It better not be a feature. Not happy. :-/ It's offscreen until that's fixed.

Same here. Still usuable, but not as pretty.

I'm treating it as a bug. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, however.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
Graham,

First of all, thank you so much for such a nice suite of programs. I am very interested in using the Contacts application. I have started using it with great pleasure from extras-testing on my N900. I have all the other GPE applications installed as well and I am very impressed by the looks of them, although I have not yet used them much.

In regards to your request for testing the extras-devel version, I am not able to install them. The app manager simply says that it was: "Unable to update 'GPE ****'. Some application packages required for the update are missing."

Edit:
Clicking on Details says: Application packages missing: gpesummary'(>=2.8+maemo+svn20100129-1)

Hi Graham,

is there a way to sync the N900 with the build in calendar database?
Or better to sync to the Nokia Pc-Suite ?

Thanks for your answer.

As another newcomer to N900 I would also like to be able to use the GPE suite as my main PIM. How can I take data from Outlook on pc (vista) to the N900? It appears I need Opensync/gpesyncd but can't see the latter to download on the N900.

As the data is already on the N900 via PC suite is it possible to import it from the inbuilt database?

Sorry if these are simple questions, but would really appreciate some help.:confused:

Many thanks

I run GPE aps on my N810 and on my Ubuntu desktop. Both versions are file compatible making sync really easy. Some open source run on multiple platforms. Is there a GPE for Windows?

Theoretically there could be, I don't know if anyone has tried.

Can you please try again? Please make sure you have the extras-testing repository enabled and do not have the extras-devel repository enabled.

I can install and upgrade from extras-testing and I have looked at the packages in the repository and they seem to be correct. The application manager should be trying to install version 2.8+maemo+svn20100212-1 of any of the applications.

gpesyncd is automatically installed whenever you install any of the GPE applications. However, OpenSync is not currently usable and it has no way to connect to Outlook or Exchange.

That is probably the most likely way forward, but there are no tools to do that yet. One day either SyncEvolution or OpenSync should be able to do that.

In the meantime you are really stuck with the limited capabiltiies built in to GPE which are of the form of import and export. This doesn't really solve the sync problem, however.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
I installed GPE Timesheet on my N900 and it really seems to fit what I need (I bill my clients by the hour per projects).

However, I was wondering whether there was any way to export the timelog so I can use it on my computer (csv, txt or any other file format)?

Having to manually copy the information from the N900 to my computer is a bit of a hassle.

Thanks,

There is a SQLite 2.1 file under /home/user/.gpe called 'timesheet'

I run the family of GPE PIM applications on my Ubuntu Linux desktop and they are file compatible with the GPE aps that run on my N810. The same may be true for the N900.

Hey Bob, I don't have a real snyc solution. But after being disappointed by the built-in N900 calendar (seriously, it's a joke IMO) I wanted to transfer my data stored in the default calendar to GPE. You can export the existing data from the default one and import it back with GPE. Worked great for me, everything was taken over, even alarms.

Transparency on the GPE widget ain't workjing for me neither, btw. :(

Okay, this is what you have to do:
1. Open up default Maemo 5 calendar
2. Select "Settings" on the top bar
3. Select "Edit calendars" (don't know the exact english term for it)
4. Click on a calendar you wish to export, i.e. "Hobby"
5. Select "Export" on the right side of the menu and save wherever you want to. Do this with all the calendars you'd like to have on GPE.

You are done in the default N900s calendar now. Time to go to GPE.

6. Open up GPE calendar
7. Select "Import" from the top bar
8. Go to the folder where you saved your files exported from the default calendar and select the file you want.
9. Now you can either import to an existing calendar type in GPE or you can create a new one on the fly. Please note that a larger calendar database takes quite some time to import and that the progress bar might freeze.
10. Repeat till all your exported data is done.

I really enjoy GPE calendar, so much better than the default solution. Thank you so much for creating the nice piece of software.:)

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
Sounds simple enough. Thanks!

* Are you getting category colors to work? They do not for me.
* No way to sync with a PC/Mac, or is there? Or do you keep your GPE Calendar in sync by repeated importing?

Taigatrommel 2010-03-12 12:21
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
Calendar colors work for me, they just don't really work in the preview, haven't played around with categories yet, but in the preview/editing screens, the colors are broken here too.

I am maybe the only person who completely manages his calendar on the N900 itself, so I never even bothered with Outlook (which I don't have anyways), Thunderbird/Sunbird or some Google stuff. So I can't really tell anything about this matter.

I am having trouble importing to GPE calendar. Here is the error I am getting.

