How to install alarm clock under MX19.1

[waldmattis]

Hello, everybody.

Do any of you know a program to install an alarm clock under MX19.1?

Greetings

alarm-clock-applet

It sits in the notification area. Just one option.

That's a 5-yr-old Ubuntu program, and I don't think the install instructions work as written.

You could try xfce4-wmdock-plugin and wmclockmon

Oops, Xfce4 4.14 does not support it.

It just installed and didn't bring in anything else. Starts and runs fine. The only thing that it may bring in is some Gstreamer stuff. I already installed Parole Media Player which may have brought that in originally. Otherwise it seems to be fine.

How did you get around this, following the install directions?

Code: Select all

                                                                   [~/Downloads/alarm-clock-0.3.4]─┐
┌─[jb@X1Cmx]─[04:59:16 pm]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└─> ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

It's in the repos.

apt install alarm-clock-applet

Edit: I think I see the confusion. The OP is using MX19.1 and I'm on MX18.3. The app is in the stretch repo(also sid and jessie). Sorry if this created an issue but I think it should install without issue.

[Jerry3904]

You must have a different repo enabled:

Code: Select all

└─> sudo apt install alarm-clock-applet
[sudo] password for jb:

Thanks! I was looking for an answer to this.

The Stretch version installs OK, and shows up in MXFB as well. Not particularly well written from the user's perspective...
