First distro hopping I have done in years...

Star-Linux by our own Ozitraveller

Nice work by Ozitraveller; downloading now. I'm going to attempt some repairs on the desktop that died; get this on there if I'm successful.

VSIDO + Mate -



Mate is a bit buggy; took it off the other computer (Debian Testing) since xfce is better and already installed. Give the cutting edge Mate a spin on VSIDO instead.

Thank you very kindly!

Hoping to get some new images uploaded soon when sourceforge will let me.

I really need to find a new home for my distro, sf has become a real pain lately.

Fuck Conky... Long live the arclance weather scripts

Don't like any weather stuff in conky. This does weather too. Good enough.

@Ozitraveller: Downloading. Eager to check it too.

BTW, my current desktop- Nothing special but I love it simple.

Clean:

^ that's a nice script, thanks for pointing it out.

Works well with conky -

Really satisfying!

It's a nice piece of work. Right now, I'm trying to locate an old script I used to get current conditions only and add it to the conkyrc. Unfortunalely, inxi -W in a conkyrc adds the color codes with the text.

Here you go PackRat, Current Conditions only script for you.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

latit=

curl -s --connect-timeout 30 -o /tmp/curr.json "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=$latit&lon=$longi&units=$uneet&mode=json"

if [ ! -f /tmp/curr.json ]; then
echo ""
echo -e "Unable to connect to openweathermap.org!"
echo -e "Check your internet connection!"
echo ""

exit 1

else
place=$(cat /tmp/curr.json | jq -r '.name')
nation=$(cat /tmp/curr.json | jq -r '.sys.country')
timecurr=$(cat /tmp/curr.json | jq -r '.dt')

rm /tmp/curr.json

It's a modification of pmwf so setup instructions remains the same,

Show it some conky love! I know you will!
Cheers!!!

Thanks. I have a new weather conky -



Direct Link

had to drop a day to fit my laptop screen (size 8 font just too small to deal with); will have the full output on the desktop.

Surreal Sea!  Nice weather script hakerdefoe!  The last few weeks, I've watched in awe as you pump out script after script for VSIDO!  Awesome work.  I'm still partial to arclance's work!  The fun of Linux!  You really can "have it your way"!!!   



EDIT: Fixed colors to better satisfy myself!

My pleasure!

Ok, Then I will never use it...    (I called it pmwf-vsido... oppps, said that loud?)

Thanks. I have a new weather conky -

Looks really cool, guys. But a conly for that? I still prefer to launch it in a drop-down terminal.

It's has a key binding. I bring up the weather and read the forecast (same with the tao). Another key binding kills all instances of conky and restarts the system information conky. Easy peasy.

@jedi - share the wallpaper, please.

@PackRat, here you go!

[PackRat]

thanks.

drive by posting - vsido, sakura, filezilla, compton:

 

[VastOne]

Nice TheRatMan

I really like sakura... using it exclusively now, VSIDO's default compton handles all of the opacity fine

I see it as a replacement for xfce-terminal

I care not for the drop-down capabilities, is that really a deal killer on terminals?
