Ubuntu Focal update of broken Calibre package
Hi all, I checked Calibre in Groovy (version 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1) and it works fine. As per bug report #1898904 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/1898904/comments/7), Calibre >=4.15 has the required patch. So, instead of waiting for 5.2, can we backport current Groovy version of Calibre to Focal? Regards, Sai Unfortunately, Calibre 5.x requires SIP 5 and PyQt5 that is built against SIP 5. Moving PyQt5 to the new SIP is a major transition, that happened in Debian recently (two weeks ago) and did not happen in Ubuntu yet because of freeze. This requires changes in many packages simultaneously: at least pyqt5, pyqt5charts, pyqt5webengine, qscintilla2, calibre, python-poppler-qt5, veusz, krita and qgis. I am planning to land this change early in Groovy+1 cycle. > Is the above (update to 5.2.0) possible in Ubuntu Focal, and if yes, > what kind if steps are necessary? So for Focal and Groovy we need a version of Calibre that still uses SIP 4. Last such version in Debian was 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1, Groovy already has that. If you know some specific fixes, maybe they can be applied on top of what Focal or Groovy has. -- Dmitry Shachnev -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: iCal support?
I've only seen ICS file support in various specific mail/calendar clients. Which mail client(s) or calendar clients are you using?

You can possibly even integrate Google directly via Settings > Online Accounts and it should show up in Evolution (haven't tried it personally and mileage may vary). I've used Thunderbird + Lightning in the past, but Evolution has really great support for Calendars, Contacts, Tasks and Notes. If you've used Evolution in the past and didn't like it (yes, there was a time even for me), they've done a great job and works 99% of the time without issues. Hope this helps and best of luck! -- Support the GNU in GNU/Linux: https://my.fsf.org/join?referrer=184942 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
iCal support?
Hi, any idea when Ubuntu will have decent ICS support? I am talking about easy creating and sharing events via ICS files. You know, things, that normal business people do every day.

I can see calendar entries, but I don't know how to send other people an invitation mail with ICS file attachment. It seems that KOrganizer can send email invitation for single event as an ICS file, but unfortunately KOrganizer in my Ubuntu does not want to send emails with some weird error (cannot connect to D-BUS something...). BTW, when I receive ICS attachment, Thunderbird shows me event, I can even accept the event, but I am really missing an option, that event will be added to my Google calendar (in my case it is added to local calendar in thunderbird, which means it is not synchronized with phone).
