Alarm notifications do not appear when an alarm is triggered

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan]

There is no indication when an alarm goes off. This should be done by the platform which opens the clock app when an alarm is triggered.

Fix committed into lp:ubuntu-clock-app at revision 229, scheduled for release in ubuntu-clock-app, milestone final-1.0

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Riccardo's patch has been reverted in the clock app due to failing autopilot tests, black screen on start up and other issues. This will be postponed to the next development cycle. other parts required to show notifications will still be landing.

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Despite Riccardo's patch been reverted, having indicator-datetime and urldispatcher alone would be enough for this cycle. The indicator-datetime should be able to trigger a notification when an alarm goes off.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is there any way to make an alarm work at the current time ?
I tried all possible ways and still cannot make it sound. (on r5 raring)

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

The Alarm works in the backend. The only thing missing here is the notification (sound and visual). That's something I am trying to coordinate with upstream devs responsible for this.

Do we have an update on this? What is missing from being able to get an alarm to ring from clock?

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Per Charles, a plain C Alarms API that's currently in draft form is completed. Plans implement this this right after Christmas break and then make indicator-datetime dogfood this API to connect to the EDS backend.

Once that is complete, clock should be able to make the API call via qml corect?

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

Reopening for indicator-datetime. Looks like there's a bug in i-datetime's code that sees appointments/alarms in EDS on startup but isn't processing new ones when they're added. I'm looking into this now.

[Péter Trombitás (trombipeti)]

what is going on with this? As I understand this bug actually means that the user cannot set a very primitive alarm clock to wake them up in the morning. I think this is almost as important as being able to receive calls. When can we expect it to work?

[Péter Trombitás (trombipeti)]

It still doesnt work here. I set the alarm, but nothing happens when it should fire. I use r194 image on mako.

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Peter, I can confirm it still doesn't work as of image #194 on Mako. We are currently investigating the issue.

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Image #200 has been confirmed to have a working alarm notification support :)
