script and command in conky 1.10

chepioq · 2015-12-02 18:35:18

I test conky 1.10 on my fedora rawhide and I have a problem with a line in the conky-text.
with conky 1.9 I have that for my conky-meteo :

${execi 300 cp -f ~/conky-meteo/icons/$(grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/meteo.xml | grep -o "code=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*").png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p -1,1 -s 32x32}

And that work fine.

With conky 1.10 that don't work and I have this error :

[dominique@host-192-168-1-2 ~]$ conky -c /home/dominique/conky-meteo/conky-meteo
conky: desktop window (c00003) is subwindow of root window (284)
conky: window type - normal
conky: drawing to created window (0x4600002)
conky: drawing to double buffer
cp: impossible d'évaluer « /home/dominique/conky-meteo/icons/.png »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
cp: impossible d'évaluer « /home/dominique/conky-meteo/icons/.png »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

I think the problem is with

$(grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/meteo.xml | grep -o "code=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*").png

witch return nothing in the conky.
In console that work :

[dominique@host-192-168-1-2 ~]$ grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/meteo.xml | grep -o "code=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*"
27
[dominique@host-192-168-1-2 ~]

How solve that ?

are you aware that conky 1.10 uses a lua-based syntax that is not compatible with the old conky syntax?
looks to me like your using the old syntax there.
iirc there's a script to convert to the new syntax in /usr/share/conky, but it doesn't always work.

Here is a sample 1.10 conky. Key changes are the enclosing brackets for the top portion of the entry and ensuring that every line up there ends with a comma. Then the section where the text goes needs to be wrapped in [[ and ]]. I was able to do this conversion by hand in short enough time.

@ohnonot
it's not the first conky I transform to conky 1.10, I have 3 conky that work well with 1.10 version with new syntax.

The problem is just with the line I shaw.

With conky 1.9 It look like that :

cp: impossible d'évaluer « /home/dominique/conky-meteo/icons/.png »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

what does that mean?

also, i'm not sure if you can do things like this:

${execi 300 cp -f ~/conky-meteo/icons/27.png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p -1,1 -s 32x32}

(i replaced the grep oneliner with '27')
... i don't know yet, but we will find it ...

ideas:
- try to use links ('ln -s ...') instead of copying.
- is the image "weather.png" actually created?
- maybe the ~/.cache folder is not the right place.

of course none of that explains why it would work with conky 1.9.

PackRat · 2015-12-04 13:57:13

what does that mean?

"can't evaluate, no files or folders of this type"

@chepioq -

Instead of ~/conky-meteo/ try the full path /home/<username>/conky-meteo

I've had similar issues where a conkyrc that used to work no longer does; changing to the full path typically solves the problem. I have never delved into the conky bug reports to see if there is an issue with conky interpreting the "~".

chepioq · 2015-12-04 14:33:17

@PackRat
I change to full path with same problem.

@ohnonot
I change for other folder than /.cache, same problem.

But I can see the image is created if I launch conky command many times, but it's not regular, once it's weather.png, after weather5.png etc...

I increased imlib_cache_size to 16384, same problem.

May be conky 1.10 is not able to do that actually...

As you noted that works perfectly in v1.9:

${execi 300 cp -f /media/5/Conky/images/6.7.png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p 10,20 -s 32x32}

That's it just below the time.

However, and as PackRat has mentioned "changing to the full path typically solves the problem".

There are times all of these work in a conky and other times 1 or 2 will fail, 2 not so often but I have yet to see 3 fail:
1. $HOME/something
2. ~/something
3. /home/<username>/something

Somethings I have read on the net seem to indicate that v1.10 isn't 100% ready as 'some' commands aren't implimented yet. But "${execi 300 cp -f" seems like a perfectly legal command.

@chepioq
Have you considered doing most of that in a bash script similar to what Teo does with his scripts?
It could be that you are flooding yweather:forecast with the commnad to get information every 300 seconds when the sites usually update once an hour and it's choking on something. Just a thought

tknomanzr · 2015-12-04 14:39:00

Wasn't there some kind of issue with execi in conky 1.10? You might try a different execution method and see if that helps. You might also try wrapping that cp -f script into a bash script and executing it that way.

Sector11 · 2015-12-04 14:53:57

I was editing (adding the @chepioq part) when you added that. So we crossed bows.

