Almost a year now with Kubuntu, and three machines later (no, I no longer think it's a hardware problem) and still problems.
See my old thread if you'd like: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3108467.0
Now on 10.04 kubuntu.
While the problems are less, more easily contained and understood, they're still making it hard for me to work with Kubuntu .
KAlarm: generally it works. But just today I delayed some alarms ten minutes and shut down my system to put it on a new UPS. That's always worked in the past; even if I logged on an hour later (which this time I did) the alarms still popped back up.
This time they didn't. I got an error; as soon as it opened, it closed, no reason for the error. I restarted the system. Some alarms came up again; others (which were actually left open when I shut down did show up on the reboot.
Now I had one of my important alarms back. I decided to defer it until tomorrow. I got an error that I couldn't defer it, it couldn't be found. I closed the error message, and the alarm disappeared (probably for good) as KAlarm completely closed. Maybe some alarms will come back when I reboot, but I wanted to reboot this first.
I really like KAlarm. However I'll move all my alarms to something else if possible. Any recommendations? Please don't recommend Kontact's calendar; my next post will explain the problems I'm having with KMail and Kontact (hint: lots of other folk are having the same problem).
So... any suggestions? Any recommendations?
