Ever since Thunderbird+Lightning offers immediate bilinear contact with Google Calendar, I have been using it. But there seems to be a problem in my Ubuntu 14.04 installation: Google provider is not working. In fact, Lightning is not allowing me to connect to my Google Calendar account whatsoever!

So when trying to configure my Google calendars, I first try to add a network calendar, then I pick Google:

At this stage I would hope for the "location" input to disappear so that I could use an open session. This is how it works in my other Thunderbird settings (in a Fedora and Mac I have at work) and is how I wanted it to work in the first place. But as it is not working, I then proceed to input my email address, but alas:

As you can see it does not accept it, and so I cannot use the Lightning extension.

I'm running:

⠀Thunderbird 31.40

⠀Lightning 3.3.4

⠀Google provider 0.32
