Conky doesn't evaluate string

Hi,
I use conky as a bar on the top of my desktop and I wanted to emulate the "workspace indicator" of awesome so I tried this :
Openbox config :
<desktops>
<number>4</number>
<firstdesk>1</firstdesk>
<names>
<name>${color1}home${color} web code misc</name>
<name>home ${color1}web${color} code misc</name>
<name>home web ${color1}code${color} misc</name>
<name>home web code ${color1}misc${color}</name>
</names>
<popupTime>0</popupTime>
</desktops>
Conky config :
${eval $desktop_name}
According to the conky manual it should parse the string and show a colored output but it doesn't work and I can't figure out why.
Any help ?

I set the update interval to half a second, and conky is started from the openbox autostart file. The $desktop_name variable works fine and prints the name but eval doesn't parse it as it should so it looks like this :
${color1}home${color} web code misc

Flex evaluate string for dynamic datagrid headerText

Hello: I m new to Flex and am creating headerText for a datagrid (dgTop250). How do I get the variable headerStr to evaluate correctly in the last line of the function? With the code below I get the entire string as the column header in the datagrid, not the evaluated expression that I need. Variable headerStr is evaluating correctly, I just need it to get evaluated in the headerText statement.. I know the eval function isn't available in AS3.
public function get250(event:ResultEvent):void {
(var i:int = 0; i <= dgTop250.columnCount; i++) {
 var colName:String=dgTop250.columns[i].dataField;
 var headerStr:String="top250.lastResult.IMS001HQ2.SGM.getItemAt(i)."+colName+".label";
 (dgTop250.columns[i] as DataGridColumn).headerText = headerStr;
As an example, this is what I'm getting as the header: top250.lastResult.IMS001HQ2.SGM.getItemAt(i).STOCK.label
This is what I need: Stock Number
"Stock Number" is the label for STOCK.
thanks

I would think you need to remove the quotes to get it evaluated properly
Change this ..
var headerStr:String="top250.lastResult.IMS001HQ2.SGM.getItemAt(i)."+colName+".label";
to
var headerStr:String=top250.lastResult.IMS001HQ2.SGM.getItemAt(i).[colName].label;
maybe ???

Evaluate String Expression

Hi all,
I am trying to evaluate a string expression against rows of data. If the data satisfys that condition/expression then its selected otherwirse its not.
To re-iterate how to evaluate a string expression like: "value < 1"
against data values like: 0, 1, 2 ...n
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here's the code I am using:
 * Evaluates the Expression Either return True or False
 * @return
public boolean evalExpression() {
 boolean retval = true;
 // Identify the conditional process step
 if (this.isConditional()) {
 // get the inputs
 for (int i = 0; i < myInputs.size(); i++) {
 ContainerDataElement containerDataElement = (ContainerDataElement) myInputs
 .elementAt(i);
 String data = containerDataElement.getValueAsString();
 // Get the conditions
 for (int j = 0; j < myProcessConditions.size(); j++) {
 ProcessCondition pc = (ProcessCondition) myProcessConditions
 .elementAt(j);
 Boolean condition = new Boolean(pc.getExpression());
 // Evaluate the expression against the data elements
 if (condition.booleanValue()) {
 retval = true;
 else {
 retval = false;
 return retval;
 }

ProcessCondion holds the Expression but I need to match the value the expression matches.
A bit like equals example I am trying out now:
public boolean evalExpression() {
 boolean retval = true;
 // Identify the conditional process step
 if (this.isConditional()) {
 // get the inputs
 for (int i = 0; i < myInputs.size(); i++) {
 ContainerDataElement containerDataElement = (ContainerDataElement) myInputs
 .elementAt(i);
 String data = containerDataElement.getValueAsString();
 com.aim.common.DebugLog.debug("dataELEMENTS--------"
 + data.toString());
 // Get the conditions
 for (int j = 0; j < myProcessConditions.size(); j++) {
 ProcessCondition pc = (ProcessCondition) myProcessConditions
 .elementAt(j);
 com.aim.common.DebugLog.debug("ProcessCondition--------"
 + pc.toString());
 Boolean condition = new Boolean(pc.getExpression());
 com.aim.common.DebugLog.debug("condition--------"
 + condition.toString());
 // Evaluate the expression against the data elements
 if (containerDataElement.equals(condition)) {
 com.aim.common.DebugLog.debug("conditionEVALUATED--------"
 + retval);
 retval = true;
 else {
 retval = false;
 return retval;
 }

Evaluate string while running

If I want to implement a code as following:
//String condition = input condtion represent as string (from xml. e.g. 1=1, true, false etc)
if (condition)
How do I evaluate the input string while running?

