coverup Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I would like evolution to remind me about my weekly classes. I scheduled them in the calendar as appointments. However when opened, they all refer to the date and time of the first appointment. Say, for an appointment scheduled to occur on Mon 07/21/2003 and every Monday from then, all occurances show "Day/Time: Mon 07/21/2003 02:10 PM to Mon 07/21/2003 04:10 PM" Also, the reminder is scheduled to: "Display a message at Mon 07/21/2003 01:55 PM". Needless to say, I don't receive any reminders at all... It's evolution 1.2.4 for Mandrake 8.2, installed using red carpet. Is it a known bug?

SoulSe Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I use Evolution 1.4 with Mandrake 9.1 - no such problems. This could be a bug, have you contacted Ximian? I have many recurring entries in my calendar, I also sync them with my handspring, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Yep, I sent same message to ximian's evolution maillist. No reply so far... Oh well, Evolution looks nice, but if that's all it can offer to me, I'm going back to gnomecal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I wouldn't abandon Evolution, why don't you just upgrade it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I just did - from 1.0.8 to 1.2.4, hoping a new version would be a lot better. My experience has been rather frustrating instead... I'd love to upgrade to version 1.4, but it needs Gnome 2 and Mandrake 9.1. I am not ready to upgade to Mandrake 9.1 right now and don't forsee any window for a major upgrade in nearest few months, so I better stick to gnomecal. Gnomecal is not flashy and has a minimum set of features, but it works for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Nearly forgot about this thread... I have sorted out what was causing the problem... The appointments that evo failed to alarm about were those imported from gnomecal. I had to reschedule each and every of them, and now the reminder window pops out. I still can't get evo play sound alarms though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
