[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.

and if i start my self-made evolution WITHOUT killing all running background-processes before (evolution-data-server-2.22 and evolution-alarm-notify) then alarm-popup doesn't appear.
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.

Rainer, this works for me with the latest stable Evolution 2.22.3.1. Can you please test this again with the latest version and let us know if it works for you too, so that we can close this 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.
