Entries in calendar existing but not visible

Asked by Patrick Stockem

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 since a few days now.

I realised today that in the calendar no entries are visible.
For a very short moment they were visible while klicking around.
Using the google calendar I see also that the entries created with evolution are existing (via the online account).
I do not get any error messages when creating an entry.

What ist going wrong with my calendar entries? How can I find out more?

Any help is appreciated.

kind regards
Patrick

- right click on the calendar > "Save as ..."
- save it on the desktop as calendar.ics
- edit calendar.ics

All events begin by "BEGIN:VEVENT" and finish by "END:VEVENT".
Do you see your events ?

All entries are listed in the saved ics file, but they are not visible in the evolution calendar.
Today I also got a reminder on a test item

Ok, i think it's a bug.
Try to backup your settings, then delete and recreate your calendar.

Wait a minute, did you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleCalendarWithEvolution ?

Issue solved :)

I followed the ideas mentioned before (recreating the calendar), this did unfortunately not help.
Then I uninstalled Evolution and reinstalled it - since then it works fine.

Maybe an idea for the reason of the issue, but not proven:
After getting the first test entries into the calendar, I was looking around, testing the evolution environment.
During this I also had a look at the filter settings. I remember now that this was the point where I run into the issue. Even switching back the filters, no calender entries were visible anymore. Now after reinstalling Evolution, this does not happen anymore...

Thanks a lot to BabyGeek for the ideas and help.
