@John - I was just trying to help... If you want to use it without recompiling it, do the trick I propose. It's up to you. I'm not the developer of this app, I'm not going to fix it. I agree that it's broken, I even click the "Also affect me" link to confirm it as been a bug. There is a lot more bugs than this one with this app. For example, every morning, after booting the computer, I have to go through all the alarms, disable them and re-enable them to reset the counter. For some reason, all the counters are always random after a reboot. The app is quite hard to use with all it's bugs, but with a few quite ugly workarounds, it can be used...
Personally, I don't like the way that Gnome is going. I think they are trying to re-invent the wheel with their new Unity desktop. I tried really hard to appreciate it but I cant. I'm loosing so much time looking for my apps and files, I need a Desktop and an proper app menu with sub-menus. I installed the gnome-session-fallback package to be able to use the classic gnome desktop. It seems that a lot of apps, like alarm-clock, are acting oddly with that "new" classic interface... Btw, to have the clock in the panel, you need to install the package "alarm-clock-applet". It will appear in the panel, in the "Indicator Applet", as soon as you start the alarm-clock application. If you don't have an "Indicator Applet" in your panel, you can add one by right- clicking the panel, while pressing Alt and the Meta key (the Windows key), and choose "Add to Panel...". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941651 Title: In Alarm-Clock notificatons, the text box is missing for a passive popup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alarm-clock/+bug/941651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
