torsmo Tips & Tricks

[reksav]

this is going to be an easy fix question for you guys... im VERY new to linux (a few days) and found torsmo pretty interesting so ive been playing with it... a simple feature ive been trying to put together takes the fs_free function and sums it with 2 or 3 other fs_free function results... basically giving a total of all the free space i have on the drives torsmo checks... if someone could help me out on this thatd be great... thanks

[thoughts]

Is there a way to make torsmo print its output on top of a Gnome panel (or to "embed" torsmo into a Gnome panel)? I use the System Monitor that's included with Gnome, and the only thing I really want that it doesn't show is network tx/rx values. Torsmo does this nicely.

Thanks,

I'm very new to linux too, and am just starting to learn to hack my way around a bit so I thought this would be a nice chance for me to learn a bit more bash and a little perl. There's possibly a really easy way to do this, but anyway, here's my quite nasty solution. Apologies for badness of code etc etc.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
index=0
for arg in "$@"
do
	if [ "$index" != 0 ]
	then
		if [ "$1" = -f ]
		then
			export fs${index}=`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $4}'`
		fi
		if [ "$1" = -u ]
		then
			export fs${index}=`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $3}'`
		fi
		export fs${index}t=`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $2}'`
	fi
	let "index+=1"
done
export index
perl -e '
	$fs=0;
	for (my $i=1; $i<$ENV{index}; $i++)
	{	
		$fs+=$ENV{fs.$i};
		$fstotal+=$ENV{fs.$i.t};
	}
	$fs=$fs/1024/1024;
	$fstotal=$fstotal/1024/1024;
	printf ("%.2fG/%.2fG\n",$fs, $fstotal);
'

The usage is:

Code: Select all

./filename.sh (-f | -u) (filesystems)

-f gives free space, -u gives used space
So in the torsmorc I'm using

Code: Select all

${execi 1.0 /path/to/fs.sh -f hda3 hdb1}

And now I feel a (slightly) better coder and an equally slightly better person. Hope that does the trick

Ok I love this setup and am using torsmo for the first time. It is great however, I have it set to refresh every 3 seconds. When it does it blinks. Is there anyway to fix this? I am runing A Pentium 4 3.06 w/ 1Gb mem. Kernel-2.6.10-ck5 with reiser4 support. DE is Gnome 2.8.3 with openbox.

[reksav]

thanks for that orphan... it works but gives errors in the terminal,

Code: Select all

/home/reksav/applications/torsmo-0.18/sumfs.sh: line 10: export: `257796': not a valid identifier
/home/reksav/applications/torsmo-0.18/sumfs.sh: line 10: export: `82658': not a valid identifier

/home/reksav/applications/torsmo-0.18/sumfs.sh: line 16: export: `61440560': not a valid identifier

... and max try enabling the double buffer option, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

[orphansandoligarchs]

Hum, not really sure about what's going on there. Maybe try this:

Code: Select all

Line 9 - export fs${index}="`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $4}'`"
Line 13 - export "fs${index}="`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $3}'`"
Line 15 - export "fs${index}t="`df -k | grep $arg |awk '{print $2}'`"

Just replace those in, all it's done is stuck a quote around the export command. If it's still not working I'll dig a bit more, cause everything seems about ok here. I knew it wouldn't work somewhere!

[reksav]

that did it, works perfectly thanks a ton

[ShyGuy91284]

Is there any way to get torsmo to recieve notification of something happening? It checking things seems to be very tedious, and I'd like for Evolution to just be able to tell it I have new mail (As I see it now, I can maybe modify a file when I have new mail, and have torismo watching it), and for some other things to be slightly cleaner in how they run.

Hey, I wrote a little script! Which might be useful for some guys that believe in bleeding edge, and don't want to check for updates on sites and stuff! Here is a little screenshot of my Torsmo atm, with the stuff I am about to show you surrounded with red! I am not going to explain every single bit, but only the bit under Wanted updates.

