Unfortunately I don't have a 12.04 system readily available. Therefore a debug log would be very helpful. It puzzles me that there is no output at all when you start alarm-clock-applet from shell. There should be plenty of debug information.
Can you please paste the output of the following five commands? file $(which alarm-clock-applet) sha1sum $(which alarm-clock-applet) killall alarm-clock-applet alarm-clock-applet --help alarm-clock-applet -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977110 Title: sound_repeat option not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alarm-clock/+bug/977110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
