Re: Fwd: gnome applet w/ bash

Oh dear,

#include <sys/utsname.h>

        struct utsname name;
        uname(&name);
        printf("%s\n", name.sysname);
        printf("%s\n", name.nodename);
        printf("%s\n", name.release);
        printf("%s\n", name.version);
        printf("%s\n", name.machine);

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Matteo,

I'm not following.  What box?  A GtkBox?  What "row"?


they are just examples


Have you thought of using Glade to do your UI work?


the fact is that i've started working with gtk two days ago because i
was interested in make a gnome panel monitor, and in the tutorial i've
found, i create a panel with the bonobo inititialization..
i dont know if i can do this even with glade..

Talking about the spawn, i think the problem is due to the command
itself (uname) that at the end print a "\n"; So i gotta throw away that
char from the string to obtaine a one line label, isn't it?

ok ok that worked, but the output is the same as before...

just try to create a box with two labels inside:

one createt with label = gtk_label_new ("foo");
and the other created with label = gtk_label_new (std_output);

i got the foo one middle aligned and the second placed on the top of the
row.. am i wrong?

Your pseudo makes no sense, how can you pass a char * into parameter 2
of g_spawn_command_line_sync() when its a gchar**.  This worked for
me,


      gchar* std_output = NULL;
      g_spawn_command_line_sync("ls -al", &std_output, NULL, NULL, NULL);
      printf(std_output);

Thanks,

Tnx i think that the first one is the function i'm in need of; by the
way i cant' make it work, and my gnome panel crashs everytime i run the
applet, so i think there is some problems with memory:
well, i've got:
const char* data (as argoment of a function)
char *std_out (created in the function)

g_spawn_command_line_sync(data, std_out, NULL, NULL, NULL);

is this call right? i think not...but why??

tnx again

Hi Matteo,

There's a few ways to do this, two of which I'll tell you now.
Hopefully, you can change your application to use these functions
instead.

Firstly, there's the g_spawn_ set of APIs designed for this.  I think
that something like g_spawn_command_line_sync() will do exactly what
you want.  Basically, GLib calculates and allocates the space
required.  The documentation mentions nothing about freeing the
allocated strings afterwards but I imagine you will have to free the
standard_output and standard_error parameters with g_free().

Secondly, if the spawned program is meant to run asynchronously in the
background then you'll need to use something like
g_spawn_async_with_pipes().  I don't think that this is what you want
because you were talking about having to allocate the length of the
output.

Thanks,

Michael

thank you very much, that solved one of my problems.
here is the second:
i'm using a pipe to catch the output of a specific command and store it
as a label in the panel; the problem is that if the array containing the
output is smaller than the output itself, the line is cut, and the
applet is show all middle aligned; if the output is bigger, i get the
label splitted in two lines: the first one containing the entire output,
and the second one is empty.
How could i solve this? maybe with dynamic allocation of memory, but in
order to know the output width size, i gotta insert a while that
overload the applet isn't it?
tnx in advance for the help

Hi Matteo,

Look at g_timeout_add() or the new gdk_threads_add_timeout().

hi all
i'm a complete newbie in developing with gtk, but yesterday i had an
idea about develope a gnome panel which could substitute conky..
In fact i'm in need of a panel that simply display the output of a bash
script..
well, after have googled a bit, i found a guide for implementing gnome
applet and here is the result

#include <string.h>
#include <panel-applet.h>
#include <gtk/gtklabel.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static gboolean on_button_press (GtkWidget *event_box, GdkEventButton
*event, GtkWidget* label){
        if (event->button != 1)
                return FALSE;
        else {
                FILE* fp;
                char line[160];
                fp = popen("~/scripts/allin1", "r");
                fgets( line, sizeof line, fp);
                pclose(fp);
                gtk_label_set_text (label,(const char*) line);
        }
        return TRUE;
}

static gboolean my_applet_fill (PanelApplet *applet, const gchar *iid,
gpointer data){
        FILE* fp;
        int pid;
        char line[160];
        GtkWidget *label;

        fp = popen("~/scripts/allin1", "r");
        fgets( line, sizeof line, fp);
        pclose(fp);

        label = gtk_label_new (line);
        gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (applet), label);

        g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(applet), "button_press_event", G_CALLBACK
(on_button_press), label);

        gtk_widget_show_all (GTK_WIDGET (applet));


        return TRUE;
}

PANEL_APPLET_BONOBO_FACTORY ("OAFIID:my_applet_Factory",
PANEL_TYPE_APPLET, "Conky Porting", "0", my_applet_fill, NULL);

what i'm asking for is how could i refresh the label of the applet after
a fixed period of time... (now the applets refresh when mouse-clicked)
tnx in advance
