 |
|
Hi,
What was requested below is a great feature. As a variation, would it be possible to monitor multiple mboxs i.e display number of new mails in a mbox.
thanx,
paul

Any quick way to display the last 5 emails I've received (just From and Subject lines - not the whole email)? My email is stored in mbox format.
Thanks. |

I guess it behooves me to state my solution:
| Code: | Last 3 emails:
${exec frm --field=FROM | tail -n 3}
|
If the frm command doesn't work, emerge mailutils
You can specify the mailspool with the frm command. So with multiple mailboxes, you execute an frm for each.

it's not hard-masked, just arch-masked, so all you need to do is put
| Code: | | app-admin/conky ~<arch> |
e.g. ~x86, in /etc/portage/package.keywords. |

| I already have it I'm just curious what the hold up is on moving it to stable at least on x86. seems like a pretty basic app shouldn't be to hard to test. and I don't see that it's giving me any probs. |

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_conky#Adding_XMMS_Information
I am trying to add XMMS support, and it says I need the perl module XMMS::InfoPipe
where do i get the module from? I already emerged the stuff the author said to emerge, but i get:
| Code: |
Can't locate XMMS/InfoPipe.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/hedpe/.xmms.pl line 5.

EDIT : Oops it seems you already emerged it.
Is your perl up to date ? |

The format of the named pipe is a simple sequence of key: values, as in: | Code: | nighthowl:~$ cat /tmp/xmms-info
XMMS protocol version: 2467
InfoPipe Plugin version: 1.3
Status: Playing
Tunes in playlist: 252
Currently playing: 116
uSecPosition: 109201
Position: 1:49
uSecTime: 238288
Time: 3:58
Current bitrate: 128000
Samping Frequency: 44100
Channels: 2
Title: The Laziest Men on Mars - Invasion of the Gabber Robots
File: /usr/local/lib/music/mp3s/sites/mp3.com/techno/Invasion_of_the_Gabber.mp3 |
It would not so difficult to toss the script on the wiki and start from scratch. OK I may have to write one now. |

ok this python script, xmms.py, will work with either xmms-infopipe or bmp-infopipe: | Code: | #!/usr/bin/env python
"""read the named pipe /tmp/xmms-info and return the value of interest
author: drphibes
usage: xmms.py <key>
examples: xmms.py Title
xmms.py 'Sampling Frequency' (use quotes for multi-word keys)"""
import sys
import re
_pattern=re.compile(r'^(?P<key>.+): (?P<value>.+)\n')
try:
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
raise SyntaxError
xmms_key=sys.argv[1]
f=open('/tmp/xmms-info','r')
for line in f.readlines():
m=_pattern.search(line)
if m.group('key') == xmms_key:
print m.group('value')
break
f.close()
except IOError:
pass
except SyntaxError:
pass |
make sure to chmod 755 xmms.py and then use it in .conkyrc, for example, as follows: | Code: | ${execi 3 ~/bin/xmms.py Title}
${execi 3 ~/bin/xmms.py Status} ${execi 3 ~/bin/xmms.py Position} ${execi 3 ~/bin/xmms.py Time} |

| sometimes I have a problem with conky where I have a maximized window (example: firefox) and when I minimize it. conky isn't showing up in the root window. after a few second's conky shows up. it seems like it might be related to a large number of network connection's that I'm getting from limewire. I'm using a very slightly modified version of the sample .conkyrc that came with the ebuild. there a solution to this or is it a just a bug and I have to wait. |

what version of conky? what desktop? conky can take a few seconds to redisplay when the entire client area has to redraw.

you mean the tcp port monitors? the port monitors auto-clear after two refresh cycles if the tcp connection state changes from ESTABLISHED to anything else. please look at netstat -tcp in a separate window for comparison. |

| conky's on fluxbox. version 1.3.4-r2. I checked those net things, I cant figure it out... I had stopped limewire but they hadn't, anyway I fixed that. still it would seem like the image of conky shouldnt take so long to show up. when it has the much activity.... |

hey ppl,
is there a way to have no border around the graphs?
border_width is 0 doesn't have effect on it. i guess that is for other borders,
or am i missing something somewhere?
thanks,

you can put a ${color foo} before the graph matching the background colour |

Yes, thanks, i know. i used that for a while, but now i chose a wallpaper image with more changing colors unfortunately. 
i think it would be a nice feature, to be able to turn off those borders.

i was just editing my conkyrc on my laptop and some 'annoyance' came up again...
is it perhaps an idea to have some default colors to use? Like $color0...9?
| Code: | color0 = #ff00ff
...
color9 = #00ffff
|
cheers,

When I switch double buffer on - I cannot see root-tail. When I switch it off - Conky flickers.
Is there any possibility to make double-buffered Conky work properly with root-tail?
