[Bug 76691] New: Russian characters input in nano-1.3.5 is broken
et cetera ;) 

Here is my perl-5.8.6 site directory with modules from CPAN
http://www.hot.ee/natella/gmail_perl.txt

[Nuteater]

I recently hacked together a little piece of python that fetches the current Infocon status from the Internet Storm Center to be displayed (color coded, I might add! ) in torsmo.

To my knowledge, torsmo doesn't yet support if-constructs, so my script does the following: Reads the Infocon status from ISC, and outputs it to a file in the user's home directory. If the status is 'green', the script modifies ~/.infocon_green to contain 'green', and ~/.infocon_yellow and others to be empty. Now if torsmo just cats all these files in their respective colors, we get a green 'green' on the screen. If the status is 'red' we get a red 'red'... you get the idea.

Anyway, here's the script 'update_infocon.py'. Put it in your crontab for regular updating.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
import os,sys,urllib2
dir = os.environ['HOME'] + os.sep
try:
    greenfile = file(dir + ".infocon_green", 'w')
    yellowfile = file(dir + ".infocon_yellow", 'w')
    orangefile = file(dir + ".infocon_orange", 'w')
    redfile = file(dir + ".infocon_red", 'w')
except:
    print "Error opening files!"
    sys.exit(1)
filedict = {"green" : greenfile, "yellow" : yellowfile, "orange" : orangefile, "red" : redfile}
status = urllib2.urlopen('http://isc.sans.org/infocon.txt').read(6)
status = status.strip() #Get rid of possible newlines etc.
statusfile = filedict[status]
try:
    statusfile.write(status)
except:
    print "Error writing file!"
for file in [greenfile, yellowfile, orangefile, redfile]:
    file.close()

Here's the .torsmorc bit to print the output:

Code: Select all

Infocon: ${color green}${execi 20 cat ~/.infocon_green}${color yellow}${execi 20 cat ~/.infocon_yellow}${color
 orange}${execi 20 cat ~/.infocon_orange}${color red}${execi 20 cat ~/.infocon_red}

I probably should point out the obvious: There is absolutely no warranty. This is my first ever python script to do anything remotely intelligent. It might not work right. It might ignite your hard drive or cause instant death. It is an ugly hack by an unexperienced programmer. If you use it you do so at your own risk. As far as licensing goes, this little python snippet is public domain for all that I care.

That said, I hope someone finds this useful!

how do i enable xft fonts? is it a use flag by any chance? am very puzzled.

when i run torsmo with "use_xft yes", i get the message: "XFT not enabled"

If you are getting the above error you need to enable "pop" in you gmail account.
Settings --> Forwarding and Pop. That will solve that problem... (only took me 2 hours to figure out...)

Here is a hacked up python script to display the latest packages added to portage:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

import urllib

data = urllib.urlopen('http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/x86/stable/gentoo_simple.rss').read()
datalist = data.splitlines()

final = []
for x in datalist:
    #REMOVE WHITESPACES IN THE BEGINNING OF EACH LINE
    line = x.strip()
    if line.startswith('<title>'):
        final.append(line[7:-8])

for x  in final[1:]:
        print x

Change the url to whatever feed you want. You can find all the feeds from here:

http://packages.gentoo.org/feeds/

Then add it to your .torsmorc file like this:

Code: Select all

${color orange}New Gentoo Packages:
${color white}${execi 1800 /path/to/gentoo_packages.py}

I'm looking at replacing gkrellm with torsmo but there is one function I've yet to figure out.

How can you get torsmo to report on the transfer rate of your hardrives, both as a composite and individually?

[hpestilence]

could anybody please tell me how to center my torsmo.. i want it to appear bottom center, but right now its bottom left..

