           Summary: korganizer lost my calendar
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.4.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tpo_deb at sourcepole.ch


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

How to reproduce?

- A week ago I upgraded Ubuntu (and this KDE) from Karmic to Lucid

- I am not using korganizer with akonadi, but using local ics files
*exclusively*

- Two days ago while starting kaddressbook in Lucid for the first tim,
akonadi's and nepomuk's two dozen processes broke loose swamping my console
with log messages and maxing out my CPU at 100% thus I killed all that smelled
like akonadi and nepomuk (kill -TERM; sleep ...; kill -9) and deinstalled
nepomuk-virtuoso and kaddressbook

- Meanwhile I had to restart my laptop, since Ubuntu's suspend currently
crashes my laptop - thus I was not in the same session anymore as when I "had
to" kill akonadi

- Yesterday I merged an external MacOS ICS Calendar into mine

- It went OK, except for the fact, that iCal's recurring Events don't seem to
have explicitly associated weekdays with them so korganizer complained when
pressing OK, so I had to add them

- Then once again suspended my laptop crashed my system

- And today I have a fresh new, empty calendar

I do not know which event lead to killing the calendar, however I do not feel
that deleting my calendar is in any way acceptable under any circumstances. If
I can not trust korganizer, then I'd rather start using a paper agenda or a
plain text file again.

It may be that this bug is related to #209249 [0].

General note about my feeling of KDE today:

Once I was using KDE as my Desktop. I switched to Gnome to have a look, but was
still using plenty KDE apps. I am regularily using kaddressbook, klipper,
korganizer, akregator and kwallet.

kaddressbook had to go, because I will not bear two dozens processes running
amok just because I want to see a *simple* addressbook!

kwallet doesn't start any more [1].

akregator has repeatedly erased all articles from my RSS feeds.

And now korganizer ate my calendar.

So the last app remaining is klipper.

I hear that by now the 4.x version of KDE has stabilized. Well not for me. To
me it feels like it's dying. I am not able to use any of KDEs apps any more,
even though I would very much like to. Maybe I the only one, but to me the
alarms are very loud. What's going wrong here?
