I tried out evolution and decided I didn't care for it. During the process this Reminders indicator appeared on the panel.

enter image description here

I've now uninstalled and purged evolution but I still have this, now non-functional indicator on the panel.

How do I get rid of it?

  • Check my answer from similar topic at https://askubuntu.com/a/1317844/66509 . Use `mate-session-properties` at the end of first step. – N0rbert May 30 '21 at 14:32

    @N0rbert it worked. Many thanks. +1 to that answer, and closing this as a duplicate. – Organic Marble May 30 '21 at 14:39

You have to copy the /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.Evolution-alarm-notify.desktop file to your home folder by

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart/
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.Evolution-alarm-notify.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/" ~/.config/autostart/org.gnome.Evolution-alarm-notify.desktop

and then disable its launch from mate-session-properties (Startup Applications).

Also disable its systemd user services:

systemctl --user mask evolution-addressbook-factory.service
systemctl --user mask evolution-calendar-factory.service
systemctl --user mask evolution-source-registry.service
systemctl --user mask evolution-user-prompter.service

and then reboot.

  • Never in a million years would I have figured out to do this - creating a desktop just so I could disable it. This sort of answer is why Ask Ubuntu is invaluable. – Organic Marble May 30 '21 at 15:32
