Well I couldn't figure out how to import Google Calendar into the application (there's no where that I could find to input Google Calendar's .ics address?). So I went about it in a round about way, I have Windows Calendar set to receive my Google Calendar in a read-only state. From there I saved it to an .ics and transfered it to my tablet. Tried importing it, no events showed up and I have a bunch of lines in a log that I could put here (gotta navigate here on my tablet first).

No real good ideas on what is going on, but some diagnostics to try. Open an xterm on your NIT and try the following:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.python
rm -f calend_data.dat calend_pref.dat to_do.dat
/usr/bin/calend
The rm command deletes the data files used by the apps, in case somehow there is a corrupted one preventing them from loading. The last command starts calend manually. If you see any interesting error messages with the last command that may help debug this issue.
Other items of interest:
dpkg -l python2.5 # to find your python version
The firmware version of your device, gotten via Settings->Control Panel->About product. Should look something like:
Version: 2.2007.51-3
deleting the data files did nothing, starting calend manually did not return an error message.
Python version: 2.5.1-losso6
Firmware: 2.2007.50-2
Might be time to update firware and reinstall.

One last thing to check... please see if there is anything interesting in this file:
/home/user/.logs/calend.log

dpkg -l python2.5-gtk2
Mine is version 2.12.1-1osso2. What is yours? Perhaps upgrading that package will correct it for you.

Sweet, successfully imported my GCal .ics to Calend
Is there a way to edit the week view / create a new view for a "Work Week" ie M-F?
Also, is there an easy way to clean up the Datebook6 Note codes?
Thanks

I used DateBk5 and wrote a script to clean up those note codes. It will likely work for DateBk6 too. I ran the script on my Linux desktop. Read carefully the part about floating events. The script will strip out floating events and convert them to todos. Neither calend nor Gene Cash's to_do program can import todos. I think you have 3 reasonable options:
- Depending on how many you have you could contemplate manual entry of your floating events.
- Use GPE Todo, which can import todos. Unfortunately calend and GPE Todo do not exchange data. So todos created in calend will still go to Gene Cash's to_do manager, but your other imported todos would be in GPE Todo. A final note on GPE Todo... to import todos you must use GPE calendar, which will populate the GPE todo database.
- Change the script to not change vevents to vtodos. If calend sees a "category" field on a vevent, it considers it a todo. So you should keep or add categories to the floating events, and strip categories from everything else. Then when you import into calend, choose "Yes" to the dialog that asks "Make events with categories into TODOs?". You may need to first ensure that the correct categories are created in Gene's to_do app first.
The script depends on the python vobject library, which can be installed on Ubuntu with 'apt-get install python-vobject'. The home page is here if you need to run it on a different platform, e.g. the NIT.

rbrewer123, how do I copy and paste the log to here? I open the log and highlight it but it won't let me copy and paste. When I have time I'll connect my iGo bluetooth keyboard and see if I can copy it then,
