how can i download conkyforecast?

easysid · 2013-01-26 14:21:01

No voffsets .... that is sweet. And yes, you can.....

I went on adding the things left to right, thus I started at the bottom. Added the clock last ( earlier I had reserved those two blocks for processes. One by CPU and one by mem ). I had to use voffsets as I wrote things per 'block'. Temps on one, then usage on another. I knew that it was a bit messy, with things scattered like that which is why I tried leaving some spaces between each block, and put voffsets in different line.

Right here: conkyforecast_2.24_all.deb, this is what I use.

Or if you prefer from the Conky Companions PPA that has all of Mark's python script for Conky

I started a conky with that method but never finished it. You gave me a perfect way to explain the process.
My other full screen conkys are messy as well

Thank you.

Why go to a 3rd party repo? Mark worked directly with Conky Companions PPA

Had finished downloading it. What should I do next? I am clueless because there is no read-me file.

Double click on it and GDebi should install it for you.

Once installed you can read the help file in a terminal:

conkyForecast --help

or create a text file for geany:

conkyForecast --help>conkyForecast-help.txt

hi all,
why python script run at terminal, alginment is ok but after run at conky, alignment will out of format?
i try ${execi 120 python /home/cheehong/stocks.py INTC BAC NOK} and ${execpi 120 python /home/cheehong/stocks.py INTC BAC NOK} also same.
*this script i copy from www.bhaviksblog.com for stock-quote

python at terminal:-

after at conky:-

python code:-

# Author: Bhavik Shah
# Date Created: Feb 27th, 2009
# Description: Pulls stock quotes from yahoo finance
#  and displays them in conky

# Open up .conkyrc and add the following line
# {execi 120 /path/to/your/script.py goog xom}
# replace 120 by your desired interval in seconds
# replace the path with your path
# Change goog and xom to the stocks you want
# If Value is N/A you probably typed the quote in wrong
# If Open is N/A the stock market is probably closed

# Script is free, do whatever you want with it
# Credit to www.bhaviksblog.com is appreciated =) 


import urllib2
import sys

if sys.argv > 1: #arg must be supplied
	stocks = sys.argv #args are the stocks
	stocks.pop(0) #pop the first entry since its the filename
	print
	print '%5s %8s %9s %9s %9s' % ('Name','Value','Open','Change','Time') #print header
	print '--------------------------------------------' #fancy line

	for i in stocks: #for each stock do this
		stock=i
		
		#This is the url from yahoo...if this changes the script dies, Ill fix it and upload again if it happens.
		csv = urllib2.urlopen('http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s='+ stock +'&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv')
		data = csv.read() #grab csv 
		tokens = data.split(',') #split into tokens

		name=tokens[0].replace('"','') #get rid of quotes
		value=tokens[1] 
		time=tokens[3].replace('"','')
		change=tokens[4]
		openVal=tokens[5]

		print '%5s' % name,'%8s'% value,'%9s'% openVal,'%9s'% change,'%9s'% time #print to screen with formatting
else:
	print 'You forgot to supply your stock quote as an arg' #go back and give the script your stocks as arguments
	print 'Example: python stocks.py goog'

OK, I find where is the error (and it's really not an error).
You must use a monospace font, for test I use Monaco font, and all are align...

You can use Liberation Mono instead of Liberation Sans

Hi all,
I am noob.
I am using Cinnarch, not CrunchBang this is problem here?

I have a problem with a devianart's conky script.
I use Conky Cronograph Script: http://hfcf.deviantart.com/art/Conky-Cr … -278646771

When I start conky from terminal I got these erros:

lionhead · 2013-01-28 15:59:15

i want to display this webcam on my desctop: http://www.ls.eso.org/lasilla/dimm/lasc/gifs/last.gif

because of the different timezone most of the time the telescope is closed. that's why i want to display the webcam only from sunset in chile until sunrise in chile i could grab the neccesary information from the intellicast-webpage. but i do not why. i could use a second instance of v9000 to get this information but because of the reason i only need two datas i would like to have a 'light-version' of v9000.

the rest of the day i would like to display, for example an other webcam (from a different timezone *g*).

edit:

function grab(wert)

updates=tonumber(conky_parse("${updates}"))
interval=100
timer=(updates % interval)
if timer==0 or conky_start==1 then
used_table={}
local web="http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Forecast.aspx?location=CIXX0020"
local file = io.popen("curl "..web)
output=file:read("*a")
file:close()

if wert=='rise' then
-- sonnenaufgang chile
s,f,text=string.find(output,"Rise:</strong> (%d*:%d*%s%u%u)</td>")
elseif wert=='set' then
s,f,text=string.find(output,"Set:</strong> (%d*:%d*%s%u%u)</td>")
end

conky_start=nil

return text

end

the function is not working right do u have an idea what i should do?

Here's something I started working on, but I am stuck.
I had thought of writing fake verses, with info scattered among them. I couldn't think of anything. .... Also, there's a confusion as to which font to use. Tengwar is cool, but it results in gibberish. Any suggestions?

I'll fix the background. It was a quick n dirty job. The chief thing is getting the text.
Also, what is the proper way to put comments in the text part? Right now I insert them into objects like voffset and font, where conky ignores them.

Thanks your reply.
I solved my problem that I install apci and modified my line:

${voffset 29}${offset 100}BAT: ${battery_percent BAT1}% - ${battery_time BAT1}

Now just the weathor not work.

One thing I'd really like, is to 'flatten' the output, so that the top surfaces can be used as well. But I have no idea how.

thats exactly what i meant flattening and adding some perspectiv by straining... but i am as clueless as you..
