** Description changed: I use the calendar-app with my work google calendar. For that calendar I have alarms setup to automatically send an email 24 hours, 4 hours and 30 minutes before any event and I choose email as the reminder (as opposed to popup) so that I wouldn't be bombarded with reminders all day. Unfortunately the calendar app does not make a distinction between email and popup and every event with an email reminder gets imported as an event that gets an event notification on the phone with an alarm sound. I have a lot of events in my calendar and so my phone is constantly making noise at all times of the day. This is particularly annoying at night time since I might get a reminder as early as 3am or 4am, which wakes me up. Of course, I could use silent mode at night, but, like last night, I forgot and was awoken at 6am. Plus, I don't necessarily want the phone in silent mode-- I'd like to be able to hear if a phone call comes in since that is likely an emergency call I need to take. There are a lot of different bugs related to calendar event notifications and if some of them were fixed, it would ameliorate this bug. For example, I've been hoping for a setting to disable sounds for just the calendar (whether via the app or system settings) but otherwise get calendar notifications. Being able to change the alarm sound to 'None' would work too. TBH at this point I don't care which bug is fixed, I need to get this phone to stop sounding off constantly. WORKAROUND: 1. download https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silence.ogg to /home/phablet 2. use gsettings to adjust the sound: $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound '/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Marimbach.ogg' - $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound /home/phablet/Silence.ogg + $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound /home/phablet/Silence.ogg $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound '/home/phablet/Silence.ogg' + + UPDATE: if you used the above workaround, after the OTA11 update you can undo the workaround with: + $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Marimbach.ogg + $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.datetime calendar-default-sound + '/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Marimbach.ogg'
