Introduction
There are some packages of Kontact Touch for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan. This is the operating system of the Nokia N9 (and N950) smartphones.
Installation
To install the packages you have to switch your phone into developer mode, since the packages are not yet available in the Application Store. (reachable via
) This will also install an ssh server on your device which makes the rest of the installation much more comfortable.Configure SSH
Note: This step is not really necessary since you can also do everything directly on the terminal of your device.
To connect to your ssh server you first have to set a password for the "user" account. To do that open the Terminal application and use devel-su to log in as root (default root password is rootme) and set the password for the user by calling passwd user. Now you are able to connect to your device as user and configure the OpenSSH server as usual.
Repositories
Kontact Touch packages need three repositories so that all dependencies can be installed. To enable them (as root):
echo "deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/rzr:/harmattan/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_standard/ ./ deb http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/sdk free non-free deb https://files.kolab.org/local/maemo/dists/harmattan ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/community.list
Installation with apt-get
To install the most recent version of Kontact Touch you can then call:
apt-get update apt-get install kdepim-mobile
Note: If you get an error like:
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ libgmp3c2 2:4.3.2+dfsg-1+maemo5+0m6 The requested URL returned error: 404
You can get the the package from: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta/free/g/gmp/
and install it manually with dpkg -i
. The link to this package appears to be broken in the Nokia repository.
Note: With the Harmattan Beta 2 image you might also get conflicts with packages having more recent versions in the community repository then on the platform. This can cause conflicts with the mp-harmattan package. To avoid those you can pin down the community repo by creating the file /etc/apt/preferences with the content:
Explanation: Dont update platform packages Package: * Pin: origin repo.pub.meego.com Pin-Priority: 99
Known problems (Version 20111120)
Installation with the community repository is problematic as the kontact touch packages were built with a newer libgpgme then the one that is available from Nokia which causes conflicts with the mp-harmattan-pr package. To resolve those you have to uninstall the mp-harmattan-pr meta package (do not do an apt-get autormove afterwards!)
The Strigi deamon fails to start putting up an error message now and then and causing address completion and full text search not to work.
The icons might be just some strange red squares until you restart.
Additional Notes
Make sure to check out the general Kontact Touch page, especially note the recommendation to use KWallet in the account setup section.
