This is my script for displaying fortunes with Billboard, requires fortune-mod and fortunes packages from rzr

rzr repository on OpenRepos

Any comments and improvements welcome

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import subprocess
from textwrap import wrap

text = subprocess.Popen(["/usr/games/fortune", "-s"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
width = 28

wrapped = wrap(text,width)

for line in wrapped:
        print line

I did a search here but did not find solution so apologies if this has been covered in the past.

How to change the color of all the calendar events that Billboard displays?

With a line {{red}}{events} the first printed event is red, but if there's more than one event, all the rest will be printed in standard color. Like this (if my standard color would be black):

+1 Go see Mom
+2 Office party

It doesn't help if I put more color lines there, like
{{red}}{events}{{red}}
{{red}}

It still changes the color on only the first event. Is there a way to color all the events that are displayed?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
I dont know better solution but have you tried set default color to red and set everything else black with {{black}}?

Hmmm... Well THAT would be thinking outside the box. Didn't think it like that.

But that would solve it, yes.

Why this N/A on lockscreen?

Mikkosssss 2013-09-21 16:10

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
Its because value is in wrong form. (two numbers)
Maybe you can make your own script that knows what to do with two numbers.

Billboard 1.1.0 has been uploaded to Nokia Store QA. Once it's approved, you'll get the following features / improvements after installing the update:
  • Configuration utility can now insert <<>>, {} and {{}}
  • Only limit embedded image size when dithering is enabled
  • Other logos and dithered images can now be up to 200x120 in size
  • i18n Support in QML configuration utility
  • New translations: bg, da, de, en, hi, nl, pt, zh (thanks to the Billboard Community Translations project)

Hi!

I'd like to use the battery_tiered.sh script from the user scripts github page, but display the small battery (like in status bar) in the according colour.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

What do you mean exactly? What worked before what doesn't work right now? Can you post the contents of you Billboard configuration + a screenshot of how it looks? Thanks :)

your update replaced or wrote to /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia/style/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css and thus wiped peoples customizations in that file.

for me, clock size was put back to small, light font.
my custom number of icons was changed from 10 to default 5
also custom number of banners on lock screen was reset
clock on lock screen was reset to small, light font
status bar on lock screen reverted to showing on lock screen
custom spacing immediately below clock changed from my 1mm spacing that then slides down to accommodate any notification icons.
some sort of additional space was created under clock, that look bigger than even the default 6mm for some reason.

included some screenies (doesnt look radical change, as a few of the 'changes' arent in use on those images, but think have mentioned them)

anyway, managed to edit it back from memory, so i am good now, but maybe future (if any) updates can back up any css files that they silently change.

Does anyone of you brilliant guys know why caldav-synced calendar posts show as 2 hours earlier on BB than in calendar? Caldav sync with owncloud works ok and post show correctly in calendar and in feeds with organiser feeds.

Quaddy 2013-10-16 11:22

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
@masen, not sure, only sometimes does a calendar entry show up as an hour earlier on BB for me, but not all, its very random and infrequent for me seemingly, and maybe related to the script used to generate entries via BB and not BB itself, puzzling when it happens though.

For me at least the latest version work perfectly :)
Finally it show my operator logo like it should show (full size)..

Type in Billboard

Code:

{script:/home/user/whatsup-status.sh}

Edit: Maybe it's needed to

Code:

chmod +x /home/user/whatsup-status.sh
first.

Re:Script problem
 
Hello
I am new to the N9. Installed the Billboard app and appears to work fine.
I tried to install one of the scripts - PSM.State
I got it from here: https://github.com/harmattan/billboard-scripts
I followed the instructions to install python. That appeared to go fine.
I copied the PSM State contents into a file called PSM.py and placed it into:
/home/user/MyDocs/Documents/Billboard/PSM.py

I entered {script:/home/user/MyDocs/Documents/Billboard/PSM.py}
into the config window. It appears to do nothing.

