Version: 0.2 (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux The 'Task Scheduler' does not store any tasks and looses all entries as soon as leaving the program. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Enter any new task, and press 'Apply'. While one can use the right mouse button menu to run the task once, no entries are stored permanently. After going back to System Settings and re-entering the program all entered task disappeared. Actual Results: The program is useless to configure personal 'cron' jobs. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop Compiler: gcc
Please correct. The error has occurred in KDE 4.35. I've just updated to version 4.4.3. which looks fine.
I have narrowed the error down. The failure is related to access right changes for crontab in openSUSE 11.2. Users now have to be a member of group 'trusted' to even access their own personal crontab area. As an idea to improvet the Task Scheduler, it would be helpful if any crontab error is reflected at the GUI level and the user is made aware of it.

Yes, it probably is a permission problem, because it works fine here (openSUSE 11.3). If this does not work on your setup, please ask on a forum how to correctly setup "cron" and "crontab" commands so that users are allowed to change their crontab. Additionally, it may be possible that you don't have "cron" service installed at all. In all cases kcron should warn the user, though, and the bug will stay open until those warnings have been added.
