General Discussion / Lord, do not make me commit the Crime!

« on: August 06, 2004, 09:36:59 pm »

However, with the upgrade to Mandrake 10 I have lost the ability to use KitchenSync. Installing just KitchenSync will create a segfault when you try to sync the Z with the KDE 3.2 desktop, and installing it the common way with everything will just make Kontact no longer work, which of course is also pretty annoying

I'm running Debian Testing ("sarge") and got KitchenSync to play nicely with others.  It's overwriting (IIRC) the libical files that get installed with your distro with its own.  Here's what I had to do for everything to work for me:

Configure like so:

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix=`kde-config -prefix` --libdir=/usr/local/lib --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3/
You may not need to specify --prefix and --with-qt-includes (but if you do, make sure that's really where your qt3 include files are!).  the --libdir switch makes sure you don't overwrite your libical files.  Go ahead and then make && make install.

But you really should probably either use zical to export your calendar items (search the forums, there's a good writeup on how to use it) or learn to love KO/PI; I didn't like it either at first but it's really incredibly nice to drop the Zaurus on the network and have your desktop pick up the calendar right away.  I've set up a resource on my desktop KOrganizer for "Calendar in remote file" and am using the fish:// kioslave to directly read the KO/PI data from the Zaurus.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / One word: disable sshd! (erm...)

The best way would be to delete the link, or rename it, so it doesn't start with a S, adding a dot "." to the beggining should suffice.

The standard way to do this is to change the S to a K, so a

Code: [Select]

# mv S20ssh K20ssh
should suffice.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Seeing doubles of files when only single copies exsist

It\'s not a problem with your script, it\'s a problem with the Launcher.  The medium mount application scans all directories on the machine, and is dumb about symlinks.  So /root being a symlink to /mnt/card/root makes anything in /root show up twice.  AFAIK, there\'s no workaround other than to turn off the Documents tab.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Addressbook displaying incorrectly

« on: June 18, 2004, 11:54:51 am »

I just got kitchensync 0.0.6 up and running on my Debian. Testing box (using ./configure --prefix=`kde-config -prefix` --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3/) and it syncs correctly with my 5500 running OZ3.2.  My Zaurus is set to America/Detroit in the City Time applet and English in the Language applet.  My problem is that the addressbook on my Zaurus is displaying addresses ZIP code first:

Code: [Select]

Work Address:

XXXX Burnwick Drive SE

49546 Grand Rapids, MI

USA

I believe my /root/Applications/addressbook/addressbook.xml file is correct:

Code: [Select]

But I honestly couldn\'t tell you if it was displaying correctly before syncing.  I just would like to think I would notice.  Does anybody have any idea if this is something I\'ve misconfigured?
