Ubuntu – way to add Google Calendar notifications to the indicator message applet

calendargoogle-calendarindicatormessaging-menu

Is there a way to have Google Calendar notifications through the message indicator applet without using Evolution? Something similar perhaps to "Gmailwatcher"?

Or

Is there a way to integrate Google Calendar with reminders into the calendar in ubuntu without evolution?

Thanks in advance!

Best Answer

You can try typing this in a terminal:

/usr/lib/evolution-webcal/evolution-webcal ICAL_PRIVATE_ADDRESS

(where ICAL_PRIVATE_ADDRESS is the ICAL Private URL of the Google Calendar you want to add)

It only opens a dialog to confirm you want to add this calendar without opening the whole Evolution window, nor the first-run dialog which forces you to add your e-mail account even if you don't intend to use it.

This works with the Gnome 2 calendar applet and I guess it works also for natty's calendar indicator, as it is based on Evolution's calendars. Let me know if it works or not.
