Description juha.heljoranta 2013-09-22 11:02:20 UTC

KOrganizer 4.10 worked OK. After upgrade to 4.11 it didn't show any recurring events at all.
Had to stab ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics manually to fix events.
I removed all RECURRENCE-ID lines. This fixed many recurring events.
Then there was some entries with:
COMMENT:NoStartDate
DTSTART:-4713010T000000
These where fixed by removing the COMMENT line and setting the DTSTART to have a VALUE like:
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100312

There are still probably some recurring events which are not show or they show incorrectly. e.g. only single event is shown but it is not recurring probably because RECURRENCE-ID was removed and there is no RRULE.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:44:36 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:48:01 UTC

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.
