[SOLVED] wget progress format

Hi,

command

wget https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.1.0/atom-amd64.deb

shows me multiline progress like this

atom-amd64.deb.2   1%[>            ]   1,32M   577KB/s
atom-amd64.deb.2   2%[>            ]   1,67M   634KB/s

atom-amd64.deb.2   5%[===>         ]   3,78M   779KB/s   eta 88s
atom-amd64.deb.2   5%[===>         ]   3,96M   803KB/s   eta 86s
...

How can I switch progress into single line? I tried various options, but without success...

Not helpful! What options have you tried?

Have you looked at the wget manpages? `--progress` might do what you need.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

That would happen with
- somehow borken terminal (emulator)
- or sort of a terminal that does not support input buffering
- wget probably expects min-width (by default)

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

When I run Hydrogen in VirtualBox (5.x), command

wget https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.1.0/atom-amd64.deb

shows multiline output, same command in "non VirtualBox" Hydrogen instalation returns single line.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

i just tried the exact same command in both archlinux and bunsenlabs and the only way i can reproduce that is by constantly holding the down arrow. (*)

so,
- do you have a ~/.wgetrc?
- what terminal emul do you use?
- is your keyboard broken?

(*) if i resize the term to less than a certain width, wget switches to a display similar to what you describe in post #1, but that's by design.

- I don't have ~/.wgetrc
- terminal emulator is terminator
- I don't think my keyboard is broken. In other distros (Manjaro 15.x, Mint 17, Xubuntu 14.04, Crunchbang Waldorf...) in VirtualBox on the same machine wget works fine.

I try to change the size of the terminator window...

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

Tell us the output of

echo $TERM

Maybe wrong terminfo settings?

echo $TERM returns xterm

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

...and your terminal is?

Are you forcing $TERM in any of your shell configuration files?

grep TERM ~/.{bash_profile,profile,bashrc}

My terminal is terminator and I have new clean Hydrogen installation in VirtualBox without any customizations, but if I run Hydrogen live in same VirtualBox wget works fine, so I will try to install it again.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

Seems the problem is in setting of LANG variable. If LANG is en_US.UTF-8 wget works fine, if LANG is cs_CZ.UTF-8 wget returns multiline progress.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

If that is the problem, then

LANG=C wget https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.1.0/atom-amd64.deb

will probably work fine no matter what LANG you have set.
This sets LANG to C for the wget command only.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

^ that's a workaround, but xdaks seems to have a real problem there.
unfortunately, i have no clue why it would do it with czech, but not with english.
one thought: try it with czech, then unplug the keyboard while downloading (i hope it's not a laptop).

please don't forget to supply this output:

grep TERM ~/.{bash_profile,profile,bashrc}

grep TERM ~/.{bash_profile,profile,bashrc} returns

grep: /home/xdaks/.bash_profile: Directory or file not exist
/home/xdaks/.bashrc:case "$TERM" in
/home/xdaks/.bashrc:case "$TERM" in

Disconnecting the keyboard does not affect anything, progress is still multiline.

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

i'm stumped...

try this with a different terminal emulator.
other apps use a similar progress bar; maybe curl, or apt-get. have you tried with other apps?
can you in fact reproduce any kind of similar behavior with any other application or terminal emulator?

- same multiline wget output in gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, tty...

- command:

curl -L -O -# https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.1.0/atom-amd64.deb

shows single line progress bar, also "fancy progress" in apt-get is single line

- I have no idea, how to reproduce similar behavior with other application...

Re: [SOLVED] wget progress format

seems you found a bug in wget.
you should file a bug report!

as a workaround, maybe you can use this:

‘--local-encoding=encoding’
    Force Wget to use encoding as the default system encoding. That affects how Wget converts URLs specified as arguments from locale to UTF-8 for IRI support.
    Wget use the function nl_langinfo() and then the CHARSET environment variable to get the locale. If it fails, ASCII is used.
    You can set the default local encoding using the local_encoding command in .wgetrc. That setting may be overridden from the command line.

More likely a bug in Virtualbox?

oh, i see.
well, i run bl in a vm and can't reproduce the problem, but i haven't installed czech locale.
so until someone tries that, it could be either...
