I'm trying to set up the Alarm Clock app to automatically launch Rhythm Box and begin playing a specific internet play lists I have there. I have one template set up to launch Pandora and I could probably get it to launch Rhythm Box but, how do I get it to launch Rhythm Box and begin playing a certain radio station playlist?
View 6 RepliesI have just installed alarm clock, I cannot find an icon anywhere after the install. How can I start this program.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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?
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?
Any alarm clock program I can run on xubuntu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, 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
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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I need to set up an alarm to start at 7:30am and run every 5 seconds until I stop it. How would I acheive this in cron tab?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make an "alarm clock" with mpd and gxmessage. Gxmessage allows you to assign unique exit codes for its buttons to use in your script. This is what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
vol=$1
mpc clear
mpc load alarm
[Code].....
Now I know I'm way off with the case statement, because when the alarm_message function is called within the case, both of the exit codes I assigned to the buttons (-buttons "Stop":1,"Sleep":2 ) return to their default value.
What I would like is for every time the "Sleep" button is pressed, it would pause mpc, sleep for an amount of time, play, then open gxmessage again to restart the case statement (retaining the exit codes I assigned to the buttons). Am I on the right track?
able to get an I pod nano 3rd gen 4gig to sync with Rhythm box or sync rhythm box back to the Ipod?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi!
I've been frustrated with several problems I've been experiencing with Karmic Koala. The one I'll mention in this post is the fact that it randomly decides to adjust the system clock ahead 6 hours. I believe this began happening when I set the location for the system time that displays in the top panel. I'm guessing that the 6 hours is the fact that I'm in the US Central Time zone.
How can I turn off specific authentications? I don't want to have to authenticate every time I mount a different drive (in a different partition). (Because I can't open Mozilla, since it pulls a profile from that partition, without authenticating; and I want to have Mozilla automatically launch on startup, but it can't launch if I need to type my password to gain access to the drive first!).

Flashgot does not seem to be able to launch JDownloader automatically. I have already posted this in a thred on another forum, withouth results. I suspect that security issues are the reason why JDownloader cannot start.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using 11.04 with the old panels, no side panel. For some reason gnome-panel doesn't launch automatically so I have to do it via terminal, which means I have to keep the terminal tab open if I want to keep my panels.
Adding it to startup programs resulted in invisible panels (Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.), which I bypassed by typing gnome-panel --replace. I would like a permanent solution though..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a very simple conky script to diplay the date and time on my desktop. I've noticed that he conky clock is a few seconds early compared to the time displayed in the right hand side of the top panel (Natty). I guess both displays are based on the same "internal" time, so I'm left wondering how this could happen, and how to sync back the clocks.
It seems that Conky is in sync with the system date, while the panel clock is 2 seconds late (on my system). Checked with while true; do date; sleep 0.1; done
Just curious as to if it is possible to have the clock in the center of the task bar centered clock in Ubuntu 11.04?
