[SOLVED]Conky cutting words off

I've been working to set up conky on my Arch + Openbox installation, and I've run into a strange issue - conky is getting cut off at the end. See this picture, at far top-right - the seconds are cut off.
I've tried adding various options, such as
text_buffer_size 512
but nothing I can find seems to fix it.
My .conkyrc
Anyone know how/if I can fix this?

Have you tried explicitly setting a width this way? You don't state what screen res you currently use - so adjust as necessary
# width height
minimum_size 1584 120
# width
maximum_width 1584
It can help to leave a 1px border on your conky frame while building it to help debug this sort of thing as you can see where the otherwise transparent frame actually ends

[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
Anyway, here's my .conkyrc, not that it's needed of course.

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.

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.

IDVD cuts sides off imported PAL DV file when burnt to DVD

Hi,
I have been struggling to solve a problem with burning a DVD over the last few days. I have created a slideshow in a programme called Photo to Movie and have then exported the movie as a .MOV file at 720 x 576 resolution (PAL DV) into iDVD. All goes well, and I then add an introduction and burn it to DVD. When it has finished, I view the DVD in my IMac and it appears fine. But when I go to use it in a DVD player (I have tried several, with several different televisions) it cuts about a centimeter off the sides and top (so it doesn't show the whole photo). But it only cuts this off the imported movie, not off the introduction that I created in iDVD. Obviously I have tried changing the tv setting to 4:3, smart, widescreen, etc. It still has the image appearing cut off.
My settings in iDVD are video mode set to PAL, Aspect Ratio set to Widescreen (I have also tried setting it to 4:3 and it does the same thing after the DVD is burnt and shown on a television), Best Quality.
So I really don't have a clue what to do now. I mean, if the file has exported ok as a Quicktime MOV and is the correct size for PAL DV (720 x 576) when inserted into iDVD then there should be no problems, I would have thought. Also, it appears ok on a computer.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out here (and I don't have a lot left to pull out). Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, well I've researched some more and it appears that this problem has been addressed here:

Bt manhole with old wiring keeps cutting us off

Ok I've had no end of trouble a few times a year for the last two years. Every time a BT open reach engineer comes out and starts repairing something In the manhole either I or one of the neighbours gets disconnected. Today for example I was sitting there looking on the Internet, then suddenly disconnected. Then I heard a beeping sound in the street and low and behold there was a bt engineer in the street. I quickly ran out and told him he had cut me off, he didn't even realise he did he told me! I explained to him is keeps happening and more than once, he told me it was due to old copper wiring and to be honest the whole man whole box needs new wires. He also told me I need to contact BT on this matter because this is a constant problem. And to be totally honest it should never effect the service we all pay as consumers. I would like to know who I need to contact to get this problem finally solved, because it's not fare on anyone. If I was not in today I wouldn't of known and would been disconnected unknowingly. It is in the ME72QZ road. Because I will be making complaints I been a good customers for over 20 years!
Many thanks
Paul

HELLLLPPP!! BT Cut me off early, now won't help me...

