Syncevolution (syncevo-dbus-server) autostart in 13.10

Question

As stated in this bug, there are 2 files missing in 13.04 and in 13.10:

/usr/lib/syncevolution/syncevo-dbus-server-startup.sh
/etc/xdg/autostart/syncevo-dbus-server.desktop

because of what syncevo autostart does not work. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Which version of syncevolution you are using? Why do you need to auto-start it? Contact mailing list for info. — Khurshid Alam, Dec 29, 2013 at 7:13
1.2.99.4. Just opened it. Syncevo was forgotten all my settings (i'm using Memotoo for syncing my calendar with Android). Made settings again and turned on autosync. Hope, it will work, because that's what i need: sync my tasks automatically with Evolution. — mackuz, Dec 30, 2013 at 13:56
Plz update it to 1.3.2 stable from their stable repo.sudo add-apt-repository deb http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt stable main — Khurshid Alam, Jan 1, 2014 at 10:27
Did you install the package syncevolution-bundle (for ubuntu <=12.04) from the ppa? Because if you are installing syncevolution-evolution then you won't get dbus-server packages. Also I don't think syncevolution binaries are compiled for Evolution-data-server >=3.6. So you must use Sebastian Heinlein's ppa.Add the ppa from launchpad.net/~glatzor/+archive/syncevolution. And then install sudo apt-get install syncevolution syncevolution-dbus. In newer version dbus-server can be found under /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/syncevolution/ folder. — Khurshid Alam, Jan 9, 2014 at 16:47

Syncevolution binaries are NOT compiled for Evolution-data-server >=3.6. So for Ubuntu >=13.10 you must use Sebastian Heinlein's ppa.

And then install syncevolution using sudo apt-get install syncevolution syncevolution-dbus.

In newer version, dbus-server can be found under /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/syncevolution/ folder.
