Package: sync-ui
Version: 1.5.2-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Attempted to download contacts from a phone (Android 6, Samsung A310F).
Installed the best tool for that I could find in apt-cache search...
Before, paired the device with blueman and it seems to be registered
normally.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Started sync-ui. Nothing is useful is displayed in the main area. No idea how to
continue. The only promising button is "Change or edit sync service".
* What was the outcome of this action?
Pushing this button shows another stupid error message:
"Failed to get list of supported services from SyncEvolution"
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Any useful information on how to continue from here. I have no clue how
to get this SyncEvolution running. I though it might be needed as a
background service but then, why does your UI not start it
automatically? I tried to run syncevolution manually but it's not clear
how to configure it for bluetooth; the manpage is overcomplicated,
it apparently wants some config file, and there is no clue where to get
a SIMPLE EXAMPLE FOR A SIMPLE DATA EXCHANGE WITH A SIMPLE PHONE.
