Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

I have gnome and evolution 2.32 and clock applet is not displaying evolution appointments as it did to previous versions. I think is a bug.
Does anyone have this problem?

It works fine here. Displays birthdays and appointments as expected.

Could I be missing some dependencies or configuration?

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

I did a clean install and I have the same problem... any ideas?

Later: on the kids pc after the update it works. It must be some packages I have not installed/witch the new gnome or gnome-extra (vers 2.32) skips. any idea witch one?

Does anyone have any idea what package could be missing? I did another clean (net install this time) and still clock applet does not show appointments.

Can confirm, happens to me as well, no help at #evolution@GimpNet or in #archlinux@Freenode.
I can't see your screenshot, but what I get:
I see the days with appointments in black, but I see no extra info like I used to see.

exactly this is the problem.

Later: I found that it works with google calendar ... (on my kids pc I had google calendar) so it must be a bug

I couldn't even get it work with removing all the directories I found with:
find ~/ -name "*evolution*"

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

Seems to be an upstream bug since is present in fedora 14 too.

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

Same Problem here on 64 bit, are you 64 bit? is your kid's pc 32 bit?

The reason I ask is there is also a problem with the Gnome About Me application in 64 bit only, and it might have something to do with About Me integration with eds(evolution data server) I assume the calender uses eds as well, so maybe there is a connection.

My Laptop and the kids pc are on 32 bit, and I tested on fedora livecd 32 bit.

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

I can confirm this. I have the same problem.
I've been having quite a few problems with evolution lately, especially with calendars and tasks.
I've managed to solve them all, except this one, with gconf-editor.

offtopic: for taks I would recommand gtg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24584 is much better than evolution

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

That's really off topic, because we are not talking about evolution, but actually about the gnome clock applet.

Not sure if it's related, but I've just noticed that the "New mail notification" plugin is not working either...

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

No, because it's Arch only, at least it works for me in other distros, here I can't even make it work if I create a new profile (remove everything).

works on with other distro? ubuntu? ubuntu has evolution 2.30 ... so it may not has the upstream bug from 2.32, while on fedora this bug is present.

*edit*

I "fixed" this bug by using google calendar

Re: Gnome clock applet not displaying evolution appointments

At lest you can see your clock. Mine disappeared from the top panel and while it still is shown in the applet list, when i drag it onto any panel, nothing happens.

Did gnome show you some message about error loading applet?
