Comment 1 Nicolas Lécureuil 2016-04-14 11:13:18 CEST
is "/home/live/.local/share/kalarm/" writable ?

not sure if this is the result required:

[live@localhost ~]$ ls -al ./.local/share/kalarm

Comment 3 Nicolas Lécureuil 2016-04-16 12:03:34 CEST
can you try   mkdir -p ./.local/share/kalarm  and then retry kalarm if OK

that works
Comment 5 Nicolas Lécureuil 2016-04-17 09:44:57 CEST
this is just a workaround.
Is there any software with the same pb ?

Comment 8 Samuel Verschelde 2016-09-08 18:11:02 CEST
Is this still valid with latest plasma update?
Comment 9 David Walser 2016-11-01 17:43:24 CET
Still valid.  Error is: Error -- KAlarm
Failed to create default calendar "Active Alarms"

Location: /home/david/.local/share/kalarm/calendar.ics
(Agent instance creation timed out.)


It only happened the first time I launched KAlarm, and afterward I see that it was able to create .local/share/kalarm on its own, and a displaying.ics within it.
Comment 10 David Walser 2016-11-01 17:52:58 CET
Subsequent login to Plasma resulting in this error: Information -- KAlarm
Alarms cannot be created or updated, because no writable active alarm calendar is enabled.

To fix this, use View -> Show Calendars to check or change calendar statuses.
Comment 11 Nicolas Lécureuil 2016-12-31 01:13:32 CET
tested and it works OK on mga6 sta2 Live preisos
