Description rusconi 2015-08-13 11:44:10 UTC

KAlarm
Version 2.10.11-ak
Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.2

I cannot seem to have the KAlarm program displayed in the systray. This is paralleled by the fact that KAlarm used to go there when closing (not quitting) its main window. This is no more true: closing the window ends the corresponding process.

Reproducible: Always

I'm seeing this bug as well, after upgrading to Fedora 22, which has KDE 5.  Several other applications are exhibiting the same symptom on the new system.  Apparently Plasma 5 removed support for an old API for interacting with the tray area.  Could kalarm be using that older API?

Qt: 5.4.2
KDE Frameworks: 5.13.0
kde-plasma: 5.3.95
KAlarm: 2.11.0-5ak

First time starting Kalarm it will just close upon clicking "X"
After starting Kalarm a second time, it will show up in the system tray.

You're right!  That's how it behaves for me too.  How odd.  Good to know, though.  Thanks.

Unfortunately, these tricks didn't help here...

Comment 5 George L. Emigh 2015-08-20 20:16:28 UTC

I'm on Gentoo, I just upgraded to KDE Applications 15.08.0, I no longer have to put KAlarm in the startup scripts, and it starts itself on login to my Desktop.

YMMV

Same issue for me (no system tray icon, process dies on quitting window).

What I have noticed is that the option View->Show in System Tray is greyed out. If one quits Kalarm and manually restarts it the option View->Show in System Tray is now available.

Version 2.11.7-5ak
This bug seems to not show up anymore. For me, you can close it.
Thank you for this useful program.

Thanks for the update; closing.
