pClock 0.7.2 - Time tools

#61 Post by Sky Aisling »

Hello Zigbert,

Thank you for your quick and clear answer.

Yes, your suggestion is what I initially tried but ran into multiple road blocks such as there is no 'delete' function active when attempting to delete the clock format code lines in jmw-tray and there is no /usr/local/jwm_config/tray listed in the system. I wish I had the tray configuration that you show in your screenshot, but, it's appears nowhere in this system.
So, I did a 'restore master backup' this way: JWMDesk/Profile/back up profiles/jwmrc-personal/restore. This cleared the tray of my personal apps including the offending PupClockset coding. Then I reinstated personal apps through the jmwdesk/launcher tab per usual procedure. Hopes this helps someone else with a similar glitch. :)

PS -
Edit: I'm running a 32bit OS on a 64bit machine, if that makes any difference?

The machine is DMI: Hewlett-Packard HP HDX 18 Notebook PC/3610, BIOS F.24 06/16/2009

I forgot to mention that the tray-manager is, for some reason, not included in Tahr-Pup, so I guess that you run that os.

Not sure if this is important but I'll report it anyhow.

Version .71 is included in hungarian version of precise puppy
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93679
When I launched it with the terminal program rather than by the
start menu
I got the following message repeated endlessly when I first ran it..
cat: /root/.pclock/tmp/timer: No such file or directory
The message stopped when I pressed the 'Alarm' icon.

BarryK doesn't use pmusic in pyro64 so I made small change
I was able to get pclock to work in pyro64 v0.6
by installing pclock 0.7.2

Then changing one line to recognize the music player from pmusic to 'defaultmediaplayer' (or xinewrapper)


Code: Select all

	pschedule -s -e "defaultmediaplayer '$ALARM'" "music Alarm" &

Code: Select all

pschedule -s -e "xinewrapper '$ALARM'" "music Alarm" &
There is a splash screen which I can't get rid of but that's okay with me.

There is also /usr/local/bin/defaultaudioplayer, which would be more exact substitution.

zigbert,
Are you planning to release a new version of pclock with this change?
Otherwise, I will create a modified version for my noarch repo.

Hi zigbert,
many thanks for your Puppy time tool suite. I was just looking around for a Pomodoro timer for study/work goals, and while there are lots available I was wondering whether pClock (or pTimer) could be expanded a little to include such a function? More about Pomodoro. Something like a (modifiable) sequence of alarms say at 25, 30, 55, 60, 85 minutes... would a scripting solution be easier to incorporate perhaps? Best wishes.

My timer ptmtimer is very crude but it keeps a log of timer text boxes.
This might be of use to a student.

Thanks don570 - am testing your ptmtimer 2.5 out now on a dpup 7.5 setup, and will give you feedback on your thread. I see now I was looking like a serial pest on some of zigberts threads, asking for "enhancements"! Cheers :)

Nice tool! There is so much in Puppy, even after using it all these years, it still pleasantly surprises me. i need to check out apps one at a time until I've gone throuught the entire menu....

So, pClock runs a countdown, then executes a command...but immediately starts counting down again. Hmm.....shouldn't there be an option to execute the command and automatically pause or stop pClock from re-counting down and again issuing the command? Or am i missing something? (i tried "man pclock" to learn more but was whisked away to a dead link....)

Thanks!

clock face

It is possible to use pClock without the menus and additional functions. I just want the visible functioning analog clock.

perhaps I can alter the configuration settings to enable this behavior?

Do you just want a digital clock on the desktop? (That is available with the pwidgets package.) Or something else?

Funny you ask this question.

I made a script to show a giant clock on the desktop.
I took some of the code out of pclock.

I wrote a script to make the desktop picture of fatdog arm.
Available here.

If you want me to explain how I wrote the script I can do that.
