Hi,

If anyone would be able to help, it would be much appreciated. I installed Akonadi and started its service. I put in google calendar and my google account details. Akonadi service is online and ready.

However, when I enable Google Calendar in KOrganizer, I get the following error (Bold on actual error):

user ~ $ korganizer
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/user/.config/ibus/bus
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
korganizer(3249)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
user ~ $ korganizer(3249)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
korganizer(3249)/kresources: Loading items for collection (id= 5 , remoteId= "google-calendar" failed: "Unknown error. (Unable to fetch item from backend)"
korganizer(3249)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

If you remove the Google Calendar resource and set it up again, does that have any effect?
Are you using the latest release of the Google Akonadi Resource?

Thanks for your reply. I set it up again and my system is up to date. Sadly, it doesn't work, the error stays the same.

I can confirm this. I have many times removed the calendar resource, re-added it, fed it my Google mail user ID and password, but it will no longer sync either calendar or address book data.
In the Calendar mode, the process will give a brief error message ("The calendar can not be created"), in Address book mode the address book will just fail silently and never fill up with Google data. The Google resource address book will also not allow new entries to be made.

Using TCP dump I can see some https traffic between my client and a Google server. However, as it is https, I can't figure out what is going on. Anyway it's not something a simple as a wrong password.

This is a real PITA. Google offers an excellent platform for syncing personal data, which just works on many clients, but not on KDE.

Anyone else seen this, and resolved the problem?
