Which distribution are you using?

which version of rsibreak?

compiled yourself or not?

Did you run the old (kdelibs4-based) version?

Are you checking the "Don't show again" checkbox on the welcome message?

Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
Distribution is Ubuntu 16.04LTS
Rsibreak version is 0.12
Installed from packages
I'm not sure about kdelibs4-based version, but in about tab I see "KDE Frameworks 5.18.0" and "Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)".
I'm checking this checkbox everyday but it doesn't helps :(
I also tried to just close the window without checking the checkbox - results are the same.
Also please note that I have all latest updates installed...

With "Did you run the old (kdelibs4-based) version?" I meant if this is the first time you run rsibreak or you had run it in the past?

that is, is there a file in ~/.kde/share/config/rsibreakrc ?

Are you running plain  Ubuntu 16.04LTS ? Or you have enabled some ppa¿

No, I used it before on ubuntu 14.04LTS, then system was upgraded to 16.04LTS.

Sorry, I can't check that PC cause It's in office and I'm on vacation till Tuesday. But I replicated the same behaviour on my home pc that was too upgraded from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS by just installing rsibreak from packages.

I have 2 additional repos enabled at home: Canonical partners and http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu (for pidgin tray icon). I believe that at work repos should be the same... Disabling them and run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade didn't helped.

This is *very* strange, I am running Ubuntu 16.04LTS too and it works fine.

Are you using this under Plasma or under Unity or some other desktop environment?

I'm using it under default Unity that comes with Ubuntu 16.04LTS

That makes no sense, it should work fine.

Can you please check the permissions of ~/.config/rsibreakrc ?

what is the ouput of 
ls -l ~/.config/rsibreakrc
?

and what is the output of
whoami
?

Output are:
v.breslavskyi@daemon:~$ ls -l ~/.config/rsibreakrc
-rw------- 1 v.breslavskyi v.breslavskyi 497 May 27 10:16 /home/v.breslavskyi/.config/rsibreakrc

and whoami says:
v.breslavskyi@daemon:~$ whoami
v.breslavskyi

This is all very strange.

More things to try.

Please do this:

stop rsibreak

move ~/.config/rsibreakrc away
   mv ~/.config/rsibreakrc ~/.config/rsibreakrc.backup

Now start rsibreak with strace saving to a file (make sure you have strace installed)
   strace rsibreak &> ~/strace_output

On the "welcome" dialog, check the "Don't show again" and press the "OK" button

Close rsibreak from the system tray.

Attach the ~/strace_output file to this bug.

Strace rsibreak

daimon@daemon:~$ ps aux |grep rsibreak
daimon    3144  0.0  0.0  14228  1024 pts/1    S+   16:10   0:00 grep --color=auto rsibreak
daimon@daemon:~$ mv ~/.config/rsibreakrc ~/.config/rsibreakrc.backup
daimon@daemon:~$ strace rsibreak &> ~/strace_output
daimon@daemon:~$

Also I did noticed some strange behaviour - when I moved config and started rsibreak, used "do not show" checkbox and exited - config file was not created.
It creates config if I for example change breaks timings but not create it when I'm using checkbox...

I think i know what's wrong.

Do you have the frameworkintegration package installed? Can you check if installing it fixes the problem?

Yes!
I've installed it and it finally solved the problem!.
Now config file are created if I use "do not show" checkbox, there is 2 lines in it:

daimon@daemon:~$ cat /home/daimon/.config/rsibreakrc
[Notification Messages]
dont_show_welcome_again_for_001=false

Huge thank you for your help!

If I understand it right, this dependency was absent in package requirements... ?

If yes, how can I help to fix this package ? Find It's maintainer and write to him ?

Current dependencies are:

Reverse Depends: 
  rsibreak:i386,rsibreak
Dependencies: 
4:0.12.1-1 - libc6 (2 2.14) libkf5configcore5 (2 4.97.0) libkf5configgui5 (2 4.97.0) libkf5configwidgets5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5coreaddons5 (2 5.2.0) libkf5dbusaddons5 (2 4.97.0) libkf5i18n5 (2 4.97.0) libkf5iconthemes5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5idletime5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5notifications5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5notifyconfig5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5textwidgets5 (2 5.0.0) libkf5widgetsaddons5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5windowsystem5 (2 4.96.0) libkf5xmlgui5 (2 4.96.0) libqt5core5a (2 5.5.0) libqt5dbus5 (2 5.0.2) libqt5gui5 (18 5.2.0) libqt5gui5-gles (2 5.2.0) libqt5widgets5 (2 5.2.0) libstdc++6 (2 4.1.1) rsibreak:i386 (32 (null))

I think the best idea for now is try to figure out who is the maintainer of the .deb pacakge and ask him to add that dependency.

I'm also trying to get it fixed in another level but i'm not convinced it'll happen.
