Description Daniel Stone 2001-12-13 09:59:57 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)



Package: kpilot
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

------
This bug is forwarded from the Debian BTS as it was filed on
a Debian package.
The original bug report can be seen at http://bugs.debian.org/123634.
As far as I know it is not a duplicate of any existing bug.
If it is I will pick this up and merge within the next 12 hours;
Otherwise please merge yourself.
Thankyou Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net> the "other"
Debian KDE maintainer.
------

When syncronizing the korganiser file with kpilot I get the following error
message:

The vcal conduit could not open the file 
&quot;/home/florian/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/florian.ics&quot;. Please setup the 
conduit with the correct filename and try again.

But the file exists. After this error message it isn't usable for korganizer 
either.

Subject: Bug#123634: kpilot: No "--debug" option to kpilotDaemon
From: "L. Vogtmann" <vmann@vmann.net>

Package: kpilot
Version: 4:2.2.2-3

I'm having the same problem with the korganizer conduit.
I tried the above mentioned "--debug 1023" option non-existant.
I did however get it to spew some useful information with "--nofork"
(only once though can't reproduce reliably)
"it seems a conduit has crashed"

When the conduit does complete and sync appears to work correctly both the
korganizer file and palm datebook database are wiped clean (even with the
checkbox marked for "prompt before changing data.")  That checkbox is also
then cleared.  (I'm not sure about this maybe my head playing tricks on me?)

Also not sure how relevant it is but the *.icl.bak file is completely
emptied on each run.  Crash or not.

Again; looks like it's in the repeat-event handling.

Package: kpilot
Version: 4:2.2.2-3

Answer found in the korganizer manual.  Shut down korganizer (including the
alarm daemon)!  This solved it for me.  Maybe that should be more prominent in
the kpilot documentation as well.  (Or shutdown korganizer and the alarm daemon
as part of the conduit if that is possible.)

Package: kpilot
Version: 4:2.2.2-3

OK after trying some more same bug.  Think it's in the repeat event handling.
Here's a blank ical file to start with:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID
 :-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML KOrganizer 2.2.1//EN
VERSION
 :2.0
END:VCALENDAR

Next add a wake-up event for every weekday with korganizer:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID
 :-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML KOrganizer 2.2.1//EN
VERSION
 :2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT

RRULE
 :FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MOTUWETHFR
DTEND
 :20011217T060000
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Now we sync with kpilot. Sync goes fine but the event shows up in Datebook as
Sunday through Thursday!

Now I start over deleting event on palm and reverting to original korganizer
file.

And now add the same event from the palm Datebook app.
Sync this dialog appears.

ToDo Conduit Fatal Error
The ToDo Conduit could not open the file `/home/vmann/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/vmann.ics'. Please configure the conduit with the correct filename and try again.

Comment 3 Klaus Ramst 2002-04-21 18:45:16 UTC
I suffered from the same bug. I was able to recover my icsfile by removing the
UNTIL in RRULE (see also mail by L. Vogtmann):

BAD:
>RRULE
> :FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=29350930228T000000;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MOTUWETHFR
GOOD:
<RRULE
<:FREQ=WEEKLY;NTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MOTUWETHFR

I suggest that the parser tells where he chokes.

KPilot now uses the same library (libkcal) as KOrganizer for manipulating
the ical files; in addition it now checks to make sure that KOrganizer
isn't running when the conduit does a sync.
