Ubuntu :: Sync HTC Kaiser To Thunderbird + Lighning?
Oct 13, 2010
I'm trying to sync my HTC Kaiser to my thunderbird + lighning. What I'm really interested is to sync the calendar and contacts. I really look for other post regards this, but couldn't find it. Did anyone did this or has any idea on how can I do it?
What I did was:
Installed VB 3.2.10
I got My HTC recognized
But I don't know a program to sync the Thunderbird with the Lighning plugin for the calendar and the contacts. Any recomendation? PS: I would also like to be able to load aplications to it (cab files).
I've discovered Firefox Sync a while ago, and it's absolutely awesome. Now of course I'd like most of my software to work this way! So is there a way to get the same behavior with Thunderbird?
is it possible to sync thunderbird contacts and calendars (lightning) through Ubuntu One, for sharing from different machines? Or, are there any plans in the future to implement such thing? I know I could probably go through google calendar, but I don't want to do so.
I'm looking for a method to sync my calendars on my IMAP server with both my Thunderbird/Lightning any my Blackberry. I found "IMAP Calendar Proxy" here recently, but it has been inactive for 5 years. I've seen people suggesting the use of services like Plaxo and such, but I don't like the idea of a third party messing with my calendars and contacts. Also, I've had to remove several viruses from computers with Plaxo, and I'm not sure if it in itself is a virus or not..... It certainly is a thorn in my side as is. This is for my personal IMAP server, so I'd prefer a free solution even if it is more difficult to install than a paid version. I mainly need it to just sync my calendar to my Blackberry and Thunderbird and couldn't care less about the contacts.
I've been Googling for things for quite some time now, and haven't really found anything that says that it will work with Blackberry and Thunderbird. They really only give a sense of maybe with nothing really defined. I can put on an Ubuntu server to sync everything? I don't want to leave my computer on all the time, and RIM has yet to come out with something decent to sync Blackberries and Thunderbird properly as far as I know.
I have recently purchased a Kaiser Baas tuner card with a model number of KBA01010, it does not matter which package I use non of them can see the tuner card. I have tried kaffine and myTV, but ultimately I would like to get this device working with my mythtv installation.I have followed alot of threads suggesting updated firmware etc but still no luck. By the output from the dmesg I am guessing the firware on the card is different from past cards.
I have a Kaiser Baas DVB tuner, which is a USB device.I've installed the firmware, and dmesg tells me the firmware is loading.The wee red light tells me the tuner is operating.I'm running Fedora 11, and I've installed kaffeine, which recognizes there's a DVB device running. But when I do a channel scan (which I've tried using a couple of local sources and the AUTO option), I don't see any channels. I've tried various filter options, no joy.Using the supplied Windows software, a scan gives me about 20 digital channels.
I've got Ubuntu One syncing a single 25MB folder on 4 computers. On one of these computers, the ubuntuone-syncdaemon process constantly pegs the CPU, using from 50-80% long after any sync-able files have been modified and successfully synced. The process is only using 8.9MB of RAM.
Specs: Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic 1000.8 MB RAM Pentium 4 2.53GHz Free disk space: 280.9 GB System monitor shows 56.8% total RAM usage, 15.4% swap file usage.
Audio sync method. "Stretches/squeezes" the audio stream to match the timestamps, the parameter is the maximum samples per second by which the audio is changed. -async 1 is a special case where only the start of the audio stream is corrected without any later correction.Searching the net makes one believe that this command is just some sort of magic.People just put it in the line and it just works. Isn't that nice?
It says nothing about how to change the TIME the audio starts syncing. Like do I want it to start 5 seconds delayed? Or what about 5 seconds sooner?What if the audio gets more out of sync as the video goes on? Can I slip it a little at a time? What? No magic?No one mentions a file that already has badly synced audio.So what -async 1 really does is simply start the audio at the beginning of the file. LIKE AS IF THAT ISN'T STANDARD PROCEDURE?So what is the exact solution to syncing a messed up video? And why can't it just do the proper "timestamp" sync in the first place?No docs, no info and you are left out in the cold.
I use jpilot on opensuse 11.3 64bit to sync pim data with my Palm Treo 680 via bluetooth. This worked fine until today. Now I get the following error message when I try to sync: Syncing on device bt: Press the HotSync button now dlp_ReadSysInfo error Exiting with status YNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT Finished.
The last successfull sync was on the 20th October and today is the 24th October. I did not change any settings in jpilot or on my palm device. So I guess there must have been an update of opensuse which causes this error. But I do not now how to look up the updates during this period or how to undo them. Was there an update between the 20th and the 24th Oktober, which might affect either jpilot or bluetooth functionality?
Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
It seems that selinux has stop weav to sync the bookmarks.I followed the fix code as SELinux suggested,but it can't work.Does anyone know how to solve it?
I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.
I have installed 11.4, and it seems (seemed) to work OK so far. I installed Thunderbird via the opensuse "1 click install". the installation ran smoothly, but now a click on the Thunderbird icon does not activate any mail client; the only success is that Thunderbird icon jumps joyfully and then disappears.
