Hi, Ubuntu 12.04. Cinnamon desktop.

Sorry, missing version:
indicator reminder version - 14.06

[Brian Douglass (bhdouglass)]

Thanks for the bug report, I'll take a look at it. On first glace it looks like it has something to do with the notification popup. Have you recently upgraded cinnamon?

[wilson (tolikf71)]

No, I haven't update it recently.

To my mind, I have to update cinnamon. I'll try and inform you about the result.
Thank you.

[Brian Douglass (bhdouglass)]

I can't seem to replicate this using that same version of cinnamon, did you try updating? How did that go?

[Brian Douglass (bhdouglass)]

Have you had any luck updating cinnamon?

[wilson (tolikf71)]

I haven't found articles about installing cinnamon 2.6 on Ubuntu 12.04. I have to update Ubuntu to the latest LTS, but I am not ready to do it right now.

[Brian Douglass (bhdouglass)]

Ok, why don't you try moving/renaming the ~/.config/indicator-remindor/indicator-remindor.db and ~/.config/indicator-remindor/scheduled-reminders.json files. That may (temporarily) fix the problem.

And if you don't mind could you post those files here? It might be helpful for me to narrow down the problem.

[wilson (tolikf71)]

Ok, I'll try.

I set up every hour reminder:
cat ~/.config/indicator-remindor/scheduled-reminders.json
[{"date_time": "2015-09-10 10:00:00", "id": 1}]

indicator-remindor.db is attached.

[Brian Douglass (bhdouglass)]

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it crash with your indicator-remindor.db/scheduled-reminders.json files. Did removing those file fix the crash (temporarily?).

Also have you tried reinstalling important cinnamon packages (especially packages related to the notification system)?
