   no error shows in terminal

Then MrP updated it again.... lol

Re: weather in conky (LUA scripts)

yes, that would be a font issue
even if you do install them and refresh the font cache you have to kill and restart conky to get them showing up

@Sector11 those look great!

sorry for the confusion, you need these fonts
moon phases font and conkywindNESW in addition to the conkyweather font
which are here

you are quite welcome
when you have everything up and running can you post a screenshot and let me know what cpu you are getting with just that conky running?

Sector11, do you recall what kind of cpu usage you got from conky when you were using conkyforecast for a large weather display?

here is just me playing around
http://s10.postimage.org/3kozgon51/Screenshot.jpg

this uses the same data gathering function as the other scripts, but everything you see is generated in the lua script
http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/1316

in the conkyrc, im just loading the script and calling the functions
lua_load ~/lua/forecast_curve.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre weatherdata#starts the lua weather data gathering function, call once at top of conkyrc
TEXT
${lua weather}${cpu cpu0}

ive been working on the weather script, seeing if i can get the cpu down and working to make sure there are no memory leaks

i havnt been able to test the script for memory over a long period yet
but i plan to

Re: weather in conky (LUA scripts)

Be glad to MrPeachy

   just restarted computer xubuntu seems to not clear all mem after closing a window...
   on conky start up it was  9% cpu and 28% mem I'll close firefox and let conky run for a couple hrs and check again [ it's now 2:10 pm est]

Re: weather in conky (LUA scripts)

MrP On a fresh install #! Statler for the laptop (2.0 Ghz with 3 G memory) I was seeing 50% with weather conky and 55-60 with Chrome (becoming bloatware).
I have not installed the 1314 script yet.

I am wondering if I have sensors installed correctly on the desktop now.

50% cpu? that does seem a little high when i get 12% on my 1.66 Ghz Atom...
i think i might use the script to put together something more typical in terms of forecast output
i doubt most people wouldn't want to see everything for every day at the same time

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like your playing!!!!

conkyForecast drew 0 CPU usage once running, that was the beauty of it, until it did it's update.  Reason: I used templates once those became available, and that meant only 1 execpi call every 30 minutes to get ALL weather from the site.

update_interval 60

TEXT
${execpi 1800 conkyForecast --location=ARBA0009 --template=$HOME/Conky/templates/weather.template}

That was one of my "weather only" conkys, from an old screenshot, CPU usage on the bottom left:

     Ok after 2hrs run time it increased mem usage to 33% ....3% increase, nothing on cpu
    I believe the increase is due to the screensaver forgot to turn it off

thanks smile
i saw that you had deleted the snow chance from your conky earlier

i'm happy with the versatility and ease of use of my script
would be happier if it was a little les cpu intensive

i just dont like having conky eat up too many cpu cycles
although i suppose with a more powerful computer, the cost would be much less

Thanks dlm955

good that there doesn't appear to be any memory issues with the script
i think its the graphical scripts that tend to have the leaks

and 6 to 9 % isnt too high either

the latest version is probably as good as i can get it smile
if anyone has any ideas for additional functionality i would be happy to implement them if possible

Current temp and (BOOMM Time hack) at the bottom is all I need.

Can you add text at the bottom like I did for time? Add one graph at a time for testing.

Re: weather in conky (LUA scripts)

Just added cpu and mem usage to bottom of 1318 and ran it by itself
      mem usage same, cpu is cut in half....from the other I tested

Re: weather in conky (LUA scripts)

mrpeachy, I just upgraded to v7 of your script, thanks to Sector11. It is running in two columns.

I just widened the window & doubled the size of the font to 20.

Which has caused the columns to overlap some & I've lost sight of almost 4 days. (sounds like a bender doesn't it!)

@Sector11: I've got the weathericons displaying now, all over the place but displaying. smile

Hi there everyone, & hello to mrpeachy.

I've just rejoined here, (was a member some years ago in the early days of #!, not sure if I don't remember my login details correctly or my account has been deleted through lack of use? Either way there is no problem.)

mrpeachy I am who Sector11 mentioned a few posts up, who was wondering if it was possible to scroll your wondrous weather lua script in conky.

My eyes aren't great, & for a variety of reasons it suits me to sit with my eyes about 5ft back from a 24" screen.

Due to the eyes/distance, I enlarge all my fonts & it works pretty well with only rare times when I have to get my head close & pear over the top of my spectacles to attempt to read something. Thankfully. smile

So, (I'm getting to it) I have a Sector11 setup/modified conky using your forecast lua that is showing 10 days running top to bottom of the screen. If I use the default font sizes & conky size I really can't decipher much of it at all.

So I enlarged the font & widened the conky display to 450 which makes it easy to read, but I don't get more than 2 days in advance forecast before I run out of screen.

So the scrolling I'm talking about would allow me to bring up those hidden days into view.

Phew.

Beyond all that, I must thank you for your huge contribution to the conky/lua community. Your blog shows your humility & generosity.

I wish everyone a happy healthy, safe, secure & stimulating new year. big_smile Lets make this year better than the last one.

first, welcome to #! thanks for your kind words

second, down to business... as it is currently written and how it currently functions it would be difficult to implement a scroll function as you have suggested
BUT
perhaps with some tweaking and some re-writeing this could be possible (anything is possible when your writing your own code big_smile )
i have some ideas, but im wondering how to implement it

Also the weathericons aren't displaying, though I believe I have the path correct?

can you post your conky rc
and the setup portion of the lua script and ill see if i can track down the problem
