Can you please give full details of which digital clock widget you are using, so that the bug can be tested with the same widget installed. Please bear in mind that I don't have an Archlinux installation. Thanks for reponse :-) Its the default digital clock widget, wich is in the panel. On click it shows the calendar events including birthdays. But its not sure, if this widget causes the problem. As i restart the hole System, without the clock widget, the reminderwindow does not popup. Maybe because kontact starts with the login? I will watch the behavior... But if i restart akonadi, the reminder popup will allways appear. Regardless of a running kontact or digital clock widget. Confusing... KDE 4.12 (In reply to comment #3) > KDE 4.12 In case of a question: Yes, its kde 4.12. But the missing reminder popup follows me for years... Today i boot the system twice and everytime the reminder window pops up at login (without the digital clock in panel). Things that happens: 1. Kontact/kmail starts up and i see that akonadi ins't running 2. akonadi starts 3. Reminderwindow pops up The reminder daemon is configured as "Enable reminders" and "Start reminder daemon at login" Additional info: If i add the digital clock and configure it to NOT show events, the reminderwindow pops up at login. It seems to me, that only the trigger to display the reminder window is'nt fired if akonadi runs befor the daemon runs. I think this, because in case of a akonadi restart, the reminder always pops up. Only guessed... Are you using KAlarm or KOrganizer/Kontact to set up the reminders? I am using KOrganizer/Kontact. This failure drives me crazy... When booting today, no reminder popup appears. Also when i logout/login. The only thing i did yesterday was to set the session from "Restore previous session" to "Restore manually saved session" A "akonadictl restart" in konsole: The reminder popup appears. So i changed the setting to "Restore previous session" again and logout/login. No change, no reminderpopup. I noticed that kontact/kmail starts very fast. So i decided to close kontact and logout/login... tadaaa: The reminder popup appears. Then i start kontact/kmail and logout login.... tadaaa: The reminder popup appears at login (before kontact/kmail starts). The behavior with the digital clock is allways the same: If the clock is set to show events, the reminder popoup will never show, regardless of a running kontact/kmail. As a dirty workaround, i wrote a script and run it at autostart: #!/bin/bash sleep 5 akonadictl restart With this script the reminderpopup appears regardless of showing events in the digital clock or in case of starting kontact/kmail at login or of "Restore manually saved session". But this script has a uggly sideeffect: The folderview in kmail is collapsed, so i must expand it to get the view of previous expanded kmailfolders. If i am the only one who have the failure of a "Reminder do not popup at login" this dirty script will at least make me not forgot some birthdays... 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. The reminder didn't work at all, regardless of which clock i am using. I am using KMail 5.3.0 and kf 5.25 (arch-linux). Maybe i do not really understand how the reminder works, or for which circumstances it would be useful, or it doesn't fit my needs. So this bug couldn't be confirmed by me anymore. Feel free to mark it as invalid. Thanks for all replies anyway :-) (In reply to Franky from comment #9) > Maybe i do not really understand > how the reminder works, or for which circumstances it would be useful, or it > doesn't fit my needs. Nevermind, you are not the only one who's confused/frustrated by reminders not popping up as expected. There's definitely something off. Forgotten: My solution with the script provided in comment 7 also doesn't work anymore. 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. |