First of all you have to create an entry in your crontab which checks for all Upgradeonly packages that are available in portage, and put's that list into a file. Make sure you update your portage regularly. Anyway here just an example of the entry

crontab entry

Code: Select all

crontab -e

0 6 * * * emerge -pU world > /tmp/emergeUpgradeList

that's it for cron we are all set there, now we need a little script which can be executed by a normal user, the user that runs torsmo of course. This script will get a list of all the updates that are important to you. In this script you can define which packages you are most interested in, to get updates! So let's get it on...

showUpgrades.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#Show Packages that need updating and you are interested in
# To add new packages just continue in the order '|foo|bar|zip|it|dot|com'
# always leave the end free of '|'
file=/tmp/emergeUpgradeList
showNr=15
intPackages="licq|amarok|fluxbox|firefox|xchat"


head -n $showNr $file | grep -e "\[ebuild *[U]* *\]" | egrep "($intPackages)" | awk '{print $4}'

and that's it already, when you run this script it shows you the 15 first updates of packages you are interested in! This list is a bit short though, my personal list is much longer! That's why I did this thing with the limit! Anyways now let's set up torsmo to display this, that's pretty easy to do, just executing with interval the script and that's it done thanks to the power of portage!

.torsmorc

Code: Select all

${execi 1800 whereTO/showUpgrades.sh}

I hope this is usefule to anybody! Cyas Nice thread btw! This was needed!

[kamisama]

I posted a topic asking how to get seti progress to work in 0.18-r1 torsmo before I saw this topic, the variables given in the sample config don't seem to work.

Has anyone had success with this? I'd love to have the progress in torsmo rather than having to run ksetispy or the like just to see my progress. Thanks in advance.

[ilythiiri]

how do i change the i2c location that .torsmorc reads by default ???
torsmo: can't open '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/temp1_input': No such file or directory
but i want it to read in this location "/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/device/1-0290/temp2_input"
a sym link wont work i've tryed that.
Thx in advance.
/*EDIT*/
if i put thi in .torsmorc
${exec cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/device/1-0290/temp2_input}
the output is 34500 and i want it to be this way 34.5

I too liked the powerstatus script. However, I have changed to fit my needs (my laptop has two batteries):

Code: Select all

# when both batteries are present
if grep -q yes /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state ; then 

	# get battery info
	bat1cap=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info | grep last`
	bat1rem=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state | grep remaining`
	bat2cap=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/info | grep last`
	bat2rem=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state | grep remaining`
	
		# strip text
		bat1cap=${bat1cap%' mWh'}
		bat1rem=${bat1rem%' mWh'}
		bat1cap=${bat1cap#'last full capacity: '}
		bat1rem=${bat1rem#'remaining capacity: '}

		bat2cap=${bat2cap%' mWh'}
		bat2rem=${bat2rem%' mWh'}
		bat2cap=${bat2cap#'last full capacity: '}
		bat2rem=${bat2rem#'remaining capacity: '}

		# make totals
		batscap=`echo "($bat1cap+$bat2cap)" | bc`
		batsrem=`echo "($bat1rem+$bat2rem)" | bc`

		# make percentage
		batsperc=`echo "scale=2; ($batsrem/$batscap)*100" | bc`
		batsperc=${batsperc%'.00'}

# when just one battery is present
else

	# get battery info
	bat1cap=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info | grep last`
	bat1rem=`cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state | grep remaining`

		# strip text
		bat1cap=${bat1cap%' mWh'}
		bat1rem=${bat1rem%' mWh'}
		bat1cap=${bat1cap#'last full capacity: '}
		bat1rem=${bat1rem#'remaining capacity: '}

		# make percentage
		bat1perc=`echo "scale=2; ($bat1rem/$bat1cap)*100" | bc`
		bat1perc=${bat1perc%'.00'}

fi

# when plugged in
if grep -q on-line /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state ; then 
	if grep -q yes /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state ; then 
		echo "plugged-in | Bat: $batsperc%"
	else
		echo "plugged-in | Bat: $bat1perc%"
	fi

# when running on batteries
else
	if grep -q yes /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state ; then 
		echo "Bat: $batsperc%"
	else
		echo "Bat: $bat1perc%"
	fi
fi

I see that some of you have torsmo-info showing in different places on the desktop. How do you do that?

[Arainach]

By running multiple copies of torsmo.

[marcus]

With multiple .torsmorc files?

[Arainach]

By running

Code: Select all

torsmo -c configfile

[VoiDeR]

When i run torsmo A it runs fine i used the -b option so it doesnt flicker. When i run torsmo B it disapears then when its time for it to refresh it reapears and A disapears and vice versa. Is there any way to stop this. Both are using the -b option.

