torsmotoy desklet issues are discussed here.

By CitizenX (Themer / Graphic Artist), on Thu Mar 24 14:35:12 2005.

I'm getting color discrepancies...for instance I use ${color orange} in one of my torsmos and torsmotoy renders it as red.

I'm also unable to run $exec with multiple commands. For instance, I use

Code:


${exec ps gaxo %cpu,%mem,comm,user|sort +0nr|head -n 5}


and I get:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./torsmotoy.py", line 822, in ?
    Events(dirname(__file__)).pause()
  File "./torsmotoy.py", line 766, in __init__

    result=self.__class__.__dict__['_'+ str(self.var[0])](self)
  File "./torsmotoy.py", line 493, in _exec
    return TorsmoString(popen(' '.join(self.var[1:])).read().strip(),None)
TypeError: sequence item 4: expected string, int found


I've tried it with different permutations of the ps command, and it seems that it only comes up when I try to pass ps through to another command. ${exec ps} works just fine, along with any other single command.

It is not multiple commands that are at stake here, it's me failing to include boundary control for type conversion... Around line 493, it reads:

Code:


def _exec(self):
        return TorsmoString(popen(' '.join(self.var[1:])).read().strip(),None)

When it should be:

Code:


def _exec(self):
        return TorsmoString(
            popen(' '.join([str(v) for v in self.var[1:]])).read(),None)


As for the color problem, orange is, well, quite redish by X window definition.

Code:


red, green, blue = (255,69,0)

It occurs that X Window does perform some "automated color correction" due to limited colormaps sometimes... So you might want to try orange1 instead, as it is probably the real color you are seeking; there is not much I can do about it. I will package version 0.0.2 right away.

[EDIT]
torsmotoy 0.0.2 is now available.

Can I use xft fonts in torsmotoy ?? .. my old .torsmorc works but not fonts

Thanks in Advance for a flicker free future .. lol

In the README, I wrote:


Most global options are ignored, since they do not have meaning within adesklets. Options that are supported are:

  • color management options: default_color, default_shade_colors, draw_shades, but not default_ouline_color
  • border management options: draw_borders, stipples_borders, border_margin, border_width
  • mail spool settings: mail_spool
  • display update settings: update_interval



Well, adesklets is based on Imlib2, and Imlib2 only understand true-type fonts... Right now, I did not put any configuration effort on fonts, and VeraMono usage is hardcoded at line 777 of torsmotoy... You can of course manually change it there; it's also quite trivial to make it a global option in config.txt...

By MrGreen (User), on Sat Apr 2 14:22:04 2005.

Ok ... :oops: that told me...Thanks for your help...

Just changed 777 fonts are sweet now ... (still think an option in config.txt would be nice ;-))

emm I hate those stippled lines lol........

$battery
$downspeed, $downspeedf, $upspeed, $upspeedf
doesn't seem to work with my ibm T30

ACPI is enable in kernel
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state works fine.

I also specified
${battery BAT0}
${downspeed eth0}

but no luck

By syfou (Core Developer & Desklet Author), on Tue Apr 19 14:08:07 2005.

In the README, I wrote:


Most variables are supported and kept their original behavior. For complete
portability across Unix, a few variables were dropped:

  • acpi related variables
  • seti related variables (could probably be done, but I did not have what
    was needed to test it).
  • battery

By TimSchutte (Fearless Moderator), on Wed Apr 27 23:50:50 2005: Torsmotoy install difficulties.

Hi All,

I downloaded torsmotoy-0.2.0, and I am having some problems getting it to work.

When I run it I get the following message:

tim@dojo torsmotoy-0.0.2 $ ./torsmotoy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./torsmotoy.py", line 16, in ?
import statgrab
ImportError: No module named statgrab

I have installed the libstatgrab package via urpmi, and I downloaded pystatgrab-0.3, but when I tried to install it, I get the following:

./setup.py install
Error, libstatgrab is not installed (according to pkg-config).

