GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

A couple of weeks ago I successfully configured GPE calendar to synch with my Google calendar by adding the ical address into the GPE config on my N800. . . it worked just fine. .

Now, suddenly, I get an unable to resolve hostname error!

Anybody else have the same issue or know how to resolve it??

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Is there single-click install for Erminig? At all?

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Yep. Check the software section.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Thanks for the tip but I can't find the install file. There must be good reason for this. It would be nice to have that simple click and install file for Erminig. Maybe it's not meant to be easy to install, who knows.

Mine works from just can not post to google calendar.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

I installed GPE from http://cobb.uk.net/NokiaIT/index.html#gpe (everything except starling and in the order listed there)
Then installed python 2.5 (make sure the application manager is closed) : http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/installation.html
and then Erminig ; http://david.hautbois.free.fr/joomla...d=46&Itemid=46

works 100% for me

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Everything installed OK
Once you lauch Erminig, set google parameter and which GPE calendar you want to sync it with. I click update and then..... and then....
After a while try to close Erminig, "Erminig doesn't respond, do you want to close?"
retried 3-4 time always the same except the last time I did let it go for more than an hour and at the end it was still not responding but I saw some synching between GPE and Google but it was full of double entries.

Something I'm doing wrong?
As I write this I'm not finish with reading the "debug .TXT" and I don't know what I'm looking for either... :confused:

For those who use Erminig and it works fine do you let run in backgroud always? Does it respond if you want to close it?
In GPE do you set the calendar to : publish, subscribe or local
to use with Erminig?

Thank you

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Can't help you with your problem (no idea). But I just load Erminig and click update when I have some Google Events to update.

In GPE I just left the default calendar (local), then in Erminig you can pick the GPE calendar you want to use, and then it'll load the google events in there, and read from there for what events to add to google calendar.

nicfortin :
"Erminig doesn't respond, do you want to close?"

Don't close !
Erminig is surely downloading a big Google calendar.
Erminig freezes during this step.

You can limit the limit date when adding a profile. So, there will be fewer events to download.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Thank you, I did more test late last night and this morning and everything seems to work correctly now. One thing I didn't realize before this morning: I can't update(sync) while Calendar is not loaded otherwize it kinda freeze and is not responding.
But if I load Calendar the update is quite fast and everything is OK.
I did limit the download to Jan 1st so it didn't have to much to download.

Great tool.
Merci beaucoup pour ce petit bijou! Serait-il possible de synchroniser les alarmes? ;) Merci.

Pas de synchro des alarmes,
Il ne devrait plus y avoir d'évolution sur cette appli.

Désolé.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Hi Guys,

Just tried installing erminig. Installed ok, but after starting up once, it is failing to launch now.

I think it may have something to do with my entering in something incorrectly on the config perhaps. Getting some sort of error from command line launch after it finds a couple of bits from google.

Before I start pasting things from the command line output for debugging etc. anyone able to point me to some config files I can delete to make it start like the first time ?

I tried uninstall, reinstall but that did not work, so I am guessing the config files are not deleted...

Thanks,

zuber

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

While I am glad to see that Ermining works for most people it does not for me, and I have given the author my report and sent him my events file so that he could correct a re-occurring events issue. So, until that is fixed, Ermining is not a solution for me.

With that said, I have used the GPE builtin sync function without fail (and yes it does my re-occurring events perfectly) until yesterday. With out any additional changes to my N800 (ie no software upgrades), the sync suddenly stopped working with the "can not resolve hostname" that the original poster of this thread had problems with. I would like to know if anyone has solved that specific problem without resorting to using Ermining? I have modified that sync options with the ICAL entry from Google several times and continue to get the same issue. And yes, the network connection is up (I did a copy and paste from the ICAL entry from the Google web page on the tablet). If this is a GPE calendar bug, I can open a ticket, but was wondering if there is something configuration-wise that can be changed that might make this work again.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

As a side note, Erminig was working for me, too with no problems, and just recently it has started to not perform correctly. Have not had to much time to hunt down the issue.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

I had this exact problem yesterday. I found out that I had started the GPE calendar application before going online. So, I turned off the Nokia, turned it back on, went online, and THEN started the calendar application. Worked great then.

Re: GPE / Google Calendar Synching
 

Bingo, that was it. I leave calendar running and that must have been it. I didn't reboot the device, but shutdown calendar, then started up the network connection, then brought up the calendar and sure enough it went through the sync. THANKS!

Now, if there was some indication (ie, progress bar, rotating dot, something) that it was in the process of syncing, then I think it would be complete...(for me)...
