GPE-ANNOUNCE(1)
NAME
gpe-announce - program to announce alarms to the user
SYNOPSIS
gpe-announce
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gpe-announce.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
gpe-announce announces alarms set by gpe-calendar and gpe-clock to the
user in the G Palmtop Environment
OPTIONS
gpe-announce "alarm text"
The text displayed by the alarm box can be specified as a quoted string
on the command line.
Further arguments are ignored due to problems with the upstream
gstreamer support.
AUDIO SUPPORT
To allow audio sounds, ensure that /dev/mixer exists and that no other
processes are using /dev/dsp (e.g. a music player like rhythmbox, even
when not playing, will make gpe-announce think that the audio device is
busy).
- You may need to load the snd_pcm_oss kernel driver for /dev/mixer to
appear: - $ sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss
