Public bug reported:
KOrganizer has a strange option allowing to disable reminders. When one
gives a secondary button click on the KOrganizer reminder daemon's
system tray icon, one of the menu items is an "Enable Reminders"
checkbox.
What is much more strange is that, apparently, this option is disabled
by default in Kubuntu 19.04 (KOrganizer 5.10.3). This must be a bug, a
somewhat recent change, or some Ubuntu specificity, since I used
KOrganizer on Debian for more than a decade and don't remember that.
And to top it off, whether reminders are disabled or enabled, the event
interface is unchanged - one can still create reminders when they are
(supposedly) disabled.
The result of all of this is that I managed to create reminders on
KOrganizer, but - since they are (partially) disabled) - I would never
get notified (reminded of events as I requested). Therefore, KOrganizer
seemed unusable to me, until I found out about this option and checked
"Enabled Reminders". It's only after hitting a serious bug with
Thunderbird's Lightning extension, realizing that Evolution doesn't work
on my install, and failing to install a third-party calendar
(Rainlendar), that I came back to KOrganizer, searched its ITS, and
found this solution, more than 2 months after I switched to Ubuntu and
hit this bug.
