Hi all,

I set up Kontact to sync with google. Nearly everyting works like a charm. Except that I found out, new contacts are not transferred to google. If I add a new contact anywhere (iMac, Android phone, googlemail web page) I receive the new contact within minutes. But a newly added contact from KAddressBook (integrated in kontact) won't show up.

Any ideas why?

I am using 4.8.3 on gentoo

How are you syncing with Google? Are you using "akonadi-google" or the older "akonadi-googledata"? I admit I haven't tried contact syncing, but since akonadi-google uses the same library to handle everything, it shouldn't be an issue, at least in theory.

...sorry for my late reply, I was busy the last days...

When starting akonadi console, it looks like i am using "akonadi_google_contacts" and "akonadi_google_calendar" for syncing.
IS that ok? If not, I don't even know how to replace it...

Can you look through packages installed in your distribution to see which ones are you using? (search for "akonadi")

I hope you mean the following list of libs (found in /usr/lib64/kde4)

Code: Select all

akonadi_akonotes_resource.so
akonadi_maildir_resource.so
akonadi_notes_resource.so
akonadi_serializer_kcal.so

akonadi_serializer_kalarm.so
akonadi_knut_resource.so

if not - I will have to do a system wide search for akonadi*

edit:
the system wide search is running. grep for google results in

Hi,

your have an old version of Akonadi Google and there is a known bug which prevents this version from working. As of KDE 4.9 the resources are part of kdepim-runtime (you must have libkgapi installed, otherwise the resources won't be built), so you can drop the akonadi-google package then. If you can't update for any reason, you can still build the latest version from git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/dvratil/a ... -resources (it's a repo extracted from kdepim-runtime but it contains only the Akonadi resources for Google).

so it seems I have to wait until 4.9 drops in the portage tree for gentoo...

Thanks for the help!
