after update: broken pipe

[Achim Zirner]

hi list,

Ubuntu (running 10.10) offered updates for synce-files today. After
installing, I got:

...
member 2 (evo2-sync). Changetype ADDED
Member 2 of type evo2-sync had an error while getting changes: Broken
Pipe
Member 2 of type evo2-sync had an error while disconnecting: Broken Pipe
All clients have disconnected
The sync failed: Unable to read from one of the members
DEBUG:SynCE:finalize() called
All conflicts have been reported
Error while synchronizing: Unable to read from one of the members

....

anyone have the same problem? Do I have to reapply the patch?

cheers,

achim

It's not a synce problem, it's an evo2-sync problem.

As far as I can tell, this could be two things.

The source for address book in evo2-sync is most often set to "default",
which doesn't always work anymore. You can try changing this to the full
path to your address book eg.

file:///home/mark/.evolution/addressbook/local/system

Beware though this will cause a complete resync of your address book,
best to do it with a new partnership, new sync group, and blank device.

The other possibility is a calendar entry that evo2-sync tries to
convert and fails poorly. I had a few of these, ended up patching
evo2-sync to print out everything it was sending so I could see where it
failed. There might be a better way, but I don't know what it is.

file:///home/mark/.evolution/addressbook/local/system

I assume this path has to exist on the filesystem? I'm using evolution
2.32.2, and although syncing "used to work" with this version now I get
"broken pipe". My last fix was to remove the default address book and
calendar and re-create them, but that hasn't worked this time.

The path for evo 2.32.2 seems to be something like
file:///home/iain/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system which
contains three files:
addressbook.db addressbook.db.summary synce-sync.changes.db

Is that the same for you?

Doing this I get a complete resync (which is fine, I can fix that later)
but I'm still getting a broken pipe. msynctool output:

and much more, but that's the important broken pipe bit!

are you able to supply that patch by any chance? It might help me find
the problemo!

thanks,
