HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[Cvetan]

Thanks, i will return to weather later. Now i am reconfiguring the whole conky for my new monitor 24". Got everything good until calendar setting. Look.

And here are the settings:

A.A.H. is Always Above Horizon [...]

Oh, okay. I didn't even know that was possible.

Guess I need to pay closer attention...

I have yet to install the most recent version:

vindsl@Zuul:~$ apt-cache policy conkywx
conkywx:
  Installed: 0.9.1-1
  Candidate: 0.9.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.1-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
vindsl@Zuul:~$

Your patches are working fine, though. I'll upgrade this weekend.

Thanks!

Paramvir,

I made the change to parsewxdata.pl as you suggested but am receiving this error when running conky...

dtokarz@Plank46 ~ $ conky
Conky: forked to background, pid is 7329
dtokarz@Plank46 ~ $
Conky: desktop window (c00029) is subwindow of root window (297)
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (0x3400002)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Argument "82M-BM-0" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at /usr/share/conkywx/lib/parsewxdata.pl line 81.

Any clue what this is? Still getting the N/A for images and other errors.

I sorted calendar out. Back to weather now.

I read the manual again, but i still don't know how to display those icon sets in weather.

No worries Cvetan - in a terminal window - type conkywx - you will get conkywx assistant - choose option 4 - this will create a debug file in the conkywx temp directory in /tmp/wx-your user name-config file name-pChA_r_27u0-m39

please attach that in your next message

check the paths - file locations in the .conkyrc file you are using.

The error you are getting does not affect the output.

Having said that send me the files - also your conkyrc, conkywx conf file and what ever you can - put it in a zip file and attach and your issues and challenges with conky will be resolved. I need to replicate and see what or where ...

cheers

I nearly mixed your and Cvetan's messages lol

That 82M-BM-0 error is a non issue - it does not affect output.

you need to attach some data I can see - your conf files - check the debug output - your location etc etc

Edit: - before I run out - If it was fine 2 days back then only thing you needed to fix was the perl parser as suggested. and if you are not in the US and having problems - I would like to know as I am not having any issues displaying conky for any location now. I want to resolve your and Cvetan's issues b4 next release - just in case

Thanks for the assistance. I've attached my .conf and debug files.

Can you please re-install conkywx 0.9.2 and then make a change to parsewxdata.pl - the term weather station should get removed and data should start on the 4th line - strange number is getting put in there - check you have pasted the correct line.
