Using only a CalDAV (ownCloud) based calendar, reminders only show if they trigger whilst the machine is on. If the reminder trigger time is when the machine is off, then no reminder is displayed upon next login e.g. all day reminders would trigger at midnight. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a future new event, e.g. 15 mins time, in ownCloud calendar using korganizer with reminder 10 mins before. Verify event is sync'd with ownCloud via web. 2. Shutdown machine and wait 10 minutes. 3. Login. Actual Results: No reminder is displayed for event. Expected Results: The reminder, although past, should be dispalyed. Bug 282535 details the same problem but was fixed for non-CalDAV resources. The final comment suggesting that this was a bug with Akonadi. As I can find no record of another bug being logged, and the problem still exists, I'm raising this one. Tested with various ownCloud versions, currently on 5.0.13. Using KDE 4.11.3 though this issue was present in 4.10 and probably before. I have two kde machines, one 32bit the other 64, both have the same problem.
Same here with Ubuntu 12.04 / KOrganizer 4.8.5 / Zarafa-Caldav
I have restested with KDE 4.12.0 and ownCloud 5.0.14a. The problem remains.
I see this report is quite old. But still the same here. I'm using Caldav with ownCloud running KDE 4.14.5 and Akondi 1.13.0 on an up-to-date Chakra Linux. But if I'm not mistaken I had the same problem when using Google Calendar.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
This bug still exists for KOrganizer 5.1.3 with KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.1. I can't tell how this corresponds to the "KDE Applications 15.08 or later"-Version. IMHO Korganizer (or Akonadi) needs to update the calender before showing the reminders to get this right. It seams to only show the reminders that were present on shutdown.
Florian, thank you for your feedback.
The machine doesn't even need to be off - it just needs to be offline. Example: you're on a flight, another user adds a CalDAV event with a reminder set 1hr in the future. You land 2hrs later, connect to the internet, the event is synced. But you never see a reminder because by the time it synced, it was 1hour in the past. Actually missed an important event as a result of this. Considering it was reported more than six and a half years ago, is it safe to assume it won't be fixed? It does seem like a pretty big issue - as if you can't trust reminders to be accurate unless your machine is online & connected 24x7, how can you rely on them for scheduling?
