Hi all,
My Evolution alarm notification has stopped working if the computer is
not switched on at the time set for the alarm to go off. It used to go
off when I booted up. I think the problem started at about the time I
upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Can anyone help please?

Hi Ralph,
While making the checks you suggested I discovered several full backups
I had deleted that were still in the wastebasket. I now have sufficient
space to run 10.04 but will have to upgrade my hardware sometime. Many

Cheers,
Peter.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the tip, the disk is nearly full with 0% available for dev.
I shall have to upgrade my hardware. In the meantime is there a way of
getting back to 9.10?
Cheers,
Peter.
