Description envite 2010-09-10 01:22:44 UTC
Version:           4.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I've setup a pending task, with an advanced remainder: fire 1 hour after end, repeat once each 60 minutes.
But korganizer daemon reminds me every minute.

This has been reported (with a screenshot) in Ubuntu launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488251

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a pending task.
Configure it for a remainder with a period larger than 1 minute (for example, once each 60 minutes).
Wait for the remainder start time to come.

Actual Results:  
korgac remainds every minute

Expected Results:  
korgac remainds as desired (like once every 60 minutes)

korgac is unusable if it fires every minute. I must deactivate it.

Occasional korgac goes mad and remindes every minute.  I cant reproduce at will.  For the latest incidence it reports:

korgac(6343) IncidenceEditorNG::ConflictResolver::findAllFreeSlots: free slot calculation: invalid range. range(  0 ) / mSlotResolutionSeconds( 900 ) =  0

Korgac is reminding me since 02:00 on 2013-mar-30 every minute. I'm using 4.10.1.
Killing korgac "solves" this issue, but after restarting korgac it happens again.

I've had this problem many months ago (maybe exactly a year ago?) and it disappeared by itself.

Same here, and reminding me of outdated anniversaries.

What is needed to debug this issue? It is still totally reproducably for me - and a tad annoying ;)
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2013-11-02 10:58:10 UTC
Is this still happening with KDE 4.11?
Comment 8 Myriam Schweingruber 2013-11-03 09:43:41 UTC
I haven't seen this is a while.
Comment 9 envite 2013-11-03 18:29:30 UTC
I tested 4.10.5 shortly for a while and it didn't happened to me again. 
I did not tested it for long due to other bugs.

Regards

Thanks for the update. If this is happening again, please add a comment.
Comment 11 envite 2014-03-09 01:15:41 UTC
This is happening again. 4.10.5
Comment 12 eric 2014-03-29 02:22:54 UTC
It happened again and almost on the same date as last year (see comment #3)... maybe some kind of april 1st joke... except that it is not yet april the 1st :-/
Comment 13 eric 2014-03-29 02:26:37 UTC
Forget to tell that I'm using: kde-4.12.3 and akonadi-1.11.0.
Comment 14 Tsu Jan 2015-03-20 22:06:21 UTC
I've had birthday reminders in KOrganizer for a few years and they've always worked correctly but suddenly, today, 03/21/15, at 0:0, it started to show two of them every minute. I killed its daemon and started it again about 30 minutes later but the same thing happened. So I killed the daemon again and started it a few minutes past 1:0 am. This time the false reminders didn't show up anymore.

The two birthday reminders in question aren't different from others and have nothing to do with this month, let alone with this day and hour.

The reason why this bug had't occurred to me before could be that I might have never used KDE in 21st March between 0:0 and 1:0 am before. As to why this date and this hour, I don't have a clue.

The KDE version I use is 4.14.2, under Debian.

the bug is back again; started today (2016-03-26)  at 02:00 UTC+1 (MET) 
korgac shows me reminders every minute for all birthdays for the next 12 months in future
korgnizer version 5.1.3, Frameworks 5.19.0, Qt 5.5.1

@Wulf
I think this bug has never been fixed because it occurs once a year, being related to daylight saving time.
Comment 17 Wulf 2016-03-26 13:30:51 UTC
@Tsu Jan
I think you are right, because reminders stopped at 3 am.

But then there is a bug in the calculation of the beginning of DST for Europe.
It's the last Sunday in march 1 am UTC, not Saturday!
