Dear Mac & Zaurus addicts,
I have made the first alpha release of our syncing tool ready for download through this page:

http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?page=ZMacSync

It has a working GUI and is reading in the Mac Address Book, Calendar and Stickies. And it should contact the Zaurus through ssh and zdbat to fetch Addresses, ToDo, Calendar and Text Edit Notes.

Access to the Zaurus is the current main focus of development - makeing the communication with the Zaurus work. As there are many different Zaurus models and ROMs out there, we would be happy to learn from your experience.

Please test and report bugs including a copy of the MacOS X Console protocol to either:
* development@dsitri.de
* http://www.dsitri.de/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=18
* or here

NOTE: This release is not (yet) syncing anything, so don't expect too much.

Thanks for your support!

Hi
I'm willing to test but I have a Zaurus SLA-300 model running originla Sharp 1.50J ROM which uses the previous file formats for addressbook, datebook, etc.
Are there any chances for this to sync?
Ovi

Unfortunately, no. We are using the tool 'zdbat' to read&write the database and that can only access the newer (ROM 3.10) database.

Well, there is a slight option for the future as we will support plug-ins. But this will be the second step.

Sorry,
hns

Hi,

This sounds great!

However, I use MacOS 10.2.8. Your webpage says you need v10.3.

So can I use this or do I need to upgrade?

thanks,

Mark
C860

It is compiled on 10.3.3 and for 10.3.

I am not sure but I think 10.2 and 10.3 applications are not exactly compatible - epecially not backwards compatible. 10.3 applications might reference frameworks and methods that are not available on 10.2 systems. This would lead to an exception on the Console and application crash.

But just try out and report what happens.

If not, we should poll how many 10.2.x users are out there and try to compile a 10.2 version.

Hey
Is there an uninstaller for the Mac os x part.
if I cannot get this to work I dont want to screw up
my Mac connection.

thanks
keef

ZMacSync can be simply be removed to trash. It is a simple .app bundle.

A little more complex is to remove the Zaurus USB driver. It is AJZaurusUSB Version 0.2.5 from http://www.lucid-cake.net/osx_zaurus_usb/index_en.html

To remove, delete AJZaurusUSB.kext from /System/Library/Extensions

Sorry for not thinking about this.

So what was the response? Did not launch? Or some Error message?

-- hns

Hi
i installed everything ok.

The usb driver still works fine.

I get the error message:

Data from zaurus not available.

(Seems to write a backup file first but this is very fast.

mac osx panther and c860 with sharp rom


keef

What does the Console say?

-- hns

yeah I get the data not available thing too.

Hi

Just looking at the console log.

willpost shortly.

keef

Thanks!

I see. It is the lines:



The Zaurus plugin is not prepared to handle this yet...

The reason is that ssh needs some speccial command on first use and writes prompts to stderr and expects input on stdin.

You could try to do a manual ssh session in aTerminal window first:

$ ssh -l root <your zaurus address>

and answer the yes/no questions

-- hns

I will try this but dont expect too much as I have
no idea what i am doing here.

keef

-probably typing this in all wrong
but this is what I get:

bash-2.05$ ssh -| root zaurus
bash: ssh: command not found
bash: root: command not found
bash-2.05$ ssh -| root 192.168.129.201
bash: ssh: command not found
bash: root: command not found
bash-2.05$

keef

Well I haven't tried this yet, but it looks to me like you're doing this from your Zaurus, and I assume dhns meant for you to do it from the Mac. I think you also need ssh (OpenSSH probably) installed on the Zaurus, which isn't mentioned in the instructions I've seen.

Silly me!

Ok typed this in terminal and got some weird security message:
Last login: Thu May 6 19:21:35 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!

Ps I think Openssh is installed as part of the installation package.

If Irun Zmacsync after the terminal i can see it fetches addresses from the z
but doesnt place them in my address book.

keef

Exactly. Try to run ssh on the Mac to access openssh on the Zaurus. The openssh server ipk is included in the ZMacSync distribution. Just follow the instructions for installing 'zdbat' and 'openssh'.

-- dhns

That is exactly what openssh for Zaurus is also doing on my machines. I dont exactly understand where it is coming from but I assume that openssh brings this message if someone logs in as 'root' without password.

-- dhns

a couple of things. you do need to run ssh first from the terminal before zmacsync could work.

However, I am not sure this is the real problem with why it is not working correctly. I have toyed with it now for a couple of hours and am just getting much.

Here is one error related to having a single record in the z's address book with the first name Goober and the last name May. No other data.


Now with further toying I actually had a successful reed. It read all the data from the Mac, and said it wrote the data to files on the zaurus (forgot to save the console.log on that one) but I have not been able to repeat the situation. The only things I have changed are user name setting for the zaurus in zmacsync.

Dear Mac & Zaurus addicts,
there is now the second alpha release of our syncing tool ready for download through this page:

http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?page=ZMacSync

It has a working GUI and is reading in the Mac Address Book, Calendar and Stickies. And it should contact the Zaurus through ssh and zdbat to fetch Addresses, ToDo, Calendar and Text Edit Notes. And now, it is also formatting (but not yet writing) the Mac Address Book to the Zaurus.

Access to the Zaurus is the current main focus of development - makeing the communication with the Zaurus work. As there are many different Zaurus models and ROMs out there, we would be happy to learn from your experience.

Please test and report bugs including a copy of the MacOS X Console protocol to either:
* development@dsitri.de
* http://www.dsitri.de/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=18
* or here

NOTE: This release is not (yet) syncing anything, so don't expect too much.

Thanks again for your support!

Thank you very much! In the new release, this bug should have been solved.

Note, that we still do not write anything to the Zaurus or Mac Databases (although the GUI might tell so) not to clobber your databases.

Happy testing,
hns
