Think so, I'll try to manually convert it to UTF-8 to see if flipclock will read it after that and play the alarm...

In that case you should have flipAlarmSync install.
Type the following command in XTERM again and see what you get.

Code:

/usr/bin/flipAlarmSync clear clear clear

It will either give you no Alarm or it will take sometime to process the alarm sync.

If random alarm still happen, please provide your /home/user/.flipClockAlarmD.xml to us.

If the command is not found, then please provide us the result of the following command

Code:

dpkg -L flipclock | grep -ir alarmsync

where the symbol before grep is the top right symbol in the symbol table...

I'm a late comer to this app but it looks very nice and useful as well.

Admittedly I haven't gone through all the threads yet but I have installed this today but want to know what sound file it accepts as an alarm sound?

It uses "most" mp3 music files. Once in a great while we find a file that doesn't play. That is why I only use "tested" files to wake me up.

Anyone know what the battery life is like when leaving this on clock all night without a power supply?

I have successfully ran it all night off battery power. However, I set the "Insomniac Backlight" to "3" so that the display is very dim but readable. Also, I make sure that I am not connected to a WiFi access point nor searching for one. Another point to remember is that once you set an alarm, you can completely turn you NIT "off" because it will power-up by itself when your alarm time arrives and actually run the application.

This looks great. Just what I need and very useful as my current alarm is lit up like a lighthouse even on the lowest led setting.

There's always a light shinning and I have to to the clock face away or set if face down. I'm just going to work on a nice alarm sound to wake up now.

What I like also is how the alarm slowly increases over a period of 60 seconds, and if that is too loud, there is a control that limits your max volume.
