Created attachment 132365 [details] Kalarm starting up with Active Alarms calendar disabled SUMMARY I've started noticing an issue with Kalarm recently. (Looks like it may have started when ArchLinux upgraded to KDE 20.08.2) When I log out while Kalarm is minimized to the system tray (thereby forcing Kalarm to close) the next time I log in the "active alarms" calendar is disabled/unchecked. This does not happen when I either a) quit Kalarm manually, or b) when I log out with Kalarm *not* minimized to the tray. This is becoming a bit of a nuisance, since when the active alarms are disabled Kalarm doesn't pop up any alarm windows notifying me about appointments. As I normally start up kalarm minimized to the tray (and generally keep it minimized), I'm running into this problem frequently. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Kalarm, minimize it to the tray. 2. Log out. (Of the XFCE desktop, in my case.) 3. Log back in, and start Kalarm again. OBSERVED RESULT Kalarm starts with the Active Alarms calendar disabled/unchecked. (I can also see in the ~/.config/kalarmresources file that it contains "Enabled=".) EXPECTED RESULT Kalarm should start with the Active Alarms calendar enabled and active. (And ~/.config/kalarmresources file should contain "Enabled=Active".) This happens both on my main account, as well as on a brand new test account that I set up just for this purpose. (So it's not an issue related to my user configuration.)

Thank you for providing sufficient details on how to reproduce this bug, which has helped me to confirm it. Given its importance, it should definitely be fixed in time for KDE apps release 20.08.3.
Please note that ALL calendars (active, archived and template) are disabled by this bug. Now fixed by commit 23eae65d7150bbc726d17092eacf2ad1f1d80f10. KAlarm version 3.0.3 will contain the fix, and will be in the KDE apps release 20.08.3.
Thanks for the quick fix! Any idea when they're planning to release 20.08.3?

For clarity, this bug will occur whenever KAlarm quits in a controlled way, i.e. at logout or using File -> Quit. It doesn't matter whether KAlarm is minimised to the tray. I'm amending the description accordingly, in the hope that others encountering the bug won't waste their time re-reporting it.
FWIW, I just tested this out, and I don't see the bug occurring under the same exit conditions as you're reporting. I see the following: File -> Quit: no issue System Tray Icon -> Quit: no issue Logout, when Kalarm *not minimized* to tray: no issue Logout, when Kalarm minimized to try: triggers bug; no alarms active on next start
Yes, you are right. I based my comment on what I thought the program code did, but it wasn't quite as broken as I thought.
