DESCRIPTION:

mostly any calender-entry that brings a reminder (e.g. birthdays) seems to cause an “endless loop” on alarm-triggers in jolla-alarm-ui. There are no errors in journal at this time. additionally this complete blocks me from logging into the phone or to use the interface in any way … the only workaround is to restart the phone, because after 30mins of acknowledging i gave up. and just killing jolla-alarm-ui (via ssh) doesnt fix this , it keeps reappearing.

the ics-record (from nextcloud) is clean . no other cal-app behaves like this.

ANYBODY seens like this ?

I’ll try to see if I can reproduce your behaviour, but before, you may provide a bit more information, if possible.

Could you install timed-qt5-tools if not already present on your device ? (do it with devel-su pkcon refresh and devel-su pkcon install timed-qt5-tools).

With it, you can list (and delete alarms) : timedclient-qt5 -L. Can you report what is given for your looping alarm ? For instance a “normal” alarm on my device gives :

Cookie 2961
  APPLICATION = 'libextendedkcal'
  PLUGIN = 'libCalendarReminder'
  TITLE = 'Rendez-vous chez le kiné'
  alarmtime = '2020-10-30T13:05:00+01:00'
  endDate = '2020-10-30T13:50:00+01:00'
  notebook = '3577bdc0-8cc6-47cb-bde4-b57ac436a361'
  startDate = '2020-10-30T13:20:00+01:00'
  time = '2020-10-30T13:20:00+01:00'
  type = 'event'
  uid = 'EDBCBA28-F8EB-469B-A9A4-7DA2DF44D4AE'
  Tick: 1604059500 (T-67872 @ 2020-10-30 13:05:00 CET)
  Time: 0000-00-00 00:00 
  MaximalTimeoutSnoozeCounter: 2
  TimeoutSnoozeLenght: 1
  Flags: userMode alignedSnooze reminder

While a recurring alarm has an additional action like :

 Action0:
    COMMAND = 'invoker --type=generic -n /usr/bin/mkcaltool --reset-alarms 3577bdc0-8cc6-47cb-bde4-b57ac436a361 EDBCBA28-F8EB-469B-A9A4-7DA2DF44D4AE'
    Flags: runCommand whenServed

Which is used to reschedule the alarm to the next occurrence after this one has rung.
