This is a Sync HowTo Zaurus <-> K-Desktop Environment(KDE) using the KDE-Pim/Pi applications KAddressbook/Pi (KA/Pi) and KOrganizer/Pi (KO/Pi) on the Zaurus (Z). You can now easily sync your Z with the PIM data of the KDE. (addressbook and calendar data). You need to install the desktop versions of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop. You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop. You need KA/Pi+KO/Pi version 1.9.11 or higher on the desktop and on the Z. NOTE: Almost the same procedure will make it possible to sync KA/Pi+KO/Pi running on Windows with KDE via network. The setup+sync procedure is: 0) How the syncing works 1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z 2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop 3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan 4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync 5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop 6) Sync ***************************************************** 0) How the syncing works ***************************************************** After setting up everything, the following actions will be performed when syncing: User enables "remote pi-sync" on desktop. User chooses "sync with configured desktop profile" on the Z. Z sends sync request via network to configured IP/port/password. KO/Pi on desktop detects sync request and syncs with KDE (configurable!). A window pops up, that KO/Pi on desktop is in "remote syncing mode". If a conflict occurs when syncing KO/PI<->KDE on the desktop, automatically the newest entry is choosen. (To avoid the need of user interaction) KO/Pi on desktop sends synced file to Zaurus. KO/Pi on desktop is in "waiting mode" to get synced file back. Zaurus is syncing it's own calendar with the received file.

After syncing with KDE is finished, KO/Pi closes the "remote syncing mode" window and displays a "syncing complete" message in the headline. The actual syncing KO/Pi on desktop <-> KDE is performed by a small command line tool "kdecaldump", which writes/reads the complete KDE calendar resources to a file/from a file. KO/Pi tags changed entries such that an unchanged entry is not changed in KDE by kdecaldump. That is important for calendar entries in KDE, stored in a "disconnected IMAP" calendar resource. Same way is KA/Pi working. ***************************************************** 1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z ***************************************************** Download latest version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ Project KDE/Pim. Direct link is: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 Click on the version number to read the release notes/change log.

Choose on the above download location: -File: KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm +File: KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.11-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm Download file and install it on console with su -rpm -ihv KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.10-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm - +rpm -ihv KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.11-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm +(NOTE:update with rpm -Uhv KDE-Pim-Pi-1.9.11-SuSE9.1.i586.rpm) NOTE for users of SuSE 9.1: You need KDE version 3.3.0 or higher on your desktop. Plese make an online update in SuSE (YAST), then update your KDE to version 3.3.0 or higher. You can find links to updated precompiled versions of KDE for SuSE 9.1 on the SusE web site, a direct link is for example: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1 HOWTO UPDATE KDE: Download there the packages in "base". And the needed package for your language in "internationalization". Put all downloaded files in one "installation" directory. Open console and go to the downloaded "installation" directory. Do there a su and then perform a test for the update: rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm If no dependencies are shown, you can do the actual update with rpm -Uhv *.rpm If there are missing dependencies, you can resolve them by - download the needed updated KDE package from the "applications" or from the "development" folder on the server. - adding a needed rpm package from the SuSE install DVD - remove the package that has dependencies from your "installation" directory. Do the rpm -Uhv --test *.rpm until you get no dependencies and no errors, then do a rpm -Uhv *.rpm Run SuSEconfig after installing with rpm is finished. Restart KDE. ***************************************************** 3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan ***************************************************** a) Connection via network cable/(W)Lan cards Connect your desktop to the network. Set up networking on the Z. Make sure, you can ping the desktop from Z. b) Connection via USB cable:(is working for Z 7x0 and Z5500) (i) Open console on desktop and type su |
