Re: The Carbon Conky

^ @marens nice and simple and works fine on wayland.

Would be nice if we didn't have to double up on http requests , but that would need a script then, rather than a one-liner.

echo '#include <stdio.h>\nvoid main() { printf("Hi, bunsenlabs\\n"); return; }' > bunsen.c
gcc bunsen.c -o bunsen

Re: The Carbon Conky

Here is a simple Conky I made recently:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 71#p146171

Conky downloads the "Thought of the Day" from the website:
https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/

No script needed:

${color DADADA}${texeci 3600 curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<p>' | sed '3q;d' | sed 's/<p>//' | sed 's/<\/p>//' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | fmt -w 40}
${voffset 10}${alignr}${color FF8080}${texeci 3600 curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<strong>' | sed '2q;d' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | awk -F'</strong>' '{print $1}' | sed 's/<div class="quote-auth"><strong>//'}

Thanks for this!
Unfortunately, it looks as if it might not run on conky 10:

john@boron:~/tmp$ conky -c qotd.conky.conf 
conky: Syntax error (qotd.conky.conf:1: unexpected symbol near '$') while reading config file. 
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.
conky: [string "..."]:148: attempt to index a nil value (local 'settings')

]
But then I wonder why

works fine on wayland

?

Re: The Carbon Conky

^ don't know what that error refers too, and conky 10?

I simplified the 'sed' operations a bit and eliminated awk, just because! Maybe it will help?

${color DADADA}${texeci 3600 curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<p>' | sed '3q;d' | sed -e 's/<p>//' -e 's/<\/p>//' -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | fmt -w40 }
${voffset 10}${alignr}${color FF8080}${texeci 3600 curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<strong>' | sed '2q;d' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/^.*<strong>//' -e 's/<.*$//'}

That's what is working for me, but I can't see a reason @maren's original wouldn't work

Re: The Carbon Conky

We're shipping a  lot of more-or-less identical conkys in bunsen-conky, different mostly in colour, maybe font.
How about dropping BL-Beryllium-conky.conf  *Lithium* *Helium* *Hydrogen* and *Classic* leaving the ones which are actually different in some way.

And possibly adding a couple of new ones, if the conky people have any suggestions?

Perhaps those conkies could be kept in some package named like bunsen-legacy-conky for those who want the older conkies, and don't have to be shipped on the ISO but just an apt-get install away.

Thoughts?

Re: The Carbon Conky

^Considering the only difference most of those conkys have from the current default is colour or maybe font - easily tweaked by even newcomers - I wonder if making a new bunsen-conky-extras package is worth the effort?

True, maybe what others think? If that's all the differences are then yeah may as well drop them.
