Conky and RSS
This is obviously a topic which has been discussed a lot, and yet I've been unsuccessful in finding a solution to my rather simple problem.
In short:
* I want to follow various different RSS feeds.
* I need only titles.
* I only want updates from within a given time period, or the most recent N updates.
* I need the ability to wrap lines to a given width.
* I want to disregard any formatting, html or otherwise.
It seems simple enough, an I've been trying to find a text based RSS parser or whatever to help in my endeavors, but as I said, I haven't been very successful.
My current, and very temporary solution, for the Arch News feed alone, using the tools I know, looks like this:
curl -s https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/<link>[^<>]*<\/link><description>[^<>]*<\/description><dc:creator[^>]*>[^<>]*<\/dc:creator>//g;s/<title>\|<\/title>/___/g;s/<pubDate>\|<\/pubDate>\|<guid[^>]*>[^<>]*<\/guid>\|<\/\?item>\|^.*<\/lastBuildDate>\|<\/channel>.*$\|\+0000//g' | awk -F "___" 'END{for(i=0;i<20;i+=2){sub(/Jan/,"01",$(i+3));sub(/Feb/,"02",$(i+3));sub(/Mar/,"03",$(i+3));sub(/Apr/,"04",$(i+3));sub(/May/,"05",$(i+3));sub(/Jun/,"06",$(i+3));sub(/Jul/,"07",$(i+3));sub(/Aug/,"08",$(i+3));sub(/Sep/,"09",$(i+3));sub(/Oct/,"10",$(i+3));sub(/Now/,"11",$(i+3));sub(/Dec/,"12",$(i+3));$(i+3)=substr($(i+3),12,4) " " substr($(i+3),9,2) " " substr($(i+3),6,2) " " substr($(i+3),17,2) " " substr($(i+3),20,2) " " substr($(i+3),23,2);$(i+3)=mktime(strftime("%Y %m %d %H %M %S"))-mktime($(i+3));if($(i+3)<3600*24*7)printf "%s\n",$(i+2)}}'| fold -s -w60
So you can imagine my annoyance that I haven't been able to do better. Sure it works, but man it's ugly. Well, I could probably do a little better, but the main point is that the approach is simply wrong.
So, getting to the point, I'd be very interested in hearing your recommendations.
Best regards.

Numerous languages have XML and even RSS parsing libraries. If you don't already know one of these then this would be a perfect little project to learn one. I would recommend starting with Python and the feedparser module. The module is available under the name python-feedparser in the official repos.
It should be straight-forward to do what you want. In any case I doubt that it will be anywhere near as complex as the pipe in your post.
I seem to recall messing about with feedparser back in the day, and having a bunch of trouble due to py2/3 complications. In any case that is probably where I'll end up, if nothing else shows up, but I was thinking more along the lines of a text based news aggregator or something, from which I can simply take the output, clean it up a bit and be done with it.
Sadly none of those I've tried have worked out for me.
Anyway, thanks for your input.

[SOLVED] Conky and RSS feeds
I'm trying to get rss feed to conky from cnn.com. I have tried:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss feed_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_titles 10}
But I always get "Conky: Error Processing RSS data" I've tried other feed and they work, but I don't think they used *.rss, it was *.xml How do I need to fix this to work?
Thanks in advance
Last edited by silentcontender (2009-12-30 19:11:03)I tried the link and didn't work until I found out the actual problem . I have to define the update interval even though there's a default update interval, so this worked:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss 15 item_titles 10}
or
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.xml 15 item_titles 10 } works too. -
[solved] Issue with conky and Kde 4
I have a small issue with conky and KDE 4.2. I start conky with a script which I stored under ~/.kde/Autostart. The script is simple and looks like this..
conky -c ~/.conkyrc_kde4
This works fine. But when I restart the first KDE and check with ps, I have 2 instances of conky running. The instances keep on growing with the number of restarts.
I think kde tries to restart all the apps which were running when the session was terminated. Is there a way to change this behavior in general or all the programs or for only a specific program like conky ?

