SUMMARY *** Recurring meetings on my CalDAV calendar do not show up in KOrganizer. They do appear OK in the calendar view of the task panel clock. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Receive and accept a recurring meeting invite in Thunderbird or on Android 2. Meeting is stored in (Synology) CalDAV calendar 3. OBSERVED RESULT Meeting series does not show up in KOrganizer, but does show up in Thunderbird, panel clock calendar view and Synology Calendar. EXPECTED RESULT Meeting series does show up in KOrganizer, same as it does everywhere else. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Are all recurring meetings missing, or just the occurrences of the invitation that you accepted in step 1? If you create a recurring event from scratch, do its occurrences show up? Could you use akonadiconsole to inspect the meeting? - apt install akonadiconsole - Run akonadiconsole - Select the Browser tab. - Select the CalDAV calendar in the top-left Collection window. - Select Model: Calendar/Tasks in the top right corner. - Look for the meeting. Do you notice anything odd? Does it have a UID? If you are willing to copy the contents of the Raw Payload tab, XXXX-out sensitive details, and send it to me, that might be helpful.
Only recurring meeting from external invites are missing, but all of them. If I create a recurring event directly in KOrganizer, it does show up there and also in Thunderbird and everywhere else. Here is one such meeting, which I have accepted via Thunderbird, because the invite e-mail was not properly rendered in KMail (probably a separate new bug). Inspection with Akonadi Console shows ... - It has a unique ID - It has a very long remote ID: 040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000F03EE796335ED801000000000000000010000000C41554B315229E438AA41B86C336F353.ics - The GID is empty - The mime type is 'application/x-vnd.akonadi.calendar.event' - The payload field is empty - There are no attributes set - The raw payload is (slightly edited for privacy): BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML libkcal 4.3//EN VERSION:2.0 X-KDE-ICAL-IMPLEMENTATION-VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT ORGANIZER;CN=someone@some.com:MAILTO: someone@some.com DTSTAMP:20220502T130628Z ATTENDEE;CN="Schröter, xxx";RSVP=TRUE;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION; ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;X-UID=94871627871168:mailto: xxx.Schroeter@some.com ATTENDEE;CN="Nickel, xxx";RSVP=TRUE;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION; ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;X-UID=94871627706416:mailto: xxx.Nickel@some.com ATTENDEE;CN='Syiad T.

For comparison, the remote ID of the (working) test recurring meeting is https://my.synology.nas:5001/caldav.php/syiad/home/1651595986.R154.ics, i.e. a proper URL.

Akonadi does not know you accepted the invitation, so it is still marked "NEEDS-ACTION", and KOrganizer currently doesn't display events unless it knows they have been accepted -- a known bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 436812 ***

(In reply to Syiad from comment #5) > So shouldn't Thunderbird have changed it to "ACCEPTED" when I accepted the > invite? Is this an additional bug in Thunderbird? Thunderbird sent an acceptance message back to the organizer of the invitation, who would have updated his or her calendar. Akonadi is an internal database of KDE PIM that caches your calendar data; Thunderbird doesn't know how to update it. I don't use Thunderbird, but perhaps if it was configured to use your CalDAV server as a source of calendar data, then it would have updated the event on the CalDAV server directly. Then Akonadi would detect the change on the server and update the cached version to "ACCEPTED", and KOrganizer would display it.
That's what I would have expected how it should work. Looking at the meeting with the Synology Calendar Web interface, I see that only the meeting organiser is shown as having accepted. All others, including myself, are shown as waiting for answer (which translates to NEEDS-ACTION, I suppose). I have to use Thunderbird on Windows - and now on Kubuntu, because Kontact has all these issues (invites cannot be parsed KMail, meetings not showing in KOrganizer). However, I'd rather use Kontact if only it was dependable enough.
