Hello,
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and to SyncEvolution 1.1 and I am
running into a problem.
As an FYI, I have been running SyncEvolution successfully for the past
couple of years starting with Ubuntu 8.04 without any problems.
I don't know if it was the Ubuntu upgrade or the SyncEvolution upgrade
that is causing the problem. I have a syncevolution server configuration
named "funambol" which is located at: ~/.config/syncevolution/funambol.
When I attempt to sync using the command "syncevolution funambol" then
I get the following error message:
[ERROR] No configuration for server "funambol" found.
[ERROR] cannot proceed without configuration
Also, when I run the command "syncevolution --print-servers" then my
funambol server is not listed.
That's a regression. You are using an old-style config, which was meant
to be usable, but some change broke that.
However, I do indeed have the same funambol server configured that I
have always had at:~/.config/syncevolution/funambol.
I subsequently noticed that a new empty directory had appeared in my
funambol server's directory named "peers" at
~/.config/syncevolution/funambol/peers. I found that if I delete the
"peers" directory then syncevolution finds my funambol server and
"syncevolution funambol" runs perfectly except it subsequently creates
the "peers" directory again each time that I run "syncevolution
funambol" so it will not run successfully thereafter without deleting
the "peers" directory again and again. Weird...
If it is found, the config is no longer recognized. This was necessary
to distinguish between old-style peer config and new-style context
config. The "peers" directory shouldn't be created. That's the root
cause of the problem.
Here's how you can recover from this while I prepare an update:
* remove the peers directory once more
* run "syncevolution --migrate funambol"
This will renamed ".config/syncevolution/funambol" to
".config/syncevolution/funambol.old" (which can be removed later) and
the new-style config in ".config/syncevolution/default/peers/funambol".
Then just use it as before.
