Using Tbird 17.0 and the current version of Lightning (I do not know how to find the version number). I have a Lightning calendar syncing to my main Google calendar and a Lightning calendar syncing to my wife's main Google calendar. These have been working for many months.

Today my wife created a new (secondary) Google calendar. I then created a Lightning calendar to sync to the new Google calendar. When I created the Lightning calendar using CalDav and the Google calendar's private address, Lightning did not prompt me for a username and password for the new calendar. A yellow warning triangle appears to the right of the calendar name with the message "Calendar xxx is momemtarily not available". What must I do to fix this? Thanks.

Google has changed the CalDAV protocol on September 16th.

For *Thunderbird + Lightning* here is the explanation and the solution:
http://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/

You need the new versions TB 24 and LI 2.6 and you have to change the CalDAV address to access your calendar(s).

Unfortunately not all glitches have been ironed out so far. For some (including me) the sync is still not working due to remaining inconsistencies that the Lightning team is currently working on.

I have not been able to make this work. I have both TB 24 and L 2.6. I
copied the location string, so I am sure that is correct. The calendar
shows the same yellow triangle warning icon as the now defunct CalDAV
string.

If anyone has this working, could you post the steps you took?

Bill
