syncing with google calendars is buggy

[Mike Basinger]

Setting up a Google Calendar in Evolution allows me to sync from GCal to Evolution but not from Evolution to GCal.

Hi,

can you provide the following info:
1. ubuntu version (lsb_release -d)
2. package version (dpkg -l evolution)
3. steps/instructions you followed to setup gCal?

Suman.

[kvdb (kc0)]

Same problem here.

1. Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
2. ii evolution 2.22.3.1-0ubun groupware suite with mail client and organiz
3. Switch to calendar view. New calendar. Type: Google. Insert data. Verify that all appointments are loaded correctly. Now create a new appointment. It's created in the GUI. But after restarting evolution, the appointment is gone. So it has never been transmitted to google, without any warning in the GUI.

Confirmation for very weird bug

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

Same thing happens I try to sync my Palm LiveDrive. I get the same error messages.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Can you execute Evolution with the debug option from command line and try all the mentioned Gcal -related operations so we have a complete log ?

Open Applications > Accessories > Terminal then run:
evolution --debug=evo-debug-launchpadid.txt

Then attach the resulting files to this case file - of course replace launchpadid in the filename with your own launchpad ID.

There is several bugs about that on bugzilla.gnome.org, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574081 being one of those, one known issue is already reccurent events not working

I have ubuntu 9.04, sync still not working :(. (read-only)

[Michele Costantino Soccio (michelinux)]

Still present in Ubuntu 9.04 (Evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu1).

In my case any new appointment I made on Evolution calendar are recorded as appointment in the same day starting from 12.00 AM and lasting for 24 hours. Even after editing the event in Google Calendar, Evolution still records it as a 24 hours event.
This problem does not occur if the event is created in Google Calendar.

[Jacob Kiers (jacobkiers)]

In my case (Ubuntu 9.04), syncing only works the other way around: appointments added in Evolution are successfully synced to Google Calendar, but I don' t see any appointments created in Google Calendar.

So, the only appointments I can see in Evolution are those I explicitly created there.

you can use caldav calender to sync with google calender in both ways. that works!
