[SOLVED] Evolution problem with Google-Calendar

Hi everybody.

I woke up today (as any other day) and tried to Sync my Google Calendars with Evolution in GNOME, but... nothing happened. I can't create new events (from Evolution) and when i try to sync them, shows this error in the console:

(evolution:15259): e-data-server-ui-WARNING **: Keyring key is unusable: no user or host name
libgdata-Message: Unhandled XML in GDataCalendarCalendar: <gd:where valueString="Bogotá"/>
libgdata-Message: Unhandled XML in GDataCalendarCalendar: <gd:where valueString="Bogotá"/>

What do you guys think it could be?

Thanks in advance,
Jaime

EDIT:
Both updating GNUTLS to the 3.0.18 version or upgrading Evolution solved the problem.

Yes, i have tried that and it solves the problem (temporally). The answer: downgrading gnutls from latest version 3.0.17-1 to the previous ont 3.0.15-1. Now, let's wait until there's a full solution upstream.

Thank you for your help,
Jaime

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution problem with Google-Calendar

I have the same problems with Evolution calendar using Google calendar:
- Gnome shell calendar would not show the entries
- Trying to add a new entry would fail

Now I downgraded from gnutls-3.0.17 to gnutls-3.0.15, and it seems to work better, but not perfect:

- when adding a new appointment to the calendar i get the error message:

Cannot create calendar object: Calendar does not exist

- however, the entry is correctly saved in Google calendar

- Evolution shows the newly added entry only after restart

Another big problem with the Evolution mail was soved after the downgrade :

send mail by smtp via a ssh tunnel

This did not work with gnutls-3.0.17 and works fine with gnutls-3.0.15

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution problem with Google-Calendar

I just upgraded gnutls to the latest version (3.0.18) and it seems the problem's gone. Is it just me or anybody else is having the same problem with that version?

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution problem with Google-Calendar

For me upgrade to 3.0.18 did not help. I have exactly the same behavior as @sipik described (same error message + no events in shell calendar). But problem seems to be somewhere else. On my second machine I have the same error message but this is Fedora 16 with some ancient gnutls 2.12 (however I see events in shell calendar).

I'm using thunderbird + lightning on a daily basis and I never had any problems with google calender there (so it's no account issue).

I have just tested downgrading to 2.12.7-2, 3.0.14-1 and 3.0.15-1. Version 2.12 breaks calendar in evolution completely. 3.0.14 and 3.0.15 gives the same error message and behavior as 3.0.18, but at least I see events in shell calender.
