I keep getting 'segmentation fault'. Syntax?

I typed, (with terminal open in current dir)

resizepng 000_024.JPG new.png 200 150

and various other things and got that error.

Micko,

Maybe I can do something about the clock skin but the easiest and more logical way is to put a warning text message in /root/.pwidgtes/misc/ , for ex. warning.txt, that will consist of warnings such as:

- Clock skin has to be the size of 140x140 pixels
- frame has to be the size of .....x..... pixels
- bla bla

Because not only the clock skin that will have a problem with sizes, also the slideshow frame, maybe the weatherbg, etc (if more widgets with background to be included)

Again, that's my opinion

oh sorry, you must add the quality, too:

Entirely up to you mate. I love your work but maybe you need a rest! You have been very busy trying to fix this and have succeeded.

I may try to resize the clock automatically from a different perspective through a separate script or config. I'll look into it.

Sometimes it is nice do do something completely different. I have many side projects, which at times, makes focus on one difficult.

Like they say, 'Rome wasn't built in a day'!

Regards,

Mick

I am thinking of that maybe we can use this thread, besides a forum for fixing and updating the pwidgets, but also as a forum to accomodate more people to create widgets in .pet, more like the yahoo widgets or google gadgets thing.....so, on the first page, Zigbert can always update "new widgets" in a "additional widgets" list .........when already tested by him that is.......

I think that is a cool idea. There is a host of different widgets that could be adapted. Afterall Pwidgets is really a way to manage the widgets using conky as the engine.

Hi All,

I just modified the weather background to have transparency...yes..transparency...

Below is the pet package, as noted before, you"ll need to change the weather location code again, as the pet will make your local to be Jakarta

trio · #268 Post by **trio** » Fri 23 Jan 2009, 06:02

weather_bg transparent on a red wallpaper

Edit, made a new pet package....smaller in size

Hi, sorry, all the weatherbg.pet on page 17 and 18 are for those of you who uses "movewindow clock fix" for those of you who uses the click on clock fix, please edit usr/sbin/fixwidgets and remove the # on repected lines....I'll upload the pet for click on clock later....

edit: the pet below...warning, do not use the func file with windowmove xonclock fix, use the func file with slide fix only

I have thoroughly tested your fixes for 'clickonclock' and 'slide'

It is done now and all I did was increase sleep times for slower systems for the clock.

I had an issue where the slideshow would not appear. It was running, but behind the frame!
I added

Code: Select all

 echo  "sleep 1" >> $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-exec

immediately before the slideshow and it worked! This is a reasonably fast system for puppy, athlon 2100+. 512ram but it needed that sleep. I also changed the dummy file in scaled images to '000_000.jpg' to try and avoid any conflict with digital camera naming of files.
I will pet it up tonight and pack it off to Whodo.

Again, many thanks for your help, 'teacher' will surely reward you!

Mick

Micko,

Yes, I never mentioned it to you, but I had the same problem and put sleep value just as you did...I thought that it was only my slow computer...but actually it will happen to all slow computer...better put the sleep then Mick...

disaster!

One of the most wonderful thing about puppy is we can utilize old laptops...so for those of us who has to type acpi=force in the grub menu.lst ...cannot use the standard pwidgets battery status..so I modified one for you who wants it

01micko · #274 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 14:52

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

The .pet I uploaded is buggy! I was testing cups and made some wrong settings and couldn't get rid of them so I did 4.2alpha as a "pfix=ram" boot. Ok saved everything elsewhere, no probs, installed pwidgets-fixes and the slideshow doesn't work! It is not building the images in /scaledimages. It was before, must be something trivial.

If I may Micko..try this pet

01micko · #276 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 15:32

I see the difference but I'm having a problem on a fresh install. Maybe WhoDo forgot something, I'll try that.

trio · #277 Post by **trio** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 15:46

fresh install ....hmmm....I haven't seen anything missing or strange .......

01micko · #278 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 15:57

Nope, Whodo got it right. Hmmmmmmmmm, What to do?

trio · #279 Post by **trio** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 16:04

I hope somebody try and give comment here....sometimes we're too exhausted to see what's wrong....

01micko · #280 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 16:10

Ok, tried again, fresh, nothing else, just your pet (pretty much same as mine

), same result

Bedtime! Try tomorrow.
