BGINFO4X - BGINFO for X and for Windows! / Forums / MacOSx Family Questions : Info position

JonnyTech - 2014-01-10

Can one specify the position of the info text?
The text starts too low and is cut off screen.
Can't find a suitable option in the scripts.
Running v3.2.4 on OSX. Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, check for the following variables in IMMODE.CONF:

BGWALLPAPER_XOFFSET
BGWALLPAPER_YOFFSET

Or a more general option like: BGWALLPAPER_GRAVITY

Find more info here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/bginfo4x/wiki/Documentation/#the-bginfo4x-tunables

What version of OSX are you using?

Thanks.

Thanks! I didn't realise that the BGWALLPAPER_* settings were just for the text area. I'll try them when I next get to the machines in a few days.

I'm currently on OSX 10.8 but shall be updating to 10.9 next week, so I'll let you know how it goes.

I did struggle installing it in the first instance - working out dependencies and such, because installing MacPorts or Brew was not an option (the machines need to be mean and lean with no superfluous software - especially XCode).

It would be nice to have a complete package, or at some pointers, for standalone use.

When I reinstall, I'll try to keep a note of the steps that I take and post them.

Oh, before I forget - is it possible for BGINFO4X to generate a solid colour "corporate" wallpaper on the fly?

Ok, thanks for the information. Tell me if you have any problem with 10.9.

Yes, a MAC package would be nice. Can you help on it? I have created a .deb for ubuntu, .... but now I have no time for a MAC port ...

I think that the best option for a solid color is create a .jpg with the solid color, and force CORPORATEWALLPAPER="YES".

Regards.

I've never made a MAC package (I'm a Linux guy myself) but once I get a working solution then I'll research creating one. Any pointers?

Yes,creating a solid colour wallpaper is what I have been doing, but it would be nice if I could specify a colour to BGINFO4X and it would create one itself (using ImageMagick).

Do you know if I can combine AppleScript with ImageMagick to do this?

tell application "Finder" get bounds of window of desktop end tell

convert -size 1024x768 xc:#7f7f7f wallpaper.png

Maybe something like:

tell application "Finder" get bounds of window of desktop as {b_left, b_top, b_right, b_bottom} try tell application "System Events" do shell script "usr/local/bin/convert -size " & b_right - b_left & "x" & b_bottom -b_top & " xc:#7f7f7f " home_path_posix & "wallpaper.png" end tell on error return {-1, -1} end try end tell

Sorry, I'm not near a MAC right now...

Hello,

Yes, my pointer is to create a package with "Brew". I don't have a MAC, so I can't help you a lot, but "Brew" seams the best option instead of "MACPORTS".

After thinking about it, I don't believe that combine AppleScript to create a SOLID COLOR Wallpaper is the way to go. It is better to create SOLID COLORS inside BGINFO4X, so other platforms can use it. I'm preparing a new release with this functionality.

Your comments are welcome.

Regards.

Hello,

Next release will support SolidColors, Gradients and Plasma.
These are the main settings:

CANVAS (SOLID COLOR):
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 canvas:wheat"
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 canvas:tomato"

GRADIENT:
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 gradient:white-blue"
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 gradient:green-yellow"

PLASMA or PLASMA GRADIENT:
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 plasma: "
CORPORATESOLIDCOLOR="-size 1280x1024 plasma:yellow-red"

Be aware that Gradient and Plasma are high cpu intensive.

Find more information here: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/canvas/#solid

Regards.

Thanks - I'll test it this week and give you some feedback.
Can it autodetect desktop size rather than user specifying it?

Hello,

No, it is not. Autodetection is not possible with BGINFO4X Client. It is scheduled as a Server feature.

I'm getting a few errors (OS X 10.9 Mavericks):

These all go if I comment out this line in /OUT.CONF

Total Memory: X system_profiler -detailLevel mini | grep -i "Memory:" | awk '{print $2 $3}'

In fact, any line with "system_profiler" causes the error.

Next...

33:48: execution error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent handler failed. (-10000)

It goes if I comment out this line in CUSTOM/CONF/IMMODE.CONF

MACOSX_SET="osascript -e \"tell application \\\"Finder\\\" to set desktop picture to POSIX file \\\"${WALLPAPER}\\\"\""

But, of course, by commenting out stuff I get no on-screen info. Any suggestions?

The AppleScript works if I use a full path:

MACOSX_SET="osascript -e \"tell application \\\"Finder\\\" to set desktop picture to POSIX file \\\"/usr/local/bin/CUSTOM/IMAGES/GNOME-Happygnome_1280x1024.png\\\"\""

So there must be something wrong with ${WALLPAPER} - how can I check it?

