Description kderocks38 2026-01-24 06:52:17 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. setup any alarm
2. disable it via right click or ctr b
3. log out/log in 

OBSERVED RESULT
Alarm enabled

EXPECTED RESULT
Alarm to remain disabled 

Maybe this is a feature instead of an issue however I do believe we should be able to deactivate easily an alarm and let it be persistent until we reactivate it

Alarms are definitely expected to remain disabled after logging out.

After disabling an alarm but before logging out, can you please attach a copy of your calendar file (probably ~/.local/share/kalarm/calendar.ics). Please also attach a copy of your calendar file after logging back in and finding that the alarm is no longer disabled. Feel free for reasons of privacy to replace all the values in the DESCRIPTION fields in the calender with, for example,
    DESCRIPTION:x

Which version of KAlarm are you using?

You will find the files.

I can't reproduce this bug yet. Looking in System Settings (in the System group at the bottom), is KAlarm shown in the Autostart settings? And what are your Desktop Session settings?

Comment 6 kderocks38 2026-01-25 23:03:55 UTC

Its in autostart settings and it has the start automatically option activated from kalarm settings.

I don't have any particular other settings for my desktop, maybe we should check location for the local settings of kalarm and see if it gets overwritten somehow.

Comment 7 David Jarvie 2026-01-26 00:04:45 UTC

What is selected in Desktop Session in System Settings?

KAlarm's settings are in ~/.config/kalarmrc and ~/.config/kalarmresources. Can you please attach them.