Thanks

[nucular]

how do i change the i2c location that .torsmorc reads by default ???
torsmo: can't open '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/temp1_input': No such file or directory
but i want it to read in this location "/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/device/1-0290/temp2_input"
a sym link wont work i've tryed that.
Thx in advance.
/*EDIT*/
if i put thi in .torsmorc
${exec cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/device/1-0290/temp2_input}
the output is 34500 and i want it to be this way 34.5 :D

I have this in my .torsmorc

Code: Select all

 ${color grey90}CPU temp: ${color}${execi 0.5 echo "scale=1; `cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290/temp2_input`/1000" | bc}°C ${color grey90}MB temp: ${color}${execi 0.5 echo "scale=1; `cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290/temp1_input`/1000" | bc}°C

[CitizenX]

voider, Im getting the same bug....as of right now, you have to either live with the flicker of single buffer mode, or have each torsmo have its own window. I do this to have all my torsmos up and visible without flicker. The drawbacks are that torsmo isnt actually on the root window but above it in a borderless window of its own.

in .torsmorc:

Code: Select all

double_buffer no

or

Code: Select all

own_window yes

[ahlen]

I'm having a small problem. I want to set the default_color, default_shade_color and default_outline_color to #292820 but it's not working. When I try to start torsmo it only says config file error. Is it even posssible to set it to hexadecimal values? If that's not possible, how do I add the color to the rgb.txt then?

Could somebody maybe provide a little "idiots guide" for installing the XMMS::InfoPipe module, as I can't get it to work no matter what I try, and I haven't the first idea about perl.

When I try to use the crishchun's xmms.pl script, I get the following error;

Code: Select all

Can't locate XMMS/InfoPipe.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/mark/xmmsinfopl/xmms.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/mark/xmmsinfopl/xmms.pl line 6.

I have the xmms (and bmp) plugin installed and working fine, and I've copied the XMMS::InfoPipe.pm into numerous directories in /usr/lib/perl5.

Also, whenever I try to build it from source using the instructions found at http://search.cpan.org/~tsibley/XMMS-InfoPipe-0.032/, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

# perl Build.PL 
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Build.PL line 1.

I can't find any Module::Bulid.pm file anywhere, so am I missing some basic perl tools?

Thanks for any help.

Sure, we've got a problems thread, but why not a tips and tricks thread? For posting useful ideas.

First, never underestimate the power of the execi command. I've used it for things like checking on Folding@Home unit Status, System Logs, etc. I've seen other people use it for things like monitoring weather. Incredibly powerful command.

Here's my current .torsmorc file - It's almost entirely borrowed from the Forums user who I give credit to at the top. I'm in the process of tweaking it to my liking, but when I first saw it I was like "This is what I've been trying to do for a few months", so when he posted his I decided to scrap my homemade .torsmorc and modify his (with credit, of course)

I have a problem with this one! When I start torsmo bash says :

Code: Select all

/bin/torsmo-0.18/tweather.sh: line 7: lynx: command not found
/bin/torsmo-0.18/tweather.sh: line 7: lynx: command not found

ist that because of the Distribution (Fedora Core 3)? please help!

heres a hint. _INSTALL LYNX_!!!!

Never again forget a birthday (or any anniversary...):

You'll need hsbirthdays, a small program to remind you of the birthdays. It's a haskell program, so you'll need a haskell compiler. If you've got one, emerge time is less than a minute, if you need to install the compiler, grab a few coffees.

1) Get the ebuild from http://www.cs.uu.nl/~andres/hsbirthdays ... 1.0.ebuild and put it into your portage overlay dir.
2) Emerge hsbirthdays
3) Fill your .hsbithdays file with the birthdays (an example file is in /usr/share/doc/hsbirthdays-1.0/)
4) Add something like this to your ~/.torsmorc:

Code: Select all

${color slate blue}Upcoming birthdays:${color }
${execi 40000 hsbirthdays --noyear -d 21}
$hr

5) That's it! If you don't like the age display, use the --noage option.

torsmo needs like a plugins interface, so people can write plugins in C (or other languages i suppose). then it would be even better

[hpestilence]

then call it tdesklets (text desklets)
