I have a somewhat silly question, but I haven’t found an obvious answer.
I used to have the XFCE Weather applet in my panel to be able to check the weather. However, in QubesOS the GUI is not connected to the network, so I cannot have an updated weather status in the panel.
Do you have any recommendations for a program I could somehow use to get a weather widget somewhere in my desktop?
Conky, but:
for 1 - you need to learn lua and configure Conky in lua
for 2 - you need to find how to send data from sys-firewall to dom0 and to periodically check wheater in sys-firewall
or how to use proxy in dom0 to connect to wheater service
You can run ‘curl’ command in disposable and receive it’s output by ‘qvm-run’ in dom0. If wheather service can be accessed by ‘curl’ then that would work.
I will be by my qubeslap at February then will check it out and do some conky config for that.
But without icons.
Conky 1.19.1-1.19.7 have bug in imlb2 integration, and Conky 1.19.8 is available not earlier than in Fedora 40 - not a chance to have it now in dom0.
