Cannot add CalDAV or Microsoft Exchange account in Merkuro Calendar

Help

1

I would like to use the Merkuro Calendar. However when I try to add DAV groupware resource or Microsoft exchange server, the dialogue window for entering the information quickly opens but then closes right away, and I’m not able to enter information of the account. The application itself does not crash. This is found in journalctl:

I tried to remove the akonadi config files in ~/.config/akonadi and restart but the result remained the same. The second file referenced in the log ~/.config/akonadi_davgroupware_resource_2rc does not even exist.

akonadictl status shows everything running.

A search on the log messages seems to provide no help. Any help is appreciated! :folded_hands:

The DAV connector (Akonadi CalDAV Resource) is crashing, though it is not clear why.

It could be an issue somehow triggered by Merkuro’s QtQuick UI, it could be something internal to the connector.

You could try adding it through KOrganizer (or Akonadi console) instead.

Excellent, thank you! The problem indeed seems to be with Merkuro Calendar, since adding the resource in Korganizer works just fine. Now I can also see and edit the events in Merkuro Calendar.

Ah, good to know.

Might be worthwhile to check if there is a bug report and add this information or creating one.

Seems other users have run into the same problem as well.

One of the many advantages of having shared data access infrastructure :slight_smile:
