[Software] Kaddressbook not adding google contacts

#1 Post by nonviotale »

Good evening to all.

I am having a problem with Kaddressbook. I am trying to add my Google contacts. I am opening the Kaddressbook->right click on address books -> add new address book -> select google groupware -> Firefox opens up -> inserting my username and password -> allow managing my contacts and calendars. I press ok, but contacs are not showing up. Even though the calendar is added to Korganizer. Kmail does not have any problem adding the same account for mails.
I am on testing, but i had the same problem with stable as well. The integration of kaddressbook with Google contacts is working fine on KDE neon, Manjaro KDE, siduction, Fedora KDE spin. Am I missing any packages? Do i have to take any further steps to make my contacts show up on Kaddressbook?

Moved to Testing/Unstable subforum.

Did you ever get this sorted? I assume it's because this package, even on Testing, is rather outdated.

Apparently, you need another package called, "akonadi-kde-resource-googledata". I could not locate in the stable repository.
See, https://userbase.kde.org/Working_with_Google_Contacts
