I made the Eee-pc widget which shows fan speed in rpm. Only useful if you have an Eee-pc.

(Sigmund, birthday widget is underdevelopment, I've been very busy with eee-pc stuff

)

About-dialog shows 2.5.0:
You have probably earlier installed 2.5.0, and now 2.1.0. Since The version-check-function only checks for higher version-number, it fails here. Please edit /root/.pwidgets/pwidgetsrc - 2.5.0 --> 2.1.0

The calender widget is fixed for next release. It will work ok if today is 10-31. It only fails if today is 1 digit date. Only 3 days, and everything will work perfect

... for 21 days anyway!!!

Thanks, Sigmund. I can wait for the update to fix the calendar.

I tested this on my Atom 1000HE; tempeature is reported as around 50degC and fan speed value is missing.

Hi jur, you need all tempestuous' dotpets for it to work, but be sure to get the right ones for your kernel. Look in the "Additional Software (PETS and stuff)" and search for "Extra drivers for 4.3 with k2.6.30.5" if you are running 4.3. Also be sure they are loaded, run "lsmod" and look for "eee".

Cheers

EDIT: Ahh, I see you've been to that thread, just make sure you have the right kernel. Check from terminal with the command "uname -r".
Does it display "0rpm"? If so it is working. The fan does not kick in until 54 c . Hope this helps.

You are doing a great job here these days......

craftybear
Next release with an updated calender widget will arrive before the next bug-period.

It sounds like you're NOT a newbie. Could you please look inside /root/.pwidgets/configs/battery, and remove the 'if_exist /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0' code.

Could we include the eee support in our temp_cpu widget:

Code: Select all

TEXT
${font pdingobats:size=30}${color4}z${font}${color0}${alignc}CPU Temp ${acpitemp} C  
${font pdingobats:size=30}${color4}v${font}${color0}${alignc}CPU Fan ${if_existing /proc/eee/fan_rpm}${execi 10 /root/.pwidgets/scripts/Temp_cpu}rpm$endif ${acpifan}

I have no ability to test it, but think it should work.

I was looking at that code thinking... 'if /proc/eee/fan_rpm exists then conky will execute both, ah well try it anyway..'

Yep both execute on my eee.

Will look into conky see if we can do 'else'

Cheers

Mick

EDIT: (1 min later)

Code: Select all

TEXT
${font pdingobats:size=30}${color4}z${font}${color0}${alignc}CPU Temp ${acpitemp} C 
${font pdingobats:size=30}${color4}v${font}${color0}${alignc}CPU Fan ${if_existing /proc/eee/fan_rpm}${execi 10 /root/.pwidgets/scripts/fan}rpm$else${acpifan}$endif

That works on the eee, see if it works on something else.. brb

EDIT2: (3 min later) Yep, works on my main box... we can integrate the widget, but I would change the name of the script to eee-fan or something.

Cheers

wow! I wished I did not put my ancient lenovo in the trash. Aw. Might have done it with puppy linux.

Yes just what we need, another new widget! Yes, but some of you will need this one...

Reminder Widget

Ever forgotten your Mum's birthday? Or your wedding anniversary? Or a particular day of importance? Well now there is no excuse.

This widget counts down the days to your particular event. There are presets for Birthday and Anniversary and also an "Other" field for anything else.

It is very easy to use and even comes with a help file if you get stuck.

Enjoy.

EDIT: Updated to V 0.1.1. Had a minor error with some missing " ' " in func file.

EDIT: Oct 17 2009, script bug

pet removed, See newer post

Hilarious Micko!

That's a great one! But I won't be needing it as I never forget

zigbert · #2575 Post by **zigbert** » Thu 15 Oct 2009, 14:44

Wonderful Mick

Since you are in the steam,

could we ask for a database that kept all birthdays during the year.

Latest Reminder widget

-added database of Birthdays (only)
-gave a facelift, changed 'Other' to 'Event"

Cheers

This is starting to be a great widget. Possibly the most useful of them all.

Test-report
- When I add the first birthday tomorrow, it shows up just fine. My second birthday is the day after tomorrow, and now this is the one showing up. I find it more logical to always show the next reminder.

- It would have been great if widget shows the next 3 birthdays. It could be 3 birthdays on the 3 next days. Then I didn't get the notice until the day before, and I had a lack of time to buy a gift.

- It doesn't work with more than 1 birthday each day. What about using scrolling, to show endless many reminders each day.

You are really getting the the grip of app-building.

Hi, people.
thank you for you work with pwidgets - it is splendid! So splendid i wont to have it not only by puppy but by my opensuse too.I have puppy since 2.14 but am not a programmer and dont know how to do it. i have by suse screenlets, but pwidgets are better.
Is it possible to do something like UNPET or PET2RPM? Sorry for silly question, but i wish i have pwidgets for suse...

zigbert · #2580 Post by **zigbert** » Sun 18 Oct 2009, 08:55

eugeniak1
if you rename 'pwidgets-2.1.0.pet' to 'pwidgets-2.1.0.pet.tar.gz' you can simply unzip it.

Conky in the Pwidgets package is patched, and has got an extra option 'own_window_type roxdesktop'. This to work better with Rox. Since Suse don't use rox as its pinboard, you need to change this setting in all Pwidgets config files. - $HOME/.pwidgets/configs/... The 'own_window_type' options has normally 3 possible values:

own_window_type normal
own_window_type desktop
own_window_type override

I don't know which will suit suse best.
