Alarm clock doesn’t work

[antiX-Dave]

I don’t know where else to post this, but the alarm clock function in the clock app does not work. I updated as recently as yesterday evening. Just putting this out there again, if there is a better place for trivial bug reports please direct me there. Thanks again for all the amazing work and rapid progress to this point.

Yes I noticed the same, not sure where to file a bug report myself.
For the interm as a work around I have been using a cronjob and music123

apt install music123
crontab -e

and add something like
0 7 * * * /usr/local/bin/alarm.sh

and in alarm.sh have something like

Code:

#!/bin/bash

Code:

for i in `seq 1 10`; do

Code:

    music123 /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/alarm-clock-elapsed.oga

Code:

done

which plays the alarm clock sound 10 times in a row

The unfortunate thing is that doing so will be quite difficult to turn off and it is kindof quiet. You could modify the script to fix this a number of ways I am certain. My initial thought would be check for a file, but making a file takes more time than the thing plays for. Maybe an adaption to check if the flashlight app is running... then you could start the flashlight app to turn it off.
