[Bug 248206] New: evolution alarm popup doesn't popup with exchange appointments
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248206 Summary: evolution alarm popup doesn't popup with exchange appointments Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Evolution AssignedTo: bnc-team-evolution@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kra@ecolog.at QAContact: lakhil@novell.com CC: rsushma@novell.com, pnayak@novell.com BugsThisDependsOn: 132535 +++ This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #132535 +++ when creating appointments on a calendar on an exchange server, then alarm-popups doesn't show up. when creating a appointment on the local calendar, or changing the appointment from calendar on an exchange server to local calendar it works. UPDATE: i am now on opensuse10.2 with evolution 2.8.2 and it happens again. but this time i know a workaround: you have to kill and restart at least the evolution-alarm-notify program/daemon. but i found out, that evolution works best, if you kill EVERY program which belongs to evolution EVERY time you start evolution. i made a script, which kills everything, and then starts evolution. and when i want to use evolution, i start this script, not evolution directly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Have you got time to check alarms ? OpenSUSE 11.0 Alpha2 is also available which has Evolution 2.21.90. Alarm pop ups are working fine for me. Can you please check and update the bug.

the alarm-daemon needs you to remember the password. Could you please verify with that?

yes, i always have this checkbox checked. on every dialog evolution pops up about 'Remember this password' i always click on this checkbox. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

today i am using evolution 2.23.4 on opensuse11. and it is like i wrote in comment #6 (#c6). it ist working as long as i am restarting all the evolution-background-processes (/usr/local/libexec/evolution-data-server-2.24, /usr/local/libexec/evolution/2.24/evolution-exchange-storage and /usr/local/libexec/evolution/2.24/evolution-alarm-notify) whenever i restart evolution. to stop these evolution-background-processes i use the supplied /usr/local/libexec/evolution/2.24/killev. with this workaround it is working. but not without it. but i can live with that. so you can count this as "works for me". and for me, this bug can be closed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
