Ubuntu 10.10 - AMD 64 - CD 2.3.0 ORC2 - OpenGL - Nvidia GT220 -
I have an unusual problem with a simple Doncky applet that displays the current time.The time display just freezes (stops keeping time).It may work for an hour or quit right after boot. I've tried the uptime command as per the instructions and also tried using a simple system date command with the same results.Nothing else seems to be affected and the clock app with CD works fine.
I've tried it with and without open GL.
I'm not seeing any system errors in the logs or unusual CPU usage.
Heres the code.
<doncky>
<!-- Time -->
<font>Terminal Bitstream Vera Sans Italic Bold 10</font>
<br>4</br>
<color>255;255;255;255</color>
<alignW>center</alignW>
<cmd>
<echo>$(date +%I:%M:%S)</echo>
<refresh>1</refresh>
</cmd>
</doncky> |

Can you try this :
<doncky>
<br>4</br>
<!-- Time -->
<alignW>center</alignW>
<font>Terminal Bitstream Vera Sans Italic Bold 10</font>
<color>255;255;255;255</color>
<cmd>
<echo>`uptime | cut -d" " -f2`</echo>
<refresh>1</refresh>
</cmd>
</doncky> |

I'll try it again EXACTLY as posted but as I stated above I've already tried the uptime command with the same results.It's somehow related to the refresh<1> and the time function. If I drop the seconds and refresh every 60 sec it seems to solve (so far) the problem. Wish I could be of more help and thanks. BTW I'm running the CPU usage,Ram and Nvidia temp in applets at the same time. with no problem. |

Well, it's really strange because I use this command (exactly as specify) and I don't have any problem with it ....
for example, it's running for more than 3 hours without any problem in this screenshot : (and 2 times !!! ... the second desklet in blue is just a try )
... did you try the exact command I've posted ??
PS: By the way, I'm looking for a designer to do something like the blue doncky instance .... with the same shape, but with this kind of look :

OK the problems not in the <echo> uptime or <echo> date cmd but in the placement of the linefeed,alignment,font and color statements.I ran the command EXACTLY as posted with the uptime statement - all works fine - I replaced uptime with the system date function - all works fine .
P.S. Unless I'm missing something the xml code I used should work fine. |

@nochka: can you add a refresh button as workaround? Just like switcher... |
