Hi all,

I am using KDE 4.10.3 on archlinux and recently tried to add my google account to akonadi. I am prompted for my credentials and can click the "Allow Access" button on the google page, but afterwards, while the akonadi GUI is telling me "Authorizing token. This should take just a moment...", a messagebox appears saying "The account is invalid." When I click ok there (which is the only option), there is still no google account added to akonadi.

Any suggestion what could be the issue here? Issuing "akonadictl restart" on a console does not yield any obvious error or warning messages during the adding procedure...

Cheers,
Martin

Are there no messages in ~/.xsession-errors when you actually add the resource? Try to check the file when you get that message box.

This is what appears in .xsession-errors during adding the account:

Nothing unusual here. I'll get in touch with the developer and see what's the best way to debug this.

I am seeing exactly the same sort of error on the Fedora 19 beta. For some reason, it seems like akonadi is unable to determine the account name (since the account dropdown never gets populated). This occurs both for calendar/events and for contacts for me. I need to check .xsession-errors and I will see if that matches your case as well.

I see the same error messages in my .xsession-errors:

This issue appears to now be fixed in Fedora 19 Beta - seemlingly with the update to libkgapi-2.0.1. Thanks!

I'm seeing basically the same thing on Fedora 18, KDE 4.10.3, libkgapi 2.0.0-1. After deleting both Google Contacts and Calendar, I'm unable to re-add them.

Background:
My Kaddressbook contacts were syncing only newly-added entries, not deleted entries. For example, if I added an entry via the web, when KAddressbook synced it picked it up. But if I deleted the entry via the web, it never went away even after multiple syncs of KAddressbook. So, I thought I would remove and re-add the Akonadi resource for Google Contacts. It removed OK, but when I tried to re-add it, I was prompted by Google to allow Akonadi acccess to the account. After accepting, it said it was authorizing the token, then the window went away and the blank account list dialog in KAddressbook was left. Never got any further.

KMail is still working with my GMail account (IMAP) OK, so I tried adding a test entry to my Google calendar online, which synced properly with other apps I use on another computer as well as to my phone, so there's no issue on the Google end. When I tried to sync the KOrganizer calendar, it failed and I eventually ended up with the same issues as the OP after removing and trying to re-add my Google Calendar. I get forbidden resource and/or invalid account errors, despite having logged into my Google account during the process.

My ~/.xsession-errors is over 1000 lines but here are a few selected entries if they're of any use --

...and this is where access to my Google account (apparently) failed and returned to the empty account list dialog.

I just updated Fedora a couple of nights ago, so I suspect 2.0.0-1 is the newest libkgapi version in the Fedora repository.

Any ideas how to get these re-added and working again?

Thanks!!

Googling indicates this is a known issue. Can anyone point me to a procedure that works to re-establish syncing between Kontact and my Google calendars/contacts? No matter what I try, I always end up with either forbidden resource or invalid account errors. Is there a cache somewhere that needs clearing? I've looked in and under ~/.kde/cache-`hostname` but there's nothing obivous.

Any ideas? Not being able to sync w/Google is a pain which I'd love to alleviate ASAP.

I'll try to get in contact with the developer of the Google resource.

Thank you!

After updating today (to 4.10.4) I can once again add my Google contacts and calendars. I've not specifically added/deleted entries to verify it's syncing properly, but it certainly communicated, which is something it wasn't doing before. So maybe it's fixed...?

Thanks.

I finally managed to ask the developer: please upgrade to libkgapi 2.0.1 or pester your distribution to provide the update.

It must've shown up in the last update, 'cause I'm now at 2.0.1-1. Thanks.
