[edit] agenda synchronization with kronolith/funambol
At work we use horde/kronolith for webmail/agenda and funambol 7 to sync with mobile. The funambol link is https://synchro.ddg.fr/sync. I've no access to the funambol configuration and I know almost nothing about calendar synchronization. After some tries I have a good syncevolution configuration
- install syncevolution.
Be careful, as you need to use extra-testing or extra-devel dangerous repositories you must read carefully the wiki page about them.
- use the gui to create a new source, we will use these parameters :
Service name : garone (just a private pun) Template : Funambol username : ... password : ...
after creation, finish
- enter this source and edit it (in the menu)
Sync URL : https://synchro.ddg.fr/sync Web URL : https://synchro.ddg.fr/ ... Contacts, Tasks and Notes synchronization : Disabled ... Calendar database : ical Calendar source : N900 (or another one if you've created it) Calendar synchronization : Normal sync
Last but not least, here comes the last steps in order to be able to Verify the server certificate against the CA cert.
$ cd /home/user/.config/syncevolution/garone \ && wget -OCA.pem --no-check-certificate https://url_of_CA_cert \ && perl -pi -e 's|^(SSLVerifyServer\s*=\s*)0|${1}1|' config.ini \ && perl -pi -e 's|^(SSLServerCertificates\s*=\s*).*|$1/home/user/.config/syncevolution/garone/CA.pem|' config.ini
You can check the whole thing with:
$ grep ^SSL config.ini SSLServerCertificates = /home/user/.config/syncevolution/garone/CA.pem SSLVerifyServer = 1
...and obviously if you fire up a synchronization. Starting with MicroB, you'll be able to browse sync logs at file:///home/user/.cache/syncevolution/
At the moment I've seen no problem. Recurring events work, two way (normal) sync works quite well too.
That's all folks
[edit] automatic OTA sync with fcron
I like automation. When I wake up I want to take my n900 with fresh podcasts, a calendar synced without thinking about it. Thanks to User:Ruskie it's very easy to do that with fcron.
cat /home/user/bin/night_sync
#!/bin/sh
# TODO: find a way to test against the wifi ESSID/network name
HOMEIP="192.168.0.4"
IP=`/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'`
# exit if it's not my wifi network
if [ "X$IP" != "X$HOMEIP" ]; then
echo "`date` not at home"
exit 0
fi
echo "`date` at home"
# add things here
/usr/bin/syncevolution --quiet agenor
/usr/bin/gpo update
/usr/bin/gpo download
and in fcron (fcrontab -e) :
%nightly,mail(no) * 5-6 su - user -c "/home/user/bin/night_sync > /tmp/night_sync.log 2>&1"
[edit] Icons placement
Change snap_to_grid to 16 in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini to easily align icons.

[edit] D-Bus
[edit] Various Commands
- automatically connect
# find the connection name gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP # connect it dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"IAP" uint32:0
- is there a phone call now ?
dbus-send --system --dest="com.nokia.csd.Call" --print-reply=literal "/com/nokia/csd/call/1" "com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.GetStatus" uint32 0
If this command return is 0 there's a call online.
[edit] Reminders
Some things I want to keep in mind
[edit] un-ignore package update
rm ~/.hildon-application-manager/{seen,tapped}-updates
== how to not index podcast in mediaplayer
Add /home/user/MyDocs/Podcasts/ to the NoWatchDirectory line in the tracker config file/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg
