DONE Calendar in Evolution

Postby jeffneedle » Dec 30th, '14, 08:55

Hi. I have a new install of Mageia, Gnome desktop edition. Evolution calendar won't let me connect to my google services. Contacts and mail work fine, but not the calendar. It keeps rejecting my password. Any idea how to work around this? Thanks.

Seems to be a pretty widespread issue. Please have a look at

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/questi ... dly-fails/
http://askubuntu.com/questions/556123/p ... -forbidden and maybe you can try http://askubuntu.com/a/556335/329633

I'll have a look to get the fixes included in an update candidate for Mageia 4. Could you please create a bugreport for this issue, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly
But first you would have to find out what your particular issue is. Depending on whether you enabled two-step authentication for your google account you may need to generate an app password for evolution at https://security.google.com/settings/se ... ppasswords

Did the calendar work in evolution before?

Odd thing -- the calendar has appeared after a night of trying. I don't have any idea why it's working now. Thanks.
