A suggestion for solution and request for higher priority. This bug is for some people a high priority. That is to say, some people need to be on time some places and it is the sound alarm that tells them to go because they are not watching the screen and the popup is too fast to be useful. It actually should stay up until user dismiss it just like alarm clock snooze.
This bug is around at least 2 years. In 9.04 I was able to get around "play sound" reminder by using "run program" which I made "play <sound file>". That worked in 9.04 but not in 9.10. I am not claiming being expert on Evolution (in fact I am not expert), but here is my suggestion. Since the popup notifier does work for most people, here is how to fix "make sound" alarm. Copy the code of popup notification. In the middle replace the section doing popup with "system call to play/aplay <sound file>". You can also apply it to "run program". -regards -- Custom calendar alarm causes computer to beep rather than to play the specified sound; evolution-alarm-notify treats sound URI as simple filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162544 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