You have to mess with the gap_x

For me its gap_x 510 for around the center on 1280x1024

My guess is: you only put the title and time on one line. Try putting the other xmms.pl uses on one line as well
example:

${color grey}Status : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl
Status}

should be:

${color grey}Status : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Status}

For the people having trouble getting the Gmail perl modules, try this.

o Become root
o Do 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'
o Answer all the configuration questions it asks you. I should be able to just use the defaults for most of the questions
o One it is configured, at the cpan> prompt type:
o install Mail::Webmail::Gmail
o Answer yes when it asks to install the dependencies
o install GMail::Checker
o Answer yes when it asks to install the dependencies

After that you should have everything necessary to run chrishchun's gmail script. After I installed the gmail stuff and changed the username/password in the script, it ran without any trouble.

Hey, recent problem, I don't know if it is me... I'm using .18, and I noticed that my i2c sensors aren't updating.

When torsmo is first launched, they get the correct values (i2c temp 1), but then they stay that way, stuck.
Everything else updates normally.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I am glad my tweather.sh script can be of use for some people. I myself still use it.
There are some bugs when they separate AM and PM weather, but that dosn't happen too often, so I'll still leave it alone.

Here comes 'yet another xmms/bmp info script'. It will show some minimalistic info like this

Here is tmusic.sh.

#!/bin/bash

#This script is free to modify and distribute.
#If you make some cool modification to it, let me know at straivir@ucsd.edu
#Use at your own risk.

Yeah I had sensor reading problems too this is what I did.

I found where my sensors were then which one is which (from cpu and motherboard) and added the following:

Code: Select all

${exec expr `cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0290/temp1_input` / 1000}

I had to do it like that because my sensors read like 39000 for cpu so I divided by 1000.

Oh yeah, your sensors should be located in "/sys/bus/i2c/devices" too

[Tyir]

Hey, recent problem, I don't know if it is me... I'm using .18, and I noticed that my i2c sensors aren't updating.

When torsmo is first launched, they get the correct values (i2c temp 1), but then they stay that way, stuck.
Everything else updates normally.

Yeah I had sensor reading problems too this is what I did.

I found where my sensors were then which one is which (from cpu and motherboard) and added the following:

Code: Select all

${exec expr `cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0290/temp1_input` / 1000}

I had to do it like that because my sensors read like 39000 for cpu so I divided by 1000.

Oh yeah, your sensors should be located in "/sys/bus/i2c/devices" too

Yea, that works, but I didn't want to revert to exec.
Anyway, I found out that it is becase of i2c changes in linux > 2.6.10
There is a patch:

Another way to get xmms info

This method is pretty simple. first you need xmmsctrl 1.8 or higher

Code: Select all

# emerge xmmsctrl

then, its pretty easy from reading the xmmsctrl help page (run "xmmsctrl help") to find out what commands you need to put into .torsmorc.

<snip>
print <string> : general formatted print, similar to printf. The codes are:
%n : new line,
%t : tab,
%F : current filename,
%T : current title,
%P : current position,
%s : playback time in sec,
%m : playback time in min:sec,
%S : song length in sec,
%M : song length in min:sec,
%v : master volume,
%l : playlist length,
%p : playback time in percent,
<snip>

then just do somthing like this:

Code: Select all

${color green}XMMS
${color}$stippled_hr
${color #1E90FF}title: ${color}${execi 10 /usr/bin/xmmsctrl title|cut -c -22}
${color #1E90FF}time: ${color}${execi 5 /usr/bin/xmmsctrl print %m} of ${execi 5 /usr/bin/xmmsctrl print %M}
${color #1E90FF}playlist: ${color}playing ${execi 10 /usr/bin/xmmsctrl print %P} of ${execi 10 /usr/bin/xmmsctrl print %l}

the cut is just to shorten the output so it won't widen the window. you could do all of them 1 second update times but then it uses a lot of cpu power. the end result looks somthing like this. the only bad thing about this method is that theres no way to just get the author or just the title. maybe in the next release of xmmsctrl.

I've been trying to get torsmo to load multiple instances at once in gnome.. I see that there's the option to double buffer and have them as windows, but then I get 4 copies of Torsmo showing up in my task bar on each of my desktops. Is there a way to hide those or am I going to have to single buffer and display them on the root? (the ficker drives me nuts).

http://www.calvin.edu/~awb3/new.jpg is an example of what I"m talkin about.
