I have added /home/simon/sources/gnome-shell-extensions/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py [email protected] to init apps in Ubuntu.
But when I start the gnome session, it creates config.json file in my home folder. This file should be created in the folder where it resides the gnome-shell-google-calendar.py or in a hidden folder with the other settings of this app.

I like to start the script with the gnome session, but if there is not yet an Internet connection this will fail.

So the script should stay running and wait for connection.

Hello,

every event displayed in gnome-shell-calendar contains a "(la)" suffix which shouldn't appear, as i never typed it in the event name in gcal.

ANy ideas?

See screenshot for details: www.ibrowsergame.it/la.jpg

./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py", line 11, in
import gdata.calendar.client
ImportError: No module named gdata.calendar.client

On Ubuntu 12.04 the script does only work when started in a terminal without forking to the background.
When added as autostart nothing happens :(

Hi,

maybe you can add a parameter to the programm, so that it is possible to pre-select the account you want to use.
This helpful when you want the script to be run in the autostart.

Now it loos like this:

test@test-laptop:~$ /home/test/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py
Logging in as 'None'...
0. [email protected]
Please choose the Account: 0

In future it can be :
test@test-laptop:$ /home/test/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py 0
or
test@test-laptop:$ /home/test/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py [email protected]
or
test@test-laptop:$ /home/test/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py --account [email protected]
test@test-laptop:$ /home/test/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py -a [email protected]

This would be great :)

I've installed all requirements via RPMs on Fedora 16. When I try to run the script, it asks me for email address and password, shows me the list of my calendars, then hangs for a bit, and then throws this error message:

Checking if actual month events need update...
Exception in thread Thread-2:

KeyError: (1319922000, 1322949599)

If I run it again, it logs in correctly, gets the list of calendars, and then after a while throws the same error.

whenever I run this it fails as such:

./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py

I'm not sure what the problem is, since I've never used this script before, but I'm getting the following issue under Gnome 3.8:

After this, I get the same except that it tries and fails to log into my account instead of "None". I've tried specifying the account using "--account=", but it doesn't change anything. I've obviously already created an Online Account, otherwise it wouldn't be in the list. Maybe Gnome 3.8 changed something about Online Accounts?

In case we have several calendars in the same Google calendar account, is there any way of selecting the calendars we want to integrate in the extension, or discard any of them?

Thanks.

Following the instructions given here http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/google-calendar-gnome-shell-integration.html I've executed:

sudo apt-get install git-core python-gtk2 python-dbus python-gdata python-iso8601 python-gnomekeyring

but no python-iso8601 seems to be available.

Given this I've lanched the script which responds with

~/gnome-shell-google-calendar> ./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py

I'm not the only one encountering the issue : http://askubuntu.com/questions/116041/help-with-installing-gnome-shell-google-calendar-extension (see answer at the first comment)

I've no idea on what to do to make it work.

Thanks for your job, nice extension (hope I'll be able to run it)

Hello,

currently it's not possible to exclude calenders with an "Ö", presumably with any other umlaut mark too, in .gnome-shell-google-calendar-excludes. Any other calendar without "special characters" is excluded correctly, but not the one with the "Ö" in it.

Hoping for a quick solution and wishing you all the best!

Maybe you can integrate the Gnome Online Accounts.
So that you login at that application and can select, that you want to integrate the calendar items in the time indicator...

Hello

help please.

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the name of my calendar, that appears within brackets after every event of my calendar. For me it's : (be) for example. I have no utility of that, and i'm using only one calendar and even if i add another one, The name of the event is enough for me.
Thanks for your help.

My python is a bit rusty and I have no experience of the dbus API in python, so I am not sure where to look for the problem.

I have installed all of dependency but when I start instalation of extension this is error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py", line 444, in
email, password = keyring.get_credentials()

_display_name, _attrs, '', True)
gnomekeyring.NoSuchKeyringError

On my system I'm using unsafe keyring; can be told that I don't have keyring at all

When the redirect issue occurs, it retries, but seems to keep getting the same issue over and over. However, killing the program and running it again right away does not seem to get the redirect issue. Something more drastic might be necessary.

Feature request: if you have the time, it would be really nice if this would support Unity (indicator-datetime) too.

Thanks.

Hi,

I just installed this under Arch from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49468
I installed 'python2-iso8601' too.

I'm getting: File "/usr/bin/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py", line 6, in
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

Is it compatible with 3.2?
Is there a way to use the User Accounts feature to pull the necessary information?

Thank you.

Hi,
i recognized a very high CPU usage ( > 50% on one core) for the main python application without using it in any active way. Am i the only one experiencing that?

Cheers, Niklas

I have a problem with times, every event in my calendar have two hours of delay, I think because I have UTC+2 time and is not applied.

Sorry for my English I hope you understand.

It would be nice to be able to use this script behind a proxy.

After enabling 2-step verification and granting gnome shell new access i can no longer update my calenders.

Hi,
Very nice idea.
I would like to use your code, to synchronise my google calendar with the gnome calendar.
I'm using Ubuntu11.10, i don't know if it can help you.
Here's the error i have got :

./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py

When I create cyclic event in my Google Calendar and then remove some of occurrences, the script shows the event even at days I removed it. It's quite annoying.

A user in google calendars have possibility to create multiple calendars with different names. It is possible to synchronize all of ora selected of them? Can you possibly add this future?

You write in readme that "Once logged in, events from all your calendars should appear in GNOME Shell's calendar." but for me only the events from main callendar are fetched :(

Hello,

at the moment, your extension shows only the starting time of an event. Is there a possibility to see the ending time too?

Best wishes!
