Can PiClock work an ubuntu OS?

n0bel commented 2 years ago

Yes, you can install PiClock on Ubuntu. I used PyCharm on Ubuntu for my code editing of PiClock. To use the original PyQt4 version of PiClock, you need Ubuntu 18.04 and install PyQt4 with sudo apt-get install python-qt4. To use the newer PyQt5 version of PiClock, you need Ubuntu 20.04 and install PyQt5 with sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5. After that, you just need the other prerequisites listed in the PiClock install instructions.
