Hello

I use the standard sources from openSuSE 11.2 and would like to sync my google contacts via googledata. I have a hosted google apps acount. When ever I configure the module I get the message "invalid password". I am absolute sure that the password is ok.
Is there any one who runs googledata with an hosted account? I know that this should work - but obviously there is a glitch..

Thanks a lot
Michael

PS I am in contact with the developer but he is travelling for some time so in case it is an issue on my side - this might be fixed here.

Hello

Hello

could solve the issue:

It seems, that by default, Opensuse 11.2 uses environment variables for the
proxy-settings.
So entering "network settings -> proxy" and changing the default setting to "direct
connection with the internet" solved this problem for me and everything works fine

Can you please file a bug at bugs.kde.org? It should report its ability to connect correctly, and should handle a proxy correctly too.

I found interesting think about akonadi's googledata module. When the google calendar does not contain any event, syncing fails. There was used assumption there has to be at least one event.

It starts working after I had added one event.

Code: Select all

      /* GCalendar returns last updated entry as first element */
      event = gcal_event_element(&all_events, 0);
      if (!event) {
            kError() << "Failed to retrieve last updated event.";
            const QString message = i18nc("@info:status",
                                    "Failed getting last updated"
                                    " event.");
            emit error(message);
            emit status(Broken, message);
            return;

      }


Can you please report this as a bug at bugs.kde.org so its developers can fix the issue?
