[gentoo-user] problem with KOrganizer and Google calendar

[Jack]

I use KDE, and have configured KOrganizer to access my Google  
Calendar.  Unfortunately, I very often open KOrganizer, and my Google  
events are simply not present, and that calendar is not even shown in  
the list at the lower left.  I have no other calendars configured, and  
don't use a local calendar.  If I do Settings/Configure KOrganizer, and  
select the Calendars tab, I see the Google Groupware entry with my  
email address.  Selecting it and hitting the "Restart" button seems to  
give it the appropriate blow to the head, and everything appears as  
expected.  I suppose I'll end up posting to one of the KDE forums, but  
figured someone here might have a clue or hint about troubleshooting  
this issue.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jack

Have you enabled automatic updates? I was suffering similar to you until I 
disabled it, and now all seems fine.

Thanks, Peter.

I see a checkbox for "Enable interval refresh", but if I turn this off,  
when will the desktop pick up any changes made to the calendar on other  
devices?  I'll try turning it off - hopefully the "refresh" or "update  
folder" will handle this.  I have also had times when I've had to  
delete an even multiple times before that delete managed to actually  
get pushed up to Google.  I'd restart KOrganizer, and the event just  
shows up again.

I hope so too, because that's what I do. I make such infrequent changes in my 
calendar, though, that it's hard to be sure.

I haven't had much success using KOriganizer to write entries, but it seems 
all right at reading the entries I've made on my mobile.
