Again guys just to point out, Flipclock is designed for exactly what you're talking about: full screen clock (with alarm functions). If you go to "night mode" you can even set the colour of the display... and if you press the little back/escape (curled over arrow button) you can put the clock into "insomniac mode" which will cause the display to stay on at the "dimmed" state all night, so you don't even have to reach over and wake the tablet up... I use it all the time like this as it now acts as a complete replacement for my old digital clock (just remember if you're going to use it that way make sure the power cable is plugged in or the display will drain the battery).

Jolouis, wow, this is great. I just installed it and I love the night display. Only problem is my numbers are different to yours!

I'm tempted to install flipclock -- it does have more features than daliclock.

Slightly off topic, but as the main developer of Flipclock, just got to jump in and say can you please post over in the flipclock thread about this? That way I can try and help fix it for you! The main problem is usually that the sound file you're using is too short; Flip's current "fade sound in" approach fades volume per-song rather than overall, which means short audio files (less than 30 seconds or so) are never really audible; it'll be fixed in future versions, but in the mean time the easy work around is to just use a longer sound file or a pre-looped audio clip.
For anyone else who's having difficulties/wants more out of their tablet as an alarm clock, Flipclock gives you the ability to do different alarms per day (i.e. one alarm on Monday, different one tuesday, etc)... and disable/enable them easily without having to delete/recreate them. Also, it uses alarmD so has the ability to auto launch, auto-start tablet, etc. Anyways, if you haven't checked it out it's up in extras... designed specifically to solve the problems/short comings of the internal clock app

Open up /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/flipclock/ci_alarmNew.py
and find on line 83 the code that reads:
Code:
#Fade it in ci_mediaPlayer.mediaController.fadeSoundIn()
Code:
#Fade it in ci_mediaPlayer.mediaController.fadeSoundIn(5)
Code:
#Fade it in ci_mediaPlayer.mediaController.fadeSoundIn(5, 100)

Same problem as PopGoesWeasel. Alarm dialogue box appears but no sounds of any kind. Other system etc. sounds are ok. (Youtube on browser also doesn't work; Internet radio sometimes only works after a couple of restarts).

Solved - seems like some app running in the background had muted the alarm sound. Switched off, removed battery, waited a while, replaced battery, restarted, ok.

810 with latest update no longer supplies any sound at all when alarm is supposed to sound. All you get is the prompt and then all sounds fail to play. Keyboard clicks screen clicks, nothing.
Go find a sound file/mp3 and point your alarm to the sound file. That would fix the problem.
Sound files are stored at /usr/share/sounds, somehow copy to the audio folder will do.
Or check your memory. Memory low or out will also behave like this
