Ubuntu :: Alarm Clock Program Goes Off?

Sep 24, 2010

I'm looking for an easy to use alarm clock program that I can suggest to new users. The two I have tried so far have fallen short of my expectations. "Alarm Clock" from the Ubuntu software repository starts out okay, but when the alarm actually goes off, getting it to stop seems pretty unintuitive. Click on the Alarm Clock icon, then click a Stop button in the new window that pops up. Sounds easy enough except that the icon used for "Stop" is just this grey square, so for users who are not familiar with linux or this program, it isn't even obvious that it is a button. I had one user actually uninstall the thing in order to get it to shut up. Preferably one should be able to silence the alarm by click on the alarm icon (or right clicking, if a 'doze' behavior is preferred) The other one I tried was alarm-clock-applet, which wants me to locate an alarm sound on my filesystem. Uh, no.

Does anyone know of a simple, basic alarm clock system that anyone can just sit down and immediately use without having to 'get in to the head' of the developer? Are the KDE alarms better? Am I missing something about either of these programs which would make them easier to use?

Ubuntu :: How To Autostart Alarm Clock In Gnome

Nov 19, 2010

I installed 'Alarm Clock' from the Software Center and would like to have said app autostarts. There is an option in Alarm Clock to autostart with Gnome but that doesn't work so I assume the reason being I'm not root.

How to autostart Alarm Clock?

Also, in System > Preferences > Startup Applications, the 'Add' asks for a command. Is this like Windows whereas I simply point it to the app I want started? I don't even know where apps are installed. Who said ignorance is bliss?

Ubuntu :: No Option For Sound Alarm In Calendar?

Apr 10, 2011

I've seen in Evolution Calendar where you can have an audio alarm in addition to the pop-up and notification. For the life of me, I cannot find that now. I am Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Evolution 2.28.3 - the latest in the repository. I just can't find an option for audio alarms...

Ubuntu :: Looking For A Simple Calender Alarm Application?

Apr 14, 2011

Does anyone have a suggestion for a *simple* calender alarm application? Something that will pop up when I open up the system and tell me "Take out the trash today!" (Actually, it needs to say; 'TAKE OUT THE TRASH TODAY, DUMMY!') I've looked at *Evolution* but it is too much application for what I need. My system is Ubuntu 10.04 OS with 3gb of RAM.

Ubuntu :: Bash Script - Alarm Clock Without GUI

Jun 13, 2011

So, I'm attempting to write an alarm clock from scratch without a GUI, doing this through a bash script. So far I wrote the file that actually initiates the song, and I was trying to set up a crontab so I could do it at a certain time, making it function like an alarm clock, but it isn't seeming to work, any input on why

Code:
SHELL=/bin/bash
12 5 * * * /home/angelo/music.sh
That is my crontab

Ubuntu :: Alarm In Evolution Or Online - Reminder System?

Oct 2, 2010

I need an alarm / reminder system for all the crap I have going on. I want one that will pop up and remind me of a given task. Sounds, bleeps, rings, bells, etc., would also be great. Doesn't evolution have such a thing? IF not, what about online options. But I really prefer sg on this computers so I can still get the reminders when I am offline.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Add 'Alarm Clock Applet' To Panel

Jan 13, 2011

I must be overlooking something here, but I can't find out how to add "Alarm Clock Applet" to my panel. In Ubuntu Software Center, there's a picture of the program right in the panel and feature to add to panel, but there's no option for me to do this. "Add to Panel" doesn't have the application either.

Ubuntu :: Time Changed From GMT To BST - Wake On Alarm Fails / Fix This?

Mar 30, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and in the UK we changed from GMT to BST last Sunday (27th March)
On GMT I was waking on LAN at 23:30, all was working fine then we changed to BST. What I usually do is leave the BIOS clock on GMT and change the Wake on Alarm to 22:30. I did this, shut down Ubuntu fine, but its not waking up at all at 22:30, or any other time I set the WOA to. I had this problem a few years ago on an old ASrock mobo and cant remember how I sorted it - maybe by blanking the bios, cant remember.

OpenSUSE :: Kalarm: Only The First Audio Alarm Works Normally

Mar 3, 2011

Since the last kde update I have observed that when an audio alarm is triggered everything is normal: you see the window with the message and hear the sound. But from that moment on the alarms show the window, but no sound is heard. If I quit the application and start it again, the same happens: first alarm works normally, the others are mute. I removed the config files and started again, but this resolved nothing.

General :: Writing A Script For An Alarm Clock?

