Could you try the new script in attachment? Execute it at the command line with your city code as an argument. ex: ./GrabWeather KCKB If the script worked properly, there should be 2 files in ~/.wmWeatherReports/ directory: KCKB.dat KCKB.txt Their timestamp must reflect they were just created. When I execute it, ls -l ~/.wmWeatherReports/ gives me: -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 98 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 601 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.TXT If so the script worked as expected and you can install it safely in /usr/share/gkrellm/ Hope it will be OK this time :-) midi-pascal

Here is the Perl script in attachment :-) The problem is that the URL to fetch the weather data changed and the data format too... The script name is: GrabWeather To install it, replace the existing one in /usr/share/gkrellm/: sudo cp GrabWeather /usr/share/gkrellm/ make sure it is executable: sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/gkrellm/GrabWeather Then restart gkrellm. That's it! Disclaimer :-) It worked perfectly for me but I cannot ensure it will work for you... Enjoy! midi-pascal

xsane crash
by Uwe Brauer 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hi I try to save a scanned document, which I have scanned with xsane. When trying to use a specific folder xsane crashes with the following message. [kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'xsane-gtk-tqt-application' crashing Years ago kgtk-qt3-trinity could cause certain applications to crash, but kgtk-qt3-trinity is not installed. Could it be something similar? Regards Uwe Brauer

Displaying QMap objects in a dialog
by Leslie Turriff 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

The application I'm writing will have a small group of key-value pairs associated with each object. Looking through the docs, I see widgets for displaying elementary items (e.g. TQListBox), but nothing for something like a TQMap (e.g. a TQlistBoxMap). I could use a TQTable, but that strikes me as akin to using a sledgehammer to kill flies. As a neophite c++ programmer, I know that in theory I can subclass TQListBoxItem to do this, but how to go about that, I haven't a clue. The docs say merely that ' If you need to insert customized items into a TQListBox you must inherit this class and reimplement paint(), height() and width().' Any suggestions to help get me started with this would be appreciated. Leslie

Struggling with "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3"
by Leslie Turriff 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi, I'm trying to learn to write a GUI app using the book "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3", which of course is not written with Trinity in mind, but hopefully will be enough to get me started. I've already figured out that I need to substitute 'tqmake' for 'qmake', but I can't get the simple 'helloworld' project to actually compile the c++ code. I've got the project generated, and I see the code in its src/ directory, but when I try to build it (the book says to use 'make') it says "make: Nothing to be done for 'first'." Here is the Makefile generated by tqmake: > > ########################################################################### > Makefile for building: Tutorial1 > Generated by qmake (1.07a) (TQt 3.5.0) on: Wed Nov 16 22:57:35 2016 > Project: Tutorial1.pro > Template: subdirs > Command: $(QMAKE) -o Makefile Tutorial1.pro > ########################################################################### > > MAKEFILE = Makefile > MAKE = tqmake > DEL_FILE = rm -f > CHK_DIR_EXISTS= test -d > MKDIR = mkdir -p > INSTALL_FILE= > INSTALL_DIR = > SUBTARGETS = > > first: all > > all: Makefile $(SUBTARGETS) > > Makefile: Tutorial1.pro /usr/share/tqt3/mkspecs/default/qmake.conf > $(QMAKE) -o Makefile Tutorial1.pro > qmake: qmake_all > @$(QMAKE) -o Makefile Tutorial1.pro > > all qmake_all distclean uicables mocables install_subdirs uninstall_subdirs uiclean mocclean lexclean yaccclean clean : FORCE > install: install_subdirs > > uninstall: uninstall_subdirs > > FORCE: > And here is the Project file: > ###################################################################### > # Automatically generated by qmake (1.07a) Wed Nov 16 22:47:58 2016 > ###################################################################### > > TEMPLATE = subdirs > > # Directories Are there additional steps required when compiling a QT project in Trinity?
