is it possible to show the current weather status of mount teide in spain? i do not know a town near this mountain. only the coordinates. the telescope i'm using is on this mountain.

pvsage · 2013-08-23 10:43:17

^ Do you mean Teide in the Canary Islands?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teide
I have yet to experiment with Teo's scripts, but Wunderground is aware of Tenerife, if that helps.

yepp, teide in the canaray islands! the telescopes of slooh are there!

i think that i should try teo's scripts.

PackRat · 2013-08-23 12:04:35

^^ Santa Cruz de Tenerife - capitol city of the island - is available from accuweather and weather.com -

appears to work with Teo's scripts (weather.com anyway):

didn't check for a closer city.

ive been googling for like an hour now and cannot find an answer to my question. How do i make conky display the name of the currently connected network be it wifi or wired? Like id want it to say Network: Linksys342 or Network: TedsWifi etc.

arclance · 2013-08-23 18:53:51

^ I believe you want this.

wireless_essid 	(net) 	
    Wireless access point ESSID (Linux only)

ESSID is the technical name for the Network ID broadcast by a router so this should be what you want.

You would use it like this in a .conkyrc

${wireless_essid wlan0}

replacing "wlan0" with whatever your wireless interface is called on your system.

yes thank you so much! i could not find anyone else displaying their network name with conky so i guess no one else uses this command lol. Again thanks!

PackRat · 2013-08-23 18:59:16

^
for your wireless access point.

${wireless_essid <interface>}

I don't think there is conky setting for a wired network name; you would have to extract that info with another app and use something like awk to parse the info so conky could display it.

edit - what arclance said. 8o

@ chameleon
One thing that someone who understands bash scripts more than I do should check is to make sure the "awk" command is not picking up something extra at the end of the strings it is parsing from the web page.
If it is doing that it could show up at the end of the string in conky.
I don't know enough bash to test that myself.

chameleon · 2013-08-23 20:08:17

@arclance
Interestingly, I decided to do a VOID 32bit install (so far been on 64bit) on a spare rig....
And lo and behold the weird symbols have changed as per screenshot;

I saved the output of the script to a text file like this

lougeradio.sh >> /tmp/test.txt

and opened it in a text editor and found that PackRats idea about dos line endings was correct though the cause is not.

PackRat wrote:

^
What text editor are you using?
Those squares are common if you used a Windows text editor (created by the enter key) to create the conkyrc and can be fixed with dos2unix or a linux text editor. Read back through your posts and doesn't seem to be the case for your issue.

I believe that there is something wrong with the awk and sed combo being used that is not striping these off the string it returns.
This is further supported by the fact that there is a lot of extra white space (four spaces) at the front of the strings that should not be there if this was working correctly.
I am not familiar with either awk or sed so someone else would need to fix that.

Thanks for the feedback - very interesting.
I am sure some 'script kiddy' would be able to manipulate this output.
I have had similar conky text formatting problems in the past and a solution is often found.
Actually, on 32bit I quite like the effect

Thank's, - one question - two actually -

1. where in your conky are you calling the bash script for the music?
2. a VOID 32bit install ??

dk75 · 2013-08-23 21:21:32

@chameleon
You should use this BASH script instead:

    #!/bin/bash
     
    wget http://www.lounge-radio.com/code/pushed_files/now.html -O /tmp/loungeradio.html >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
     
    artist=$(mawk -F"\"" '/id="artist"/{getline; gsub(/<div>|<\/div>/, "", $1); print $1}' /tmp/loungeradio.html)
    album=$(mawk -F"\"" '/id="album"/{getline; gsub(/<div>|<\/div>/, "", $1); print $1}' /tmp/loungeradio.html)
    track=$(mawk -F"\"" '/id="track"/{getline; gsub(/<div>|<\/div>/, "", $1); print $1}' /tmp/loungeradio.html)
     
    wget -q "http://www.lounge-radio.com/code/pushed_files/$(mawk -F"\"" '/id="covercontainer"/ {print $4}' /tmp/loungeradio.html)" -O - | convert - -scale 123x123 /tmp/loungeradio.png
     
    #echo '${image /tmp/loungeradio.png -p 42,42 -s 123x123 }';
    echo 'Artist:' $artist
    echo 'Track:'  $track
    echo 'Album:'  $album
     
    exit

install "mawk" (lightweight AWK), and use updated script (same post) which converts every pictures to PNG

Wodanford · 2013-08-23 22:06:48

Let me throw in some basic conky stuff as well. As a movie buff, I tried to blend the Tron: Legacy color scheme with a Terminator/Skynet-esque GUI. The hostname, IP, time and "mugshot" are objects, the rest plain text and images. Some graphs like disk I/O and cpu usage are on my wish list but I am not unhappy with the current result.

Source material:

The only thing that I changed in rc.xml is the name of the first desktop. The number of desktops is reduced to just one.

Edit1: I used spaces to get the Terminator series and model besides the image, instead of right over it. I guess this should be decently dealt with through columns, or perhaps even a fourth conky.
Edit2: Since I can't get my wlan working yet, I tethered the connection through my phone. If you want the first script to work for you, you might want to change usb0 to eth0 or wlan0.
Edit3: Updated file locations.

@Wodanford nice looking setup.. I like the integration between conky and background.

Naik · 2013-08-24 06:06:44

@dk75: Thanks for "mawkin" the ugly code!
I have to admite that i had no idea about awk and sed, before starting this radio-projekt...

@raggamtrix: i dont think this is possible! This script only works because there is this *now.html where all the info is put together in a nice fluffy html.
But: I personaly are listening to livestreams a lot to and if you get the stream-address and play them in moc you will have to advantages 1. the webplayer-thingy will be out of your way 2. if you are lucky title and artist can be shown in conky (${exec mocp -Q %title}), as provided by the streamhoster!
(this should work with mpd and xmms as well)

chameleon · 2013-08-24 09:44:16

@dk75
Thanks for the feedback.I am testing out a new distro at the moment (Void) and I have asked the developer to package mawk.
Keep you posted...

dk75 · 2013-08-24 16:18:10

Just use AWK instead - it have even more options that MAWK.
Some scripts for AWK could not work with MAWK but every works with GAWK.
