Very nice tutorial.
Still wished for a more integrated solution in kontact …

The workaround for “Login failed” issue is here:

It worked for me: Ubuntu 9.10 with Java6

Hi,

I had the same annoying issue with the contacts. After reading your posts I just changed “xyz@googlemail.com” to “xyz@gmail.com” and restarted gcaldaemon. 5 seconds later I had all contacts in my work folder.

Hope you get the same result.

I have the same problem as above for contacts.
Interestingly if I use my username@gmail.com (personal e-mail) it works fine.

When I use my work google apps domain, that is when I get the same error as above
java.lang.Exception: Login failed (check username/password)!

user: username@mydomain.com (custom google apps domain)
password: (encrypted password for this domain user)

I have the same issue connecting to the contacts on my google aps account. I am using java 1.5 on Ubuntu with GCal 1.0 Beta 16. User name and password were cut and pasted in the config file and checked hundred times. However the error protists.

… shows html of login page a few times…

Anyone have an issue with the contacts not getting downloaded? I used the GUI tool to config everything, the calendar works great, but the contacts fail with the following error:

It looks like the username/password is incorrect, but they were set to the same value by the config tool. If I run the password encryption script it also spits out the same password for both the calendar and the contacts.

Hi there

it works great for me, however I wonder if there’s a way to also sync the birthdays/anniversaries from kaddressbook that show in korganizer?

Thanks. This was too easy. Now I’m ready for Android.
