w3m by the 3M company!
Good stuff that.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 1_accuweather - Release Candidate 1
Accuweather's changed their pages' layout again.
Lynx downloads the old layout and then downloads the new layout for the next 4-5 times.
w3m consistently brings the new one so I've decided to switch to w3m for the 1_accuweather script.

A new layout means that the whole thing, at least at its core, had to be written anew.

I've managed to keep the old conkyrc's mostly intact, although the output files have changed:
We no longer have a 10 days' forecast divided into first_days and last_days, but a file called daily_forecast holds a 15 day forecast. This does not only provide info for the days, but for the nights as well.
Simirarly, we don't get two files called hourly1 and hourly 2 for 8+8 hours, but a single file called hourly which contains a 24hours' weather forecast.
The parameter -h_8h has changed to -h_12h. If added with an hourly forecast, the file created by the script (altogether24, altogether24_2015 or altogether24_2016) has info for only 12 hours and not 24.

Execpi has been replaced with texeci everywhere. The exceptions are the calls to the altogether files which need execpi to function properly.

A git repository has been created for the script, see the first page.
All you have to do is navigate to your home folder and run

git clone https://gitlab.com/teobigusgeekus/1_accuweather.git

Whenever there is an update, you go inside the 1_accuweather folder and run

git pull

Git will download whatever's changed ignoring what hasn't.
Talking about magic, heh?...

Thanks to morfik and ohnonot for getting my lazy ass to use git.

As always with a new script, treat it with tenderness and affection. I tried to test it as much as I could but I can only manage up to a point.
Your feedback and opinions are always welcome.

PS: I couldn't test the old conkyrc files thoroughly because they look atrocious on my system (dpi etc.) I just made sure that all the info was there, I couldn't do anything about the layout. The latter shouldn't have any changes at all, but you never know.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2_Wunderground - Release Candidate 3
As you already know, the WUnderground script has been rewritten from scratch.
A git repository has been added to the first page, see the previous post on what to do with it.
Please pardon my monstrous conkyrc files, but my 4k monitor's dpi settings are to blame, sorry.
As with 1_accuweather, your feedback and opinions are always welcome for this script as well.

accuweather

Teo, thank you so much for your work.

I can tell you the following so far:
- downloading and processing the data with git works great

- in the script you're standing:

weather_conky_launch_command="conky -b"

I changed it that way:

weather_conky_launch_command="conky -c ~/rolfi/.conkyrc10"

- i changed my address and copied it into my old VZ

For security reasons I terminated all Conky instances and executed the start command in the terminal. There are no errors.

The files
curr_cond
curr_cond_raw
daily_forecast

was created.

first_days and last_days remain empty. They are also not updated.

PS:
OK, I take it all back. Anyone who can read has a clear advantage. :8
Your original files work perfectly.

I have to "knit" my own files.

Thanks for the motivation, I'd never would have been arsed to do it otherwise.
I changed the contents of the repository so that everything is now in the 2_Wunderground folder.

It seems you started from scratch; I could not 'git pull' ("refusing to merge unrelated histories" or some such) - I had to remove the folder and 'git clone ...' again.

But even so, I find this much more convenient than gevil drive.

If you do want to use some of the enormous benefits of git, you should get aquainted with 2 things:

install git on your own machine and make your packages actual git repos on your machine
set up an ssh key to easily push changes to github

maybe you should do the second step first:
https://help.github.com/en/enterprise/2 … ub-account
(it talks about enterprise accounts here, but i'm pretty sure this has always been possible for everyone)

then this basically walks you through the rest:

I know unklar, it couldn't be helped, I'll have to fix my own configuration as well.
Let's hope that Accuweather won't screw the whole thing again...

You got me, I did start from scratch.
The first folder/repo was a temporary one to test git, now that I found my way through it I put it on its proper place.

I did create git repos on my machine with git init and pushed them to their github repositories.
As for the ssh key, we'll see...
What matters is that I've moved on from Google Drive, the whole thing was bothering me as well.
You see, whenever I dedicate time to the scripts, I try to correct/rewrite them. By the time I achieve the latter I just say "Well screw it, everything works, who's got the time for git".
But this time I actually did it and I'm very glad about it; thanks again mate!

Just out of curiosity, why do you still use 1.9?

I have a deb here:

conky-pre2_2.0_git20121101-1_amd64.deb
date: 07/01/2013 on my machine but the git date: 2012

a "beta" of what was being called the new 'conky v2' back then, but it became conky v1.10 instead. It was the first "LUA based conky and I hated it.

When conky v1.10 first came out I grabbed it eager to test. What a mess it made of my conkys.

No "pre_exec" command which I use quite a few of in various conkys.
There is at least one other command that is missing, can't remember what it is at the moment.

And the mess it made of using other lua scripts made by mrpeachy, wlourf, easysid or the draw_bg.lua script originally by llondonali1010.

So I went back to installing v1.9 and placing a "hold" on it. Until head_on_a_stick compiled conky v1:1.9.0 that will always be "newer" then v1.11 and quite possibly conky v2.0 is/when that comes out.

Also by running v1.9 it means that a good 85% of my old conkys, 3146 of them according to catfish, still work. Might need some tweaking do to changes in fonts over the years etc but ....

There you have it.

Also I just plain do not like the new LUA conky and since the idea behind Linix is "having it your way" ....

About pre_exec, have you looked at this?

^ Hello loutch, Did you renamed the whole icons? I love these ones, the same of the first intellicast script from mr peachy (I think)

My limited search concluded that github is my best option for a git repository, so I didn't overthink it.
I don't much care about Microsoft or Google or Apple, as long as I don't pay them anything.
In any case, I can move my repositories anywhere else whenever I want, so, there you go.

No, github is passé, it was nice some time ago, till M$ took it. Now ppl move away from it, even open gapps moved somewhere else because of github's shitty policy. I would suggest gitlab -- it's a way better.

Also, you created the 1_accuweather/ dir inside of the root git repository. This isn't a good thing. When you git clone this repo, you will have 1_accuweather/1_accuweather/ dir structure, and you have to move the subdir to a parent dir, so conky would render properly. You have to create git repo directly inside of the 1_accuweather/ directory.

Also use some file editor which can strip a file from white spaces -- you left a lot of them, and diff shows them all. Use geany, for instance.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-08-26 12:51:14

Is gitlab free?

morfik · 2019-08-26 12:53:59

Yes, it's free.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-08-26 12:58:20

I signed up and the page says that I can only use it for free for just 30 days.

Nope, apparently this is gitlab gold or something.
