synce-opensync-plugin not detected (libopensync-plugin-python installed)

[Kevin Rotz]

Hi all,

I'm running Arch Linux and KDEMod3 and am trying to get SynCE working with Kitchensync and my WM6 device. My distro has a very messy collection of Opensync/SynCE but using the Arch build system I've been able to compile and install the following packages (this info is straight from pacman -Qs):

libopensync 0.22-2
libopensync-plugin-kdepim 0.22-1
libopensync-plugin-python 0.22-1
libopensync-plugin-synce 0.22-1
msynctool 0.22-1
libopensync-plugin-synce 0.22-1
librtfcomp 1.1-3
sync-engine 0.13-1
synce-hal 0.13.1-1
synce-kde 0.13-1
synce-libmimedir 0.4-2
synce-librapi 0.13-1
synce-libsynce 0.13-1
synce-odccm 0.13-1
synce-rra 0.13-1

The Opensync 0.13 and SynCE 0.22 packages are either a) directly from my distro's repositories or b) compiled from tarballs from the developer pages and installed using pacman. I've also installed msynctool to speed things up a bit instead of starting/restarting Kitchensync constantly while fiddling around. I understand that synce-opensync-plugin requires python and libopensync-plugin-python to be installed, both of which are. However, when I run msynctool --listplugins I get the following:

Available plugins:
kdepim-sync
synce-plugin
testmodule

and so libopensync-plugin-pthon is not detected. Removing the package libopensync-plugin-python removes 'testmodule' from this list, so I have reason to believe that the python plugin is indeed being recognized by Opensync. Just to verify that all of the files required, the following files are inside /usr/lib/opensync:

./formats
./formats/xml-vnote.so
./formats/data.so
./formats/contact.so
./formats/xmldoc.so
./formats/note.so
./formats/file.so
./formats/xml-kde.so
./formats/xml-evolution.so
./formats/todo.so
./formats/xml-vcal.so
./formats/event.so
./formats/xml-vcard.so
./python-plugins
./python-plugins/synce-

opensync-plugin-2x.py
./plugins
./plugins/kdepim_sync.so
./plugins/kdepim_lib.so
./plugins/python_module.la
./plugins/synce_plugin.so
./plugins/synce_plugin.la
./plugins/python_module.so

Opensync/Kitchensync seems to be working fine with libopensync-plugin-kdepim, so I don't think it's an issue with Opensync. I've even made synce-opensync-plugin-2x.py executable but haven't had any luck. Any tips or ideas for things that I'm missing? Thanks for your help.

Where is testmodule located ? It's possible that synce-opensync-plugin
needs to go somewhere else, and that would be your guide.

Indeed, that was it. I grep'ed for 'testmodule' and found it in /usr/share/lib/opensync. Now I'm having an issue with the script itself, documented at https://www.opensync.org/ticket/1131 , but the fix indicated there doesn't seem to work since I can't get things synced with KAddressbook, even after recompiling opensync.py. It seems to be an issue with opensync now, so I think I'll try their mailing list.

Thanks for your help Mark :)