BT Really are rubbish.
Long story but here goes.
- I have been a BT Customer under my Nan's name since 2002 as I lived with her, no issues
- My Nan died in January 2013, as an old person who was happy as long as ther service worked, she never looked for a better deal.
- I got a better deal with talk talk so performed a swap.
- BT sent me a letter begging me to stay.
- I decided to stay getting TV, BT infinity and BT vision for £50.00 a month.
- BT told me I need to pay £120.00 for a new aerial.
- I call BT two weeks later to inform them I am moving on 18th May 2013 and to re-connect all existing services on 21st May 2013
-18 April 2013 my internet line is dead, with further investigation I find too my telephone line and BT Vision services have stopped.
- Realise BT have cut me off a month early and set my moving out date as 18 April 2013 instead of 18 May 2013
- Call BT who apologise and say they will get me put back on ASAP and expedite the order
- BT then say I will have a random number and if I want BT Vision and BT infinity back I need to take half a day off work to wait for the engineer, I did this 2 weeks ago when installation first took place.
- BT then say I can have BT Normal Broadband free for 6 months and an alternative number but no TV. Reluctantly I agree as I need my internet connection
- Telephone and broadband will both go live on 26th April 2013
- Telephone line with a random number finally goes live again on 26th April 2013
- Call BT ask where the broadband is, they say there was an error and it would be up on the 27th April and offered apologies
- Broadband isn’t up on 27th April was told it would be expedited again and live o 28th April
- 28th April comes and goes, Nothing.
- Call BT Again told that Broadband would be expedited and would be re-connected within 48 hours.
- 20 minutes later I get an invoice saying I am being charged £60.00 for a new modem and the Broadband will go live on 7th May 2013
- I call BT up saying I don’t need a new router, I have all the gear already to them disconnecting me previously.
- BT Advise me they will fast track my order and will be live on 1st or 2nd May.
- Broadband wasn’t live on 1st May so called to ask if it will be live today. Advised No, will go live on 7th May 2013.
- So I’ve spent £60.00 on a router I don’t need, I wont be paying for it
- Customer service is shocking, you seem to get some caring understanding scottish woman then you get put through to some ignorant agent over seas who doesn't empathise with you what so ever. AVOID BT like the plague if you can.
- £120.00 on a TV Aerial I can’t use and now need to pay more to move it to new Property, BT Can pay this.
- Been without a service now since 18th April and paying for a telephone line.
- Wasn’t offered any other TV option
- Spent over £70.00 on mobile calls to 0800 number to BT as I’ve had no telephone
Taking this lot to trading standards and small claims court.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Can't even get their package! This is what happened to us:
April 11: We placed an order for a broadband package with you. We had an email confirmation saying we would be connected on April 18.
April 12: We had an email out of the blue informing us that our order had been cancelled. There was no explanation. A subsequent phone call by us revealed the order was being redone.
April 17: We had an email saying our broadband would be connected on April 24.
April 16: A BT hub arrived.
April 18: Four texts to my mobile phone informing me we would be going live on April 19! Several phone calls later we’d sorted that out.
April 20: An email arrived ‘happy’ to inform us our broadband would be going live on April 29. No apology. No explanation.
April 26: A phone call informing us that our MAC code had expired and we’d need to get a new one. I pointed out this would take five days which would surpass the April 29 deadline. We managed to get a new MAC code to you on April 27 after a lot of pressure from us on our current provider.
April 29: An email ‘happy’ to inform us that our broadband would be connected on May 3. No apology. No explanation. (I have not listed the continual and sometimes stressful phones calls we have engaged in trying to sort this mess out, but we persevered when I’m sure many people would have kicked you in to touch by now).
May 1: An email ‘happy’ to inform us that our broadband would be going live on May 9. No apology. No explanation.
May 2: An email informing us our broadband would be going live on May 10 etc etc etc. We were passed from pillar to post in phone calls. Eventually a lady told us because of our circumstances she would be personally handling our account and she would get back to us in an hour to keep us informed. We heard nothing for the rest of the day.
May 3: I received a text informing us you needed a MAC code! At this point we were getting to last straw country. It wasn’t long before we reached that.
What followed next was simply and absolutely appalling. For the third day in the row we were involved in long phone conversations with various people. My wife was trying to ascertain what was going on and why we needed a MAC code just seven days after we’d provided you with one. She got upset and then unfortunately but understandably got angry with the person on the other end of the line when they failed to explain properly why a new code was needed and that she was repeatedly told that were all set to go live on the 10th. A trainer cut in at that point, told my wife to calm down – no apologies for this awful situation – and told her that we would be going live in May 13 (a completely new date!). When she said we would not because we would actually be away then, he told her rather imperiously that we would be going live on May 13. At that point we called an end to what had become a farcical affair.
We got put through to someone to cancel our order. My wife was left hanging on the phone for over 30 minutes – no coming back from time to time to make sure she was okay and affirming that matters were in hand – and was eventually told that there had been a problem because there seemed to be two orders, but that the cancellation had now been processed.

