100 thousand years later the date will take 2 lines.

2.1 billion years later a "Segmentation fault." will occur.

Having stopwatch and timer functionality will be great! thanks

I'd love to be able to specify a custom label via a new argument. This label should be shown above the time, just like the date can be shown below. E.g. -l "New York".

Along with #50, this would allow for awesome World Clock monitors, with multiple clocks showing the time in New York, London, Tokyo, etc. -- or any list of cities relevant for yourself or your business.

Plz help it looks so good but that bugs me to no end.

I'd love to have a way of making the font larger, perhaps having the display fill the window.

The large clock always outputs leading zero, even when 12 hour display is selected. In the United States it is customary to omit this digit when displaying the time in 12-hour format. Most users in this region expect the time to look like '%l:%M %p

This line should be conditional on 24-hour mode or a value >9.

We've had a request to include this in the homebrew package manager, but we need a stable release to include it. Would you be able to tag a release? Thanks!

(See Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#23163)

please add templates to run tty-clock on selected vt at boottime

Do we have yum package available for CentOS?

There is always some sort of margin, it would be great if we could specify the margin in the options.

Thanks.

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind editing the --help output to clarify how to change the date formatting.

I have tried a number of different ways, but each time I get a segmentation fault.

Thanks for the great clock :D

Hello! I'm trying to run ttyclock from within a systemd service and currently it is erroring with
ttyclock: ttyclock.c:50: init: Assertion 'ttyclock->ttyscr != ((void *)0)' failed. What can i do to fix this?

My command is: sudo tty-clock -tnc -C 6 -T /dev/tty6
I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04

Current Delay Feature

• -d delay is cool if you want increments other than the default 1sec.

Only downside

• If you want to achieve e.g. increments in 5secs that are nicely "aligned" on the 5 number series, e.g. 22:17:00, 22:17:05, 22:17:10, … you have to achieve this by starting at the right time. Not so easy to get that right manually.
• If you start it regardless of that it simply takes the current time and increments, so e.g. 22:17:02, 22:17:07, 22:17:12.

I propose an "aligned delay" mode

• It creates a number series: 0, delay, delay*2, delay*3, … until number generation hits 60.
• When you start tty-clock into that "aligned delay mode" and is yet "unaligned" (e.g. 22:17:02) the clock instead starts with 22:17:0_ with the _ part denoting that it waits for the next "clean entry point".
• As soon as it reaches any number in the desired number series, it starts there, so e.g. 22:17:05 and from then on "runs aligned".

Would love to see that feature!

Flag ideally would be -D delay

• As a modified version of -d
• But sadly -D is already takes for "Hide Date".
• Maybe you want to break backwards compatibility.
• Maybe an extra "aligned" flag. But -a is also already taken. So maybe -A. Or something else.

X in code is the Y on screen!

In the current version of tty-clock, the x variable represents the y axis on the Cartesian plain.
Even the ttyclock.geo.x changes the position of the clock on the y axis.

This should be changed so that the x variable is a value on the x axis

Hi!

I have a question, hopefully easy to answer to you.

I use an old laptop as internetradio. I have installed ubuntu 20.04 server with autologin. I start the radio with "mpc play 1" in a script started by the crontab (@reboot). That works fine.

However I want start the tty-clock after the radio. I use "tty-clock -s -c" but it do not start. When I start the script by "./script.sh" it works.

Have anyone an idea?

When I try to execute the program using python2 (2.7.16) I get the following error:
File "./tty-countdown", line 94
print(center(asciiFormat(t, font), getTermDimensions()), end="")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Since the program can only be executed with python3, I suggest you to force python3 by changing the first line of the script to #!/usr/bin/python3.

Also, I find better to install programs on .local/bin and .local/bin/share, but thats up to personal preference.

Could you add an option for fullscreen redraw.

To reproduce you can run x-clock and echo qwe > /dev/prs/X from another terminal.

tty-clock looks nice, so could it have a screenshot?

thanks!

I installed tty-clock on my system (Endeavour OS) which uses custom color schemes, and i noticed that tty-clock does not use these system-defined colors, but rather hardcoded ones.
I would love for some level of configuration to be possible, for example, passing CLI options through the config file instead of the terminal, or use custom color schemes.

Hello,

This is on a Debian 9 system. I also made a Virtualbox VM running Debian 9 as well as I can't change the time on the production system without causing issues. Both systems exhibit this behavior.

Both systems timezone is EDT, and system time is set to this as well. I noticed that after 1:00pm (13:00), "PM" is displayed correctly. It just seems that from noon - 12:59 that tty-clock shows "AM" when the -t argument is present.

vom@debian9-test:~$ date +"%c"
Sun 25 Aug 2019 12:31:50 PM EDT

Exact command line for that screenshot was tty-clock -s -x -C 6 -t

Let me know if there's any other system/environment information you need. Thanks.

