Migration tips

Revision as of 10:38, 19 July 2013

[Work in progress] this process should work but doesn't. Bug will be raised if need be.

migrate your contacts from Maemo (potentially also Harmattan, to be verified by someone with an N9)

export your contacts to a file (on the Maemo side) (as per TMO source)

    osso-addressbook-backup -e contacts.vcf

copy the file to the Nemo side (using default partition layout on uSD card):

    sudo cp contacts.vcard /media/mmc1p1/home/nemo/Documents

reboot into Nemo

(possibly) change filerights/ownership for the contacts.vcf (standard root passowrd is 'nemo')

    su
    chmod 555 contacts.vcf
    chown nemo:nemo contacts.vcf

and use the People - Import function to point to the contacts.vard file. And it should be ok.