I want to use rsync to synchronize some folders on my LAN. I have this working with two scripts; one runs at the beginning of my work session and gets the latest directory tree from the server, and the other runs at the end of the session to put any local changes back on the server. My "get" script looks something like this:
This works well, and with the "b" option any file that has been deleted from the master directory tree on the server will be deleted from the local machine and moved to the local backup directory. This is a safety measure to prevent the loss of files through a mistake (on my part).
I want to run both scripts from the local machine, but the "put" script will not save deleted files to a backup directory. I tried using a remote backup directory like "my_server:/home/user/rsync_backup_dir" but this did not work. Is there a way to backup files deleted from a remote server from an rsync script run locally?
I have an iPhone 3GS and Ubuntu 10.04 x64 machine.When I plug in the phone it appears on the desktop.GTKPod opens automatically.When I close it and open RhythmBox, the phone disappears from the desktop.Looking at /var/log/messages, I see nothing about the iPhone being mounted.As an aside, I updated from 9.10 x64 to beta 10.04 x64, then upgraded to release 10.04.
As per title really i'm running 10.04 and the client shows sychronisation complete. If i add a new file to the ubuntu one folder it syncs up and is available however old files on the server never load to the local system.
I am just starting to get with the Unbuntu One set up. What a cracking idea and service.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and have a MacBook OSX for when I travel occasionally.
I can seem to see an answer to whether I can use my Mac to sync with my files on One or not. I have ssen the new Windows tool and the mobile App mentioned but nothing about Mac.
i set up ssh and unison on my windows machine and i am trying to do a sync on my ubuntu machine to windows. i am running into some issues.
certain paths give me the following error: Error: The path Music/Xxxx is ambiguous (i.e., the name of this path or one of its ancestors is the same, modulo capitalization, as another path in a case-sensitive filesystem, and you are synchronizing this filesystem with a case-insensitive filesystem. When i search for Xxxx on my ubuntu system i only see it in that one Music/Xxxx location.
I have a new portable media player, an Archos 5. I very much like it because there is much more I can do with it than with my iPod.
I managed to get it to work in Amarok once, to transfer my library from the iPod to it. Now, I can't get Amarok to read it. Everytime I try, it freezes up on me.
Has anybody had any better luck using a different program with the Archos 5? Is there maybe a way to make Amarok work with it?
So after much hate of Ubuntu One I uninstalled, --purged, and got rid of it. No I'm thinking of giving a second chance. I reinstalled, but IT JUST WON'T SYNC. It's just says your files are up to date...
I'm playing around with quickly a little bit, and was just experimenting with putting a CouchGrid into an application. It's kind of amazing how easy it is to get structured, persistent data by doing that.
But I would like to understand a little more about the synchronization with UbuntuOne. It has been mentioned here and there that there are hooks in UbuntuOne to synchronize particular apps across different computers, using desktopcouch. That's great and all, but I am actually concerned a bit about data security.
Does anyone know -- if I am working on a computer where I have UbuntuOne enabled, and where I'm using the free 2GB UbuntuOne account, and I write a quickly app that stores some information using desktopcouch; does that information automatically make its way to Canonical's servers? I'm really hoping that the answer is no, and that I would explicitly have to choose to enable some kind of synchronization with the UbuntuOne cloud. But it's really not clear yet from anything I've looked at.
I'm dual-booting Windows 7 and Lucid, and I want to sync my documents folder from /windows (a mounted ntfs partition) to Ubuntu One. I right-click and it lets me click on sync with Ubuntu One, but then it does nothing. I've checked and I am able to sync other folders from my ext4 filesystem. Any ideas?
I have setup a deb mirror that is syncing the Ubuntu repositories to my local server. I am maintaining various versions of Ubuntu, from Hardy through to Lucid. I am trying to get a copy of just "Karmic" repo's to my local HDD. The problem is all the packages are under one folder /pool:
main multiverse restricted universe How would I sync all the packages for just Karmic and not the other distro's to my local HDD.
I know there are syncing problems with Ubuntu One at the moment, but one of my computers is absolutely fine and another one just won't have anything to do with Ubuntu One contact sync. This is the last part of my desktop couch replication log -
2010-05-12 18:56:28,873 DEBUG started replicating 2010-05-12 18:56:28,875 ERROR replication of discovered hosts aborted Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/desktopcouch/replication.py", line 81, in do_all_replication dbus_io.get_seen_paired_hosts(uri=local_uri): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/desktopcouch/pair/couchdb_pairing/dbus_io.py", line 136, in get_seen_paired_hosts pairing_encyclopedia = couchdb_io.get_all_known_pairings(uri=uri) [Code].....
I have a simple question: Presume I have two (or more) computers set up with Ubuntu One. I copy the exact same file manually into my Ubuntu One folder on two computers, will the U1 service realise this and not download it again? For example, I want to copy to the cloud a large file so that I can share it with others. It will upload to the server from the computer I first copy it to. Then on the second computer I copy it to the Ubuntu One folder as well, because I don't want to download it since I already have it. Will the U1 service on the second computer see the local file and skip the download?
