Re: owncloud sync on the phone.

 

Hacky update

added:  syncevolution owncloud calendar
            syncevolution owncloud contacts

to Filip's script owncloud-sync.sh directly under the line
owncloud $OWNCLOUDUSER $OWNCLOUDSERVERDOMAIN $HTTPS $OWNCLOUDPASSWORD
$LOCALPATH $REMOTEPATH

rebooted phone to read in new script (probably a much more elegant way to
do this)
Edited my Home contact on my ownCloud server, adding my home address.
Deleted my Duane Eddie folder from my laptop /home/bruce/UbuntuTouch/Music
directory
Added Juanitos Best of Juanitos, Exotica, Soul Africa and Welcome in the
House of FUN albums to /home/bruce/UbuntuTouch/Music directory.

Checked phone. It had the updated Home contact info with my full address!
Checked ownCloud server. Within 5 minutes Duane Eddie was gone from my
UbuntuTouch/Music directory and Juanitos was there. Gave it another 5
minutes and was playing "Super Exotic 60's Beat!" on my phone.

Juanitos!!!!!!!

While my hack onto Filip's awesome good work was ham-fisted and inelegant
and only applies to my own phone, I'm calling it a success. My phone is not
in read/write mode. It is syncing Music, Videos, Pictures, Documents,
Calendar and Contacts.

And more importantly, my phone finished playing "Super Exotic '60's Beat"
and started playing "Latin Fever!" And that is awesome. I love Creative
Commons licensed music, especially when it's good.

Done with "Latin Fever" and listening to "Holla Holla Bossa Nova". Cool.

Now to sync The Deadrocks album "Million Dollar Surf Band" and get rid of
the crusty Rockabilly. This is a crust-free zone.
