Software Configuration

• Ubuntu (8.10)

  sudo apt-get install opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-file opensync-plugin-syncml \
                       opensyncutils multisync-tools multisync0.90 libsyncml-utils
  

• To add another plugin eg google-calendar:

  sudo apt-get install opensync-plugin-google-calendar
  

Bluetooth Settings

To synchronize a device with a software, you need at least 2 plugins. In this case I have chosen to synchronize my n80 with evolution, run multisync0.90 to add this profile

multisync0.90

Device

• click on Add
• type the name of profile evo2n80

• you can also test obex connection with this command

  syncml-obex-client -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 10 --slow-sync text/x-vcard Contacts --wbxml \
