Does someone know how to repair / permanently fix the problem of duplicate / corrupted entries in the gnome clock? These instructions reset the gnome-calendar, but minutes later the problem returns.

UPDATE

This problem was being caused by a webcalenar that I had imported into thunderbird lightning via a provided url. The moment I deleted the calendar and rebooted, my machine returned to 100% working order.

I consider this a TEMPORARY solution, as I actually do need the to have the calendar in my ubuntu. So I will try different ways of importing the calendar to see if the problem comes back.

Preliminarily, I think the problem may have something to do with language encoding of the calendar as it is being provided by a China based company and as far as I know Ubuntu should be compatible with icalendar files.

Symptoms:
1.) Slows down entire performance of gnome shell.
2.) Causes intermittent freezing, requiring reboot

This is the problem: enter image description here

But after I run sudo rm -r ~/.config/evolution/sources the clock looks like this:

Clearly its not practical to run sudo rm -r ~/.config/evolution/sources every 10 minutes.

Anyone have a more permanent solution?
thx

Let's call this a "semi-answer".

It appears that gnome-calendar does not like iCalendars imported via thunderbid/lightning (68.0).

Instead, I directly imported the icalendar (url) via the gnome-calendar app and now everything seems to work flawlessly. No duplicate entries, so slow desktop boot, etc.. Just a perfectly functioning fresh install of 20.04
