GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
OK, I've searched the forums and I find bits and pieces of the puzzle, but I still can't figure out what all I need to make this work. Can someone who has this working under OS2008 please post the steps?
Thanks, -Scurrie |

Re: GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
There you go, easy as 1-2-3
4-5-6-7-8-9 ..... 112-113-114.... (as usual!) But at least there's some fairly explicit instructions and some illustrations, thanks Tahitibob :) |
Re: GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
Erminig is fine, but the new GPE calendar appears to do some Google sync by itself. Now... Just try and find some documentation for the current GPE calendar.

Re: GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
I have used it for a short time... it was a desaster: appointments were duplicated or lost... I have uninstalled it. Therefore you should backup your calendar before syncing it.

I have just synched the Calendar information on the N800 with Google and it went a dream. Quote:
If you want to copy the files manually they are located in root/home/user/.gpe I understand that in Linux a folder name preceded by a dot denotes that the folder is hidden. So far I am unable to find a File Manager for the N800 that can display hidden folders. Any suggestions please? |
Re: GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
Not sure you can get to hidden folders with the graphical file managers, but Midnight Commander (mc) on the terminal interface will do it. I suspect that when we get to discussions of hidden folders under Linux, we're talking about command line stuff. Being a *nix sysadmin, this never occurred to me. I would just jump in the terminal app, and do what I want directly.
Note: Under OS2008's repositories, I do not see Midnight Commander. I did install it from a repository last time, so it's entirely possible you can go to Maemo's Web pages, and the OS2007 version will install, and work. |

There are 2 current threads on the subject of File managers http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13177 http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13160 I had hopes that emilFM2 would do this but it has eluded me so far. Canoe is another possibility but that too seems to have fallen by the wayside with the arrival of Os2008. Presently I use Backup/Restore to SD and then extract the files from the SD card in Vista. Note to self: Learn Linux command line. |
Re: GPE calendar sync to Google calendar
Here is the Maemo page of Graham Cobb. He recompiles the GPE stuff for Maemo, and it's his repository we use. Of interest on this page are the two backup scripts under the Open Sync section that back up the GPE stuff to a cell phone using Bluetooth.
I'm going to ask Graham if he knows where the updated docs are for the calendar. |

IMO this is one of the most useful applications I have on my N810! Maemopicasa is another great app by TahitiBob; it loads photos from the N8x0 to my web albums and now, with usb host capabilities, I can even load them up web directly from the camera! TahitiBob is the mage! |
