[opensuse] thunderbird calendar and google calendar
Hi, Using Leap 42.2 and Thunderbird 45.8... I use lightning and Provider for Google Calendar add-ons to link my thunderbird calendar to my google calendar. I was having a problem witha reminder coming up, and not being able to dismiss the event. So I decided to unsubscribe to all my calendars. So I unsubscribed to all calendars, restarted TB, and then went to add a new calendar from the File -> New -> Calendar sequence. It offers to add a network calendar, and so I choose network, and then google calendar. I have 2 separate gmail accounts. Then I input my gmail address for that calendar, and when it gives me a list of calendars to subscribe to, it populates the list of available calendars from my other gmail account, not from my first gmail account. I cannot get it to populate the list from my first gmail account. I tried to shut down TB, delete the calendar-data directory, and delete the storage.sdb directory, and then restart TB and run the sequence again to try and add back this calendar. But it is the same thing. It seems that tb is defaulting to some list of calendars in a configuration file somewhere, and so it is only looking at that one gmail account to get the list of calendars, and it is not looking at the other account. Anyone know how to reset it? If not, is there a TB forum that anyone knows of that might be able to offer more specific help on thunderbird? -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, I haven't had that issue yet... I use eGroupWare as the calendar backend, and have not had any issues (other than the mozilla version of Tbird wrongly suggesting a 45.8esr -> 52.0 upgrade with no GTK2 theme support which broke lightning in a version mismatch on downgrade requiring a complete lightning delete/reinstall) You have lighting 4.7.4 (for 45.8)? I would look at the mozilla lightning help pages (you probably already have that), or worst case, file a bug report, which I've usually found the mozilla devs fairly responsive to. (rant. 52.0 with the new version of lightning (5.2 IIRC) wouldn't be that bad if GTK3 didn't make it look like complete shit. You would think they would have the common sense to continue GTK2 theme support, since there is no technical reason not to) -- David C.