OR use a Map, where the key is the input String and the value is a Command object. You can avoid the brittle, brain-dead "if/then/else" code that way. If the inputs and commands change frequently, this would be a good way to go that satisfies the open/closed principle nicely.

Conky doesn't show script output

Running conky from the terminal doesn't result in any useful output.
Occasionally the mail and weather script won't show anything, but that is far less frequent.

This is unrelated and I emailed the author of conkyforecast about the issue.
/usr/bin/conkyforecast
change
$PYTHONPATH /usr/bin/python /usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyForecast.py "$@"
to
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyForecast.py "$@"
PYTHONPATH is used incorrectly in this case. It is used to reference python modules (which the openoffice pkg is now doing).

Conky doesn't display bash-script variables (array)

I've been playing around with Conky and a bash script of mine. Unfortunately Conky displays only static text and not the array-variables in my script.
In my script:
...some code here...
echo "Static text: ${Variable[1]}"
In my conkyrc:
...some code here...
${exec ~/Test/test.sh}
The result is: "Static text: ". When running the script from the command line everything is fine. I've also tried with exec, execi, execp, texeci to no avail. Any ideas?
Edit: I had to be more specific.

Try echo -n "Static text: ${Variable[1]}"

[Solved] Conky doesn't show network speed

Hello Archers!
I have my old conky config with net speed indication which worked in past but stopped working this installation. My user is in “network” group and I have
${font monospace:bold:size=10}NETWORK ${hr 2}
${font monospace:normal:size=10}Download: ${alignr}${downspeedf eth0} KB/s
Upload: ${alignr}${upspeedf eth0} KB/s
in my ~/.conkyrc file. It used to show speed in KB/s but now just zeros, all the time. What would be the reason for this malfunction?

Yeah, I know Arch maintainers don't accept criticism anymore. But mine wasn't even obvious and yet you pointed that out and called it “not the smartest thing to post here”. Totalitarian regime inside of a distro. Free speech is forbidden. Arch Linux, ladies and gentlemen!
Read the Etiquette. Your histrionics are as unfounded as your original slur. If you had even the slightest clue of what a totalitarian regime actually involved, you would be ashamed of yourself for that association.

ORA-01861: field doesn't match string format

I make this thing:
String s = new String("2005-12-12");
el.setDate(data.valueOf(s));
Where el is an odject with date field.
Thanks in advance.

So your date format is
DD-MON-YY
Try this:
String s = new String("12-DEC-05");
el.setDate(data.valueOf(s));
also this:
String s = new String("12-DEC-2005");
el.setDate(data.valueOf(s));

Conky - Display available pacman updates

This is a python script I found and modified to display package update info with conky.
The original was written by Majkhii and Sabooky which I found here via the wiki entry for conky:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37284
This one is much simpler than it's predecessor. It will simply display a list of package names and their sizes. I couldn't figure how to keep the rating system from the original which allowed for highlighting "important" packages. Anyway here it is. I'm pretty new to programming so if something doesn't seem to make sense, it's probably because it doesn't.
#!/usr/bin/env python2
~/.conky/notify.py
-Description: Python script for displaying archlinux updates.
-Usage: create shell script with the contents:
#!/bin/bash
# ~/pacsync.sh
# This syncs pacman and creates a file to store
# info for each package. This is so the python
# portion doesn't constantly use your network
# connection every 20 seconds to get package info
# when it refreshes itself. Better to have the
# shell script update once every several minutes
# and have python use that info instead. Don't
# forget to make executeable with chmod +x

for x in $list
do
echo $x >> $destfile
echo `pacman -Si $x | egrep -w 'Version|Download'` >> $destfile
done
-Create the following crontab with 'crontab -e'
to have pacsync.sh run every 30 minutes:
*/30 * * * * /path/to/shellscript
-Conky: Add the line '${texeci 20 python path/to/this/file.py}'
where 20 is the update interval in seconds
-Also, if part of the output is not showing in conky
increase text_buffer_size value in conky config
I use 'text_buffer_size 1024'