For test I made a bash script :

The problem is with the cp -f command

Try this:

${execpi 600 bash /home/dominique/conky-meteo/weather.sh}

And maybe put it all in the bash script with the 'curl' line first. This way the "curl" line 'creates/overwrites' the file: /home/dominique/conky-meteo/meteo.xml that none of the other lines create:

I only tried it in a terminal as I have v1.9 here, and like you it worked.
If that doesn't work try removing the "-f"

chepioq · 2015-12-05 06:26:40

Ok Sector11, with your script that work without error.

I thought of another way, but I am not able to write the lua script :
create a lua script which launch the script weather.sh, and add in conkyrc two lines like this :

lua_load = 'script.lua',
lua_draw_hook_pre = 'fonction_lua',

With that, I think weather script is launch before conky start.

ohnonot · 2015-12-05 09:47:45

have you tried using "ln" instead of "cp"?
as in

${execi 300 ln -s ~/conky-meteo/icons/27.png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p -1,1 -s 32x32}

Sector11 · 2015-12-05 11:55:52

@chepioq

Happy I could help.

@ohnonot

'ln' - interesting. I've never seen that before in a conky.

It didn't work for me - at first. It uses whatever image was there last.
So I deleted the weather.png and did this:

Weather.png »»${execi 300 ln -s ~/conky-meteo/icons/27.png ~/conky-meteo/weather.png}${image ~/conky-meteo/weather.png -p 105,130 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/27.png -p 145,130 -s 32x32}${alignr 10}27



${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/27.png -p 5,175 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/28.png -p 45,175 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/29.png -p 85,175 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/30.png -p 125,175 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/31.png -p 164,175 -s 32x32}
 27    28    29    30    31

weather.png and 27.png look good.

Killed the conky and made a change:

Weather.png »»${execi 300 ln -s ~/conky-meteo/icons/30.png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p 105,130 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/30.png -p 145,130 -s 32x32}${alignr 10}30

weather.png didn't change ...

Next I added the "-force" option ( ln -fs ) and BINGO!

Weather.png »»${execi 300 ln -fs ~/conky-meteo/icons/31.png ~/conky-meteo/weather.png}${image ~/conky-meteo/weather.png -p 105,130 -s 32x32}\
${image ~/conky-meteo/icons/31.png -p 145,130 -s 32x32}${alignr 10}« 31

a composite image to show the results:

Nice idea, another one for my archive. Thank you ohnonot

Is there an advantage using 'ln' over 'cp' command other than to see if the 'cp -f' was the problem itself in v1.10?

I'm horrible around LUA - my conky days are numbered.

But yes you are right.

lua_draw_hook_pre - before conky starts
lua_draw_hook_post - after conky starts

which means you can actually run 2 different LUA scripts - if you didn't want to merge them to 1 script

Glad your weather is working.

I can merge two scripts lua in one with a wlourf script.

I have a calendar conky with with moon phase and two scripts lua (square_to_round.lua and calendar.lua)

The wlourf script :

--script by wlourf : http://u-scripts.blogspot.fr/2011/02/howto-run-multiple-lua-scripts-in-conky.html

package.path = "/home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-calendrier/?.lua"
require 'calendar' --for script.lua ".lua" is not required here
require 'square_to_round'

function conky_loadAll()
     conky_calendar_box()
     conky_main('/home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-calendrier/moon-phase/moon.jpg')
end

And I launch this script in my conky with :

lua_load = '/home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-calendrier/loadAll.lua',
lua_draw_hook_post = 'loadAll',

And that work with conky 1.10

chepioq · 2015-12-05 18:36:30

@ohnonot

I test your suggestion (ln -fs instead of cp -f in the script weather.sh), and that also work.

"ln -fs" is a little faster than "cp -f", for same result.

ohnonot · 2015-12-05 20:43:49

oh goody, i forgot the -f = force switch.

Sector11 wrote:

it should be a lot faster and thus mostly eliminate conky trying to access half-copied images.
it also saves disk space - although that is rarely a problem on a modern machine.
in the end it depends on the size of the image being copied.

but that didn't solve op's problem, either...? tbh, i lost track of what's going on.

Hi all
I find how launch a bash script with lua.
My script is weather.sh

I create a lua script (weather.lua):

function conky_main()
  os.execute("/home/dominique/conky-meteo/weather.sh")
  end

and I launch this script in my conky with

lua_load = '/home/dominique/conky-meteo/weather.lua',
lua_draw_hook_pre = 'main',

If that help you.
