Version: 1.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux After updating to KDE 3.5, Kontact presents the following situations: Kontact automatically starts the KOrganizer reminder daemon even if the relevant components are NOT enabled in Kontact. This is a problem, but I figured "Oh well," and decided to setup some calendar events and use the "feature." However, the reminders don't work. I tried several test events and reminders to displa and to run a script and neither did anything. So looks like two problems: 1. Kontact runs the daemon no matter what. 2. Daemon doesn't work once started. Not sure what other info might be helpful. I am running SuSE 10. Thanks, Dave M
Found a crummy workaround for issue #2 with the daemon. If I close Kontact and close the daemon, then open KOrganizer by itself (thus starting the daemon that way). Then I close KOrganizer and reopen Kontact, then all is fine. Thanks, Dave M
I can confirm the problem #1 (daemon starting, no matter if you told it not to do so). I'm running Kontact here, KDE3.5 under Kubuntu 5.10. If you change ~/.kde/share/config/korgacrc by hand it will be overwritten, not respecting your changes.
Confirm #1 on KDE 3.5.5/Kontact 1.2.3. Removing _all_ components from kontact still causes the korganizer reminder daemon to start. I did however, get my notifications correctly, that part appears to be fixed
Created attachment 19981 [details] Don't always start korgac if no loaded plugins use it. This patch fixes the first issue about always starting korgac but I think the second issue is to do with not enabling reminders from the panel applet context menu. If the tray icon is greyed out you wont get any reminders.
Created attachment 19982 [details] Don't always start korgac if no loaded plugins use it (cleaned). Sorry, forgot to do a tidy up!
*** Bug 222491 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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.
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.
