Description Jordi Yeh 2006-02-04 03:57:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

The calendar that I use is WebDAV based. That is, I don't have enabled the Local calendar and only have enabled the remote calendar. When I am not online, KOrganizer pops-up an error window stating "Unknown host example.com". Where example.com is the server that hosts the ical calendar. Note that the error is shown multiple times (9 times just now), and it feels that this should not be the case.

Possible ways to address this issue are:

1) Do not use an error pop-up. Instead change the KOrganizer icon with a red exclamation mark.

2) Use the cache version of the file /tmp/kdecache-user/kcal/kresources instead of requesting it directly through the server.

3) Add a new setting to KOrganizer, so there won't be any errors due to lack of network connectivity.

4) Other way?

Please let me know if you need further clarification of the issue.

Thanks!

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.

I only get one pop-up with korganizer-4.1.3.

Can you retest?

Comment 3 Sergio Martins 2009-01-11 17:59:15 UTC
Reproduced it now.

It seems a korgac problem.

I can confirm this.  I use remotely hosted ICS calendars, and multiple error boxes appear when I'm offline.  I think option 3 above is relatively simple to implement but reasonable.  People know that when they're offline, they're not going to get updates.  So let them opt out of these type of errors.

I have a similar problem with some Google calendars I use. I get a pop up several times a day saying "The file or folder http://www.google.com/path/to/my/cal.ics does not exist".

This is on a desktop so it's not caused by my network disconnecting. I'm not sure why the calendar can't always be accessed but it's always a transient error and the popups are a little annoying.

I personally like the tray icon notification solution. That way if there is a real problem with the calendar I can be notified and click the icon for details, but for transient errors the alert can clear when the error goes away and I will never be bothered by it.

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 korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 9 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:58:06 UTC
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.