Do you have CORPORATEWALLPER="YES" or ="NO"

Got it:

MACOSX_SET="osascript -e \"do shell script \\\"echo ${WALLPAPER} > /tmp/out.txt\\\"\""

Result:

/var/folders/2c/ffcbsv194_95q89qv5p1gt3w0000gn/T//BGINFO4X/tud/BG_tud_GNOME-Happygnome_1280x1024.png

The files do indeed reside at that location (but no text on the image) - could it be the double forward slashes in the path?

BGINFO for X and for Windows! - 2014-01-23

Hello,

1- "In fact, any line with "system_profiler" causes the error".

Probably with MAC 10.9 the way to get System Information is different than using system_profiler tool. Can you investigate how to get this info with the right tool?

2- Is CORPORATEWALLPER="YES" or ="NO"?

3- In IMMODE.CONF, try to comment the line: DRAW_HEADERFILE

4- In IMMODE.CONF, change the font in FONT_HEADERFILE, FONT_OUTFILE, FONT_ALARMFILE.

Possible values="Any Installed Font". To print a complete list use convert -list font option.

5- DEBUGALL-> Put to "ON" all the variables in DB.CONF and attach the resulting debug.log.

Thanks.

  Sorry for the delay in my reply. In order to rule out any problems with my installation, I have installed OS X again. I also installed BGINFO4X in the recommended way: install Xcode compiler tools, install Homebrew, install ImageMagick, install BGINFO4X. The problems still reamin.
  
  1 - System Profiler - the commands you use are correct, the errors are caused even if I run system_profiler from the terminal and can be ignored, correct values are returned by your script
  
  2 - CORPORATEWALLPER variable not changed from default install ie "YES"
  
  3 - Done, still no output
  
  4 - Done, changes to Times-Roman, still no output
  
  5 - I cannot work out how to do that, this is what I did:
  
  opened BIN/DB.sh
  
  changed section:
  
  DB_DB() { #Writes any passed string to $DEBUGFILE if [ "$_DEBUGDB" == "ON" ]; then setDEBUG_DB $@; fi if [ "$_DEBUGDB_SCREEN" == "ON" ]; then setDEBUGSCREEN_DB $@; fi }
  
  to:
  
  DB_DB() { #Writes any passed string to $DEBUGFILE if [ "$_DEBUGDB" != "XYZ" ]; then setDEBUG_DB $@; fi if [ "$_DEBUGDB_SCREEN" != "XYZ" ]; then setDEBUGSCREEN_DB $@; fi }
  
  then repeated for remaining sections.
  
  Then I ran ./BGINFO4X.sh again. Sometimes I got a segmentation fault 11, Otherwise here is a copy of debug.log:
  
  EDIT: LOG IN ATTACHMENT
  
  I have also attached the log files to this post.

Hello,

Try this:

1- "/bin/cat" "CUSTOM/CLIENT/MACOSX/HEADER.CONF" | "/usr/local/bin/convert" -pointsize 20 -font Times-Roman -background none -gravity NorthWest -density 120 -fill black label:@- "/tmp/BGINFO4X/root/bgheader.png"

Does it work? /tmp/BGINFO4X/root/bgheader.png is generated?

2- "/bin/cat" "CUSTOM/CLIENT/MACOSX/HEADER.CONF" | "/usr/local/bin/convert" -pointsize 20 -background none -gravity NorthWest -density 120 -fill black label:@- "/tmp/BGINFO4X/root/bgheader.png"

Does it work? /tmp/BGINFO4X/root/bgheader.png is generated?

Thanks for that - using your commands I was able to deduce the problem: GHOSTSCRIPT is required.

After installing GHOSTSCRIPT via Homebrew (brew install ghostscript) it seems to work!

I am going to reformat and reinstall then see if all is still ok.

I tried to edit the wiki (https://sourceforge.net/p/bginfo4x/wiki/BGINFO4X/#installing-bginfo4x-on-macosx) to include the amendment but I do not have access.

I'll give you an update on my progress tomorrow - with probably another set of questions now that I can see an output...

  The second line reads imagemagick rather than ghostscript:
  
  $ sudo port install imagemagick or sudo brew install imagemagick
  $ sudo port install ghostscript or sudo brew install ghostscript
  
  Thanks for your patience.

OK, BGINFO4X installs correctly now on a new install following the updated wiki! :)

First bug:

CORPORATEWALLPAPER="NO"

The wallpaper changes

The info text appears

Error message in terminal:

BIN/OF.sh: eval: line 126: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' BIN/OF.sh: eval: line 127: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Also get error setting:
