Evolution doesn't read all entries from a Google calendar

[Reuben Thomas]

Binary package hint: evolution

I have a newly created calendar in Google Calendar. When I import it into Evolution, only a few entries are imported. I can't see any systematic difference between the types of entry that are imported and those that aren't: for example, some all-day entries are imported, some appointments are imported. Most entries of all types are not imported.

I looked at other similar bug reports, and the symptoms described in them seem all to be more definite (either no data being synched, or data of certain types not being synched). Most of the entries that did sync, but not all, were ones I created recently in Google Calendar, but some entries from the original data import were also synced into Evolution. I only have one Google calendar, I don't use private tags or any other similar mark to differentiate entries.

Thank you for your bug report. The ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to work on this specific issue but it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Reuben Thomas (rrt)]

Sure. Can you sort out apport and/or launchpad so that in future this happens automatically, please? It would save your time and mine.

[Reuben Thomas (rrt)]

I added a comment to GNOME bug #510097.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

could someone explain why the comment was added to a conduit report upstream?

Yes. It was idiocy on my part. Sorry. I searched for relevant bugs and
failed to realise this one was against conduit.

No such information was requested; you request I report the bug
upstream, and I did. Perhaps you sent the wrong form message when
closing the bug?

the stock replies doesn't really correspond there but you didn't give the upstream bug reference and you indicated that's not an evolution issue

I gave the reference of the bug I found (Gnome bug #510097). Then I
got confused: the bug is filed against conduit but its description is
"Google calendar to evolution misses appointments" which is correct.
Does Evolution use conduit to sync with Google Calendar? If so, that
is the same problem that I had. If not, I suppose I should file
another bug elsewhere.

> and you indicated that's not an evolution issue

I was using Evolution. I don't know what it does under the hood..
