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
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:
apt-get update apt-get install -o DPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite kdepim-mobile
Note
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ libgmp3c2 2:4.3.2+dfsg-1+maemo5+0m6 The requested URL returned error: 404You can get the the package here and install it manually with
dpkg -i. The link to this package appears to be broken in the Nokia repository.
Known problems (Version 20120224)
The apt-get option -o DPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite is necessary to replace old versions of libgcrypt and libgpg-error on the phone. The packages can not be updated as they come from Nokia but they were not developed / optimized for mobile devices and Kontact also depends on functions that are not contained in those libraries. As the newer versions we provide are binary compatible the replace is harmless.
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.
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.
Additional Notes
Make sure to check out the general Kontact Touch page, especially note the recommendation to use KWallet in the account setup section.