Nov 27, 2010

I left the linux world for a few years and now i am trying to re-learn my shell scripting basics. I am writing a script for an alarm clock, but i seem to be running into a few issues.

declare -i H
declare -i M
declare -i currentH
declare -i currentM
declare -i minutesLeft

[code]....

My script, instead of doing what it should, produces the following errors:

./alarm: line 19: echo 11: No such file or directory
./alarm: line 26: 6: command not found

[code]....

and if i choose the time 11:06, files called 11 and 6 are creating in the working directory. I am sure it is something really simple, but i haven't used linux or scripting on my computers in around 6 years.

Programming :: Stopping Alarm() From Terminating The Process?

Jan 15, 2010

I am working in Linux and have connected a normal LED to my serial port (with voltage conversion). I am just trying to make that LED blink periodically using alarm ().So in the signal handling routine of my code,i toggle the LED but then the program quits as SIGALRM terminates the process. Shall i make a nested alarm so that the handling routine also has an alram()? I am stuck and i must confess that i am not so convenient with signal handling so can someone provide some pointers?I thought about using sleep(); but the advantage with alarm is that it waits for the exact number of seconds (when the second turn over from previous to new value) before raising the alarm while i am not sure about sleep taht does that or not.

Ubuntu :: Loading Configuration Info For Evolution Alarm Notify Error

Mar 16, 2010

Today my computer froze a couple times while running VBox forcing me to hit the reset button on the computer, anyways, now I am getting this error:
Code:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

Code:
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-0bZHOOZLeL: Connection refused) to be perfectly blunt with you, i dont know what ORBit is or what it is for and the file /tmp/dbus-0bZHOOZLeL doesn't exist on my computer (not even a symlink) the only network sharing apps that are running on the machine are SAMBA and IPP, according to synaptic I don't even have NFS installed on the computer.

As for evolution-alarm-notify, I don't use use evolution (unless I get a pgp encrypted email) which is highly unlikely that I will get one, I am thinking, if I remove the evolution link from my notification bar will that fix the problem?

Ubuntu :: Can I Make Internal System Speaker Beep For A Calendar Alarm

I live in a crowded area so I have to use headphones almost all of the time. I just leave them plugged in so when an alarm goes off from Thunderbird or Evolution, I can't hear it. Is there a way to get some use out of my internal system speaker and have a reliable calendar-event-reminder and alarm? I'm talking about the one that will beep from inside the computer even if you have headphones plugged in.

Hardware :: Disable Broken Fan Alarm In Sparc Server?

Jun 1, 2011

We have a problem with CPU fan not spinning in Sun server. There are two very small fans attached to heatsink on CPU. We can find identically sized replacement in local electronics shop; but the problem is they all lack the third wire. I presume that if we did that, Solaris would keep alarming about fan problem.

Original fan is quite expensive (sold in pair together with heatsink), and (more importantly) cannot be easily found here. We lubricated it so it works, but that's only temporary solution, obv. So, is it possible to disable fan alarm in Solaris 10 for SPARC? If both fans die and CPU (UltraSPARC IIIi) overheats, will it shutdown before it breaks?

Programming :: Make A Flawless Bash Alarm Script

Jan 12, 2011

I am not positive that this is the right subforum for this post. It is technically a programming question but I am not sure if this is the best place for bash scripting questions. Anyhow, I have been having trouble getting up in the morning. I am a pretty good morning person and once I am up, I am good to go. The problem is getting out of bed. Traditional alarms have just not cut it in the past; there is always an easy way to shut them off and go back to sleep.

Recentliesh, I decided to try to make an alarm script in bash that would be more successful in getting my lazy behind out of bed. I am a newbie bash scripter at best so my attempts have been very simple but have not cut it so far. Here are some examples:

[Code]....

The above script was the version of my bash alarm. It will not stop ringing until I input that ridiculous phrase. The big issue with this script was that I would input the phrase quickly and go back to sleep. It was however, much more successful than traditional alarm clocks. Another obvious pitfall was that even though control-c'ing the process would not work, the terminal could be closed and that would be the end of it. I'll get back to that issue. Here is my second attempt:

[Code]....

Fedora :: Crontab - Alarm Clock Functionality To Wake Up Computer

Jul 6, 2010

I have a feature that keeps me going back to Mac every night, and I was wondering if there was an equivalent. I have a nice app called alarm clock on Mac that plays music from my library on specified days of the week and times AND can wake the computer from sleep to do so. I was wondering if there was a Linux equivalent, such as crontab, that could do all those things. It's the last barrier to almost full time Linux use.
