I gave up checking settings as I am no programmer and there was too much code to compare with my friend whose notifications work OK.
I tried Pentagon's solution and got the same result as ingo. Alarms worked fine for me in Jaunty and Karmic and stopped upon installation (via update manager) of Lucid. The problem continues as an irritation but would stop me from using it in a business. I still think that some of us are having slightly bad installs as not many people are complaining. You can get Sunbird from Mozilla website (although not supported by Ubuntu) but it has a bug with recurring appointments (which I have). It doesn't integrate with Gnome desktop so you have to run it all the time to get the reminders - might as well stick with Evolution and check the appointments in the drop down calendar on the desktop. -- Evolution does not notify on missed alarms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
