project: clock for iLiad

[Adam B.]

I'm seeing that in my test area too. Not sure why it worked yesterday.

Try the attachment in post #12. That should work without any extra libs and should do it's own refreshes.

I think I fixed the segfault. Let me know.

Rebooting right now. Running shell script via Contentlister: got some "freezing".

[yokos]

./gtkclock

in mrxvt -> clock in top left pos is running.

export DISPLAY=:0
export scriptdir=`/usr/bin/dirname $0`
cd $scriptdir
./gtkclock --location=br --format=%H:%M --foreground=black --background=white

as run.sh/CL doesn't finish blicking LED.

Updating automatically without the hacked libx11? How about using the --location=tr?

Yep, updates every second [because of hh:mm:ss]

Don't you have dropbear installed on the iLiad? It really makes life easier...

I'm in the library - one network cable only/WLAN PCMCIA card at home.

[./gtkclock -l=tr] is working. Seconds of hh:mm:ss are out of screen.

Damn, that sucks...

How about -l=bl and -l=br as well? That's what I'd use the most.

both -l=bx are not working.

Is "screen" the same as one of gtkclock options'?

[Adam B.]

I don't think so, that seems to be an internal variable...

I wonder why the top works, but not the bottom. Odd. I'll probably have to troubleshoot that when I can test on my own iLiad.

[yokos]

A problem is that the app which is lying above the toolbar/pagebar gets kickout out of this area from time to time. I recognized this behaviour using the GUI mpd client Gimmix.
I don't know if setting "gtk window not moveable" or so could fix it.

The analogue clock xonclock [still stuggles a bit] has got many options to set the pos of screen. I will have a look at it & hopefully learn something.

Hi guys.

Is there a version for somebody who only knows how to install applications on iLiad (click on the install icon :-) and doesn't know how to submit linux commands on it?

I'd love to have this clock.

Thanks, David

This is already the average Joe version, i have no idea of linux and i tried this one without problems, just run from the content lister.

Did you install gtkclock.0.1.zip from the 1st post? This seems to be the only one with a manifest etcetera. if I follow the discussion correctly, some of Adam B.'s later versions could be installed much more simply (no need for a gtkclock.install phase). But perhaps they are not yet ready for general use, or need to be copied on top of the gtkclock.0.1 version.
