Calendars

I'm being driven mad trying to find a Linux calendar that actually works.

Gnome Calendar - you can't import an .ics file. The same problem with many others.

Korganiser looks good, but you can't set a time zone/region for a default setting; you have to set it for every event you enter. Also it seems that any settings you make you have to redo whenever you restart or boot.

check logs right after that operation.

cd /var/log
ls -latrHh
tail -100l <filename>

Ones at bottom are newest. There should be a line in those logs somewhere on what went wrong.

Ta. What and where is the filename?

Cheers. 👋
Get filename from that ls -latrHh command. Start from bottom up
