Osmo personal organizer
 

Came across Osmo recently. Anyone want to try compiling for maemo?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

It seems to work fine after a quick recompile, I'll upload it later once I get a chance to build a proper package.

Unless someone else beats me to it (please, feel free) :)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Greeings Dblank:

Can you let us know when you have built the package.

I already clicked your Thanks button many times.

Regards Robert

First install libical, then osmo.
http://maemobox.org/dblank/libical_0.27-1_armel.deb
http://maemobox.org/dblank/osmo_0.1.6-1_armel.deb

Edit: now with iCal support.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

(i) Unable to install osmo.
Incompatible application package.
[Ok]

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Anything under Tools -> Log?

I don't care much for the application manager, so I always install with "dpkg -i file.deb" from the command line.

Maybe try installing with dpkg if you can't get any more info out of the application manager.

(install becomeroot, then type sudo gainroot, and finally dpkg -i file.deb)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Installed it via dpkg with no problem, thanks!

Did notice that (in trying to exit) clicking on the icon in the ?task bar? that the stuff in the left column disappears (menu stuff). Pretty much anything brings it back though.

Finally was able to exit by sshing in a killing the process. Gonna have to check this out in detail.

Much to learn here :-)!

Thanks *very* much for your efforts!

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Yeah I noticed that too, personally I'd just disable the system tray, but it's probably necessary for alerts, etc.

You can disable it by setting "enable_systray" to 0 instead of 1
in /home/user/.osmo/config.xml

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

dblank: the problem will be that the package's Section in debian/control doesn't have a prefix of "user/". See here for more information:

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

The program binary itself creates ~/.osmo/* files.

Edit: oh, is that why the application manager is failing? I thought this comment was about the config.xml at first.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

No, sorry. My fault for not being clear!

As you guessed, it's referring to the same thing you respond to here

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Hi, I have trouble downloading the deb file. Is the link dead?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

You've already lost me - I know next to nothing about Linux and dpkg - isn't it possible to provide a calendar that runs straight out of the box. There's a ton of stuff here that is techno-talk, but not everyone is familiar with the lingo.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

just hit the link given by dblank and then yes.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

The link is working again and I've installed osmo. I wonder though how do I get ical support working?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

In osmo's site says that this is an optional dependency. I'm assuming dblank has not compiled it..

Btw, reading again in osmo's site and in the todo section: '# Maemo platform support'. We should sent them a few mails ;)

EDIT: the mails
pasp (at) users.sourceforge.net
silloz (at) users.sourceforge.net

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Wow! That's the best IT PIM I've seen yet. There's few bugs, liike the blanks in the full year calendar showing as 255, but generally it's fast and seems to have the right features.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Yeah, I'll try compiling with libical sometime soon, and of course post it if I succeed :)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

What about syncing with other apps? I'm forced to use the evil LookOut... er... OutLook at work. Will it sync with that somehow?

Tim

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Sync, no. Import, yes. It seems to import .csv files, which Lookout will export. If you want sync, you need something other than a Nokia tablet.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Just being able to import CVS contacts and cal' would be great ... can you do that now ??

Like it so far though - just needs a bit more optimisation for the 800 x 480 screen, and the ability to go full screen

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

You mean optimization for the 400x240 screen, right?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

If you read above, ical import is not yet ready. Dblank is working on it.

Though, the contacts can be imported just fine using a csv file.

Go to contacts panel and hit the button with the arrow looking towards the buddy icon. It will then pop a file import manager.

I've tested it with a few hundred of contacts exported from outlook and worked great.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

well, if it could do syncml sync between my N800 and my phone, i would be happy ;)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

The UI isn't the best I've ever seen. You can't see much on it, and if your contact has no personal name, just a company, you can't even see any contact information on the main screen. I got my contacts imported ok via .csv, but it's not looking like something I'll keep. GPE, as primitive as it is, seems much better than Osmo.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Can you set calendar-based alarms, appointment reminders?
If so, do they work if Osmo's not running?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

So I loaded it.
Am I missing something?
How do you set up an event on the calendar?
I just see two lines of a scrolling note pad. Is that it?
What's it going to do with ical data?
There's no place for it to go.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Is this link down? Is it anywhere else?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

It says on the frontpage that calendar is "note per day" so I guess you have one note to write down everything that happens that day. I suppose that ical import just writes the events to the note of the day with timestamp included.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

That server seems to be down more than it is up. Maybe it should be hosted somewhere else.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

That looks like his home computer. That sure explains the sinusoidal nature of its availability :)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

It should be okay now, I had forgotten to switch from DHCP to a static ip, so the ip changed after the lease expired and ports were forwarding to the old ip, oops! :)

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

I've compiled against libical.

Grab libical and osmo from the links in post #4

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Thank you, thank you..

It imported my ical file with ~800 appointments in a second.

* Go to options panel, browse for the file, give a name, press the plus.. that's it. done!

* To see them, in the same panel activate/tick 'show notes'.

* In the 'full year view' notice the button in the top called 'browse ical events'. That's one more way to see the events.

Now, back to testing!

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

I only have 127 events. Only 1 per day shows, and no repeating events. How did you get all of them to show up? And just what are the two check boxes in the Options - iCalendar files section for? Okay, I know the first one shows you the detail of the event, but what's the second one for?

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Excellent, glad to hear it works :)

I didn't even notice the scroll bar in options at first, heh.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Yes that's right. One event max per day and no repeating birthdays and such.

For the two check boxes from the settings I see:
<description>1</description>
<use_year>1</use_year>
so what the 'use_year' might be?

One more thing is that on the description it doesn't decode the /n as a new line..

Nobody said it was perfect.. Most of them might be 'problems' of the original code and not the port. We could pop those questions to the osmo site. I'll do that tomorrow if I find some time.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

what do i type in on the options tab to get it to open browser links and to use modest to compose emails? and is there any way to make it full screen?

one thing as far as interface goes that would be great if you could change , is in contacts , have the list and details side by side , like in GPE instead of on top of each other.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

This is great -- I hope it is registered somewhere like Maemo so others can find it. I just saw this thru random browsing.

Re: Osmo personal organizer
 

Would it be possible to recompile with the latest version?
