evolution "looses" write permission on remote authenticated caldav calendar intermittently

[Brendan_P]

I have a series of CalDAV calendars on my owncloud install. I access them via Evolution and mostly it works well. However intermittently Evolution will loose the abilty to write to these calendars. Perhaps 1-2 times a week. Can't determine a pattern but all seems fine with the owncloud side as my mobile is able to still write at the same time as eveolution looses write access.

Killing evolution, evolution-sourc, evolution-calen, evolution-alarm and then restarting evolution resolves the issue.

Evolution: 3.10.4

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue (Evolution was not able to sync any calender entry).
After do some "killall -KILL evolution*" I could solve the issue.

I assume the problem could be related with "unavailable" owncloud server during start-up of (Gnome, Evolution, or what services ever).

My owncloud is a test installation (Debian 64 Jessie) my Evolution is on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (its Evolution 3.10.4).

My owncloud server is not always available (especially not during startup of my Gnome system).
Restarting Evolution after starting owncloud VM it seems working.

Hopefully this helps others as well and maybe this could be fixed soon?
