Hello,
I've been using Ubuntu with Unity then Gnome for a while and thought I would try Neon as I had heard good things.
Overall a positive experience so far but i am stumped by how to sync to my Google contacts and calendar. In gnome this is straight forward through Online Accounts or Evolution but I can't seem to find any equivalent?
Any help would be appreciated!

neon 5.15
plasma 5.15.3

Thanks,

Steve

Where's the problem?

As far as I am aware "Online Accounts" only Syncs Google Drive & You Tube, not Calendar or Contacts.
Are you using the default Kontact Suite? or Thunderbird with Lightning?
I only ask because the latter IMO is better for syncing Calendars & Contacts.

Thanks for your reply!
My problem is that I don't seem to have that option under Personalisation.

Why would that be?

I think you need kio-gdrive installed to get that option. But as I say that will not sync your Calendar & Contacts.
You need to do that from within either Kontact or Thunderbird.

Ok, thank you, I will try that.

"Online Accounts" is part of package:

"kaccounts-integration"

Code: Select all

kaccounts-integration/bionic,now 4:18.12.3-0xneon+18.04+bionic+build14 amd64 [installed]
  System to administer web accounts


That package can't be installed on the OPs install, for some reason.
Maybe it's an install from an older iso, before it became part of the default packages.

The reason for "Online Accounts" being installed:

$ aptitude why kaccounts-integration

i neon-all Depends kaccounts-integration

The 3 main ways to get "Online Accounts" installed
==>automatically<== on KDE neon:

Code: Select all


# In PlainEnglish: "What does depend on it?"

$ aptitude search '?depends(kaccounts-integration)' | grep -v -E 'i386|dbgsym|lib'

i A kde-config-telepathy-accounts - KDE Control Module for managing Telepathy Accounts
i  kio-gdrive - KIO access for GDrive
i  neon-all - All Applications Built in KDE neon
