Sun and Weather modules not and not quite working, respectively

Bug Report

Description

Affected module: sun and weather Version used: latest git On ArcoLinux latest kernel.

First day trying this out, and I'm impressed, however I don't program so it's Greek to me where to set the lat and long values for the sun module to work. I went to util.location, but no breakthrough. I'm sure it's embarrassingly simple though... For fun I messed with weather.py in case I could blunder my way to the solution for that. Still no luck. The weather module works, but doesn't use my geographical location, and the IP it uses is in the next province. How can I set that correctly? Thanks.

How to reproduce

Load the module with default values.

ghost commented 3 years ago

I've done more homework, since I needed to ... The -p parameter simply isn't working in any module so far.

cpu2 doesn't display temp or frequency, but does display a max frequency, it seems. The cpu module displays a fixed 27C, but does correctly display frequency and load %. I haven't found a string that displays the day of the week, and the one from my Polybar is apparently not it.

Hello and sorry that it took a while to get back to you!

Can you show us the command you are using?

Reg. weather / parameters in general:

Those look something like this:

bumblebee-status -m weather cpu -p weather.location=London

(not 100% sure which city names are accepted, would need to look that up)

Date/time strings are strftime compatible strings (https://strftime.org/)

Hope that helps a bit!

Hi and thanks for the reply,

Progress - the datetime module is working fine. That was too easy. The weather module works when I type in the location using the formatting in your example. So that's two for two facepalms. :)

As for sensor related issues, I have a 2700 and an RX-580 on a Crosshair VII and somewhere between the UEFI and ArcoLinux, some info vanishes. I know there was/is a module/driver missing/not yet available and haven't actually checked in a while. It also seems to depend on the DE/TWM, but since I don't usually stress-test the hardware, it's not been priority.

I've been having fun making themes and wonder if alternate spacer shapes are on your list. :)

ghost commented 3 years ago

Hi, no worries,

That certainly helped. Lots of progress.

-sun required python packages I hadn't installed. It's off by about 25 minutes, so this cpu.lat="36,9256" cpu.lon="-65,8845" (not the actual values being used) doesn't match the weathernetwork.

weather works now.
date/time is figured out also, with one oddity I'm working on - a 24 hour clock artefact showing ahead of the output. I was using "%H %A %d %B %Y" but %c took care of everything.
cpu is still stuck on 27ºC, and hddtemp isn't working.
cpu2 is still partially working only.
system is returning can't load module. i3exit might need me to reboot.
progress only shows n/a but not activity, Haven't set any parameters.
playerctl only displays the skip ahead and skip back buttons. I can mute by clicking in the middle two spacers that display instead of expected info.
-m redshift -p redshift.location=manual redshift.lat="XX,XXXX" redshift.lon="-XX,XXXX" doesn't work - get n/a, auto the same.
for cpu2, maxfreeq works, the rest are n/a except the %used and the display graph.
arandr is unable to load module, but xrandr does.
arch-update seems to be not working.
how does one configure the spacer widget? I'd love to make new shapes.
Could be magic - sensors2 is working like gangbusters. :)

That's it for today.

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 3 years ago

Glad that there is some progress :)

Thanks also for the typo reports, those should be fixed now.

reg. cpu and cpu2 - those use slightly different methods to retrieve the values, and especially sensors (temperature etc.) are notoriously unreliable on some machines. Unfortunately, I am not sure how much I can do to help there (especially if you get a value, but it looks wrong). Can you compare bumblebee-status's output with the output of the tool "sensors"?
system requires the Tk python module, maybe that is an issue?
progress requires the binary progress, do you have that installed?
redshift requires the binary "redshift" to be installed, is that present on your system?
not sure about arandr, sorry :(
arch-update requires pacman-contrib to be installed, is that present?
spacer works like this: "-m spacer:test -p test.text="your text" test.left-click="binary to execute on left click" "

Hope this helps!

Update:

redshift is installed and while it occasionally has done its infamous flashing, lately it's behaved.
no worries for arandr since it loads as it should through i3 and I never change the settings.
Tk python??
So can the shape of the spacer be changed?
arch-update now displays, but isn't clickable. Is it possible to make it clickable?
yes progress is installed. I assume copying from gui is equivalent to cli. Reboot for it?
wont' worry about the sensors that don't work since enough do.
Thanks again. :)

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 3 years ago

I meant the tkinter module, but it seems that should be present always, so maybe the issue with system is something else
spacer: It depends on what you mean by shape - you can change the text/icon it displays, but that is about it
afaik, progress only works for CLI tools (mv, cp, etc.)
arch update can be made clickable by adding "-p arch-update.left-click="

have fun and thanks for using bumblebee!

ghost commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the info. System now works, though it isn't displaying an icon. Maybe a logout/in thing. No biggy. The spacer is the one I'll have to tinker with the most. Last question before letting my keyboard cool off - is it possible to load a second bar?

But otherwise, I'll give you a break and go back to theming. I'm making rainbow themes, and eventually I'll make some from the palettes generated by Oomox that I happen to have lying around. :)

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 3 years ago

Glad to hear it!

Yes you can have multiple bars, that is an i3 feature. In the config, just specify one bar for top and one for bottom.

New colorful themes sounds promising :)

have fun!

ghost commented 3 years ago

Very cool. I'll git themes when they're ready.

ghost commented 3 years ago

Yup. Two bars is a piece of cake to set up. Having a veritable blast with this. :) I'm using rounded corners, so they look really slick.

Is there a way to fade the arandr screen off/on transition?

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 3 years ago

That is a question more for the arandr maintainers or, since arandr mostly is a frontend for xrandr, the xrandr devs.

However, since fade in/out functionality is mostly done by composite window managers, I think it is unlikely to work out of the box. Maye if you look at something like compiz, you find a way to achieve this.

ghost commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the info.

Nothing is making arch-update work, unfortunately. I'm missing something, I suppose.

Found a typo in the indicator section:

indicator.signalstype: If you want the signali type color to be ‘critical’ or ‘warning’ (defaults to ‘warning’)

signal

Do you have the check-updates binary?

ghost commented 3 years ago

No I don't and I've searched my system, the arch repo and AUR. Elusive little sucker.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/community/pacman-contrib/checkupdates.8.en

It is part of the pacman-contrib package.

(sorry about the wrong "-" in the name I mentioned earlier)

ghost commented 3 years ago

Most bizarre, because it's working just like that now. Check another off the list.

I'll make a final comment here that there seems to have been a connection between Ibhagwan's fork and redshift. I went through the wiki and added a required line for the services, and also added killall redshift && before exec redshift & in the i3 config, and so far, so good. No need to keep this issue going.
