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.

Have you put correct directory for command at Startup Application?

From the tutorial, the folder will be at /home/user/gnome-shell-google-calendar

So in command you should put like this :

/home/user/gnome-shell-google-calendar/gnome-shell-google-calendar.py

Change user to your username
