Hello

Two days ago my weekalarm didn't start when it was supposed and since then I'm unable to open the configuration page. Meanwhile I've formated and reinstalled my system and I'm now running debian testing (squeeze).

The test script opens the config dialog and in general terms it all works fine except for weekalarm. It used to open underneath amarok but right now it will simply not respond to the button.

the versions are:

Amarok - 1.4.10-3+b1
Python (minimal)- 2.4.6-2 (i also have 2.5 just in case)
Python-qt3 - 3.17.4-1
Python-qt4 - 4.4.2-4
Weekalarm - latest from amarok's "get more"

Taking in consideration that i run gnome and that amarok runs just fine: could there be any KDE component that could be missing and that's necessary?

Any help will be as appreciated as the script itself as it will make me wake up in a better mood.

solution:
$ ln -s ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/weekalarm/weekalarmrc ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts-data/weekalarmrc

After creating symlink, config dialog will work.

hi, this is an update

i've just deleted the scripts folder, reinstalled weekalarm from the get more button, activated it and clicked configure. this is the log file of these actions:

Sorry, i don't understand what did wrong. The log doesn't give any useful infos. I don't think we need more dependencies that those needed to run Amarok, and i don't have your problem, so i'm afraid i can't help you more. Are you sure the window doesn't appear anywhere, sometimes it is behind Amarok main window, or perhaps on different virtual desktop?

another update, hopefully this will shed some light. i have two weekalarmrc files one located under amarok/scripts/weekalarm and another under /amarok/scripts-data

if i run amarok/scripts/weekalarm/config.py the config dialog appears and is editable and it will save the settings under amarok/scripts/weekalarm/weekalarmrc. the other weekalarmrc file will remain unchanged.

Interesting. I think it is a bug in amarok, because you two use the same (beta?) version of amarok. Amarok should start scripts in the scripts-data/ directory. You should report it on bugs.kde.org to have some expert opinion on this

Hello there from greece.
I have exact the same problem.
I upgraded to 9.04 and then uninstalled amarok 2 and installed amarok 1.4.10.
Well on 8.10 the configure page was always hiding somewhere but i could always find it.
Now it seems that it just doesn't open.
Every other script works fine on amarok exept the weekalarm.
I hope you can fix this because it is a very nice script and very helpfull!

Thanx in advance.

If amarok is not already running, then running the weekalarm.py produces the following errors.

$python ./weekalarm.py

If amarok is already running, then there is no problem.

A new standalone program compatible with Amarok 2, xmms2, vlc and many other player is available at http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php?content=95482

This is still pre-alpha, and so has only a small subset of the weekalarm features, but it works for me (tm).

Note that it is based on pygtk, so you will need to install the python-gtk package.

Are you using Amarok 2? It only work with Amarok 1.4.x (and it probably won't work with too old versions). Also, try to install it via "get more script".

On an AA1 netbook with screen 1024x600 I'm unable to see and use the save button at the bottom of the configuration dialogue. I discovered this only when I was using an external monitor. Is there a command I can use or could you adjust the dialogue layout?

The options for the modes "random" and "repeat" are misinterpreted.
"Repeat" turns on "Repeat Track", definitely wrong, I would expect "Repeat Playlist".
"Random" switched on "Random Albums", I feel correct with "Random Tracks".

Would not it be good to be able to define the modes within a ComboBox?

I'm still a linux newbie, so I apologize if it's something obvious, but I can't get this script to run. I installed it through the "Get more scripts" dialog, but it just crashes with a message that "The script 'weekalarm' exited with error code: 1" Under details it says
"Traceback (most recent call last):

Never mind, after rereading the About page I figured out to install PyQT. Sorry to bother you, and thanks for the script.

Looks like a really nice script - almost a whole app in and of itself, built right into Amarok. My only complaint is a good chunk of the config dialog is cut off due to my text size being set to 16. Surprisingly, resizing the window doesn't rectify this; all the widgets stay exactly as they were before resizing. I've never seen this behavior in any other Qt window. Call me lazy, but changing the text size every time I want to change the alarm settings seems like a bit of a hassle. :-)
