Try making sure that Kontact is closed down completely, </blockquote><div><br><i>"Killing" it via the control-esc system activity monitor works perfectly well.</i><br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
then right-click on<br>
std.vcf there and Open With korganizer. That should tell you whether you have<br>
a) a viable file and b) one that has your old entries in.<br></blockquote><div><br><i>Yes, yes, yes! B</i>y <i>opening in my case "std.ics" with K-Organiser, I manage to recover all old calendar data (to-do's, events, journals) as well as to "merge" them with any other "new" calendar. A big, big relief!</i> I<i> have immediately made calendar back-ups in two formats: .ics and .vcs.</i><br>
<br><i>Now, the next question is: is it possible to effectively "upload" all the calendar data to "Google calendar" by means of "synchronisation"? Or to sync it with any other online calendar backup service - via Akonadi "DAV" group ware, Funambol or whatever? I need some online possibility with which I can effectively sync both: <br>
</i><ul><li><i>my laptop (Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.5.1, KOrganiser) and ...</i></li><li><i>smartphone, a Nokia N900 with the Linux distro "Maemo". </i></li></ul>I do manage to sync the address books at the phone and laptop via not very open sourced "Mail for exchange" at the smartphone, the package "akonadi-googledata" in combination with KOrganiser at the laptop. and the GMAIL address book as online intermediary. But calendar synchronisation seems to be a tougher issue. So far, I have been trying two methods to sync both machines via Google as intermediary online station:<br>
<ul><li>via "akonadi-kde-resource-googledata", cf. <a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25211">http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25211</a></li><li>via "DAV" groupware, cf. amongst others <a href="http://davmail.sourceforge.net/">http://davmail.sourceforge.net/</a> and <a href="http://alin.elenaworld.net/?p=697">http://alin.elenaworld.net/?p=697</a></li>
</ul>But every attempt ends up so far in a (apparent?) failure to upload my calendar to Google. <br>Any clue?<br>Respectfully yours,<br>Bas.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div><div><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
