CalDAV: Lose calendar entries on connection problems
If the CalDAV-connection to the server does not work well (e. g. behind a deep inspection device or proxy with no full CalDAV protocol support) the CalDAV entries in the calendar are lost when syncing. It would be fine if there would be a recovery of the old data set from before the sync try on failure. Otherwise you are not able to recover your data when you sit in a hotel with no other connectivity and you need your calendars :-( and automatic sync.
So switch to manual sync is the only help by now.
What version of the caldav sync plugin are you using (
devel-su -p pkcon get-details buteo-sync-plugin-caldav
)? This should have been fixed since version 0.1.24, unless there's some other bug lurking in the plugin which also causes this issue. Are you able to provide logs of a sync where this occurs?then in a different terminal:
then trigger sync. The second (journalctl) terminal should have useful logs - they may need redacting to remove personal information.
Thanks, Chris.
