I just found out that in 13.10 there's an "add event" button in the calendar that drops down from the panel. Yet i couldn't figure out how to make it work? For me clicking it does nothing. Does it integrate with Google calendar or Lightning at all? What do I have to do to make it work? Or is this button just there to make it look functional?

I appreciate any help. Thanks! :)

You need to install evolution for the add event option in the calendar to work. Run: sudo apt-get install evolution

    Calendar is integrated to EDS. Any event exists in EDS(evolution-data-server) appears in calendar drop-down menu. EDS is installed by default. You can create an event in eds by programming or syncing google-calendar with with eds using syncevolution OR using a gtk/gui app Evolution. Evolution is just the font-end,it is not necessary.

  • great. I have used evolution as a gui to set up the sync with gcal and then uninstalled it. How could I access EDS without installing evolution first? Does that work via the Terminal?