How can I cut iCloud off and not use it anymore?

I want to completely cut iCloud off. How can I do this. I only use the iPhone now and it gets me confused for iTunes. I want to go back to iTunes as it used to be and not in some clould.

Then you can't remove it, but you can stop using it. Sign out (in System Preferences>iCloud) but before you do make a backup of your contacts and calendars .......
I am serious about the backup, ignore at your own risk.

BT billing cut me off 16 days after issuance of th...

Hi,
I've been a BT customer for twenty odd years. In those twenty years I've experienced plenty of problems:- poor service, disgusting technical assistance, high bills, customer service people who don't understand me as they can't speak English well, long irritating automated telephone systems costing me each minute I wait, and just plain arrogance and incompetence. I've stayed because most of the time the service works ok, I'm a busy person and like an easy life. I'm a pretty good customer too, and BT have made plenty from me.
I dislike direct debits, so I pay quarterly via the internet. I pay a premium for this even though the admin for BT is negligible if it exists at all. I have noticed that they've decided I have a ten day payment window. I ignore this and pay all of my bills on the same day each month, in the month they come in.
Last month, I received (by email) my quarterly bill. It came in on the 3rd, and I pay bills on the 25th. On the 19th I was getting ready to fly somewhere and needed to transfer money by online banking. My service had been CUT OFF! no warning. I found out by my browser going to this lovely designed BT page saying your service has been cut off, click here to pay your bill now. I went ballistic and phoned--at a time when I didn't have a lot of time! It took two phone calls from my mobile phone (the first cut me off as I didn't have my customer number to hand) and over 10 minutes to get to a human being with English as a second language--par for the course! and by the way BT and the other companies that do this, not ideal for telephone service by the way!, I doubt we're getting any financial benefit as customers in our bills from the pittance they pay in these other countries for these call centres. At first this person insisted I have to pay which I flat out refused. 16 days! I'll bet BT don't pay their vendors that fast. I persevered, and was angry but not rude, after threatening to cancel my account, this person reinstated my service.
I complained in writing and requested that a solution to this problem might be to increase my billing period to 30 days, so their cutting off service which is probably automated wouldn't kick in. I received a polite reply, refusing. So BT, I'm leaving.
I have to wait for a while, until 1 May, as I had just upgrated to their Infinity service and I'm locked in until 1 May 2013. I could go now, but I won't pay their extortionate fee for leaving early. Once upon a time I might have forgotten all about it, but not this time. The date is in my diary, and so will be my MAC code. I'm already gone. Long overdue. Any suggestions out there for a great competitor? I've started my search.
It may seem like a small thing, I can and probably will just adjust my billing cycle to ensure I pay it ON DEMAND! until the 1st of May next year so I don't have it happen again. But I resent being bullied like this, and I resent being treated like this. It is the straw that broke this camel's back. When companies treat their customers like their B**CHES, then the b's bite back and go.
It would be good if a customer retention service read these remarks and took note, but I know they don't care. Neither do I anymore, and I've got plenty of time to find a better replacement!

Hi JS_Regiate,
I am really sorry that your service was cut off. I understand completely the points you are making, taking into consideration your long term custom with us, coupled with regular payments, I appreciate that this must have been annoying. Especially when throwing your travel complications into the mix.
If you would give us another chance I'll be happy to have a look over your account and see what happened. 16 days does sounds a bit out but I'll need to have a closer look.

Png publishing almost 3x the size and cutting most off?

