Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages There's a bug (144683) against KOrganizer in KDE 3.x, but since I'm running 4.1, I thought I'd better file a new bug report, since I assume that a lot of the code has changed. Reminders are simply not reliable. Sometimes they don't fire at all. I had a reminder set for an event this morning, and I was late because the reminder didn't fire. Here is the entry in the calendar file: ---- BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20081215T181327Z ORGANIZER;CN=D. R. Evans:MAILTO: CREATED:20081215T181226Z UID:libkcal-1622856547.168 LAST-MODIFIED:20081215T181226Z SUMMARY:Lunch with Lucent people LOCATION:Woody's CATEGORIES:Appointment DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20081216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20081216T130000 TRANSP:OPAQUE BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION: ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER;VALUE=DURATION:-PT30M END:VALARM END:VEVENT ---- Notes: 1. The KOrganizer reminder daemon was running (and still is, and the alarm has still not fired); 2. I am still logged into the same session as the one in which the event was created.
The following seems to consistently demonstrate the bug: 1. start kontact/korganizer 2. subscribe to a remote calendar 3. add an event in the near future (say 15 minutes from now) 4. add a reminder set to fire 5 minutes before the event 5. save the information to the remote calendar 6. close kontact/korganizer The event does not fire. I'm actually rather confused as to how there aren't a bzillion bug reports on this. korganizer is essentially useless as a PIM here, since one can't rely on reminders to fire (the only way to force them to fire seems to be to log out and back in). Maybe it's just me that's experiencing this, although I can't think why that would be true.
SVN commit 932770 by smartins: Alarm interval was converted to minutes when read, but not converted back to seconds when written. Thanks to Lars who spotted this.

Can you reproduce it only with remote calendars, or also with local calendars?
I don't have any local calendars. I'll set one up and experiment.
It seems fine with local calendars (or maybe it's just because I think I'm now probably running with the patch from comment #2 [I'm running KDE 4.2.2 now], so it seems to be FIXED for all calendars).
great. If you see this problem again reopen or search for similar bugs.
