Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

There is, evilalarm --wakeup starts the alarm directly.
This combination with sleepanalyser sounds rather neat, might try it myself.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

now if only you could add a way to prevent switching off the phone :P
dunno if that's possible, though

these days i just find myself turning off the phone when my alarm goes off as a last resort :(

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I've also been doing that :(
You can remove the "Turn off" item from power button menu and disable long press by editing /etc/mce/mce.ini (if you know what you're doing), but it's an imperfect solution.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Hi all

SleepAnalyser 2.1 now supports an external alarm command.
Happy wake ups ;)


P.S.
My Off-Button menu has an entry "stop current application".
That seems to be the dirtiest cheat to stop evilalarm.
To stop that, you would need a daemon which restarts it again immediately...

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

thanks! just what i needed!
doesn't do a thing for me.. i mean, it seems to KILL something for sure but evilalarm stays put

ps, cpulvermacher, i know about removing the context menu item and disabling long press, but 1. as you said, it's an imperfect solution and 2. i'd land up pulling out my battery next! haha

a random idea but it's something like Resetti in Animal Crossing, some "punishment" to force-killing EvilAlarm when you boot the phone next...

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

That was quick :)

(When using evilalarm normally it launches a daemon that does just that. With --wakeup, you may want to use evilalarm's "disable multitasking" option, that will hide the "stop current task" entry. (Actually, it may still be there but it'll kill backgrounded apps...))

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

That's really great news, caco3! :)

@cpulvermacher: could you provide some information on how to best set up evilalarm when triggerd by command line?
First of all I'd like to be sure that all settings I once saved via GUI are applied to evilalarm next time when run from commandline, right? Or are there any settings that just apply to current session and don't get saved as default?
Are there any more cmdline switches?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

All settings are saved when you leave the settings dialog, nothing you need to pay special attention to :)

No particularly useful ones. You can use --daemon to start a process that will start the alarm at the configured time. (note that evilalarm will only save the alarm time when activating it)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Wonderful! Now I'll try that combination of SleepAnalyser and Evilalarm. In a perfect world I would get woken up when in light sleep with an alarm that definitely doesn't let me sleep any further :)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Please let me know how we start evilalarm the best from SleepAnalyser

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

is this out of extras-devel yet?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

evilalarm --wakeup


I'm not entirely satisfied it's stable enough, so not yet.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

There is a way to have a radio station as a alarm clock sound?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Only sound files and vibration, I'm afraid.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

A small preview of the Blubbels module :)

(I wonder if a default score threshold of 500 would be too high... )

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

awesome! needed this! evilalarm doesnt seem to work for me any more

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Uploaded 0.5 yesterday, you can configure modules at the bottom of the settings dialog. You can also change the accelerometer threshold if the movement-module is too sensitive.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

0.6 should hit extras-devel shortly, and fixes a bug that would prevent the alarm from pausing if you managed to move the phone / click at just the wrong moment. (really annoying)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

great work! blubbles didn't let sleep me any more thanks!
one suggession can you please add an option to repeat alram! daily or once in a week or some selected days of week(like inbuilt alarm has)?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I'm currently adding a list of previous alarms, which should simplify things a bit. Not sure if I want to add repeated alarm right now, but I might add them later on.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Maybe not neccessary at all when using alarmed or another triggering software (like sleepanalyser) for calling evilalarm on command line. Especially alarmed (or f-cron) could jump right in and offer the ability to run evilalarm in a cron-like way.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Snooze didn't work with Blubbels... (yeah I shouldn't be snoozing anyway but I like just one snooze of 5 minutes :P) Using version 0.6. I only tried once, but I'll report if it doesn't work today either.
Great work by the way. Are you going to add more modules? Possibly expandable by others (like an extensions system)? That would be amazing.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

@Char:
You're right, sound doesn't turn off when snoozing, will look into that.

I do have some module ideas floating around (for example stopping based on an external command -- ping, maybe? :)), but I'll need to clean up the interface a bit before adding new ones. (or before anyone else will be willing to write their own)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

How can I save new settings in latest version?

When I change alarm song and go back the test goes well. But when I close the program and open again...the settings are not like I changed them...

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

@mihapodb:
Settings should be saved when leaving the settings dialog.

So if you return to the main screen and test the alarm, settings appear to be saved; but if you instead close the program, they're gone?
What happens if you use "test alarm" and then restart the program?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I set new settings, go back to main menu, click "test alarm" and there goes alarm with new settings.
But when I close the program settings revert back :/

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I've managed to get similar behaviour by quickly tapping the "settings" button multiple times, resulting in more than one settings dialog. Changing things in one dialog and closing it would apply them, quitting the program would then save the old settings still in other dialogs... :(

Could this be behind it? Are there any other windows open after clicking settings? (maybe in background?)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Not in my case :/

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

@mihapodb:
Can you check if the bug still occurs with this build?
http://ge.tt/32X8dpj

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Yes it is the same.

Where are all configuration files of the evil alarm? So I can edit them manually...

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

They're in /home/user/.config/EvilAlarm/EvilAlarm.conf
I can only guess that maybe your file permissions are wrong? :(

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

That could be very possiable, becouse I have the same problem with fmms...
And I do not know how to fix it :/

Where can I change permission?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Not an easy question without knowing what exactly is broken. :)
The easiest way would probably be to allow all access to the .config directory (and everything in it). To do that, open a console window and type
If you get no error message, it worked.

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

First I got error that operation is not permitted.
Than I became root and I did not get any errors but still it does not work :(

Please post your configuration file so I can edit it manually...

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

I sent you a PM

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

are you intersted in adding some option in the next release to repeat alarm like "daily" or "weekly" or "monthly" or selected days of week etc.?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Thanks to cpulvermacher!!

He solved my problem :)

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Another suggestion
After "x" minutes the phone sounds a single beep (or any other short sound), and a question pops up.
"Are you awake?"
If you don't say yes within "y" seconds, the alarm restarts itself.
I find myself falling asleep again after being woken up now! :(

Also a math module as another suggestion?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

Where can I find the source code?

Re: [Announce] EvilAlarm
 

can you please add one option to repeat alarm(even every basic alarm has this type of options) so why don't this powerfull evil alarm does not have this!
