install-sh ?
posted by alexander (anonymous) - 2002-12-05 09:25:47

Im relativly new to linux. Sorry :-)
So what do I have to do to get it run ?
How do I use this install-sh thing ?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to put answers to such question in the EMPTY install, readme file ?

Docking it?
posted by Chris (anonymous) - 2003-01-12 22:04:31

I can get this one to compile, and even run nicely, but I can't seem to dock this thing. It won't let me drag it to the dock (just turns on backlight), it doesn't have an app icon to drag, and the advanced options when run in windowed mode won't let me select "emulate app icon" as in other apps.

What's the trick?

Thanks,
Chris

posted by Count Nicotine (anonymous) - 2003-02-15 17:42:04

the trick is in where you click.
i imagine you've already figured this out with the few months it's been since you posted but just click in the very upper left corner.

posted by (anonymous) - 2003-03-29 05:32:23

Try holding down the alt key when you click to drag it to the dock

Newbie installation woes
posted by Wop (anonymous) - 2003-09-23 02:56:07

I've installed all my development tools (i think) and it still tells me "The libXpm library was not found, but is necessary to build this library" after it checks for XpmCreatePixmapFromData in -lXpm. I'm confused on this one.

Where is it checking for this? Where the hell is -lXpm?? How do I go about finding this and moving it to wherever the hell the configure command is telling it to look for it?

Sorry about the ubernewb question but I really wanna get this working. Thanks

-Wop
Re: Newbie installation woes
posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2003-09-23 03:21:46

You need the Xpm library, version 3.4 (at least). Both the library and its developpment
files (the -dev stuff).

Checking for this depends on your OS.
Missing "shape extension stuff" ?
posted by Denholm (anonymous) - 2003-11-26 12:21:14

I tried to compile this app, beginning with:
'./configure --with-x-includes=/usr/X11R6/incluide --with-x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib'.

But the above command ends with the message:
"checking XShapeCombineMask in -lXext.....no
Cannot find shape extension stuff"

Am I missing some X library to get this working (please note that I have XFree86-libs 4.3.0 installed) ?

Thanks in advance.

There is a typo in the include dir.
Moreover, configure should not need that you specify these directories.


RE: Missing "shape extension stuff" ?
posted by Denholm (anonymous) - 2003-11-26 15:04:12

Sorry for the typo ;-) Anyway, I just realized that some other dockapps needed XFree86-devel to compile. Does wmclockmon need that ?

Of course yes :)

posted by Denholm (anonymous) - 2003-11-27 19:11:23

Thank you very much ! After installing XFree86-devel AND gtk+-config, I got some more docks on the right-hand side of my screen (including wmclockmon) ;-)

Best regards,

NetBSD Support
posted by Eric (anonymous) - 2004-01-11 17:45:07

> No netbsd support :(

It runs fine under NetBSD.
Edit the configure script and look for the part that sets the OS variable (search for 'openbsd' to get there quick), and add something like the following:

netbsd*)
OS=netbsd
;;

then ./configure and the usual.

That's already the case. You would have known it if you had read the man page and the previous messages.

I need _more_ informations in order to debug this problem, since it seems to work on most system I know.
OS, architecture, versions of the needed libraries.
I may need to send people for whom Itime doesn't work a patch and know what it gives.

Cannot switch clock modes when numlock is on
posted by Nick Peaden aka Nitrocloud (anonymous) - 2004-02-14 09:38:13

When I have numlock on and hold control to be able to press one of the mouse buttons over the dockapp, the control button is ignored and the action that is normal of clicking it without control occurs. I don't know why it is caused, and I'm going to look into it more.
RE: Cannot switch clock modes when numlock is on
posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2004-02-14 09:52:55

Numlock is a modifier. From years it have been recommanded not to use it.
I'll make a change to fix that.

middle click creates an empty space
posted by GeO (anonymous) - 2004-04-20 16:27:42

This dockapp is a great work, congrats Thomas...
However I have a small problem : when middle clicking i get a new empty space in the slit for dockapps, as if there was a new dockapp launched... I have to restart the wm to get rid of that empty space. Has someone undergone that ? I first though it was a wm bug, but the -bw option is no use and i can see this behaviour in several wm ! Thanks for any help
PS other clicks and ctrl + middle click work fine...
Re: middle click creates an empty space
posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2004-04-21 02:49:56

This is the 1st time someone tell me that sort of things happens... What is your wm ?
Buttons 2 (middle) is for changing the style.
In that order it looks in the installation directory for theme-files and load them in turn. Maybe you have a bad theme definition.
Look at what theme produce this behavior : here none of them do that.
Is there any error message ?
Re: middle click creates an empty space
posted by GeO (anonymous) - 2004-04-26 17:26:38

my wm is waimea, but i had the same behavior with blackbox and pekwm... I precise that when using the button 2 the style is actually changing (but with creating this empty space)
And it happens whatever the theme is (i'm using default themes) with no error message at all...

something do not work
posted by Dormouse (anonymous) - 2004-05-03 10:10:29

My wm is fvwm 2.5.10.
I dock wmclock in FvwmBarButtons like this:
====================
*BarButtons: (1x2, Title "wmclockmon", Swallow "wmclockmon" "Exec exec wmclockmon -w -sc")
=======================
But if without "-w" ,when I click the application nothing happen and the number of second do not change.it seems do not work,only a still pic.
Another problem is the month and week text do not show.I only can see the day text.For example in the first screenshot of this page, only text "07" show to me ,and "SAM","SEP" do not show on the bottom window.
How can I do?And hope your help.
ps:I think Chronograph and countdown timer ability is very useful.These two ability is apply by "WMTimer".I do not need to dock both wmclockmon and wmtimer.

use of MessageCmd
posted by david (anonymous) - 2004-12-13 07:31:59

Hi Thomas, great app. I have been using this for years (just upgraded to version 0.8.0), but one thing I never got my head around was using MessageCmd. I can use Command to make a noise with:
Command = play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Notify.wav
but am not sure how to construct the MessageCmd option. I want to call a program and pass the text from the alarm (if I understand it correctly this is how you intended it to be used). E.g.:
zenity --info --text=

I have tried:

zenity --info --text=
zenity --info --text=%s

I'm sure it is easy and I'd be grateful for a quick example.

Thanks. Dave.
use of MessageCmd: doh!
posted by david (anonymous) - 2004-12-13 11:18:40

Responding to my own question above about how to use MessageCmd. Just create a shell script, such as:

# quickmsg.sh
zenity --info --text="$1"

and then in the wmclockmon config file:

MessageCmd = sh quickmsg.sh

Simple really. Not sure why I got stuck before. Must be something to do with the weather.

posted by rezbipul (logged user) - 2005-12-14 21:41:57

while attempting to run the application the following error message is shown:


Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocl specified

wmclockmon: could not open display :0.0!
