Can we then remove an <object> from /var/lib/alarmd/alarm_queue.xml to remove that alarm event? Woul we also have to edit next_alarm_time and next_alarm_mode?

You could, but you shouldn't. Use the API - with appropriate bindings for your language of choice:

• API reference
• Put the alarm API to work tutorial

i think the thing here is that they have uninstalled mcalender, but it seems to have not cleaned up alarmd...

so then, how do they go about doing that?

If you know XML, I've previously hacked entries out of /var/lib/alarmd/alarm_queue.xml. You probably should then set an alarm in the near future in Clock to update next-alarm-time and ensure other data structures haven't lost any integrity.

If you want to remove entries from alarmd safely, without knowing xml, install alarmtool (use dpkg -i to install) and open the file /var/lib/alarmd/alarm_queue.xml and look at the cookie number that refers to the alarmd entry you want removed and then just alarmtool -r <cookie number corresponding to alarmd entry you want removed>

My mcalendar have been working fantastic for a few months but when I started it today it doesnt startup and I get this strange error when running it from command prompt, anyone got a clue or is khertan around for some help!?

$ mcalendar

This may be a stupid question, but... What exactly is the point of the clock icon in the righthand corner? When you click it comes up with "xx:xx Free Timexx:xx" I just dont see the usefulness or point of it.

I decided to dust off the n810 and give it another try. I installed the mcalendar app. No problem. When I select the application from extras it pops up then goes away. I cannot get it to run at all.

ideas???

You could try running it from the terminal. You frequently get more insite into problems like this in terminal.

I got similar problems a few ttimes, what I usualy need to do is to start a cmd prompt and do a rm -rf .mPim and start over with new settings. I realy think we need an updatd mcalender soon..
