maemo.org - Talk - [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I am using bluetooth_status.py script, but doesn't show anything. I have the latest version of python dbus. Is there another procedure to run scripts .py?. Thanks!.

^ make shure you have encoding set to UTF-8 and UNIX.
Then in terminal as user run:

Code:

chmod 775 /home/user/script.py

Then wait, some scripts have longer refresh intervals.
It works! :)

I just realised that Billboard is a better and more complete version of Nokia Sleeping Screen. I mean it in a good way. Awesome.
Analog clock?
With pictures exchanging every minute?
If analog is chosen can digital be disabled automatically?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I like to have used space minimal, so I wanted to shorten this line
"{weekday}, {date} ☀"
to only show short weekday in my languge, using slarti's

Code:

#!/bin/sh



day=$(date +%u)

echo | awk -v d=$day '{split("Ma Ti Ke To Pe La Su",a," "); print a[d]}'

and changed the line to
"{script: /home/user/shortday.sh}, {date} ☀"
But it generates a new line, so I edited it to

Code:

#!/bin/sh



day=$(date +%u)

echo | awk -v d=$day '{split("Ma Ti Ke To Pe La Su",a," "); print a[d]}'+chr(0)

but it doesn't work. :confused:

Also, when I use "{network-name} {network-name? ☸}" a blank line is generated if no network present which usually should not be the case.

Any help about avoiding new/blank lines is very welcome.

Try printf instead of print.

The problem with your network-name line not disappearing is billboard related, I think. If no network is present maybe an empty string is returned with a linebreak.
Either you can write your own script (should be possbile with a dbus-command) without a linebreak or thp could change this behaivor.

Thanks so much! printf works. :D
You can put those same line.

Code:

#!/bin/sh



day=$(date +%u)

echo | awk -v d=$day '{split("Ma Ti Ke To Pe La Su",a," ");

printf a[d]}'
