2-sync msynctool --addmember nokia-evo gnokii-sync
Now, you will need to set up the actually applications.
Evolution
Remember I said it was complicated? Well, the next step is to configure group members. The Evolution side doesn't need configuring, but the phone does, so run:
export EDITOR=gedit && msynctool --configure nokia-evo 2
The 2 at the end of the line indicates you're configuring the second member of the group. Once you run that, the text editor will be launched. This is XML, and it will scare you, but if you figure out how the file works, here's what you need to change:
- identifier: PC Suite
- wbxml: 1
- version: 1.1
- usestringtable: 1
If you're using a USB cable:
- type 5
If you're using Bluetooth, check /Bluetooth and fill out:
- bluetooth_address
- bluetooth_channel
Syncing
Make sure the configuration has been updated using the command below:
msynctool --showgroup nokia-evo
If you encounter problems updating the configuration, try using a different editor (e.g. vi instead of gedit). That should be everything in terms of installing and configuration. Time to try to sync your phone. To do this type:
msynctool --sync nokia-evo
Alternatively you can start multisync0.90 graphical tool and do the syncing there. If you did everything right, it should output a lot of noisy stuff and the contacts should be synchronized. If not.. file a bug!
