segfault in synce_plugin.so

[Alex Buell]

Ever since my system got upgraded, SynCE has broken (again!). I am not
able to sync information to my PDA from Evolution.

I suspect there may be a problem with libopensync-plugin-synce, having
just spent yesterday and this morning trying to resolve the problem.

The following set of packages are installed:

synce-libsynce 0.15.1
synce-gvfs 0.4
synce-hal 0.15
synce-rapi2-0.15.2
synce-rra 0.14
synce-rtfcomp 0.1.1
synce-serial 0.11
synce-sync-engine 0.15.1
synce-trayicon 0.15

libopensync 0.22
libopensync-plugin-evolution2 0.22 (which happens to work just fine)
libopensync-plugin-python 0.22
libopensync-plugin-synce 0.22 (which segfaults)

With msynctool, it appears to get the information it needs from
Evolution (via evo2-sync), and then tries to feed it to my PDA and fails
withh a "broken pipe' error (via synce-plugin). Presumably because the
plugin crashes with a segfault, hence the broken pipe error.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Both synce-kpm 0.15 and synce-trayicon
appears to access the PDA's details just fine, it's just syncing via the
synce-plugin that fails.

Thanks for you time, much appreciated.

Actually, that's libopensync-plugin-synce-rra 0.22.1, sorry for the mix
up. I am desperate to get that segfault resolved. :(

No idea unless you provide command output, logs, device version etc.

I believe this is a Windows Mobile 5 or later device, so your using the
wrong plugin.

Yes, which plugin should I be using? I'm using
libopensync-plugin-sync-rra and libopensync-plugin-synce over SynCE to
bridge between my PDA and Evolution.

-rra is for pre WM5 only, use the other one.

libopensync-plugin-synce-rra-0.22.1.tar.gz does build OK but is unusable
due to the segfault and as you say, won't work with my PDA (WM6 classic)

Is there anything else I can do?

Ah, no.

The plugin originally supplied by opensync, 0.22, and now updated on the
synce site, 0.22.1, is for pre WM5 devices.

The plugin supplied with synce-sync-engine, now 0.15 or 0.15.1, is for
WM5 and later.

Are there no packages for your distro ?

Actually I've had to make my own packages. I'm happy to report that
SynCE is now working again for me.

The problem was putting the plugin into the right place
(python-plugins), once that happened, syncs started working again.

Thanks, and at least I've understood how it all works now.

I, of course, meant libopensync-plugin-sync-rra and
libopensync-plugin-evolution2.
