Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

[ka9qlq]

When I ran Gusty I had gkrellkam set up to get a bunch of local, and world weather maps, and radars but in Hardy it doesn't show the maps in the gkrell window and when you click on the window it doesn't update the files. What happened?

Re: Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

Just a guess: do you have "wget" installed? That's the program that actually downloadss the "stuff" from the net. I think it is installed automagically, but I'm not certain.

ka9qlq@dittohead:~$ wget
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

but thanks any way. It down loads the first pic then doesn't get new ones AND will not show any pics in the gkrellkam window.

and told gkrellkam it was the pic list and it works add the BASH file to CRON and you got a ghetto fix. Clunk!!!!!!!! Why does this work but not the old way?

Re: Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

Oh and use -Nq or it wont refresh right

Re: Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

Wow.

And I though I was pretty cool to get 2 CPU core temps and the moon plugin working on Gkrellm.

Re: Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

Well I think it doesn't work right because gkrellkam uses /tmp if your pic list file has the web address so it's probably a permissions problem but beyond my talent to fix.

Re: Gkrellkam stopped working in Hardy

For me, GkrellKam works fine! I get weather images from the web, the krell window just shows the resized-image and, when I click on it, the real image pops up. In these days, my network has been compromised in some hours of the day and I realized that GkrellKam doesn't work good in these moments. Maybe when the wget process doesn't finish your duty very well. Just talking about... Good luck! Nice script, however!... Sorry for the poor english, meu irmão!... 8)
