Kontact Touch/Harmattan
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
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 the nokia development repositories and the files.kolab.org repo (which contains the packages) so that all dependencies can be installed. To enable them (as root):
echo "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:
curl https://ssl.intevation.de/Intevation-Distribution-Key.asc | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install kdepim-mobile

dpkg -i
. The link to this package appears to be broken in the Nokia repository.
Use "MyDocs" as Cache
If you want to sync an account that is larger then your home directory for complete offline use you can symlink the akonadi directory (/home/user/.local/share/akonadi) to somewhere where you have enough space available. MyDocs usually has more space available, see the following
steps:
make sure that akonadi is disabled (akonadictl stop
/ akonadictl status
)
As root do (Please check after each step if it worked correctly and not copy/paste everything):
cp -r /home/user/.local/share/akonadi /home/user/MyDocs/akonadi
Now as user
rm -rf /home/user/.local/share/akonadi ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/akonadi /home/user/.local/share/akonadi echo -e "[Connection]\nSocketDirectory=/home/user" >> /home/user/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc
The configuration change of the socket directory is necessary because MyDocs is by default a vfat that does not support akonadi's way of symlinking it's socket in the .local directory.
Additional Notes
Make sure to check out the general Kontact Touch page, especially note the recommendation to use KWallet in the account setup section.
Known problems (Version 20120522)
The Strigi daemon 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.
Command line use of GnuPG
You need to execute
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/libgpg-error/lib:/opt/libgcrypt/lib
Before you can use gnupg (or use gnupg as crypto backend in kmail / kleopatra)
