Unable to read calendar data from external source Google Calendar

[owenix]

Karmic
awn-core 0.4.0 ppa
Compiz
Poulsbo GMA 500

Everything else works as expected.

Is this a consistent error? The traceback indicates that it may have been temporary.

Regardless, these errors should be caught and reported sanely.

[DougEdey (doug-edey)]

This is a consistent error, the applet never prompts for google calendar login details or even a URL and just refuses to get any calendar entries.

It's a pain since it appears to be the only calendar that should work!

I just tried this on Lucid and still have no luck.
I have gone to the captcha page to unlock it.
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gdata/service.py
"else:
        self.__captcha_token = None
        self.__captcha_url = None
        raise Error, 'Server responded with a 403 code'

I found a fix for this not sure how much is necessary but his is what I did to get it working.

Open gconf-editor
 go to /apps/avant-window-navigator/awn-applet-calendar/

set url to your private address under your calendar details in google calendar
add your username
leave your password field blank

restart awn
you should get a pop up asking for your password enter it and save the password

that got it running for me.