Does tty-clock really require a tty when using the -T option?

I have the following line on a cron script:

tty-clock -S -c -t -d 3 -T /dev/tty1

And it doesn't work because cron doesn't have a tty, but it's not really required because I'm sending it to /dev/tty1.

Tell me if I'm wrong...

Hi

As the title says:
Why is this described as "analog clock in ncurses" when it shows a digital clock?

Thanks for adding the Makefile patch from hasufell so awesome quickly!
And for writting tty-clock of course.
Btw - I'm packaging tty-clock for Gentoo (sunrise overlay).

Regards
Wuodan

After midnight, the date format at the bottom becomes misaligned due to it not taking up the same amount of space any more. I can reliably recreate this bug by waiting until midnight and seeing the format get changed.

The date format I am using is %A %B %d, %Y.

Here are some pictures of the bug:

tty-clock shows wrong seconds as they are not synchronous:

compare with xclock:

it was small for me, so I rewrited it to use a 5x7 matrix for each number, instead of the 3x5 one that it comes with...
http://nikyscripts.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nikyscripts/ttyclock-1.1a_5x7/

also, it's likely that i'll do it even bigger .... say, 7x9 or so.

PS: sorry for the sourceforge repo, i have there all my little projects, so i first uploaded it there... then i realised it would be better if i share it with the developers.

I'd like propose an idea to @xorg62 after seeing a couple of long standing and already resolved issues still left open, also @anarcat seems to be on top of them, and staying through all these years.

@xorg62 would you like to have a co-maintainer/collaborator to help you out? If you would, I am nominating @anarcat.

Disclaimer: I do not know @anarcat or have not read much of the codes.

If the seconds mode is on:

I'm running ttyclock on a real DEC VT320 terminal, the following issues happen:

• The numbers are not visible (since there are no colors, there are only one-color "white spaces")
• The blinking cursor is not hidden
• Small glitch in borders of the date
  

I like how there's already the -u option to get the clock to show UTC. How about another option to define a time zone, relative to UTC? E.g. -z +2:00, to be able to show CEST even without having the computer clock set to this time zone.

Along with #51, this would allow for awesome World Clock monitors, with multiple clocks showing the time in New York, London, Tokyo, etc. -- or any list of cities relevant for yourself or your business.

Hi,
I would like to package tty-clock for openSUSE but couldn't find a LICENCE file or any information about it. tty-clock Debian's package show a "Copyright with condition" in the Copyright file, so what would be the appropriate term to put in my rpm spec file ?
Thank you.

Yesterday I was seeing correct value for field [AM]/[PM]. But then I didn't check at this hour of the day... Compare the correct time from my desktop at top right of the screen and what tty-clock reports. Also, the print for '%a, %d %b %Y %z' string seems to be off center.

tty-clock -ct -f '%a, %d %b %Y %z'

On OS X in iTerm2. I'm not very advanced so this may be a simple dependency that I'm missing, but help pointing me in the right direction here would be appreciated.

I have TTY-clock running on various TVs around my house and it is my primary way of telling the time of day when I'm not either outside (with my phone) or working at a desktop (when I use other clocks)

One feature TTY-clock lacks that my other clocks have, is that it does not tell me the day of the week, even though it displays the date. I have to consult a calendar if I want to know what day it is. It would be really nice if TTY-clock could have an option display a three letter day of the week abbreviation (MON TUE WEN THU FRI SAT SUN) to the left of the time, similar to how there is an option to display seconds on the right side.

Would be awesome to specify a time or date and have the clock count down.

Hello!

I am the maintainer of the debian package, and along with @carla-v, we have worked on making "real" releases of tty-clock, which is quite useful for the debian package. The @carla-v tree is already at 2.0:

https://github.com/carla-v/tty-clock/releases

The debian package also followed that naming convention:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tty-clock.html

It seems that there was new development here, and I would be fine to consider this upstream again, however to keep some consistency on our side, it would be nice if there would be a (say) 3.0 (or anything greater than 2.0) release that would encompass the new changes in the code.

Is that something that could be considered?

Thanks.

When compared with other software, tty-clock seems actually to run one or two seconds late.

In the above screenshot, 4 clocks are running, from top to bottom:

1. xmobar (the status bar of xmonad)
2. xclock -d -update 1
3. vtclock -v -3 (nothing special about those flags, just a nicer font)
4. tty-clock -s

Note that we don't see it in the screenshot, but xmobar is actually lagging a little behind the other two clocks, say about 500ms. Here's a screencast that shows the behavior more precisely.

I find it mind-boggling that 4 clocks can't agree on the time on my computer, this gotta have some profound meaning involving long hair and swiss patent offices, but i am not certain... ;)

Please add locale support. (weekday name for example)