How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?
I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
Thanks! -
Conky and top reporting differently
Here are some screen caps of conky and terminal running top command. The part I am interested in is the processes, one says 85 while the other says 105?
I question this because when I had gnome-system-monitor installed it would always show gnome-keyring-daemon as being open multiple times when I would logout and log back in. But, a fresh reboot would fix the issue.
what exactly is going on? How can I keep uninstalling things and when I reboot my processes in conky keep going up and up?
I am now running xfce and trying to rid myself of things I don't need like gnome based programs. The only thing stopping me from ridding myself of this gnome-keyring is GDM? But what login manager would I use if I don't use GDM, Any suggestions?
How do I post pictures?

Hello.
I have couple of computers with conky and cpufreq working. All fine there. It was so also on my notebook, which had Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I reinstalled to 9.10 and since then my conky reports full frequency.
There was a lot of other issues, so I decided to finally remove Ubuntu and take the time to install Arch. Things are much better with Arch on this notebook, but I did not get rid of the frequency scaling problem. It is Thinkpad X31 btw.
According to powertop and cpufreq-info, the frequency scaling is working. Conky reports 1400Mhz all the time.
Here is my cpufreq-info:

As you can see I even put that part of script, which takes values from cpufreq-info into conky, but it still does show wrong values.
When I manually set frequency to 600Mhz, it shows up in conky.
With Ubuntu 9.04 this was working fine, so I wonder what has recently changed that could have resulted in this behaviour.Archiee wrote:[...]
- Frequency step size is configurable (default to 100MHz/step) (cpufreq doesn't support this)
If I'm not mistaken it's the CPU that tells the utility what frequencies it can switch to; not the other way around. Remember each frequency has a voltage tied to it. Also, he's not asking about a way to manage his cpuf requency management, just about a glitch in actualy frequency reporting.
@ topic starter: why are you grepping cpufreq-info if you can have conky just read it out for you? It's a hardcoded conky feature...
From their documentation:
freq (n) Returns CPU #n's frequency in MHz. CPUs are counted from 1. If omitted, the parameter defaults to 1

Hi,
when I'm using thunderbird from arch pkg I don't have option to create RSS account (File -> New ->Account... opens window where I can choose email or news gruoups). When I use release from Mozilla page in popup window I can choose also 'Movemail' and 'RSS'. Is thunderbird in ARCH changed or its some bug?Thunderbird still works for me in terms of RSS and I can get all of my other feeds other than the Arch Linux package feed. I know this is somehow a limitation of the Thunderbird RSS way of reading things or perhaps the Arch package itself which I am using as even the AUR package list works fine.
Is it in the works to get this working? The reason why I switched all my mail from Evolution to Thunderbird was so that I could have a mail client and RSS reader in one instead of using 2 separate apps (I was using Liferea before which is a very good reader in its own right).
So, I'm wondering if this is a dead issue or if there is still hope for this Arch package to work correctly. -
Hello,
Are there any samples of OSMF and RSS integration?
I've found the only one - Akamai plugin sample:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/osmf/trunk/apps/samples/plugins/AkamaiPluginSam ple/src/AkamaiPluginSample.mxml
Thank you in advance,
Kioshin10That's the only one. It shows you how to load the feed and get the top level DOM object. You should be good to go from there. It supports Atom and RSS and media extension tags such as iTunes and MediaRSS.
The spec is here:
http://osmf.org/dev/osmf/specpdfs/SyndicationSupport.pdf
Please let us know if you have any specific questions.
Thanks,

