GNOME Shell Google Calendar doesn't want to run on startup

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 850 / 2 Years ago, fri, september 2, 2022, 2:23:58

I installed GNOME Shell Google Calendar according to these instructions:
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/google-calendar-gnome-shell-integration.html

I also added gnome-shell-google-calendar.py to the startup applications. However the script doesn't want to run on startup and I have to manually run it each time I restart ubuntu.
Any ideas why it isn't working?

The script seems to have problems with loading the config.json-file while startup, when auto-started.

I worked around this by simply using the scripts --account argument.
Your cmd for 'Startup Applications' would then look like:

./gnome-shell-google-calendar.py [email protected].

Where [email protected] has to be set up in your Gnome Shell OnlineAccounts.

Update:

I Forgot about this here, but as of [2013-03-08] I consider this a
solution, since it's a built in feature (--account switch) and it's
just working fine this way.
