I forgot to do a reply-to-all..... here is my previous email to Dennis... I had this problem too and after a few days of perseverance and googling I got it working.
Are you using the opensync packages from feisty or have you compiled opensync from source? The feisty (& gutsy for that matter) use V0.19, you need to use a newer version. I downloaded the source from the opensync download pages, remeber to download the plugins you need too. http://www.opensync.org/wiki/download There is a python plugin to install also. This gives you the /usr/local/lib/opensync/python-plugins (I think) directory, symlink your synce python file to this directory and it should work. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/svn/sync-engine/tools$ls -l /usr/local/lib/opensync/python-plugins/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1100 2007-09-21 10:08 sample.py lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2007-09-21 15:13 synce.py -> /home/craig/svn/sync-engine/opensync-plugin.py [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/svn/sync-engine/tools$msynctool --listplugins Available plugins: synce-plugin testmodule google-calendar kdepim-sync I downloaded the 0.22 msynctool too so I would probably use that. Hope you have better luck. -Craig.
