This is still a problem in Maverick. Since it SERIOUSLY degrades the reliability of the Evolution calendar/notification system - a central component of productivity for most people - I propose the seriousness be upgraded.

[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
I gave up checking settings as I am no programmer and there was too much code to compare with my friend whose notifications work OK. I tried Pentagon's solution and got the same result as ingo.

[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
Does nut solve it here. I created a completely new calendar as a local calendar, made an entry to be reminded by alarm, shut down the machine and booted some hours later. NO alarm message, nor any notification in the panel. Seems nobody really is interested in fixing this bug in the ancient heritage from Novell for whatever reason. However fact is, that this way Lucid is left without a working calendar applichatin as Sunbird was removed from the repositiories. -- Evolution does not notify on missed alarms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
From initial setup of evo I had 2 local calendars: Personal and Meeting. While reminders for appointments from Personal worked, for Meetings ones didn't fired up any notifications. So, after sleepless night of experiments finally I created new local calendar and reminders for it's appointments worked. It was an enlightenment. I renamed that new calendar to Meeting and it continued to fire up remainders! So, creating a new calendar may be a workaround. -- Evolution does not notify on missed alarms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
For what it's worth I tried this workaround with Lucid final release and it doesn't work. Interestingly both I and a friend upgraded to Lucid via update manager and his old notifications pop up no problem next time he reboots. I think I've probably got a slightly bad install.

[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
I don't know if you call this a bug, but for me it is. And it has been there for a very long time- at least since Feisty 7.04, and seems to be important to a lot of people. I switched to Mozilla Sunbird because of it, but now Sunbird is not available for Lucid. If I miss an appointment because I was not on my system for a few days, I like to be notified so I can apologize and reschedule.

[Bug 147163] Re: Evolution does not notify on missed alarms
I think the importance of this bug should be at least medium, because this feature is critical for who relies on calendar alerts all day, and this bug is really annoying... However, I have discovered (at least on Ubuntu Gutsy - Gnome 2.20.1), where the problem is, I think. This problem happens when a Gnome session is saved at least one time, more precisely when session is saved manually or automatically: It seems that evolution-alarm-notify daemon has some problem with Gnome session management, and it won't reconnect properly to calendar events on reboot when it is recovered by session manager, causing the daemon to lost ALL the events created BEFORE last session end. For me this behaviour is critical!! But, as a workaround, it's simple to resolve doing this simple steps: 1) Open System-Administration-System monitor and terminate these 3 processes: evolution-alarm-notify evolution-data-server-1.12 (this is not present all time) evolution-exchange-storage 2) Open System-Preferences-Sessions, go to Session options tab and manually save the current session clicking the big button 3) Go to the Start programs tab (the FIRST tab, my ubuntu system is in Italian so I don't know how this tab is called on English systems...), select Evolution Alarm Notifier voice and click Modify button on the right: in the Command line that will appear, add the option --sm-disable to the command line: on Ubuntu Gustsy, consequentially, this will be: /usr/lib/evolution/2.12/evolution-alarm-notify --sm-disable 4) Click Ok, close all and logout or reboot the system: from now on Evolution Notifier will work like a charm. I hope this strange behaviour will be fixed soon, however disabling session management for evolution-alarm-notify daemon fixes the problem perfectly. Cheers.
