> The notifications are provided by evolution-alarm-notify which is part of evolution, not evolution-data-server. So you need to have evolution installed for them to work. However there are some plans to move this functionality to gnome-shell: gnome-shell#155. I think this issue can be marked as a duplicate of the gnome-shell issue. Installing evolution should work around the issue in the meantime.

congrats for digging that out.

Curious to see the move to gnome-shell - not very clear how that will impact non-gnome shell based desktops

> As mentioned in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=780076, \`evolution-alarm-notify\`'s main functionality is notifications for calendar events. It would be awesome if that functionality could be moved in the shell calendar code itself, since...