MobileMe and RSS as Screen Savers
System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver/Pictures.
Is there a way to stop the Apple product ads from showing as one of my screen savers? I've tried several ways to eliminate them and haven't been successful. If the 'MobileMe and RSS'is checked, I see the ads; if the 'MobileMe and RSS' is not checked I get a message saying 'no pictures are selected'.Sorry, I get it now. My issue was similar but not the same as yours. I have never subscribed to picture-only RSS feeds so I guess I can't address your issue. As I said, I was trying to have other peoples' MM galleries show up in the list of screen savers, which I was finally able to do using my instructions (you don't need to belong to MobileMe to do this by the way, all you need is the username of a friend who does subscribe and has set up a MM gallery - for example, my username is "rbarline" in case you want to check out my "public slide show" gallery as a screen saver ... :~)
Now I am curious about picture-only RSS feeds and would like to try one as a screen saver. Can you send me a feed URL to try? Maybe there is a way after all? -
Xcompmgr messing with openbox windows (conky and kde apps only)
here's the involved packages:
openbox 3.4.7.2-1
nvidia 177.82-1
xorg-server 1.5.3-3
xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
kdelibs3 3.5.10-2
conky 1.6.1-2
now the issue is primarily with xcompmgr. when it's running (default options or the whole -cCfF... stuff doesn't make a difference). i have the following:
whenever a kde apps window opens. (i.e. i start amarok or k3b; k3b opens new windows during burn start/stop process) my conky will disappear only to flicker and reappear a few seconds later. (this only happens with kde apps)
when i'm tweaking my conky i will often `pkill conky; sleep 3; conky` to see my changes. when i kill conky, ALL of my active windows on the current desktop disappear and only reappear if a) they are redrawn because of an update to their contents on their own accord, or b) (kinda the same thing) i grab a window and drag it all over the screen resetting whatever i pass over to it's correct visual state. (this only happens when killing conky)
this is annoying me, i love the shadows/fading from xcompmgr but this flickering makes my whole experience feel unstable and i have to turn it off after a few minutes. turn off xcompmgr and it's rock solid just as before... snappier too i think.
this behavior started immediately after the recent xorg update (i saved that for last because i know were all sick of _that_). i changed nothing, but for the -Syu when this happened.
anyways, your thoughts and help is much appreciated.so i'm resurrecting this thread because i hoped, and prayed, that xorg 1.6 in testing would fix this problem. i've been working my ass off to keep my system back in xorg 1.4. my desktop just looks so oldfashioned w/o shadows and transparency.
ok so to re-outline, i'm running:
pacman -Q stuff
xorg-server 1.6.0-1
nvidia 180.29-3
openbox 3.4.7.2-1
xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
with this gpu:
hwd -s | grep video
Video : GeForce 7150 / nForce 630i server: XFree86 (vesa)
i created a minimal xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig an added a few suggested options (although they _really_ don't seem to affect this bug...):
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Feb 5 00:08:50 PST 2009

SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
EndSection
now, here's what happens:
i startx, .xinitrc or autostart.sh bring up xcompmgr, bmpanel, and conky
if i open amarok or k3b, conky and bmpanel (both using transparency) vanish while the splash screen(s) show.
when i burn something with k3b (and new windows appear) i see similar behavior
sometimes it's just for a sec and then it's back, sometimes conky comes back with part of itself missing
also, if you execute `pkill conky` from an xterm, all windows are 'destroyed' until you [blindly] grab that xterm window and move it about your desktop 'revealing' the desktops contents. please see this screenshot for this in action.
killing xcompmgr fixes all this... but it's so ugly. the problems go away if i downgrade to xorg-server 1.4 (and also adjust any related/dependant packages to match).
please please, tell me i'm not alone! a fix would be nice too .
thanks in advance... again

MobileMe and RSS screen saver missing in Snow Leopard!
In Leopard, in Desktop & Screen Saver, under Pictures, There is a screen saver called MobileMe and RSS, which allowed you to subscribe to picture RSS feeds and would display them as a slideshow when the screen saver activated.
I found that screen saver option is no longer available in Snow Leopard. I thought I would just go to a Leopard machine and copy the screen saver file to Snow Leopard, but its not in the screen saver folder (Drive -> System -> Library -> Screen Savers).
Why did apple remove this functionality? Is there anyway to get it back?Sorry, I get it now. My issue was similar but not the same as yours. I have never subscribed to picture-only RSS feeds so I guess I can't address your issue. As I said, I was trying to have other peoples' MM galleries show up in the list of screen savers, which I was finally able to do using my instructions (you don't need to belong to MobileMe to do this by the way, all you need is the username of a friend who does subscribe and has set up a MM gallery - for example, my username is "rbarline" in case you want to check out my "public slide show" gallery as a screen saver ... :~)

I originally posted this in the Newbie Corner, as I consider myself a newbie, but got no answers there and I think my issue is pretty kernel-HW-related, excuse me for re-posting.
I was editing an old peaceful Conky and it somewhen started making high use of the CPU (around 30-40% avg.). As I couldn't figure out where the problem was, took out every configuration line in the conky file and ended up with the few following lines, which are by themselves triggering the same high CPU usage. I don't have much experience with Conky, could anyone explain me if this behaviour would be expected from this simple code or is there something else?
Thank you.

