Thanks for packaging this for us, my only problem is that, if you plan to run this in a command-line environment only, it might not be appropriate.

I’ve had to change /usr/bin/gcaldaemon to load the default conf found /usr/share/gcaldaemon/conf.

Also for people having trouble using the ldap service, please have a look here:

Thank you Philip.

Are you experiencing problem with the LDAP service?
I’ve enabled it, and i’ve seen that the contacts are dowloaded as csv from google, but the ldap service seems non to work at all.
Sorry for the question, but i don’t much activity on the project by the actual mantainers….

Hey magatz,

seems that I forgot to make a log-directory in the package. Create a folder called ~/.gcaldaemon/log. Then restart the daemon:

$ mkdir ~/.gcaldaemon/log
$ gcaldaemon restart

I’ll work this thing in the next package.

Regards,
Philipp

Hehe, I’m glad you like it.

Thanks for offering, but you should maybe donate something to the author of GCALDaemon. I’m just the guy who packed it in an Ubuntu-package …

Cheers,
Philipp

hey jay,

unfortunately i don’t have KOrganizer installed so i can’t test it with this particular peace of software, BUT this shouldn’t matter in this case:

If you enable the file-based synchronization in GCALDaemon _and_ disable the dial-up-connection mode, GCALDaemon will poll the ICS-file for changes in regular intervals and update the selected calendars when the file has changed:

To change these settings, open the graphical config editor (type ‘gcaldaemon-config’ or select it from the menu) and browse to ‘File synchronizer’. Enable the first checkbox (“Enable file-based calendar sync..”) and disable the second one (“Enable dial-up ..”).

Now add the calendars to sync to the list at the bottom. I’d recommend you add a test-calendar to Google first to play around with!

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Philipp

This is a great deb package, and seems to work well, except for one problem. Changes made to Google Calendar show up on Korganizer, but not the opposite direction. How do I get changes in KOrganizer to show up on G. Calendar?
