CLI or conky

[Anonymous]

Inspired by PPC’s world-clock https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/cli-world-clock-mini-script/#post-74897
you can also insert this code into your existing antiX conky. Keep in mind to put your preferred locations into the appropriate time zone.
See /usr/share/zoneinfo

Vancouver ${alignr}${tztime Canada/Pacific %R}
New York ${alignr}${tztime America/New_York %R}
London ${alignr}${tztime Europe/London %R}
Berlin ${alignr}${tztime Europe/Berlin %R}
Tokyo ${alignr}${tztime Asia/Tokyo %R}

If you prefer a conky with day change (which could also be done with a starter to turn it on and off) above:

I’m more interested in the weather report you have on the left hand side, how did you accomplish that?

This is a weather conky based on the scripts of @TeoBigusGeekus — https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=189

-WUnderground conky script – All users and
-Moongiant conky script

The basic idea comes from @Sector11 with the accuweather-script.
Based on that @unklar realized it with the wunderground-script. I stole everything from both.
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=99260#p99260
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=93835#p93835

If you are interested, download the scripts and read the README file.
Start small if you have no experience yet! The original syntax is 1.10

If you have questions, ask.

@male – Funny to see Kastoria in the time widget at the top.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

If you want to display a simple weather in your antiX conky, you should first influence the size of the conky window:
Above TEXT would be

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 180 620
maximum_width 180

180 for the width and 620 for the length

Below TEXT this would be at the end

Weather
${font DejaVu Sans:size=8} ${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/KSO?q?0T?Q'}${font}

or
${font DejaVu Sans:size=8} ${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/KSO?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

curl retrieves the weather of your location here every 20minutes.
Used wttr.in from chubin, here with the IATA code of Kastoria airport (GR). The unit of measurement is additionally converted with “?u”.
So if you prefer °F instead of °C.

I have not visited the forum for a while, but I noticed these weather suggestions for conky. So I wanted to try them out because they might be useful for me.

I was able to get them to work. Thank you.
I wanted two weather locations so I added these lines to the .conkyrc file

Waukee weather:
${font DejaVu Sans:bold:size=9.82}${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/waukee?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

Green Bay weather:
${font DejaVu Sans:bold:size=9.82}${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/green+bay?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

I was also able to load the weather on startup in roxterm using the links2 program.
I added the following line to startup:

x-terminal-emulator --geometry 130x80+200+0 -e links2 wttr.in/waukee &

People will have to modify the location and also the size of the roxterm window for individual situations.
Thanks for these tips.

Not really. Now you can install the ft10-transformation package. It creates a menu entry, “Weather”, that summons a small terminal window (so it fits most displays) that shows wttr.in, using a better way to get the user’s location, and also localizes its contents to the system’s language.

I do love the conky displaying the weather, I had mine showing just text, this is much nicer!

Thanks, these are all great tips!

I’ve been playing around with wttr.in before, especially with the “one liner”, but I was never able to get the wind speed from km/h to m/s. Where I’m from m/s is standard so thats what I’m used to. Its a simple calculation so maybe some grep-fu and bash script could do it. Or if I just missed where the setting for it is.

Anyways, while we’re on weather services, this is a great one:

finger yourlocation@graph.no

gives you an ASCII graph of the weather, using data from YR.no.

finger @graph.no

gives you usage instructions.

Hum… I guess my google fu is great (at least my ddg-fu) I searched for less than 5 minutes and found out how to do that:
append “?M” at the end of the the wttr.in address:
ex:
curl wttr.in/london?M