[Solved]Conky and word wrapping - Is there a way?
So I have a very limited area to work with, something like 176x360 (+/- a few pixels), and I want the ability to show an RSS feed. Well, the feed works of course, but due to the limited width, I'm in great need of word wrapping, and for that problem I have found no solution and going on for 2-3 hours straight, my head hurts

I know this looks confusing and probably is full of critical error, but that simple because I'm a conky noob. I basically just downloaded a profile I liked and completely changed it over the course of a few hours.
Anyway, I'm rambling again, but if you've got any idea's, please do let me know.
Best regards.
Last edited by zacariaz (2012-08-27 17:19:35)Okay, so I've found sort of a solution to part of the problem, so what I have so far look like this:
wget -quiet -O - archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | fmt -w 25 -g 25
It works as long as there are no words longer than 25 character, which I should think is rare, even including package names and such.
However there's still the issue parsing the xml so I get only what I want:
<item><title>$content</title><link>
This may be solved using some sort of terminal rss parser, but I would rather prefer not to.
Then there's the issue with reloading.
My current conky is set to reload every second, but of course one can't just pull the feed every second and I'm not convinced that conky has any built in solution for that problem. Of course I can always start a cronjob and save it all to a file, but portability would be nice.
anyway, I'll return later. -
[SOLVED] Problem With conky and or xcompmgr
So I tried to search for this issue but i don't know quite how to explain through words on what is going on. basically i got corky installed. and so when i login my screen all around corky doesn't refresh. and i believe this to be because of xcompmgr. because thats when I installed it that is when my problem started. so here is a screenshot
Last edited by Sicariuxs (2012-11-14 21:13:45)no i don't have the problem when xcompmgr is running (lol didn't mean corky!! kept thinking about league of legends xD) but the problem is that if i don't have xcompmgr running that i don't have true trnasparancy on guake or any of my other applications. what i believe it to be is that maybe conky doesn't do so well with compositing. because this also has happened to me with compiz. but i know it has to be possible to combine the two! i've seen it done all over youtube. but i keep getting this problem. any suggestions? and thanks for the quick response

IWeb 08 and RSS feeds on godaddy
Hello friends - I am setting up a website to be hosted on godaddy. I had no problems uploading the site using easyiwebpublisher. However, I want to use the blog function. I set up the blob on iweb and I can read them on the site, but when I click the "subscribe to RSS" link on my page it says:
"The page you tried to access does not exist on this server. This page may not exist due to the following reasons:
You are the owner of this web site and you have not uploaded (or incorrectly uploaded) your web site. For information on uploading your web site using FTP client software or web design software, click here for FTP Upload Information.
The URL that you have entered in your browser is incorrect. Please re-enter the URL and try again.
The Link that you clicked on incorrectly points to this page. Please contact the owner of this web site to inform them of this situation."
Any help on how to get the RSS feed to work w/o mobileme?
I understand it may not work without MobileME but I wanted to know if anyone has a workaround.
One more bit of data:
When I publish to folder the pop-up has me enter the URL for my site because "iWeb uses the URL to provide an RSS feed for your blog."
Does that mean I put http://www.weirdfantasy.com/ or should I put the URL for my RSS feed page? http://www.weirdfantasy.com/WeirdFantasy/News/rss.xml
I put http://www.weirdfantasy.com/ and I get the error message.
Jawko -out...If I upload the index.html that isn't in the sitefolder, won't it just overwrite the one in the sitefolder?
No. You can't overwrite something inside a folder with something you put outside the folder. It is normal for there to be an index.html in both places in an iWeb site.
I just did that using the godaddy FTP uploader and now I can't get to my homepage. Says it can't be found.
I recommend that you never use the uploader provided by a host, as they often result in things not being uploaded correctly. Instead use a real ftp app.

Should it be like this???
Hi, When the double[], "loads", is changed in the second line, also the corresponding value in the ArrayList, "loads__", changes! Should it work like this? Seems very strange to me. loads__.add(loads); loads[1] = 345635;Regards, Pingen
