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.
N.B: Maybe this have to be signaled to Evolution mantainers.
