Hi All, I am a new user and I wish that I had found this software earlier. When using the Blackberry software, one needs to set-up outlook express which a tad difficult on a Xubuntu system i.e. need a windows system.
I realise that the sources have not been updated for 2 years and that the mailing list is little used, but here's hoping. Also my apologies for the long email but I thought that it is best to give all the information at the beginning. Systems are Xubuntu 12.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 i.e. LTS versions Blackberry Touch I attempted to install using the Xubuntu 14.04 first, installation using synaptic. The installation seemed OK. But tried to run Barry Desktop Panel, an error message appears:- No OpenSync libraries were found. Sync will be unavailable until you install OpenSync version 0.22 or version 0.4x on your system, along with the needed plugins. Searched and found the home page. Read the notes on installation on Ubuntu, but then found you seem to be only supported up to 12.04 (see another note later). I found that Ubuntu say that Barry is supported in Trusty i.e. 14.04?? Tried to install on another PC running 12.04 by updating the repositories file to include deb http://download.barry.netdirect.ca/barry-latest/ubuntu1204 After updated was informed by the update manager that there were new packages for installation. Great !! Downloaded but could not download all. There was an error message about the header being too long.

Ran the Barry desktop same error message No OpenSync libraries were found. Sync will be unavailable until you install OpenSync version 0.22 or version 0.4x on your system, along with the needed plugins. Read your notes more carefully and downloaded manually all of the files in the soundforge directory. So followed the information in the workaround noting that you stated all deb files. Downloaded from ubuntu1204/dists/i386 and transferred to var/cache/apt. What a pain could download all in one go!! root@escau-desktop:/home/escau# apt-get install opensync* Reading package lists...
