Topic: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

Greetings all,
Have been trying to get weather working in conky for a while now. I have tried the weather.xoap scripts in conkyForecast but it seems as if weather.com is going to an API and is only on a free offer until you have to pay a monthly fee.
So I followed the directions to the letter in this thread about setting up weather with wunderground.

Once I got everything switched over to the correct folder and edited the .conkyrc to point to the correct folder I held my breath and launched.
Something definitely came up on the screen but it's a mess.
Received this from launching via terminal:

Conky: /home/ichase/.conkyrc: 39: no such configuration: 'border_margin'
Conky: desktop window (223) is root window
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1800001)
Conky: failed to set up double buffer
Conky: drawing to single buffer

I see many people using weather scripts on their 1st conkys with no issues. I put the blame on myself that there must be some variable that I am not getting.
So your help and guidance is greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Ian

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

If all your wanting is weather for the current day, and not some complex script that uses the weather font, or gives full forecasts, heres a great one line script thats really easy to use.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

weather-util is also good for a slightly more comprehensive weather report; simplest syntax is `weather [alias]`, where [alias] is your local METAR station. Since ichase is clearly a Caniac, I'm guessing RDU would be your METAR alias?

Forecasts are still broken for weather-util, by the way...been broken about a year and a half now...not the developer's fault though; NOAA changed how forecast data is organized on their server.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

^ Ah. I thought you were the one who'd mentioned weather-util previously. Handy tool.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

Well, looks like Texas still has the old directory structure. Weird. In NC, this was broken sometime around March last year.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yes I am most definitely a caniac pvsage but live in Virginia Beach because that is where the job is. Been happy with their play against Boston and Buffalo.
I tried out the script from Arch linux forums. Arch is what I use anyway so I tried it out but obviously did something wrong. I substituted "METRIC" for my zip code but I get the following error when running conky from the terminal:

curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
/home/ichase/weather.sh: line 18: http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=1&locCode=23454: No such file or directory

I changed the necessary things in the weather.sh script as far as I can tell.

#!/bin/sh
#AccuWeather (r) RSS weather tool for conky
#
#USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>
#
#(c) Michael Seiler 2007

if [ -z $1 ]; then
    echo
    echo "USAGE: weather.sh <23454>"
    echo
    exit 0;
fi

curl -s

So not sure what I am doing wrong.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

Did you set permissions on your weather.sh?

The reason I ask such an elementary question is because for the longest time it was an error I continued to make. It's just a question.

Thanks for the reply dubois,
I made it executable and the permissions are set to read/write for user.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

...and the path is correct? Here's the short version of that script from my files if you choose to try it. Just to double check things, you know?

#!/bin/sh
#AccuWeather (r) RSS weather tool for conky
#
#USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>
#
#(c) Michael Seiler 2007

METRIC=0 #Should be 0 or 1; 0 for F, 1 for C

if [ -z $1 ]; then
    echo
    echo "USAGE: weather.sh 78758"
    echo
    exit 0;
fi

curl -s http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}\&locCode\=$1 \
| sed -n '/Currently:/ s/.*: \(.*\): \([-0-9]*\)\([CF]\).*/\1\ \2°\3/p'

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

dubois, that seemed to do the trick. Now I see on my conky "Clear 63 degrees" I take it I can work on the script and get more info?

Thanks again.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

No if you leave it in its current state, thats what it gives you, todays forecast and nothing else (hence its a one liner) if you red page 3 it has another script that gives you a bit more info

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

I searched all morning for this script yesterday.
I want about 6 lines of text for forecast- same as in the Arch script using awk script in this post.

I cannot seem to get the longer text as shown in the RSS feed. All I get is what is shown below-

WEATHER
Now: Clear, 64F
Today: 55-85C
Tomorrow: 55-81C

weather.sh script http://pastebin.com/VNm8uLfw

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

^ I was never able to get that to work as it's written which is why I settled on the shortened version. Too many weather codes are either too verbose or too brief... and I'm merely a user.

if [ -z $1 ]; then
    echo "USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>"

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

I love weather and weather apps! Once I get some coffees in me I'll give it a try -- not like I can't look outside and see we're still in the worst or second worst drought since 1500 based on tree ring growth.

EDIT -- No, that didn't work. It just left a blank space in my conky like the other long version from the original source. Xin loi.

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

I *must* learn AWK. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/[ZIP] gives a very detailed local forecast (for US ZIP codes anyway...no offense intended to people in other countries, it's just the US is where I live). The text-based browsers like links2 & lynx display this in a fairly readable format, but everything's in a single looong column, and there's a lot of cruft...shouldn't take too much work to parse it into something that can be beautifully displayed in Conky, or possibly in a terminal window. As far as I know, these pages aren't part of the "Oh by the way, this is going to be a subscription-only service soon" API crap.

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: {SOLVED} Conky Weather Disaster

Here are my two scripts:
Temperature:

#!/bin/bash
WEATHER=`wget -q -T 1 -O - http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/pasadena/91101/city-weather-forecast.asp?unit=c | grep '<div class="info"> <span class="cond">' | grep -o [0-9] | sed '/.*[^\.]$/N;s/\n *//'`
WEATHER=$WEATHER°
echo $WEATHER

Conditions:

#!/bin/bash
wget -q -O - http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/pasadena/91101/city-weather-forecast.asp?unit=c | grep -o '<div class="info"> <span class="cond">[A-Z].*</span> <strong' | sed -e 's/.*<span class="cond".//' | sed -e 's/<\/span>.*//'

You'll have to change the URL to your city/zip-code. If you want it in Fahrenheit, take off the ?unit=c part at the end of the URL. I don't have forecasts working yet, but I could try...

The code I posted did not work?

It works for me here, but I am going to attempt the weatherunderground.api (json) as a feed and see if I can get setup before the $68/month charges hit.

LOL I take heart that Sector11 admits he is a user not a coder.

I need to rebuild my entire conky from May - but it works so I don't. The only reason I am seeking alternative weather is the pending end of the keys for weather.com
