Bug 159822

Mandriva 2008.0, kde 3.5.9, kontact 1.2.9, korganizer 3.5.9.  I can confirm that while reminders set directly in korganizer work as expected, those set in the ToDo section do not work.

This is annoying. I'm on Gentoo, just installed Korganizer via portage.

One way around the problem, for me at least, is manually closing Korgac and then reopening it from CLI. Dialog and application reminders end up working, but still not audio, although I can get audio reminders by having an external application play the sound (mplayer, etc)

I don't think mine work regardless of where I set them.

Same here, neither todo list nor korganizer/calender work. 

And about my reply above, scrape it. What I thought was a work-around doesn't 'fix' work properly. It gets Korgac to give reminders, but they aren't on time (weird), audio doesn't work, and dialogs seem to double (2 dialogs instead of 1, when it's time for a reminder). 

Also, the message I type for the dialog on the advanced reminder options page doesn't show up in the reminder dialog. I should have looked into it more. Back to square one.

Reporters,

Are you setting a reminder against start date or against due date?

*** Bug 191785 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

SVN commit 975902 by smartins:

Reminders on to-dos didn't work most of the time because they were relative do start by default and many to-dos only have 
due-date.

Now, when you check the reminder box, if the to-do has a due date, it will be relative to end, if it only has start date it will be 
relative to start ( not allowed by UI yet ).

I'm not closing this bug yet, we should protect the advanced alarm editor so the user can't choose invalid "relative to" values, new 
strings needed.

I don't see the 'start date' as being the issue here.  If I want reminders I would normally set the start date about a week before the due date.  I have one such to-do active at the moment, and am not getting reminders.

Then we have two different problems to solve.

Anne, which kde version are you using?

My main laptop has 4.2.2 from Mandriva 2009.1.  The netbook has 4.2.85-4 for F10, from kde-fedora.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of korgac (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
