Alarm-Clock-Applet No Longer? - Mint 20

[scayers]

Hello.
New Mint 20 install.
I can't find an alarm for the cinnamon desktop.
Alarm-clock-applet can't be found with apt.
Software Manager offers only KAlarm...and I couldn't get it to function with sound.
Help if you can, please.
Thanx.

There's this - https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/302

Install able via the Applets settings module. You can safely ignore the warning that it's not compatible with Cinnamon 4.6 when you add it to the panel. It just needs it's metadata file updating. You can do that manually post installation by adding 4.6 to the list in the file ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/cinnamon-timer@jake1164/metadata.json post installation.

Code: Select all

{
    "uuid": "cinnamon-timer@jake1164",
    "version": "1.2.0.1",
    "name": "Timer with notifications",
    "description": "A timer app with visual and auditory notifications.",
    "website": "https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/302",
    "multiversion": true,
    "cinnamon-version": [
        "2.6",
        "2.8",
        "3.0",
        "3.2",
        "3.4",
        "3.6",
        "3.8",
        "4.0",
        "4.2",
        "4.4",
        "4.6"
    ],

Hey, thanx, smurphos. I will try it. Thanks for the code, too.
You are all-right!

Hello,
This solution is for the "Timer", not the "Alarm Clock"
I have same problem and cannot find the "Alarm Clock" applet in Mint 20 Cinnamon.
Previously I was able to set an alarm clock for when I wanted to wake up.
The Alarm Clock app allowed me to use an mp3 music file of my choise, then set an alarm for a specific time of day and specific days of the week to work.
That app is no longer visible/available.
This timer is good for cooking, but it is not the Alarm Clock asked about in original post.

Does anybody know where that (Alarm-Clock) app went?

Thank you.

It's no longer maintained, unless someone steps forward. The only solution I came up with was to program my own timer-alarm in Python.

Thank you for the answer.
If I had the skills necessary I would consider "maintaining" it. I REALLY enjoyed having the song / mp3 file of my choise to wake me up in the morning. That was sweet.

Shoot... maybe I should downgrade back to Mint 19 just for that!

Oyyy....

Found a FIX. === Start a new ' Command Alarm '
click 'Enter a script ; then you can type most anything that works on a terminal..
retain 'Discard'
eg to play .ogg and .wav files use paplay
for Video mplayer runs .mp3 and .mp4
fim for pictures
Espeak for text to speech (in Quotes )
mpv for Video
Install these with software manager : they are CLI but work in kalarm as is
it can be a script but doesn't have to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
use the full PATH ; eg. mplayer /home/rick/Music/mp3/Getto.mp3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** For any Argument make sure you use "QUOTES"
These are the ones i tried ;
The rest is as usual

but having problems with the Command output "Execute in terminal Window' -- I am using gnome-terminal
Time will tell

[rick-32]

************Fix for Above " Terminal Error "
"Execute in terminal Window" --Error
eg. mplayer /home/rick/Music/love.mp3
when I select that ; it gives '
no terminal is selected for command alarms.
set it in Alarm Config. ......
Just Ignore and Click 'Continue'
You then can use terminal controls to pause , quit etc. for each app.

Linux Mint 20.1 install just go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/u ... _amd64.deb It installs and works fine straight from https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-un ... 4.deb.html

For what it's worth, this (alarm-clock-applet link by nightguy) worked right out of the box for me. LM 20.3 Cinnamon. 2022.02.20
