I dont think so, my script is merely a setup helper for the existing backend ! I think they are refering to lionel s work on the new contact backend ! Take a look at last ut q&a video where he showcased it, it looks awesome !

@Labarna hi i had exactly the same problem with my fp4 with bouygues (french carreer), solved it by removing the apn field and left it empty (third field in ut apn settings after utility, name)
Weird but works for me !

Ugly but usable and cross-platform tkinter UI coming together for desktop !

@Rustic
no you should just be able to run this command (didn't test it though) :

syncevolution --sync two-way $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME

replace the $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME by the name you gave to your db, try it, if it works you can put this command in a desktop file (to have an icon to sync manually in your ut launcher) or a systemd timer to auto sync ! (you can take a look at what does my script for these)
line 131 to 140 for the desktop file and line 148 to 183 for the systemd timer/service files

@Rustic don't have a lot of time for now, but you could try to use this script :
https://gist.github.com/vanyasem/379095d25ac350676fc70c42efe17c8c
after removing all contact related lines, and cron related (no more cron on focal)

If this works for you tell me, i could try to include it in the script (with the auto sync and sync button features) no garanty i'll have time though, sorry !

if you make it work, something like this should launch the sync :

syncevolution --sync two-way $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME

with $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME being the input you set in the script
tell me if it works for you !

Oh and radicale calendar, if caldav, should work natively, so you can also fill a bugreport for this if you have time

@Rustic
nice that it worked at least, don't hesitate to report the command output if it fails again
and concerning the calendar, i didn't implement it because it works out of the box (for me at least) with UT account system

@wally
Hi sorry for the video, my peertube instance seems to be off these days, i changed the link, it should work fine now !

Concerning the size limit, it is a user config settings, if you set it to 0, there is virtually no limit The setting is per receiver unit, you can have your computer receive only small files, and your phone every files, no matter the size. My question was more about the way the size limit is handled (limits a folder or a file, not every file in a folder)

Cancel a transfer in progress will be hard i think, but that is a good idea to keep in mind !

Thanks for the appreciation words

I also tested some command exec through the same system, an example in this little video : sms sending
https://makertube.net/w/wQxDonmEU6Y9d5dLc7UP3E

Still a lot to think about this but i was picturing some kind of command preset, could be neat, created by user, with some custom fields !
I don't want to dig too deep in getting contacts from the phone, i'm afraid of a rabbit hole... but sending sms could be nice...
If you have any idea don't hesitate !

Got the folders to work, less difficulties than expected ! And i got to say, being able to just copy an entire folder (like the Picture folder) from my phone, and seeing them appeared magically on my desktop is a good feeling

It has its drawbacks (copying a huge folder by error) so i implemented a size limit to prevent that.

The size limit acts on all "individual entries" : if you select a folder, it should not exceed this size limit to be copied, but you can enter it, and select files one by one to copy them.
Example :

Folder (4mo)
--- Image1 (2mo)
--- Image2 (2mo)

With a 3 mo limit, i can't copy the folder directly, but i can "multi select" through the file explorer the two images to copy them

What do you think about this ?

@wally thanks for the kind words !
For now it is not usable because it is not a proper app ^^ just two daemon scripts launched manually !
I'll be polishing them before turning them into proper app (hard part for me, don't know qml yet, and pretty noob with tkinter or other UI libs...)
Yep i'm looking into the folder copying, there are a few difficulties about that, but looking good
Also looking on notifications for now, i'll keep posting in this thread the advancements, if anyone interested.
Cheers !

@UBportsNews
First of all, thanks for the hard work invested by all UT contributors !

I have 2 questions about the new web browser which is developped by Alfred :

• is there plans to include bookmark/password syncing ? And if there is, would it be possible to make it through firefox sync, like gnome epiphany did (now gnome web) ? I do not know the difficulty of adapting some existing code for this, but there is a big firefox user base out there, ability to keep the sync across devices would be awesome !
• Is there any plans to add some drm through widevine ?

Have a good one !

@arubislander
Yep it is a kde connect functionnality, the main one for my use
The difference is kde connect on desktop can only connect with its android counterpart, zouip can also share clipboards between two desktops.

The video link should be ok, i think it was transcoding.

Hi guys, here is a small thread to show the progress and ask for feedback (and maybe help sometimes ) on a small app i'm trying to write for UT called Zouip !

Zouip wants to be a background clipboard sharing system between UT and linux (and linux and linux) !
It allows to share files and text through local network. It is not available for now, but you can check my mess on the github :https://github.com/samytichadou/zouip

It will be composed on every unit by a receiver (server) and a sender (client). The sender detects new clipboard contents, and send it to a bunch of saved receiver across the network basically.

For now, i have a working prototype of the file sharing, not the from file-into clipboard on receiver side. It means all text/files will be share as file only, not available for direct pasting on receiver unit.

The current implementation is for KDE plasma only (i'm using it at home) but i plan on porting it to gnome.

It is coded in python and uses DBUS to get the clipboard, and socket to send the content.

A config file contains receiver/sender infos and a passphrase (plain text for now) receiver-specific. All senders have to give it, and the correct receiver port (no handshake system) to be able to communicate.

For now, nothing is encrypted, and i'm not sure i will implement a proper encryption system, so if you are concerned about your local network security, be aware of that !

The python background scripts will be set as systemd services, and activated/unactivated through a qml UI on UT, and a tkinter one on desktop i think (stock python, simpler for me to use).

Here is a little video demo of the file sharing abilities, desktop and phone are connected through local network !
https://makertube.net/w/jEscSdyUnSFvPbAsNib5cV

Don't hesitate to ask questions/give feedback ! cheers !

@Rustic did not try with radicale, is it a nextcloud/owncloud variant ?
where did the script failed exactly ?
do you have the console return ?

@noahtehomas
Just updated the github, for info here is the git readme :

A simple bash script to setup your carddav contact.

The script also have the ability to setup an auto synchronisation (hourly, daily, weekly...) and to add a sync button in your launcher.

You can use this script two ways : locally on and from your phone, or through adb (android debug tool) on your computer through a terminal.

• First you have to put the script file on your phone storage.

  You can do it by *connecting your phone to a computer and using the file explorer.

  You can also use adb : with your phone connected to your computer (with usb debugging activated), you can use this command : adb push filepath_on_your_system destination_filepath_on_phone

• Then you have to make your file executable and launch it.

  • If you are doing this through adb, first connect to your phone shell with this command adb shell, if you are doing this locally, ignore this last command.
  • Go into the folder you copied the script cd script_folder
  • Make it executable chmod -x ./scriptfile.
  • You can now run the script and follow its instructions ./scriptfile

@noahtehomas
Thanks for the input, i'll add it to the github readme when i have some spare time!

@AppLee
thanks for the tip, i tried with ascii converter, didn't think of that, it works
I'll have to parse the resulting ascii (lots of escaped character, and html in it )

so i get an array of bytes which looks like this :

03 00 00 00 34 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 3e 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 47 00 00 00

but longer.
It seems to be the clipboard content in mimedata, encoded, but i can't get how to decode it (tested through python or bash for now), sorry if dumb question, i'm getting more familiar with dbus, but not the most skilled around here, that's for sure
Does anyone have some clue about this ? I tried some byte converters to try to identify the encoding, but didn't get through for now...

@lduboeuf not sure either ^^ but if i can decode the bytes array, i believe i can at least retrieve the clipboard ! one step at a time here !

@arubislander Thank you for the tip, you were right, i "just" have to find the proper way to encode/decode the "array of bytes" output from these dbus calls !
