Cannot add caldav calendar

[tuxiano]

Hi,

I try to add a caldav calendar

calendars -> Add -> From Web -> https://posteo.de:8443/calendars/max.mustermann/default/

and I hit enter but the "add" button in the right upper corner remains grayed out.

Kind regards

I can add the same calendar in evolution without issues.

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.

On 16.04 when adding using "add web calendar" and copying the url it directly prompts for username/password

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have a similar problem with Ubuntu 17.10. After pasting my ICS URL (from Zimbra), the Add button stays grayed out. If I use the read-only URL (offered by Zimbra, with an .html at the end) it adds the calendar but no event is shown. And when clinking at the calendar it opens it at my browser. Besides this it keeps crashing without warning in some random situations.

still not possible in ubuntu 18.04 with calendar 3.28.2. I also tried a posteo calendar.

Still can't add a caldav calendar.
Wonder why the importance is low, given that it makes the appliation unusable for many of us.

I got the same behaviour in Ubuntu 18.10

[Robert Euhus (euhus-liste1)]

This is really sad. This app is completely broken and nobody cares.

This is supposed to be a Long Time *Support* release and the problem was not fixed, even though in was known in the alpha stage.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

This will be possible with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by adding the account using the Settings app > Online Accounts > WebDAV

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-online-accounts - 3.49.0-1
