I am a Ubuntu Karmic barry user using Martin Owens sources ii libbarry0 0.16-2009111858-0git1
My sync script is: #!/bin/sh evolution --force-shutdown msynctool --sync EvoBarry --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype todo Things have been smooth for a while, so I only backup monthlyish now. Yesterday I started a slow migration of all my historical contact legacy DBs (old PSTs, csvs, etc) into my current Evolution/Barry/Curve framework. After the first set, with hours of supervised manual merging in Evolution, I attempted a sync via barry, resulting in what I believe to be about 600 new or modified contacts. (see attached sync.txt for console output) The sync pauses/timeouts writing to the Blackberry, with the last line of output (a larger then average contact, but not largest) Sent an entry pas-id-4B0D658B0000002D of size 2564 to member 2 (barry-sync). Changetype ADDED The result is no error on console, but the process just sits there.. an immediate boost in CPU and continued memory consumption is noted, with osplugin consuming 100%+ of one CPU core and growing in memory use. I have no choice but to CTRL-C 30 minutes later..or a day later Left with a potential slow-sync (which is no good), I start my usual recovery process. I purge my contacts DB on my Blackberry by restoring an old backup with one contact. I then reconfigure barry so it will not do the slow-sync. Then I execute my sync script, and usually add the --conflict 1 to ensure that I do not get any duplicate calendar events (which seems to happen whenever I do this without the conflict option the first time). Unfortunately the same thing happens, and now *everytime* I execute this procedure, my sync stops on the same contact everytime. Sent an entry pas-id-4AD74E96000005B7 of size 269 to member 2 (barry-sync). Changetype ADDED Two steps I need some help with, Step 1, I'd like to experiment with removing this contact, and continuing.. but I am not sure how to find out which contact it is. For now I am going to go have a look in .evolution with a text editor... Step 2, whats the preferred method for additional verbose debugging to support further dialogue and/or a change/patch to deal with this issue. cheers, Ian Feature Note: barrybackup should have a purge Addressbook feature, as it doesn't save the address book on backup if there are no contacts, so there is no easy way to restore an empty addressboook if you create a backup after a fresh Blackberry firmware update (which I had). The method I have to use is to create, and have ready for restore, a backup with only one entry, and then go and delete it on the Blackberry itself to get to this empty address book stage. I created mine, by restoring an old, full addressbook, and right after seeing the "Erasing database: Address Book" on my console, hitting CTRL-C; Eventually Blackberry reset on its own, and I had my nice empty address book. I created one entry, and immediately created a backup that I can now restore easily. Because of slow-sync issues, I expect creating an empty addressbook target may be a need of many users trying to use Barry and have their authoritative contact store not on the Blackberry. Other people that are like me may benefit from knowing that for this reason it is good to duplicate PINs as Pin:XXXXXXX in contact notes. The Berrys automatically highlights these to make them easy to PIN directly from the notes field and/or copy back to the PIN field after a resync process similar to the one I perform when I stumble into issues like the one described above. Karmic/Ubuntu Barry Note: I discovered this today when confirming I had the lastest debs, http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/barry-snapshot/ubuntu karmic main I have Martin Owens PPA apt source shown above, but even though I can browse the packages online, the latest ones do not seem to be auto-updating by update manager, or on command line via apt-get upgrade. The reason is that at some point the package name was missing a hyphen, and apt thinks my old version is newer than the current version as a result (see apt-cache output below). ii opensync-plugin-barry 0.162009102716-0git1 If you see the version above (or any other with no hyphen between the 0.16-2009), apt-get upgrade DOES NOT upgrade your packages to the current version below. https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/barry-snapshot/+build/1352037 To fix this problem, you have to do the following override: apt-get install barry-util/karmic barry-util-dbg/karmic barrybackup-gui/karmic barrybackup-gui-dbg/karmic libbarry-dev/karmic libbarry0/karmic opensync-plugin-barry/karmic You will be fine from this point forwards for upgrading, Before Upgrade you can see that apt is aware of the newer version, but is choosing not to install it as show below. Also the results of the override, showing that apt thinks it is DOWNGRADING.. but really it is UPGRADING. r...@laptop:~# apt-cache showpkg barry-util Package: barry-util Versions: 0.162009102716-0git1 (/var/lib/dpkg/status) Description Language: File: /var/lib/dpkg/status MD5: 6523d9b7143593df52ae2d805bf69e25 0.16-2009111858-0git1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_doctormo_barry-snapshot_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-amd64_Packages) Description Language: File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_doctormo_barry-snapshot_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-amd64_Packages MD5: 6523d9b7143593df52ae2d805bf69e25 0.14-2.1ubuntu1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntu.mirror.rafal.ca_ubuntu_dists_karmic_universe_binary-amd64_Packages) Description Language: File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntu.mirror.rafal.ca_ubuntu_dists_karmic_universe_binary-amd64_Packages MD5: 6523d9b7143593df52ae2d805bf69e25 Reverse Depends: barry-util-dbg,barry-util 0.162009102716-0git1 barry-util-dbg,barry-util 0.16-2009111858-0git1 barry-util-dbg,barry-util 0.14-2.1ubuntu1 Dependencies: 0.162009102716-0git1 - udev (2 0.056) libbarry0 (0 (null)) libboost-serialization1.34.1 (2 1.34.1-8) libc6 (2 2.4) libfuse2 (2 2.6) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.2.1) libusb-0.1-4 (2 2:0.1.12) zlib1g (2 1:1.1.4) ppp (0 (null)) 0.16-2009111858-0git1 - udev (2 0.056) libbarry0 (0 (null)) libboost-serialization1.38.0 (2 1.38.0-1) libc6 (2 2.4) libfuse2 (2 2.6) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.4.0) libusb-0.1-4 (2 2:0.1.12) ppp (0 (null)) 0.14-2.1ubuntu1 - udev (2 136-1) libbarry0 (0 (null)) libboost-serialization1.38.0 (2 1.38.0-1) libc6 (2 2.4) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.4.0) libusb-0.1-4 (2 2:0.1.12) ppp (0 (null)) Provides: 0.162009102716-0git1 - 0.16-2009111858-0git1 - 0.14-2.1ubuntu1 - Reverse Provides: r...@laptop:~# r...@laptop:~# apt-get install barry-util/karmic barry-util-dbg/karmic barrybackup-gui/karmic barrybackup-gui-dbg/karmic libbarry-dev/karmic libbarry0/karmic opensync-plugin-barry/karmic Reading package lists...
