can you try mkdir -p ./.local/share/kalarm and then retry kalarm if OK
(In reply to Nicolas Lécureuil from comment #3) > can you try mkdir -p ./.local/share/kalarm and then retry kalarm if OK that works
this is just a workaround. Is there any software with the same pb ?

Is this still valid with latest plasma update?
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.
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.
tested and it works OK on mga6 sta2 Live preisos