Graham Cobb 2010-03-15 11:30
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
x61, I will contact you offline to look into both these problems.

Graham Cobb 2010-03-19 00:03
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
The problem installing GPE Timesheet has gone away. If anyone else is having problems please report them here.

The import problem is (in my view) a bug in the Maemo Calendar program export code. I will add a workround in the next release of GPE to ignore the bad alarm repeat interval but, in the meantime, if you get that error when importing a file from Maemo Calendar you can work round it by making changes to the file. Use the following command line to fix the file:

Code:
sed -e s/DURATION:PT0S/DURATION:PT1S/ <file1.ics >file2.ics
where file1.ics is the bad file from Maemo Calendar and file2.ics is a new file which will be created with the problem corrected.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
How do we import contacts from our contacts book to the gpe contact? I tried doing it but it seems like it has to be done individually. It would really be great to be able to simple import all contacts to gpe contact without doing them individually.

Graham Cobb 2010-03-20 21:47
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
The GPE Contacts menu item is called "Import VCard" but, in fact, it will import all the vcards in a file. So, if you can get all your contacts exported to a single file, GPE Contacts can import them. You can also use "gpe-contacts -i" to import a file.

You can use the N900 Contacts app to export all contacts (I recommend doing it in vCard 3.0 format): unfortunately it will create one file per contact. If you let it put them in the default location (the "Exported contacts" directory in your MyDocs directory), the following command entered at the Xterm prompt will import the ones which are valid:

Code:
for f in MyDocs/Exported\ contacts/* ; do gpe-contacts -i "$f" ; done
However, be aware that the Maemo Contacts app tends to create invalid vCards (missing the N: attribute).

I suggest that for any files which give an error, but you care about, you edit the file to add the line:

Code:
N:lastname;firstname;;;
and then re-import that file. Note that the semi-colons are important.

Graham

I am going to try and figure out a way to do this in a script so that I can create and alarmd entry to automatically import updated versions of the calendar as it comes over from mfe. I am just on a wild goose chase?

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
This is a PR1.2 bug. Unfortunately I have only recently upgraded and hadn't noticed this yet. The problem is explained in Bug 10370 and in this thread but the workround is to get root access and type in the following two commands. Note: there are two commands but I have split them over two lines each to avoid them wrapping in a confusing way. Take care to copy them exactly and enter them as 4 lines as shown.

Code:
mv /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/gtk-* \
 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
ln -sf general_delete.png \
 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/gtk-delete.png

Ok, I'm new to this ( or just stupid he he ) "root access" What application chould I wriit the code in to, and how do I do this with root access ? I made some web pages, installed some php portals, foroms. And wery wery basic old DOS 6.2. There is my level of expertise... Could I fix this or is it like instructing mother in law to land a 747 ?

Palmin 2010-07-25 17:45
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
Figured it out, for others like me, Download/install "Rootish" . Start x-terminal on the N900 and wrigt the command: “sudo gainroot”. (press Enter.) Copy our god mans code above by copy. (Access this page on the N900, fetsh the "arow-curser" from screens left upper corner, Press Shift and mark the code; Press Ctrl and C. Go back to X-Terminal and Click menue on topp, chouse "Glue" (Ctrl V ,does not work here) And last, Enter! And, it works.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
I have also created a package in extras-devel called "Fix PR1.2 Missing Icons" (also known as fixpr12icons). Installing this package causes the icons to be set up correctly. The package can then be uninstalled or left.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
I don't know if this is the best place to post or not, but I am trying to use GPE Calendar on my N900 and so far it looks great. But I can't seem to find the GPE Summary widget, so in order to have alarms I have to leave the calendar running all the time and make sure I restart it after a reboot.

I have extras-testing and extras-devel enabled and I can't see it, can someone please tell me where I can get GPE Summary?

Cheers.

Graham Cobb 2010-08-01 15:32
Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
The GPE Summary widget is now installed automatically whenever GPE Calendar, Contacts or Todo are installed. It isn't a separate installation any more.

If it isn't already on one of your home screens, just add it like any other widget -- it should be in the list.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
I couldn't find a way to enter this bug in the maemo bug list, so here it is. Let me know if there is a better place to submit this.

I'm using the latest n900 GPE. Much more features than the built-in calendar.

I have a recurring event created on Saturday, May 21, 2011. It is an all-day event set to recur on the 3rd saturday of every month. This is fine until November. In the November month display, it is shown on Friday, Nov 18 instead of Saturday, Nov 19. In the day views it is not shown at all (does not appear on Nov 18 or Nov 19). On the week view it is shown both Nov 18 and Nov 19.


All times are GMT. The time now is 00:26.