Is there something else I should do?
Thanks

Edit: Tried to run PSM.py using terminal by:
python /home/user/MyDocs/Documents/Billboard/PSM.py

Got Import error (line 5 QmSystem - ImportError No module named QmSystem.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
Fhutt,

Don't place scripts in ~/MyDocs as it's a vfat partition on which permissions don't work so place them in /home/user/ and chmod +x the script for it to work...

fhutt 2013-10-24 01:50

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
Thank you for that. I've done it.
Changed the location in Billboard. The same problem.
Also running the PSM.py in terminal, I still get the same Invalid module (QmSystem) error.

thedead1440 2013-10-24 02:07

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
I think you need python-qmsystem or something similar installed for it to work...

fhutt 2013-10-24 02:53

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
The source of the PSM State script says nothing about this, just to install python with python-dbus. I've done that. seemed to install ok.

Eztran 2013-10-24 07:23

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
You definitely need the python-qmsystem package installed for the PSM script.

fhutt 2013-10-24 08:58

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
I tried to install with:
apt-get install python-qmsystem
in terminal as rootme. It looked like it got installed.
Tried the scrip and it worked in terminal, so tried in Billboard and also worked.
Then I tried the Bluetooth.py script. In terminal it works fine. But in Billboard it doesn't.
Where can I look for this problem?
Thanks

fhutt 2013-10-24 22:31

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
I think this Billboard is fantastic especially for the standard options that are provided by the configuration screen.

I do have 3 problems still:
1) I am unable to install the Bluetooth_status_icon.py or the Bluetooth_status_icon.sh scripts. They seem to work in terminal but not in Billboard. Like the PSM State script needed an extra installation (QmSystem to python), maybe the Bluetooth script also needs something?

2) I would like to remove other logo from configuration as shown in http://thp.io/2012/billboard/ with:
gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/other_logo ''
but I cannot find the folder /apps/billboard or where Billboard is installed.

3) I would like to increase the size of the text of one line only. I know how to change the colour of a line but not the size.

Thanks

For both of these scripts, the "python-dbus" package should be sufficient:

https://github.com/harmattan/billboa...ooth_status.py
https://github.com/harmattan/billboa...status_icon.py

If it doesn't work, try prefixing it with "python", as in:

Code:

{script:python /home/user/bluetooth_status.py}

You have to execute that line as-is in the Terminal app or via ssh. The folder "/apps/billboard" isn't a folder in the filesystem (well, gconf data is store somewhere, but you shouldn't need to care about that), but rather a configuration key in GConf.

You can also disable showing the other logo in the Billboard configuration app, but obviously that will only hide the other logo while Billboard is enabled/running.

Yes, that's not possible at the moment. Might come in a future release.

fhutt 2013-10-24 23:29

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
Thank you for those suggestions.
1) The python prefix fixed the Bluetooth script.
2) I should have tried to enter gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/other_logo '' in terminal, but I was confused by the folder entry, so I didn't. But it worked.
3) It would be great to be able to change the text size of a line. Looking forward to the next version.

This Billboard is so good that I would like to suggest an addition. A signal strength logo or bar would be great. Even better, a status line similar to the status bar at the top of the home screen would be even better.
Just a wish for a future update.
Thank you very much.

I actually thought of another wish (fairly important).

A flight mode indicator.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
First of all, thanks for this great piece of software. I'm having trouble with scripts though...

Here's the script (network.sh):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

mode=$(develsh -c "qdbus --system com.nokia.csd.CSNet /com/nokia/csd/csnet com.nokia.csd.CSNet.RadioAccess.Technology")
if [[ $mode -e GSM ]]
then print "{{white}}2G"
fi
if [[ $mode -e UMTS ]]
then print "{{white}}3G"
fi

And this is what I enter in bb:

Code:

{script:/home/user/MyDocs/network.sh}
but nothing shows up... What am I missing?

Mikkosssss 2013-10-26 12:46

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
Dont put your scripts to MyDocs they wont work.
And you need to chmod script first so it works:
Code:

chmod +x /patch/to/script.sh