But here:

root@dojo pystatgrab-0.3 # locate libstatgrab
/usr/share/doc/libstatgrab5-0.11.1
/usr/share/doc/libstatgrab5-0.11.1/ChangeLog

What the heck am I doing wrong???

From the rest of your message (you already know it, I guess), you absolutely need pystatgrab, as stated in torsmotoy's README.

Probably nothing... I would bet your urpmi package removed or misplaced the pkg-config description (the .pc file)... So Just try downloading and installing libstatgrab by hand from source (do not forget the --prefix=/usr argument at configuration time)... Let me know if it didn't work.

The original torsmo does work, after I installed ~/..torsmorc

Any suggestions?

Tim,

I must say the mailer capability were largely untested on python 2.3, so it is possible I made some portability mistakes... Would you care sharing your torsmorc with me, either here or by email?

I'll send it via email.

By justmehere (User), on Fri Apr 29 19:27:38 2005.

Just got this with a new version of torsmotoy:
File "./torsmotoy.py", line 658, in _time
return TormoString(time.strftime(fmt))
NameError: global name 'TormoString' is not defined

The line should actually read "TorsmoString"....I changed it and it works now.

By syfou (Core Developer & Desklet Author), on Fri Apr 29 20:00:53 2005.

Thanks for the fix... I will incorporate it.

I'm quite the newb, and I've managed to get this

~/.torsmorc

Code:

default_color black
default_shade_color white
default_outline_color black
alignment top_right 
font 8x13

Just the generic config so far as I know.

Also, I did needed to do this

Quote:

Just open /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h file and add #include <linux/types.h> before the struct declaration.

so that libstatgrab would compile.

By syfou (Core Developer & Desklet Author), on Wed May 4 21:39:09 2005.

Just add some content (a TEXT marquer, then some markup)... In a pure pythonic way, there is no boundary control for degenerated or corner-case .torsmorc (There is no formal grammar anyway)... You can just start up with torsmorc.sample provided with torsmotoy 0.0.2. Please not also there is currently an issue in some Python environment with the handling of mail-related variables... I should have a look at it in the upcoming week. Regards,

I see...
well, not explicitly. But I got the gist.
Thanks for all the help. :D

Any idea how to proceed (i am not root in my machine, so that makes it a bit more difficult)? Is it due to python2.3?

I would need to see your $HOME/.torsmorc... Normally, this torsmotoy should run fine on Python 2.3.x.

By fp2099 (User), on Mon Feb 20 16:51:52 2006: No net status.

Torsmotoy doesn't display net stats.

http://static.flickr.com/36/102263753_c1a937c073_o.png

Code:


statgrab -M net.eth0.
net.eth0.collisions = 0
net.eth0.duplex = unknown
net.eth0.ierrors = 0
net.eth0.interface_name = eth0
net.eth0.ipackets = 280227
net.eth0.oerrors = 0
net.eth0.opackets = 322818
net.eth0.rx = 75
net.eth0.speed = 0
net.eth0.systime = 1140466437
net.eth0.tx = 220
net.eth0.up = true


.torsmorc

Code:

interface_name eth0


If you are wondering.:

Code:

statgrab -s net.eth0.tx
net.eth0.tx = 243917486

net.eth0.tx = 6560

net.eth0.tx = 8989

net.eth0.tx = 14355

net.eth0.tx = 10693

By syfou (Core Developer & Desklet Author), on Mon Feb 20 17:58:49 2006.

The fact that you get the TX and RX fields out of statgrab does not always mean the rates will be computed right. Related code in torsmotory.py is in _downspeedf() and _upspeedf()... Just try:

Code:


import statgrab
from time import sleep
while True:
    print statgrab.sg_get_network_iface_stats()
    sleep(1)

Most likely, the speed item won't budge from zero, no matter what... I recall having seen this from time to time on a few platforms... I encourage you to report such problems to the statgrab/pystatgrab authors. Yours,

In case it matters, I haven't altered config.txt in any way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Castral,

you only get this with torsmotoy? What about weather, for instance?

P. S. I'm using Python 2.5 but I tried testing with 2.4's mailbox.py and got the same error there.
