intellisynch and OZ 3.5.1
« on: September 30, 2004, 11:53:18 am »
I just upgraded my SL-5500 to the latest OZ 3.5.1 and like it even though it is a bit rough around the edges.  I am now trying to restore all my PIM data from Outlook via Intellisynch.  When I try to do this, I am unable to get any of my data back in to contacts and datebook.  Has anyone else gotten this to work?  If so how?  BTW, I am running the 64-0 image.

Thanks from this noob.

Unfortunately OZ-OPIE 3.51 and Intellisync use the wrong directory on Z's side for syncing.

All PIM data gets synced to "/home/root/Applications/". But data has to be synced to "/root/Applications/".

To get around this you will have to symlink "/home/root/" to "/root/".

Sw33T!!!!

I have been wavering between 3.5.1 and 3.2 mainly because of sync. I had been able to get 3.5.1 to sync but was unaware of the different directories. Now if we could get QPDF2 to compile and run on 3.5.1, I would be set as My Z is primarily used for PIM and reading Ebooks:)

@ technojunkie &
@ sujainath

As another Intellisync user (just like me) could you please tell me/us whether or not you are experiencing that "Sync Alert" annonyance, too?

If anyone can figure out how you can intellisync with SL5500, oz 3.5.1, I would be very appreciative. I'm interested in what version of intellisync to use, and how to set up the zaurus to accept the connection. I finally got oz 3.2 to sync correctly using intellisync 1.43, but I have had zero luck with syncronization either intellisync versions with 3.5.1. Any suggestions would help greatly.

Thanks,

Intellisync 1.43 works with OZ-OPIE 3.5.1 on a 5500.
Known glitches are: Sync Connection Alert and Syncing to wrong dir on Z (causes addressbook & todo & datebook to stay empty after sync).

Please post errors to the forum and/or ask more detailed questions.

I got it to run through the sync without any problems, but I think that I may not be doing the symlink correctly since after it syncs, my contacts and such do not update.
Is the correct syntax ln -s /root/ /home/root/ or is it ln -s /home/root/ /root/?

Or is this totally incorrect.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction as to what intellisync version to use. I really appreciate it.

drsaxman,

The syntax is "ln -s <target>  <directory>" so to link the existing directory /root to /home/root you'll need to do:

ln -s /root /home/root

Ok, Here is how I got intellisync to work in Windows 2000 (for anyone who may be having problems)

1.) Install intellisync 1.43 E.
2.) Set up network connections on PC and zaurus so that you can ping and ssh etc.
3.) Attempt to sync (keep hitting allow) and eventually it will say wrong version.
4.) Execute "mkdir /home/root/systeminfo && echo "1.13" >/home/root/systeminfo/linkver" -- this corrects the intellisync version problem
5.) Execute "ln -s /root /home/root" -- this corrects the problem with it syncing to the wrong directory.
6.) Run intellisync again, and keep clicking allow until it completes

The zaurus and your PC should now be in sync.

Now if I can just figure out how to fix the mapping of dates between my Outlook Calendar and the Zaurus. For instance, my appointment is showing at 5:30 PM in outlook, but it is registering as 11:30PM on the zaurus. Anyone else experience this anomaly?

drsaxman,

thank you for a very nice summary of how to get a 5500 to work with OZ-OPIE 3.5.1 and Intellisync! I think it'll help a lot of people.

To get back to your question:

I experienced the same problem, too. My timezone was set to Berlin (GMT+1) for germany. After syncing my 5500 with Outlook via Intellisync, appointments set for 14:00 in Outlook showed up for 12:00 on my Z. Difference of 2 hours in my case may be due to GMT+1 and additionally daylight savings time (+2 all in all).

Do you have this fixed now? If you don't there is a patch available at http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.1/upgrades/

Oh, thanks.

I switched to latest Hentges earlier because of given problems I noticed (timezomes, connection alarm, sync-to-wrong-dir). But Hentges also has that connection alert bug and sync-to-wrong-dir "problem" (I think because both distros are based on latest OE; or maybe OPIE is responsible for it!?). But soon I will re-flash to OZ-OPIE 3.5.1 again

Does anyone know if there is a workaround or upgrade to stop connection alert problem?

To fix the alert problem, switch the sync software dropdown in the Security app to Qtopia 1.7. It will still sync with Outlook.
