Has anybody got write access working on their Google calendar through
lightning?
I'm using Ubuntu.. I installed the lightning-extension package using apt
-- the only way to get lightning to work at all in Ubuntu -- but then I
don't see an Ubuntu package for the gdata-provider extension. So I
download gdata-provider-0.4.xpi from the Mozilla 2.0 download page for
Linux, and add it on as usual. When I restart, I try File -> New ->
Calendar -> Network.. there is no "Google Calendar" which is supposed to
be there from screenshots I've seen. And, when I list the add-ons, the
gdata-provider says I'm "missing additional items" despite the fact that
I installed these packages: libgdata-google1.2-1,
libgdata-google1.2-dev, libgdata1.2-1, libgdata1.2-dev .
Anybody experience similar problems with gdata-provider + lightning in
Ubuntu?
