Repeating sound in alarm for longer

Asked by haxwithaxe

I'm want to get the sound for the alarm to repeat constantly for longer than 8 min. I am an insanely heavy sleeper. Is there any way to get it too repeat for an hour? eg script/config file modification. I Really want to ditch kalarm.
Thanks.

Usually the sources are located in /usr/share/alarm-clock.

You will need root access to do that. Edit the main.glade file with Glade editor (it's available in most distributions), then from main window choose "sound_properties" and you will see the window that allows you to set sound for your alarm. Highlight the slider you want to change (I think you will be interested in Repeat and Duration after Fade), and from Properties window change Max value from 480 to whatever you want (in minutes, so set it to 3600 for one hour).

By default it's set to 480, because on higher numbers the slider loses accuracy.

Please tell me if this helps you, cheers.
