THe kOrganizer alarms (to signal calendar events, etc) don't seem to be working under KDE 3.4.
Everythnig seems fine, though: the alarm daemon is running in the systray, alarms are enabled, and enabled at startup. Alarms are toggled in the calendar, and system notifications are working fine.
I've tried to set alarms several times, but they never sound, either anytime before the event, or during the event. They dont sound at the selected time (i.e., minute, hours, days.)
All my volumes are turned up, too.
I'd appreciate any help.
Maybe it's a matter of editing something in the startkde file?
Yes, the sound(s) I selected work just fine outside of kOrganizer.
One interestingthing happened, though, which I didn't mention. When I did a few tests previously, I set up 3 different alarm times. Of course, non of them sounded, and the times passed. For whatever reason, I rebooted a little while later. As soon as the KDE desktop sarted up, all the alarms went off, and kAlarm showed up in the systray.
