I'm running Debian/Buster on an amd64 system.
I am trying to add another google calendar to my
Korganizer/Kontact calendar. I already have one google
calendar for personal affairs and have created another
calendar for a group I belong to. Since it uses a different
(not gmail) e-mail address, I went into the calendar view in
Kontact and right-clicked on the calendar list panel then
selected Add Calendar (also available as "settings | configure
Korganizer").
I chose "Google Calendars and Tasks" from the list of calendar
types, which brought up another dialogue with the title bar
reading "Google Calendars and Tasks (not configured) of type
Google Calendars and Tasks" It shows my personal gmail address
as the only entry in the pulldown.
When I click the Add button in the accounts panel, it brings
up a second dialogue asking me to:
Sign in
Continue to Akonadi Resources for Google Services
and prompting me for my e-mail or phone. When I fill in the
e-mail address for the new calendar I want to add, it takes me
to another dialogue to enter my password, then finally to a
dialogue telling me
Akonadi Resources for Google Services wants to
Manage your contactsMore info
Manage your calendarsMore info
Manage your tasks
When I click on Allow, it takes me to yet another dialogue
telling me to sign in, with a message "Please copy this code,
switch to your application and paste it there", followed by a
very long code.
At this point I am stumped. I'm already in my application and
the dialogue is blocking me from doing anything else in it. If
I copy the code and close the dialogue, there is nothing to
indicate where to paste the code.
Googling the problem hasn't located anything helpful. The
presence of the code dialogue isn't mentioned anywhere.
I did find a mention of KWallet which seems to be what is
creating the problem. When I look through KWallet, I find that
it contains an entry in Folders | Akonadi Google (1) | Maps
for my personal gmail address, with 3 name-value pairs
(accessToken, refreshToken and scopes). While the code I
copied (above) looks like a refreshToken (correct length), and
the scopes seems to be generic, I don't have an accessToken
(which is very long).
Creating a new Maps entry for my group's calendar account, I
manually created the various names and p[asted the
refreshToken's value. I also copied the scopes value from my
personal account's map. That isn't sufficient to give me
access to the Google calendar however. Copying the
accessToken's value from my personal account to the group one
just gives me a second access to my personal calendar, which
Korganizer sort of handles. This suggests that what I need is
an accessToken for the group's calendar.
Removing the (faulty) group calendar and reloading my personal
calendar and things are back to where I started.
Any ideas on how to get the second Google calendar added?
After 4 months without a reply, I'm hoping someone can come up
with an answer now, since I've been seeing messages since November
saying that kdepim works. Unfortunately I note that kdepim on
Buster seems to be back at 16.04.3.
Obviously at some point adding Google calendars worked since I
have one and have no recollection of it being in any way
difficult. However I still can't add a second Google calendar.
Even the arcane procedure I listed above continues to produce the
same results.
Can anyone offer any assistance?
Hi, you can share the calendar from your group account to your
personal account, then use your group calendar directly from your
personal account in korganizer.

I've just noticed the problem is worse than I thought. I have events on
my main Google calendar that aren't showing up on Kontact and others
that are showing up wrong. This makes me believe that my main calendar
hasn't been synched with Google for a couple of months (the date I last
added an event that shows up on both Google and Kontact). I can't get it
too resync manually either.
This means that sometime after I first reported the problem, my main
Google calendar has stopped synching and now Kontact is really pretty
useless. I have to use either my phone or a web browser to check my
calendar....
Can anyone offer some advice on how to make this work?