sudo pacman -Sy
if [ -f $destfile ]
then
rm $destfile
fi
list=`pacman -Qu | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
for x in $list
do
echo $x >> $destfile
echo `pacman -Si $x | egrep -w 'Version|Download'` >> $destfile
done
Make it executable:
chmod +x /path/to/shellscript
Then create the following crontab with 'crontab -e':
*/30 * * * * /path/to/shellscript
This will cause pacman to check for updates every 30 minutes.
Finally, place this line in your conky config:
${texeci 20 python path/to/notify.py}
Where 20 is the update interval in seconds.
Note: If conky doesn't display all of the output correctly, increase the text_buffer_size in your conky config. I use:
text_buffer_size 1024
Make sure to check out the basic settings like output width, format, or one line summary. All credit goes to Majkhii and Sabooky as they did all the heavy lifting and I merely butchered their work to suit my system.
That's it. I've been running this for 3 days with no issues so far. Questions/comments/concerns welcome. I'll try to work on this if need be, but I may have conflicts with school as I'm currently a student.
*EDIT* Fixed screenshots

1. No need for 'cut', we already have a pacman switch for that:
$ pacman -Qu | cut -d ' ' -f 1
wine
wine_gecko
$ pacman -Quq
wine
wine_gecko
2. You can use 'expac' to get version, size etc.
3. Doing 'pacman -Sy' is not necessarily a good idea. http://www.andreascarpino.it/blog/posts … s-part-ii/

Possible with Conky?

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to display some irssi-information in your Conky?
I just figured it might be cool to have Conky display the last message said in irssi or a notification when you get highlighted. It just seems like Conky lacks such a feature by default and getting information out of irssi is kind of out of my league, even though it might be possible to do with some command (seems like you can do anything with a fitting command.)
It just seems amazing that Conky *gasp* lacks a feature!
On another note, maybe I'm not creative enough, but it seems like there is no easy way to implement this either:
I want to make my MPC: "$mpc_artist - $mpc_title [$mpc_elapsed / $mpc_duration]"-string something like just MPC: "not playing" when it's stopped. Since when stopped, it just shows " - [0:00 / 0:00]" it would be neater if it would just clean itself up.
Though, there doesn't seem to be a way to implement this without an if-condition, and the if_empty condition needs to have some interesting logic if it's doable at all (and I'd rather stay with Conky variables if possible, it would be somewhat easy to configure with a single script or exec.) How much more resource-demanding is it to use external commands anyway? The Conky documentation mentions that it's more resource intensive but that seems like a subjective term.

This is an excerpt from my .conkyrc:
${execi 5 nice -n19 /home/filip/scripts/mpd.sh}${if_existing /tmp/mpd.tmp}${font glispbold}MPD: ${color0}$font${execi 2 cat /tmp/mpd.tmp}$color :: $endif
What it does is:
1. Run mpd.sh script (see below) which basically saves the current mpd status to /tmp/mpd.tmp file (if music is playing)
2. if_existing condition checks if the file /tmp/mpd.tmp exists (it only exists when music is playing or paused) -- if the file exists then mpd info is displayed, if it doesn't exist then the whole mpd section in conky doesn't appear at all
Here is the mpd.sh script that I use -- you'll notice that it also makes sure that the Arist/Title info is no longer than a certain number of characters (80), because my conky is a single horizontal line at the top of the screen:
#!/bin/bash
is_playing_music=$(mpc | grep -e ^\\[p[al][ua][sy][ei].*\\])
echo "$is_playing_music" | grep -qe ^\\[paused\\] && echo "paused" > /tmp/mpd.tmp && exit
if [ ! -n "$is_playing_music" ]; then
[ -f /tmp/mpd.tmp ] && rm -r /tmp/mpd.tmp && exit
else
disp=`mpc --format "%artist% ## %title%" | head -1`
if [ ${#disp} -gt 80 ]; then
echo "${disp:0:77}..." > /tmp/mpd.tmp
else
echo "${disp}" > /tmp/mpd.tmp
fi
fi

Concatenation two strings or variables in EL


Hi,


I'd like to display for all rows strings from resouce bundle:


#{row.Comm == null ? res['test.nocomm'] : res['test.hascomm']} - it works.


But I need concat string from resource bundle with another variable like bellow:


#{row.Comm == null ? res['test.nocomm'] sessionScope.UserName : res['test.hascomm'] 'Any String'}


I get an exception: javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException


How can I concat two strings or variables in EL


Kuba


Hi,
this doesn't work because EL doesn't concatinate strings bu evaluate them. The work around is to reference a managed bean that then returns the string you like
#{row.Comm == null ? managed_bean.username_string : managed_bean.any_string'}

[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

The only differences that I have (on a debian box), are:
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
You could experiment with those...
