yawn failing about lain HOT 8 CLOSED

This code works for me. Did you try to restart awesome (Mod + Ctrl + r)? You do not have internet connection immediately after boot, so you might have to restart the window manager at certain times.

from lain.

This code works for me too.

Paste the output of

curl --connect-timeout 1 -fsm 1 'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=c&w=12752509'

from lain.

curl --connect-timeout 1 -fsm 1 'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=c&w=12752509'

produces nothing!

yup I restart awesome when debugging these widget, pointless rebooting ;)

from lain.

if I re-run that command but increase the timeout to above 5 then I get some output BUT when I increase the timeout within init.lua for yawn then I still see N/A
(yes I restarted awesome!)

from lain.

Since the output is an empty string, yawn interprets it as a bad connectivity or no network issue.

Then this might not be a lain bug.

Try:

curl --connect-timeout 3 -fsm 3 'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=c&w=12752509'

from lain.

Also, opening http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=c&w=12752509 in a browser does show the feed for Pretoria, right?

from lain.

yup that link has always worked, I used to use it in conky which is how I knew my code ;)
but

IT WORKS :)

must have been a timeout due to my being connected to a pfsense router using a usb 3g dongle for internet!

[SOLVED]

Ok, so this was definetly not a bug.

FYI, this is not a forum, instead of editing posts with [SOLVED] tag, you have to close the issue.
