I haven't changed a thing and I have had these reminders set in the ical file for years. Whenever there is a new Fedora, I set up akonadi to use this resource. Everything has worked like a greased axle... until today!?
I resumed my computer and, at the time of my morning alert, the reminder was triggered, like it was supposed to. I dismissed it, and one minute later, it triggered again. I dismissed it, and one minute later, it triggered again.
I tried suspending for 1 minute, then dismissing next time. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried dismissing all reminders. I tried disabling reminders (worked, but no reminders) and then enabling them again, but the whole thing started all over again.
What is going on? I don't believe there were even any program updates yesterday.

There is one further thing that might have some bearing on this problem.
A couple of days ago, there was an updates-testing (I am still running this repo) update with a new kernel, systemd (?) and some qt5 (?) things in it. I don't recall what else. About last Thursday.
Anyway, after I rebooted the computer in order to use the new kernel, I logged in to KDE from the login screen and KDE loaded with a black screen. It took about 30 seconds, before the desktop appeared, and then another 30 seconds or so for the system tray to appear. Normally, both the desktop and system tray are there within a second or so after login.
Maybe something in the update is defective and is preventing some kind of system communication?
I haven't tried using the previous kernel yet. I should do it.

I downgraded to updates. No more updates-testing (but I still have kdeforge, of course!).
The slow appearance of the desktop and system tray is cured. All is working on that front, but...
the original problem with the reminder daemon alerts that cannot be dismissed persists :-((

Another thing I should mention is that I actually have 3 alerts, one at 10, one at 11 and one at noon.
Each of these 3 alerts triggered every minute for one full hour and then stopped. The final of the three just stopped 5 minutes ago, at 1 pm.
They worked just fine for years, like I already said. I have examined the alerts and they are all daily alerts set up to trigger x number of hours after the start of the day and to trigger once, unless deferred.

interesting. I am also seeing random hard to trace problems since I updated many packages yesterday - qt and kernel among many others.
What I see: - various image viewers (gwenview among others) crash or fail to display larger but still reasonable size images - occassional hangs of Firefox
Intel graphics and i686 here.

I saw this as well on my wife's machine. I don't use korganizer. On her machine I've turned off notifications for now.
And now that there are two seeing this issue, I suppose I need to make a bug report.

While I was fiddling round, after I wrote the last of this series of posts, I noticed that,, on the korganizer edit reminder/configure page, there is a repeat x times every x minutes field, which, by default says repeat 1 time every minute, but I have the box in front of it unclicked and it never has been activated. Perhaps, for some reason, the program doesn't recognize that the box is not clicked. What I did was to go through the three reminders and click/save and unclick/save the box. I won't know until tomorrow morning, when the reminders are next activated.
