Bug#941430: Kalarm sound, image alarms never worked, and then text alarms stopped working

2019-09-30 Thread RB68
Package: kalarm
Version: 4:18.08.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Kalarm worked partially at first on this fresh Buster install : sound and image
alarms never worked, but text messages did.
Recently, even the alarms I had programmed to appear as text messages on the
screen at regular intervals stopped appearing, even though kalarm was working,
and was started automatically each time I started my PC.
So I stopped kalarm, started it from a console, and got these two messages :

org.kde.pim.kidentitymanagement: IdentityManager: There was no default
identity. Marking first one as default.
org.kde.pim.kalarm: Error writing autostart file:
"/home/user/.config/autostart/kalarm.autostart.desktop"

I quickly found out that the ~/.config/autostart/ directory did not exist.
There is a directory named autostart-scripts in .config, but no program uses
it.
I created the ~/.config/autostart/ directory, restarted kalarm from the
console, and this time only got the first message :

org.kde.pim.kidentitymanagement: IdentityManager: There was no default
identity. Marking first one as default.

Text messages I newly created worked, but old messages I had created to appear
at regular intervals still did not appear at the scheduled time at all.
Sound and image alarms still do not work.
