MODIFICATION_FAILED?

[Wei Weng]

hi all.

After upgrading my ubuntu hardy to intrepid, a new bug has been
bugging me for a few days.

I can no longer "dismiss/dismiss all" a popup notification, I always
get a MODIFICATION_FAILED error message.

This error is found in my error console (From thunderbird)

Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: Wei Weng.
However, this error is believed to be minor, so the program will
attempt to continue. Error code: 0x80004005. Description: A request

I am using all the latest (stable release) of lighting, provider, and
thunderbird. (I diligently upgrade all my addons as early as
possible). What is wrong???

Thanks
Wei

The error you are getting shows up when the event has been modified on
the server. I currently have no conflict handling code since I'd like
to see general mechanisms to do so in core code. All you need to do is
reload the remote calendars and try your changes again.

I've just started using Google Calendar, and installed the provided so
I could integrate with Lightning. However, I'm getting the same error
as below. I first notice it when trying to dismiss things, but it
actually gives it if I try to do *any* write operations to the
calendar. Any ideas?

[s.barnet...@googlemail.com]

For extra info, here's the last couple of errors I got, from the Error
Console:

Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: Google.

However, this error is believed to be minor, so the program will
attempt to continue. Error code: 0x80004005. Description: A request

Not sure which, or even if both, are related to the problem.

[s.barnet...@googlemail.com]

For further clarification: I get the error on attempts to dismiss
alarms, add events, edit events. I do not get the error when I delete
an event.

The deletion works completely fine.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. This is extremely annoying
with the Notifications since I can't dismiss them they just keep
poping up over and over. It also seems I can't do anything that
updates the calendar. Some events that have been deleted through the
browser are still showing up in Lightining.

For me it started happening last week and I don't remember if I did
any updates at the time.

I'm running on Windows XP with the latest versions of FF, TB, Lighting
and Provider for Google Cal.

I really like this extension and have become dependent on it. But I
really need a fix for this problem to continue using it.

Thanks,
Mario

[s.barnett.cormack]

I'm beginning to assume, given the lack of response, that developers aren't taking an interest in this problem.

[m...@maxscholz.com]

Got the same issue here on Mac OS X.
I guess google changed something around their structure, since there
was no update of GDATA - or did i miss it?

[s.barnett.cormack]

Except it seems plenty of people are using the provider with no problem...

[maxscholz]

Allright... after I resetted my password in thunderbird and a restart,
everything works great again.
Maybe just a problem submitting the passwort to google?

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem.
Resetting password and get the Google Data Provider to ask for the
password did not help for me.

Any solution, please?

[Philipp Kewisch]

Bad Request body doesn't look so good.

Please add some more debugging, enable the calendar.debug.log as shown
in the FAQ and look for the last occurrence of "Setting Upload Data"
just before that error message.

yam,

please make sure you use the full URL, it could be that Google is not
accepting it without www.

Try: https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/$username%40gmail.com/private/full
as your calendar URL.

Hi,

I'm getting this same error - I try to edit an event in Lightning/
Sunbird/Thunderbird plugin and I get an error saying:

An error occurred when writing to the calendar AccelerEyes!

with details:

ERROR number: MODIFICATION_FAILED

Here is the output of the error log:

I am getting the same error "MODIFICATION_FAILED" on mac. This is a
solution to this ?

Thunderbird 3.0b1
Lightning 1.0pre (Updated to nightly builds released every day)
Provider for Google Calendar 0.6pre

I was earlier able to update and work with Google Calendar,
modifications were working until 2-3 days, when it all started to fall
apart. Now i can't update any calendar from inside thunderbird :(

[Eduardo Diaz - Gmail]

Anandi, there is any reason to use the beta of all products?, is not
more easy use the stable?? :-) regards!

2009/1/15 Anandi <anan...@gmail.com>:

[suma]

Ok, I resolve it.
In calendar property i have disabled the readonly option

The matter is if ic try to delete an event on google calendar and you
have this option on.

John,

what kind of event is this? Was it once an invitation maybe? Are you
getting this error for all your events?

FYI: I hope this helps some of you.

I had the same error message i.e. MODIFICATION_FAILED and the error
message from Google in the error log (after setting
calendar.debug.log=true) was something about 'name' should not be
empty.

Is anyone else having issues opening up the calendar on here?? I don't

HELP!

Hi, I cant get this to work for love or money...

can you give an idea of what precisely goes in each field? I have
tried every combination I can think of, but had no luck

I am editing in Notepad, could it be that is screwing up the
formatting?

Cheers!

Look at:

It's not provider problem.

It's working now.
