Many thanks for your advice and for trying to help.
Yes, I do have Evolution installed and configured (as well as Thunderbird and Sunbird).
In the meantime, I've found and installed the Evolution plugin explicitly:
sudo apt-get install opensync-plugin-evolution
- That's in addition to the installation instructions you've provided.
That helped a bit - I can sync my files now. But as for calendar - still a no-go.
Your advice to sync via a server is quite good. That's exactly what I'm doing already (albeit I'm using a Zimbra server - that's what my employer is providing). What's the problem, then? Well, the problem is that the calendar stored on server (and accessed via CalDAV) is not "persistent" in all three calendars I have on Ubuntu (Evolution, Lightning, and Sunbird). So, as I long as I have Internet connection, everything is fine. But when I travel somewhere and don't have Internet connection, then my laptop has no access to the calendar. My WM device (which is HTC Wizard) does provide "persistent" access to my calendar and contacts, and I hoped that by syncing it to the laptop I'll get a "persistent" calendar on the laptop to use when I travel (and which would be also synced to the Wizard).
So, I used your instructions but modified them a bit:
synce-create-partnership "Laptop-Ubuntu" "Calendar,Files"
As you see, I'd like to sync just my calendar and my files. That's because contacts are quite stable but the calendar changes all the time.
So far, I only got my files synced but not the calendar.
Any ideas?..
Thanks again!
P. S. A different question: How do I safely disconnect my Wizard from the Ubuntu laptop - do you happen to know?...
