Re: Conky - update notifier in python

can someone provide the changes to display the packages horizontally instead of vertically?

Yes, I can...how a display of packages may be show?
package1, package2...or any your idea would be helpful smile

Re: Conky - update notifier in python

well just instead of a listing like:

pkg1  32MB
pkg2  2MB
pkg3  10MB

just put it horizontally:

pkg1: 32 MB -- pkg2: 2MB -- pkg3: 10MB

Maybe something wrong with Python/Pacman paths? I'll appreciate if you can point me to a fix smile

BTW, your script is great!

The problem is it's not finding the 'item' (package) in your /var/lib/pacman/sync/ directory.
can you add in this code before line 118

print item

That'll tell you what the problem package is. I'm curious to see which packages cause this problem, so we can fix it.

an easy workaround for now.
change

if not desc_path:
    desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'

to

if desc_paths:
    desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'

note that it's "desc_paths" not "desc_path"
I assume this is on line 117 for you (my version is a little bit out of sync with the one posted here)
The `if not desc_path:` is actually pointless, just never got cleaned up when changes where made to the script. (supporting different versions of pacman..etc..)
This workaround will basically ignore any package that comes up in pacman -Qu, but isn't located in /var/lib/pacman/sync/*/pkgname directory.

Again, my local version is out of sync with what's currently up right now, and the issue might be something else. Please, if you have this problem, add in the print item and show us the output. Also, once you find the problem 'item' see if it exists in your repo dir..
for example if the problem item is 'wget-1.11.3-1':

ls /var/lib/pacman/sync/*/wget-1.11.3-1

Thank you.

Re: Conky - update notifier in python

First of all, thank you very much for your answer smile

Added:

print item

just before line 118, so then code looked like this:

   if not desc_path:
            print item
            desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'

Now:

[qbe@Elisa arch-updates]\$ ./conky-updates.py 
procesará:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "conky-updates.py", line 119, in <module>
    desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'
IndexError: list index out of range

so I guess no package name is showing up. Also tried to put "print item" before the "if not desc_path" line to see if something changed but it showed up the same:

procesará:

(I'm using a spanish version and "procesará" means "Targets")

So after this first try I followed your workaround. First I deleted "print item" and then changed:

if not desc_path:
    desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'

to

if desc_paths:
    desc_path = desc_paths[0] + '/desc'

and then:

[qbe@Elisa arch-updates]\$ ./python conky-updates.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "conky-updates.py", line 120, in <module>
    pkg['repo'] = desc_path.split('/')[-3]
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'split'

I've also tried adding "print item" and changing the "if" line both together but no results.

I guess I've done things right.. hmm Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Thanks again.

p.d. Sorry for my bad english big_smile

NOTE: When Majkhii gets a chance and updates the frontpage I'll remove this.

Hope this works for you. This should work with all current/future languages. It'll only go bad whenever they decide to change the format of the pacman -Qu output.

PS: Majkhii, we need to start versioning this script. Give it a version number, this way we can keep track of changes and such.

PSS: I know I mentioned before that I wanted to clean up the script, I've been busy so never got around to it :\. Really some parts of the script could use a complete rewrite.. Who knows, maybe I'll have time this weekend to do it. Another reason I haven't done a rewrite is.. it works... so.. too lazy to 'fix' something that's not broken tongue.

Horray for stupid mistakes. It should be fixed now... hopefully, thanks for the quick feedback, sorry for the bad fixes..
Kinda rushing things and not really testing them.
But NOW, it hopefully works.
Same post as above, I edited it.

Re: Conky - update notifier in python

Ok, reading the output I solved the problem by adding '#' before the perlcpan repo in pacman.conf (I added it some months ago but completely forgot about it and now I don't need cpan anymore) and by running pacman -R rar, pacman -S unrar, pacman -R slocate, then pacman -R mlocate, deleted the 'slocate' group, and finally pacman -S mlocate again. After doing this, running pacman -Qu showed "no targets to update'. Then ran your script:

[qbe@Elisa arch-updates]\$ ./conky-updates.py       
 Up to date

And now it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much for your help and time. Your script is very useful. Keep up the good work!
