Is the reminder daemon (korgac) running?  Please check, for instance by running the commands
    pgrep -a korgac
or
    ps -x | grep korgac
from a command line.

If I set the reminder to go off a minute from now it does work but it doesn't work when it's supposed to trigger the next day.
Comment 4 gjditchfield 2022-05-25 22:25:12 UTC
As of version 22.04.0 (5.20.0), korgac has been replaced by a new
reminder daemon, kalendarac.  If you have upgraded to that version,
please watch for unreliable reminders and report them as bugs for
product "Reminder Daemon".

If you haven't upgraded that far, can you still reproduce this bug?
If so, is the to-do an all-day to-do?  Is the reminder set to occur
before its start, or before it is due?
