  • [gentoo-user] problem with KOrganizer and Google calendar

    From Jack@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 11 23:40:02 2021
    I use KDE, and have configured KOrganizer to access my Google
    Calendar. Unfortunately, I very often open KOrganizer, and my Google
    events are simply not present, and that calendar is not even shown in
    the list at the lower left. I have no other calendars configured, and
    don't use a local calendar. If I do Settings/Configure KOrganizer, and select the Calendars tab, I see the Google Groupware entry with my
    email address. Selecting it and hitting the "Restart" button seems to
    give it the appropriate blow to the head, and everything appears as
    expected. I suppose I'll end up posting to one of the KDE forums, but figured someone here might have a clue or hint about troubleshooting
    this issue.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Have you enabled automatic updates? I was suffering similar to you until I disabled it, and now all seems fine.

    Thanks, Peter.

    I see a checkbox for "Enable interval refresh", but if I turn this off,
    when will the desktop pick up any changes made to the calendar on other devices? I'll try turning it off - hopefully the "refresh" or "update folder" will handle this. I have also had times when I've had to
    delete an even multiple times before that delete managed to actually
    get pushed up to Google. I'd restart KOrganizer, and the event just
    shows up again.

    I hope so too, because that's what I do. I make such infrequent changes in my calendar, though, that it's hard to be sure.

    I have also had times when I've had to delete an even multiple times before that delete managed to actually get pushed up to Google. I'd restart KOrganizer, and the event just shows up again.

    I haven't had much success using KOriganizer to write entries, but it seems
    all right at reading the entries I've made on my mobile.
