Description Neal Becker 2009-01-15 16:56:34 UTC
Version:           4.2 rc1 (using 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)), 4.1.96-5.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64

As description says.  After updating to latest RC, it seems 'display reminder' is broken.

Is the korgac program running ? If yes, is the "Enable reminders" box checked ?

Yes, ps aux | grep korgac
nbecker  10834  0.1  1.6 430780 33332 ?        S    10:07   0:07 /usr/bin/korgac -icon korgac

Yes, right click on korganizer reminder daemon icon in systray has 'enable reminders' checked.

there just isn't enough information here to debug with.

Neal, can you create a test appt with a reminder. say an hour from now.
if the reminder doesn't display, then send me the relevant event from your std.ics file in .kde/share/apps/korganizer.

I need all the lines between the starting BEGIN:VEVENT and the END:VEVENT in the std.ics file.  It helps to give the test appt a strange summary like "FOOBAR" to make searching in your std.ics file a little easier.

This event, which I added at 8:50 and set for 9:15 should have sent a reminder at 9:00, but nothing happened:

hmm.. I don't see anything obviously wrong there.
works here, of course.

I wonder if your korgacrc got borked somehow.

Maybe try:
1) quit kontact (or korganizer)
2) kill korgac
3) mv ~/.kde/share/config/korgacrc ~/.kde/share/config/korgacrc.save
4) start kontact (or korganizer)

and then try the reminder experiment again.
Comment 7 Neal Becker 2009-01-16 16:31:58 UTC
Hey, I have a better idea - why don't _you_ try that experiment :)  Seriously, though, when I restarted korg, it apparantly tried to send reminders for every event that ever occurred.  I killed knotify4 when it was using 14G VM!

Anyway, I did the experiment and now I did get the notification.

so I'll close for now.
Neal, please re-open if you experience this bug again in KDE 4.2.0