Okay flash document is.. 1920 px by 1080 px, 1080p resolution for animation, standard stuff.
When I go to export the stage as a PNG files, doesn't matter if I specify the resolution as 1920 by 1080 or click match movie, the exported png file is HUGE, the size to be exact is 8000 by 4500, why is this? I can't find a way to fix that.
Secondly, it's not exporting the full stage, it seems to be cutting off most of the right side, see the image below.
http://govillainous.com/cutoff.jpg
Any help will be appreciated, need to get this resolved asap..
It's only with PNG publish I get this.

The image is, well brush tool drawn onto the stage, it's not an actual image, its just a sketch I drew onto the stage with the brushtool.
the stage size is in fact bigger than the devil character, so it shouldn't be cutting it off like that..
http://govillainous.com/stage.jpg
this is a screencapture of the stage, with the devil character drawn on it.. thats the size of the stage, he fits inside the stage perfectly.
its 1920 by 1080
It's just for some odd reason publishing as a png elarges everything to 8000 x 4500, even when I say match the movie, or make the size 1920 x 1080 in the publish settings, the PNG image always comes out 8000 x 4500 with half of the drawing cut off..
http://govillainous.com/cutoff.jpg
So just to reiterate, the stage is bigger than the devil character I drew on it, so that's not a problem, as I see it fine when I export as a JPG / SWF / AVI, for some reason PNG is messing up.

My phone will not connect to WIFI all the time, but if I cut it off and go thru Verizon network the it's fine. Everyone else in my house does not have this problem even tho they have same phone as me. I have restarted, reset, rebooted and done everything

My 4S will get on internet but will not connect to any site including the App store or I tunes. If I cut Wifi off and go thru Verizon network then it is just fine. It is very slow loading tho. Everyone else in my house connects just fine.

Jglee,
I can understand how connecting to Wi-Fi is very important to maintain better control of your GB. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have already tried to get this issue corrected. Does your 4s have the most current software? You can check this in setttings: Settings>General>Software Update. Keep us posted. We are here to help.

No "never cut words" command in the contextual menu

When you control-click on a word, the contextual menu does not always contain the "never cut words" command (in french: "Ne jamais couper les mots"). Why ?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
In English it's "Never Hyphenate" & the words I don't see it on are words that can't be hyphenated, such as very short words. My understanding is that hyphenation doesn't use a dictionary or list of words but uses an algorithm or formula to hyphenate. I found that the word "word" doesn't give the option of hyphenation but "words" does. But neither word can be hyphenated.

ITunes 64 bit cutting text off labels, for example it says "sync only ticked songs and vi..."

Can anyone help me with this query?
I have 64x bit iTunes on my dell studio xps laptop. The problem is that most of the text is being cut off. This is not a new problem, its been like this for years. Its just that now i've realised i'm missing some valuble info. I'll provide some examples of what is happening:
"Sync with this iPhone over..."
"Sync only ticked songs and vi..."
"Manually manage music and..."
I'm guessing its one of those fiddly resolution problems? The strange thing is, its not like i have run out off room on the screen? So i don't understand why its cutting text off? There is LOADS of space left? Can anyone help with this?
Thank you in advance,

Have you selected a larger than standard font size in display preferences?

Airport cutting itself off

I started having this problem on my six month old MacBook recently and it's driving me crazy. For no discernible reason, AirPort will just cut itself off. And if I try to bring up Network Preferences to turn it back on, nothing happens.
It won't come on again until I restart the computer.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I am having the same problem. Started about 2 weeks ago, airport would turn off and would not turn back on again. Some days it will happen once, other days 2/3 times then other days work perfect. A restart use to fix it every time, but now, sometimes it will only last a few mins then go off again.
Any ideas ?
Thanks Steve

BT Verve keeps cutting me off

I have a BT Verve 450 twin, had it about 2 years now. Lateley it keeps cutting me off half way through a call and when I lift handset it beeps twice. I'm not with BT anymore, a while back I changed to AOL for my line rental . Could that be why.

You need to contact AOL, as they are now your service provider. BT have nothing to do with your line any more.
Openreach maintain your line, but will only deal with service providers.
