Hi mate, ok, here's the deal: my .xsession-errors had alot of content, i wasn't sure what was relevant. so i mv'd it to a backup to start again. i set an alarm to alert 15 mins before an appointment, and every minute after that. I didn't get any alert at all. thus far no .xsession-errors had been generated. i played around with the gnome panel and tried to add an additional notification area to my 2nd monitor, not much seemed to happen
created a user named test logged in, started evolution and i set an alarm to alert 15 mins before an appointment, and every minute after that. I got the alarm OK, and the 'alarm baloon' (in the notificaion area) dissapeared in about 5 seconds It left a small clock icon in the notification area which when clicked on, showed the current alarms. cool logged back in as me on the 2nd monitor, there was an alarm clock, which showed me the active alarms. after dismissing that alert i didn't get any subsequent alerts nor did the clock reappear. the alarms should have kept recurring all the way to the appointment time, but there were none. i had a look at the .xsession-errors and i've attached it Hope that helps some, please let me know if i can do more kind regards, Jules 2008/8/13 Sebastien Bacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > could you attach your .xsession-errors after having the issue? could you > also try an another user on the same box to see if you get a similar > issue on a new configuration? > > -- > evolution alarms last only seconds, no notification window > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256823 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "evolution" source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: evolution > > Runing Ubuntu 8.04 (Linux Oriole 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 > UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux).

The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from inevitable Time. These are the only hours that are not wasted - these hours that absorb the soul and fill it with beauty. This is real life, and all else is illusion, or mere endurance.." - Richard Jefferies ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16766079/.xsession-errors -- evolution alarms last only seconds, no notification window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256823 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
