Bug re:Google Calendar - Access blocked: KDE Event Calendar Widget’s request is invalid
Opened this issue · 47 comments
EDIT:
To those who end up here, @kanocz had submitted a pull request using golang to remedy our troubles! However, he recommends #345 since it doesn't require installing golang first. Check it out!
I've personally tested both methods on my system, and both work. For now, as per @kanocz's recommendation, I'm sticking with @gaganpreet's solution.
rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar sudo rm -rf /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar git clone https://github.com/gaganpreet/plasma-applet-eventcalendar eventcalendar cd eventcalendar git switch google-calendar-fix git pull sh ./installI will close the issue as soon as @Zren approves the pull request and merges.
And of course, thank you again @gaganpreet, @kanocz, and, of course, @Zren for working on this problem.
Hi @Zren,
Thanks for your work on this great widget.
I have a small problem with the Google Calendar integration. Upgraded from Kubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS recently.
Tried to sync my Google Calendar account with Event Calendar like I had set up on my previous version of the Kubuntu distro, and the following error was thrown after the applet launched my web browser.
I have v76 installed.

I went to my google account to make sure KDE wasn't already a Third-party app with account access, potentially causing an issue causing overlapping authentication parameters. Removed KDE, and tried again. Still threw the same error.
Any related open or closed issues in the repo to help me sus out a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

thanks for creating such as great widget hope it gets updated soon.
To anyone that ends up here, I was able to circumvent this by using an old access token (from a configuration file in a previous installation I had in my disk), previously granted tokens should still work
The configuration is in: ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
In there you can search for "Google Calendar" and paste the token information. Then log out and back in

@ksgremes Thanks for the tip! I'll try this out and see if it's successful!
Same here. It seems that google remove access to the oauth method use by this widget. This is the detailed message tht is shown to me:
Access blocked: Third-party app is using an unsupported OAuth method
Google has safe ways for users to sign in and share their Google Account data with third-party applications. To help protect your account, Google sign-in requests are blocked from apps with less secure authorization methods because they’re more vulnerable to phishing and app impersonation attacks.

Thanks for your help. In a previous installation I had in my disk with Manjaro, Event Calendar v.72 work with Google Calendar, but this token does not appear. Event Calendar is not the last version, and each version stores these data in a different way.

What is your Event Calendar's version?
Currently I'm using version 76. I assume that's what was on my disk before as it was a fairly recent install as well (but I cannot confirm it)

Thanks. I have two linux installations on my computer; Manjaro and Neon. In Manjaro runs Google Calendar in Event Calendar (EC) v.72, in Neon I had EC v.76, I removed the plasmoid in Neon and when I put it back I could not authenticate in Google... but in both distributions, my ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file does not reference any token.
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/resources/oob-migration
It looks like EventCalendar's method of getting auth has been deprecated.
As a quick fix till an appropriate upgrade from Zen, simply store suitable google credentials (client and token) in source file main.xml, and make a fresh installation. Happy installing.

What I would like to know should be something simple, and is where I locate the access token in my Manjaro, which has installed the Event Calendar v.72, to use it in my Neon Event Calendar v.76.
My access token is gone because of a plasma bug. Fix auth pls.

Please fix!
Repeatedly asking for a fix is not going to help anything. All it does is clutter the issue and annoy the developer.
Who has "Repeatedly" asked for a fix? They all look like separate people to me.
Collectively, repeatedly asking. It doesn't matter who
Same here. Ubuntu 22.04. Event calendar 76.
To those who end up here, @kanocz has submitted a pull request using golang to remedy our troubles (2 months ago)! Thank you, Anton!
Thank you very much, I somehow missed that pull request and issue #339.
We don't have to wait for this pull request to be accepted: simply first install golang and then go to https://github.com/kanocz/plasma-applet-eventcalendar, download the code, and install the new, working version of this widget.
I installed that version of the widget, but I'm still getting the same error with the Google Calendar request. :(
You have to do a clean install directly from the URL linked above, which to be clear is a different repository than the one you're currently in. It contains the bugfix which hasn't been pulled to this repo yet.
rm -r ./eventcalendar
git clone https://github.com/kanocz/plasma-applet-eventcalendar.git eventcalendar
cd eventcalendar
sh ./install
I know, I uninstalled the version I had and installed the new one. I can see it's the correct new one on the about page of the widget, but the issue is still present.
@shootie22 Maybe the previous version couldn't be uninstalled properly. To rule out this possibility, it might be a good idea to uninstall Event Calendar again, then look for "plugin=org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar" in "~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" which might appear like this:
[Containments][3][Applets][143]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar
Then (after first saving a backup of the file just in case) remove each and every section starting with the first line above (the numbers might be different), and ending with an empty line followed by another like this but with different numbers.
Thanks for your quick replies guys. It works! I was probably doing something wrong or it wasn't uninstalling completely. Hurray!
v68 looks like very-very old version for very-very old version of KDE... and it's too many changes made to easily backport this
It's a shame, thanks anyway.

for my solution you need to have golang installed... but you can find another solution from other person which is python-based so you don't need to install anything extra

@kanocz is correct; you need to install golang first.
EDIT:
@kanocz is correct; you need to install golang first.
Thank you. Everything works with GoLang, except one issue. If I attempt to select 'Tasks', the desktop environment becomes unresponsive. After a reboot, the desktop environment still remains unresponsive. Resetting the desktop environment is proving to be quite a challenge.

Oof, that's a tough problem to diagnose. System Monitor might be able to help which specific process is causing the issue, while you configure Event Calendar.
Also, I'm assuming you successfully removed the previous version of Event Calendar before cloning, building, and installing @kanocz 's fork?
rm -r ./eventcalendar
then...
git clone https://github.com/kanocz/plasma-applet-eventcalendar.git eventcalendar
cd eventcalendar
sh ./installThank you all for the work done to get event calendar working normally again. Is there any problem to update event calendar if a new version is released?

That would be up to @Zren to approve @kanocz's pull request, merge to the main branch, and create a new release. So far, @Zren hasn't commented on this issue.
@cocoepiblas EDIT: @Zren needs to test #345 and will merge when he's ready. @kanocz recommends this solution as opposed to his PR, since it doesn't require installing golang. I will update as details unfold.
I think #345 is better as it uses python script, so nothing additional need to be installed (python is installed by default opposite to golang)
Thanks guys! Installing @gaganpreet 's version as per @NeilPandya 's instructions, works well for me.
I am on Kubuntu 23.04
NeilPandya thank you very much for giving us this tip pinned at the top of the discussion, I'm still new to linux, I've only been using the various flavors for 1 year and at the moment I'm with Kde Neon. I love the Event Calendar widget, but unfortunately I was having trouble connecting with my Google account. The message was always the same: ACCESS DENIED. After I followed your command instructions in the linux terminal, I finally got the connection. I'm normally using the Event Calendar here. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Success for all of us !!! Hugs from Brazil !!! Eduardo Mendes
