[SOLVED] Events in the date display?

[greenster]

There’s an ‘Events’ section in the date display on the control bar. Can you display your appointments from Google Calendar there?

You need to install kdepim-addons, then enable calendar events in the clock widget's settings, under the Calendar section.

Then you need to install KOrganizer to add the Google Calendar(s) you want: right-click on the blank white box on the bottom left of the window that may list a birthday and a personal calendar and select Add Calendar, then Google Groupware. You may need a reboot or logout after installing Korganizer if you get an error when opening it.

Then you should be able to go back to the clock settings and select the calendars.

Thank you very much for these helpful instructions. However, I’ve forgotten my Keyring password. How can I reset it and set a new one?

Try using the Password that you use when signing into your desktop.

Unfortunately, the password for logging in is a different one.

I’ve forgotten my Keyring password.

Do you mean your Kwallet password? A keyring reference is usually associated with Gnome's ....keyring and should not normally be used by KOrganizer on a KDE system, so I am just checking.

Unfortunately, the password for logging in is a different one.

A different one from what?

Normally, the OS is set up to use your login password as your kwallet password, and it is unlocked automagically when you log in.
but this gets broekn if you change your user password, or enable autologin.

You can change your Kwallet password in System Settings >> KDE Wallet >> Launch Wallet Manager

I changed my login password, and Kwallet then updated the password accordingly.

I was able to successfully add Google Calendar to K Calendar, but there is still no corresponding entry in the date settings.

still no corresponding entry in the date settings.

You may need a reboot

Not sure what needs to be restarted to get the clock to see it. Restarting the akonadi server manually did not do it for me, but it was there after my next reboot.

Your excellent guide has really set me on the right track. 🎉🥳

I use the built-in calendar in the Vivaldi browser. It’s synchronised with Google Calendar.

I was able to save this Vivaldi calendar as an .ics file.

I was then able to import this .ics file into K-Kontact. 😊

And now I can see my appointments in the calendar on the date display. 🍀

Thank you all so much for your professional and helpful replies. 😊
