Migration tips

Revision as of 10:40, 19 July 2013

[Work in progress] this process should work but doesn't (yet)

migrate your contacts from Maemo to Nemo (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.vcf /media/mmc1p1/home/nemo/Documents

reboot into Nemo

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 contacts' from the menu to point to the contacts.vcf file. And it should be ok. But it isn't.
