Test: create a new appointment tomorrow 10:00, remind 1 day earlier No reminder pops up at 10:00 today :/ Is there any form of debugging possibility?
For comparison, I _do_ get reminders, with the older 5.14.3 and with the current development version (5.15.40 alpha). For debugging, you can use akonadiconsole to inspect the event (the raw payload should have a VALARM section), and you can turn on logging messages by closing Kontact andKorganizer, then running "QT_LOGGING_RULES=org.kde.pim.*.debug=true korganizer" in a Konsole window.
hi thx for the feedback. I found out that korgac is not running. However I cant even start it: % ps aux| grep korgac | grep -v 'grep'; korgac ; ps aux| grep korgac | grep -v 'grep' 1 (1 is the grep return code)
journalctl prints: Sep 16 12:47:38 host kwin_x11[1665]: qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 51, resource id: 197132293, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0 Sep 16 12:47:38 host akonadiserver[3246]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Subscriber "" disconnected Sep 16 12:47:38 host akonadiserver[3246]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: New notification connection (registered as Akonadi::Server::NotificationSubscriber(0x7f54943cdef0) ) Sep 16 12:47:38 host akonadiserver[3246]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: New notification connection (registered as Akonadi::Server::NotificationSubscriber(0x7f54943cdef0) ) Sep 16 12:47:38 host akonadiserver[3246]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Subscriber Akonadi::Server::NotificationSubscriber(0x7f54943cdef0) identified as "ETMCalendarMonitor - 93899787426944" Sep 16 12:47:38 host akonadiserver[3246]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Subscriber "ETMCalendarMonitor - 93899787426944" disconnected
Now I debugged it: In korganizer settings -> general -> System Tray it's stated that: "Show Reminder Daemon in the System Tray Note: The daemon will continue running even if it is not shown in the system tray." The corresponding checkbox (un)sets ShowReminderDaemon= in ~/.config/korganizerrc If ShowReminderDaemon is set to false, korgac doesnt start. So the "Note" is simply wrong. If you disable the tray, korgac doesnt run and you wont get any reminder... Thats a bug
Adding @Dan Indeed. also, if you deselect showing the reminder daemon in the system tray you'll get a defunct korgac process. Then re-enabling doesn't start a new korgac Dan: does this option even make sense these days? Is removing the hide/show config option the best solution?
korgac has been replaced by a new reminder daemon, kalendarac, in version 22.04.0 (5.20.0). KOrganizer no longer has a setting to control it.
