YAD - Tips

[stemsee]

I have a list of network blocks, each assigned to variables in a text document, I can display the blocks with

Code: Select all

. $HOME/.wifi-connect/netblocks
echo $A{a..z}

, and also display a selector with

Code: Select all

yad --plug=$$ --form --field="Selector:CBE" "`echo A{a..z}`"

However I cannot get the selected eg, 'Ag', even when written to a file as

Code: Select all

$Ag

to expand as a variable, it remains treated as an object.

when I import the netblocks file with 26 blocks as variables as follows

Code: Select all

# Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted.

Ac='$sect
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
	group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40'

# WPA-Personal(PSK) with TKIP and enforcement for frequent PTK rekeying

Ad='$sect
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=TKIP
	group=TKIP
	wpa_ptk_rekey=600'

# Only WPA-EAP is used. Both CCMP and TKIP is accepted. An AP that used WEP104
# or WEP40 as the group cipher will not be accepted.

Ae='ssid=$ssid
	proto=RSN
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
	group=CCMP TKIP
	eap=TLS
	identity="$id"
	ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem"
	client_cert="/etc/cert/user.pem"
	private_key="/etc/cert/user.prv"
	private_key_passwd="$password"'

They can be piped from a terminal which has imported the variables from the file, with

Code: Select all

echo "$Ag" >/tmp/PIPE

but not from the code which is

Code: Select all

rm -f /tmp/PIPE
mkfifo -m 755 /tmp/PIPE
exec 4<> /tmp/PIPE
touch /tmp/net
. $HOME/.wifi-connect/netblocks
while read line
do
. $HOME/.wifi-connect/netblocks
echo "`cat /tmp/net`" >/tmp/PIPE
done &
yad --plug=$$ --tabnum=1 --list --columns=1 --item-separator=" " --column="NetBLocks:CBE" `echo A{a..z}` --select-action='bash -c "printf %s $1 | sed 's/^/\$/g' >/tmp/net"' &

yad --window-icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/refdnd.png --width=400 --height=400 \
--no-buttons --on-top --paned --splitter=100 --key=$$ --title="NetBlocks" --tab="Preview" --tab="Selector" --orient=hori  &

So what am I doing wrong?

Perhaps, yad applies a custom version of the the general theory of relativity. Time is relative to the length of the Gtk+ bar?
So, that is why I look so young!

You learned the secret from Doctor Who.

Thanks misko

It works perfectly. At first I copied from the webpage and pasted into geany etc it didn't work until I reformatted it.

I see that using a pipe not a file is essential. I thought I was quite close!

thanks again

Hello misko_2083.

Can you help me solve the problem with a script. I modified your youtube-dl script, but without success.
I wish to add the forms with checkboxes and progress (with --enable- log) to an window. It's like appinstaller, checkboxes call scripts and when the archive is unpacked, a final dialog pops up.
For a week now I can't solve the problem, it does not work.

It looks like this:

You must have had a lot of 8-bit fun.

I made an example with for one loop as the main process so you can see how the data is flowing to the progress bar.
The form fields are now restored.
Also you may want to disable the form fields while installing. Added that too.

How to print a realtime unpacking log from xz (gz, 7z whatever) to YAD log spoiler instead process simulation? And call a popup dialog if the "Abort" or "Close" or window close button pressed during installation?

I chose the path to extract, but:

Code: Select all

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I add "$1" as a destination folder to the tar:

Code: Select all

tar xfv archive.tar.xz -C "$1" 2>&1 >> $percentage_pipe & echo $! > "$main_proc_id"

and now:

Code: Select all

tar: '/home/lika/local apps': Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

It looks like the script doesn't find the specified folder because that folder is not in the current folder where the script is located.

[fredx181]

I add "$1" as a destination folder to the tar:
Code:
tar xfv archive.tar.xz -C "$1" 2>&1 >> $percentage_pipe & echo $! > "$main_proc_id"

That works for me if I remove the slashes (and quotes after them) on line 3, so becomes this:

Code: Select all

export faextraxt='bash -c "install_app %1 %2 %3 %4"'

In this case the archive.tar.zx is unpacked in the same folder where is it located.
Regardless of the specified path.

Strange.. works for me to extract to folder of choice, with this tar extract line the way you changed:

tar xfv app.tar.xz -C "$1" 2>&1 >> $percentage_pipe & echo $! > "$main_proc_id"

Yes, pathing works. My previous post was wrong.

And how to print a original realtime unpacking log (which can be seen in the terminal) from xz, gz etc to YAD log spoiler instead percentages simulation + call a popup dialog ("Are you sure you want to cancel the installation?) while "Abort" or "Close" or window close button pressed.

I tried to apply the "--wrap" option for the log spoiler, but seems it not affected for progress form or I'm doing something wrong.

There is some output, but not all, I think commenting out some lines starting at line 41, change to:

Code: Select all

   while read line; do
#     if [[ "$(echo $line | grep '[0-9]*%')" ]];then
#       percent=$(echo $line | awk '{print $2}')
#        echo "${percent%.*}%" >> "$progress_pipe"
        echo "$line" >> "$progress_pipe"
#     fi

Then I see all output from tar.

Your other question can be answered better by misko, I guess.

Then I see all output from tar.
Fred

Thank you.
I'll see.

[misko_2083]

Thanks fredx181, don't know why I thought that DIR field in the form dialog doesn't quote the path.

lika Added pv command to display the progress. One more dependancy to install but I see no other way for now.

X window button is managed by the window manager so intercepting it is impossible. It's only possible to get the exit status 252 when the window is closed via X.That's why I added undecoratzed to pprevent the paned dialog from closing and --no-escape to prevent closing the same dialog if Escape was pressed. That is the simplest solution. Anything else would be too complex.

To use the checkboxes in the function install_app you would need to check if $2 and $3 are true or false.

The script now displays extra dialogs and prevents them from opening multiple times e.g.if the cancel and abort buttons are clicked several times. This is working for me:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

if ! hash pv; then
   yad --text "install pv first"
   exit 1

by the way fred, discovered something by accident.

killing $YAD_PID in the beginning of funcion install_app, closes the first tab and the second tab goes to the top of the paned window.
The progress continues to run.

Code: Select all

.....

function install_app
{
# Check this out
kill $YAD_PID

# Form fields are read in a cycle 1-4, each cycle sets new values

# Disables all the form fields when the install starts
#echo "@disabled@" > "$form_pipe"
#echo "@disabled@" > "$form_pipe"
#echo "@disabled@" > "$form_pipe"
#echo "@disabled@" > "$form_pipe"

....
