KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.6 Release

[zautrix]

oops - I rechecked that and must back my words.. sorry zautrix

I splitted Your programs into other packages:
kapi - KA/PI + libmicrokabc plugins (file, dir, binary)
kopi - KO/PI
kopi-applet - applet alone
libmicrokabc1 - only libmicrokabc.so
libmicrokcal1 - only libmicrokcal.so
libmicrokdelibs - libmicrokdepim, libmicrokde, libmicroqtcompat

We have rearranged the linking and interapplication communication of the apps to make them load faster.

Now the linking is as follows:
kopi-applet - applet alone
kapi and kopi are linked to all the other libs, but

kapi is not linked to libmicrokcal.

kopi is not linked to libmicrokabc.

So, KDE PIM/Pi going to be shrunk down in install size sometime soon, maybe?

No. That is not possible.

Unfortunate... As I have my own custom ROM, giving 8 MB of space to PIM is a little challenging.  And having to install from IPKs would be annoying.

Oh well, I guess that can't be avoided with such a complex program...

Oooops ...

cleaning up my buildsystem made the microkdelibs package 800kB smaller( after it is installed, not the package file itself).

There was an old lib included, which was renamed and is needed only for phonesyncing in the kammu package.

Is it not possible to install the programs on Sd card?

I have a Zaurus 5000D with the full kdepim/pi stuff installed on SD card. Otherwise I have not enough space/memory left. The 5000D is the smallest zaurus available memory wise that is.

So far I have no problems running it from SD using OZ 3.3.5.
(Wondering though if this package will work on OZ 3.5.1)

Version 1.9.6 can be added into "upgrades" feed - but have low priority.

Disabeling fastload should "unload" that specific program. So that might be a solution you can try..

Hey, that works!

I learnt something new, thank you very much!

For reference, here's the shortest possible steps to get KO/Pi to shutdown if you'd normally use FastLoad (e.g. in order to re-load preferences):

• Go to Launcher, PIM Tab (use "HOME" key)
• Click-and-hold KO/Pi icon to get preferences
• Disable "Fast Load"
• Switch to KO/Pi (e.g. use "Calendar" key if configured)
• Choose "Exit (+ save)" from the "File" Menu
• (KO/Pi shuts down now). Repeat steps 1-3 to re-enable fastload
• Re-start KO/Pi

...And there was me thinking I'd have to reboot to get Qtopia to recognise a change in FastLoad status!

OZ 3.5.1 contain KDEPIM/PI in version 1.9.5 - kopi, kapi, kopi-applet are packaged:

Cool!
Since this application made my zaurus usable for the firsttime, I might think about upgrading OZ.

It would be nice if version 1.9.6 will become available though since it supports addressbook syncing.

Thanks

I sync from windows... so i wait for the new Ka/Pi windows version.
But it's not urgent for me  
Choice of configuration folder is more problematic at office

Hi   [PROBLEM FIXED: SEE BELOW]

I've broken scp by installing KDE/PIM 1.9.6 and I need some help to get it working again.

First let me say this is a great product, that makes the Zaurus really usable as a PIM, especially for those of us with Linux on the desktop.  The diary and address book functionality are superb.

Now, my problem. I held off upgrading from 1.9.3 until address book sync was included.  When 1.9.6 came out, I uninstalled 1.9.3 and downloaded and installed KA/PI, KO/PI and OM/PI, as well as the kdemicrolibs.

KA and KO worked fine. I got them to sync with my desktop over SSH.

But OM/PI wouldn't start from Qt. From the command line, it said it missing a library - I think it said libssl.so.0.9.7 (but I didn't make a note).  So I downloaded and installed libssl0.9.7b from here:
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1388

I suspect that might have been a mistake?

Anyway, both SSH and SCP stopped working (and, of course, my sync over SCP stopped working too.)

So I tried to uninstall libssl0.9.7.

I now find that:

- with libssl0.9.7b installed, SSH works; but SCP gives me the following error message " ... scp: undefined symbol: __ciz_tab "

- with libssl0.9.7b not installed, SSH and SCP do not work, with the error message " ... libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot load shared object file"

I would really like to get back to having SCP working, so that I can sync across my network.  I realise this is only partly related to KDE-PIM, but that is where my troubles began.

Thanks in advance

Owen

Just discovered this post here:

which solved my SSH problem completely.

Two other, more minor things.  

First, I have lost the icon on my PIM tab. (I tried downloading Pim_TAB_icon_1.9.6_arm.ipk and installing it: doesn't work. Indeed, this may have been what caused it to disappear in the first place)

Second, if I delete a contact from my address book, when I next sync the contact is added back to the file I removed it from, rather than deleted from the other file.

All the best

Please write, what are you doing exactly?
What are you syncing with what?

Ahh! I hadn't made the link between the scp bug and KDE-Pim. I'd been bitten by it too.

In my case, turns out I had another copy of libcrypto.so.0.9.7 on my Z, in /usr/mnt.rom/card/QtPalmtop/lib, which is before /usr/lib in the Library path. ipkg search didn't reveal any owners, so I guess it's from a package I failed to delete properly. mv'ing the file to a .BACKUP fixed the problem for me, without any obvious breakage of apps....

You can delete some of the following Ka/PI related libraries if you have no need for them. But that depends on how and on which OS you are using Ka/Pi.
But it has no influence on the needed main-mamory of Ka/Pi


libmicrokabc_dir - support for Ka/Pi Addressbook storage in dir format.
libmicrokabc_qtopia - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of (old) sharp xml fileformat.
libmicrokabc_opie - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of opie xml file format.
libmicrokabc_sharpdtm - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of new sharp dtm fileformat.
libmicrokabcformat_binary - support to store Ka/Pi Addressbooks in binary format.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

I deleted an entry from the address book in KA/PI on my Zaurus.  I then synchronized the Z with my desktop std.vcf file (which still contained the entry) - using the KA/PI sync with remote file facility over SSH.  The result of the sync was that the deleted entry was added back to the Zaurus file, rather than deleted from the desktop file.

Does that make sense?

Did you synced already before deleting the item on the Z.?
Or was it the first sync?

I had already synced.  I think.  

Zautrix: let me see if I can reproduce the problem and then report it in more detail. I don't want to waste any more of your valuable time (when you could, for example, be working on getting KO/PI and KA/PI to receive appointments and VCF cards by infrared beam   )  I'll test further and report back.

Just to repeat my earlier post: great work on this.  It really makes the Z my indispensable companion.
