Wonky's questions

Well, I was managing my wifi connections using wicd-gtk when I read the first option, it said something like "wired network" and a checkbox "use as default profile" and so on (not sure if its accurate, my os is in spanish). This option was checked and there was a dropdown with all the "profiles" (it was just 1 profile).

So seing that my laptop has neither ethernet adaptor nor wired connection I thought it was pointless and I deleted the profile.

To my surprise I broke all network connectivity in my laptop and can't get it back to work. I'm on the phone so its kinda hard to paste code. So far all I've tried is editing /etc/network/interfaces adding the lines auto wlp1s0 iface wlp1s0 inet dhcp and it looks like nothing's wrong there (when I first opened the file it just had auto lo iface lo inet dhcp). Also tried restarting network-manager and networking and it tries to connect but fails. When I run ifdown & ifup on wlp1s0 (my wifi adapter) it says no DHCPOFFERS received after 24 DHCPDISCOVER on wlp1s0. I want to avoid reinstalling the os (Ubuntu 18.04 lts) but I think I completely broke it and will have to do it eventually if I want to use wifi again...

I don't know where to look, and what config file to look for, it seems I deleted a profile and I don't know how to restore it. Thank you in advance!

Edit:

I think I might have a clue: when I use nmcli this is the output: It says wlp1s0 not available, not sure if it is because I reverted the changes on etc/network/interfaces to what I found when I first opened it. And if I run nmcli decice show wlp1s0 | grep IP4.DNS it doesn't give any output.

Edit2:

Reverted all to a state where nmcli recognizes the iface but it fails to connect.

The last picture says: "failed connection. Network connection activation failed" or something like that.

I've been trying to execute vim with alacritty as default. I have alacritty set as my default terminal emulator already, and in my vim.desktop I changed exec=vim %F with exec=alacritty -e vim %F. The problem is that when I open a file it first executes the command in gnome terminal and then launches vim in alacritty, the thing is that the gnome terminal stays open. I have also tried creating an script:

#!/bin/bash
alacritty -e vim & disown | exit

this does not work at all. I don't know what else to do and I cant find anything online. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to change the default terminal that runs the Exec= command? so that just by writing Exec=vim %F would run it in alacritty

Hello I've been using this:

curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568&units=metric" -o ~/.cache/weather.json

to write a weather.json file in my cache folder. the output is this. the problem is that it's only in 1 line and I'm trying to use grep to get an output of the icon value of today:

{"cod":"200","message":0,"cnt":40,"list":[{"dt":1574629200,"main":{"temp":12.8,"temp_min":12.8,"temp_max":13.07,"pressure":1020,"sea_level":1020,"grnd_level":1012,"humidity":82,"temp_kf":-0.27},"weather":[{"id":804,"main":"Clouds","description":"overcast clouds","icon":"04n"}]

which in this case is "04n" so I can use something like this:

~/.weather-icons/$(grep "icon" ~/.cache/weather.json).png

that would output ~/.weather-icons/04n.png so I can use the icon from my folder with the same name as the icon value to display in conky using $image. My question is how can i get this done? I don't know if there is a better command to read a file.json using the parameters shown here or if there is a way I can use grep to just output the icon value. Thanks

I've been strugling to get conky to show the weather, I just installed it and found out that yahoo discontinued the api url which was the one the conky theme was using (http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=1103816&u=c), I've tried changing the url to accuweather and openweather ones and nothing. I just don't understand how this works at all and I have no clue how to get it to work properly, here's the code:

##Weather
${image .jelly-weather-icons/conky_icons/circle2.png -s 190x190}
${texeci 1300 curl -s "http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}#\&locCode\=$LOCCOD" -o #~/.cache/weather.xml}
${voffset -110}${offset 425}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=20}${execi 1300 grep #"yweather:condition" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "temp=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | #grep -o "[^\"]*"}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=8}${voffset -16}o${voffset 14}${font}#${color1}
${execi 1300 cp -f .weather-icons/$(grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o #"code=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*").png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image #~/.cache/weather.png -p 425,23 -s 35x35}
${offset 420}${voffset -105}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:size=14} Sevilla

btw I found nothing on the internet that could help me out... thanks in advance :)

Edit1: Here is the api that the conky theme saves in the cache/weather.xml http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568 I'm slowly understanding how it works

Edit2: This is how the code looks now, I noticed I mistyped some # trying to comment the whole weather part. I just don't understand how conky reads xml (I don't know how to read xml myself but I suppose I can solve that with a few guides of xml :P)

##Weather
${image .jelly-weather-icons/conky_icons/circle2.png -s 190x190}
${texeci 1300 curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568&units=metric" -o ~/.cache/weather.xml}
${voffset -110}${offset 425}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=20}${execi 1300 grep "weather:description" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "temp=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*"}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=8}${voffset -16}o${voffset 14}${font}${color1}
${execi 1300 cp -f .weather-icons/$(grep "yweather:condition" ~/.cache/weather.xml | grep -o "code=\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "\"[^\"]*\"" | grep -o "[^\"]*").png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p 425,23 -s 35x35}
${offset 420}${voffset -105}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:size=14} Sevilla

Edit3: So I finally got it working thanks to @WinEunuuchs2Unix and @steeldriver , this is how the code finally looks for anyone who wants to use it in their conky code:

##Weather

${voffset -80}${offset 435}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=20}${execi 1300 curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568&units=metric" | jq -r '.list[0].main.temp' | awk '{printf("%.0f\n", $1)}'}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=8}${voffset -16}o${voffset 24}${font}${color1}
${execi 1300 cp -f .iconos/$(curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568&units=metric" | jq -r '.list[0].weather[].icon').png ~/.cache/weather.png}${image ~/.cache/weather.png -p 425,20 -s 60x60}
${offset 420}${voffset -115}${font ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro:bold:size=14} Sevilla

Basically what it does is read a json from the openweather url using curl, and with jq search for the values of .list[0].weather[].icon and .list[0].main.temp as for the temperature it outputs a value with 2 decimal digits which I cut out for personal preferences using awk '{printf("%.0f\n", $1)}' the rest of the code is just conky's way to understand where you want it and how you want it. If you want to use it for yourself just change Sevilla for your city, and change curl -s "...your location api url..." note that if you use a different site for your api url you will have to change jq to fit the new json data. Also note that you will have to create a folder with all the icons from this icon list or use your own icons but remember to use the same naming (01d.png, 02d.png, ...) and also don't forget to edit this ${execi 1300 cp -f .iconos/$(curl -s "http:/... and replace .iconos/ with the directory of your folder.
