The .vcf file is invalid: it is missing the "N" attribute, which the standard is very clear is required in all vCards. I am very interested to find out what system generated this invalid vCard and also to see the invalid vCard(s). If possible, please send me the vCard file by email off the list (I will keep it confidential). If you can't send me the whole file, please send me at least one card and change any data you want (but please keep the structure, all the fields and things like spaces within the fields). If the system which generated the invalid vCard is still maintained (e.g. not an old Palm application) please report the bug to the originating system: GPE may not be the only application which rejects their invalid vCards.

Therefore, regardless of that directory/file's existance or function, it can't be responsible for containing the settings or data that persist when it's uninstalled. The offending files have to be somewhere that still exists even when the app doesn't. However, thanks for that command line. It will be very useful in other situations. :-) Mark ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Last year I posted a few issues such as categories aren't sorted, and there's no real way to accurately sort contacts (tried using 'Name:' for people and 'Company' for business' thinking that 'Name' would sort by last name (assuming last name is the last entry) while Company would sort by first name (assuming it's the first entry) but that doesn't seem to be the case). Other than that, I've come to depend upon GPE (todo, contacts, and calendar).

I keep wondering when Access is going to go from "horrible beta" to reliable tool. I keep sending in my issues with installed software and never get anything back except a thank you and with no subsequent betas being releases, there's no way to know if Access is even working on Garnet. It's a bit frustrating and I agree it's "teaseware". There's great potential here though. Nick.

Re: Garnet VM & PIM
If you are running from the launcher, it will probably be /home/user/.gvm If you're running as root, you might have created it in /root/.gvm - I really don't know where else it could be? Try running this in a terminal: find / -name gvm.store You should find something that way...

If the package is just removed (dpkg -r "packagename"), configuration files are left in place. If the package is subsequently re-installed, dpkg assumes those files will still be there so doesn't re-install them. To be certain that the next re-install will definitely install config files you need to purge the package (dpkg -P "packagename"). I don't know for certain which option the application manager uses, but I have a feeling it's only remove rather than purge. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.

Re: Garnet VM & PIM
It's contained all in one big file in the /home/user/.gvm/ folder called gvm.store. you can't really access it easily. It could be a loopback device, but even if it is, they haven't said anything about what filesystem is on there. So there are several very valid complaints here: 1) Access is running a horrible beta program. It's "teaseware". No user feedback, no developer feedback. No hint of future support. No documentation. 2) No serious PIM on the platform. GPE is "conceptware". It doesn't even handle alarms acceptably. No icons for events. No categories in todo. Sync through erminig is a great hack but a nasty implementation. Gene Cash developed some scripts in python that are better, but still miles from a good Palm PIM, and kinda slow. He had trouble installing OS2008 so abandoned all the OS2008 users. Another great hack, of course, but not professional at all. 3) No serious contact app. GPE contacts is not bad for accessing, but insanity to try and format things just so so that it figures out first and last names. Is it really that hard to put in 2 fields for that? Nothing is integrated with anything else. Skype and Gizmo are given huge prominence, and have no connection with the system contacts list. At least the Google Talk client has some kind of integration... I've pretty much given up using the tablet for PIM use for now. I'd pay good money for something like Pocket Informant, if they ported it. You're almost better off getting the smallest Palm handheld you can find and carrying that alongside. 4) Data exchange is buggy across the board. gpesyncd can do it, but you have to fuss with your file for a long time before it's happy. Check the ITT forums for some people that have done it, in a few different ways.
