I saw that it's possible to use stock screenlet to show an exchange rate:[URL].. but I wasn't able to find out how to do that...I know that for let's say Google, you have to type GOOG (Nasdaq index) in the preferences, but there's no such index for exchange rate e.g. EUR-GBP.
View 5 RepliesI upgrading to natty 11.04 and lost all my gnome applets. Is there any good stock programs that work with natty and unity? I liked the invest applet on top bar in maverick 10.10. A standalone program to track stocks would be good also if no applet option is available.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was following the online instructions to install screenlets and all is fine and the manager appears as well. In compiz the widget layer is active etc. Once widget layer is activated it shows an empty blank dark screen, widgets are not running. The widgets/scripts do not show up, neither on desktop nor on the widget layer.
Running the py script from terminal showing following output:

How can I make my own screen-let?
all I want it to do is be a picture of an Orb like the windows 7 one but without the logo which I can place over the start icon. I just can't figure out how to make it, all I know is that you need to compress the file to a Tar.gz file.
I'm using Screenlets in ubuntu 10.04 and I have a problem with screenlets behavior. I played around with it a little while and I guess I messes something, because now whenever I log in some screenlets load twice and I have to clean them manually. Where can I view the config for each individual screenlet?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe text of my cairo-clock screenlet is clipped - only a pixel or two on the top, but more on the bottom (see attached screenshot). Is there a way to fix this? (Also, does anyone know how to format the clock differently? I would like a single line with the format like "13:59 31/01/2010" ...)

What coding system is this? How / where do I find the corresponding code for a Canadian city? It's obvious that the "ZIP" field does not use the US Postal coding system.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm a business student and we have a stock ticker in the atrium of our building that was being run off of an old 386 computer that bit the dust. Unfortunately, the individuals who wrote the program that updates the ticker (with selected stocks only, from a student run portfolio) are long gone.
Basically, I'm looking for way to display certain stock quotes updated every few minutes on a real-life ticker (green lettering, scrolling side to side) with selected stocks, including the changes in stock price (arrows as well).
I've looked into programs like SMTM, but I'm not quite finding what I need. I don't have much scripting knowledge but I figured this could be done relatively easily, perhaps with GREP?

View 5 Replies View RelatedLooking for suggestions on what tools to use. I'm a finance major with limited programming knowledge. I would like to start collecting my own stock data. I would like to pull data from google finance or something similar. Also, I subscribe to data from AAII, American Asso. of Individual Investors, and would like to add that data into the database. and be able to have a nice gui to run queries on. My interests are finding if there are various different arbitrage opportunities and fundamental value investments.
Very low budget. Want to run it on ubuntu. I was looking at Postgre SQL as the database, but really have no idea what is optimal. Not to sure on the gui or how to pull the data. If anyone is interested in the topic and would like to help me set up and run algorithms let me know too.
I am a newbie. I need a good free stock program (or non free if no free are available). For reading stock information real time and has to have bells and whistles. I dont want another widget im looking for a fully featured program but the problem with googling this is that all the hits I get are either old or link me to some marketing crap for windows. I understand that red hat runs lots of stock market stuff so fedora must have something available.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using ubuntu 8.04 right now but I'd like to install ubuntu 10.10 or ubuntuStudio. Well I did it for trying as a dual boot just to see if it works. But I have files to back up. I tried to have them on dvds or usb but it takes time. I want to know if I can create a new partition where to stock my files and then erase the rest to install ubuntu 10.10.
When I am in gparted I see:
/dev/sda 111.79GB:
/dev/sda1 ext3 107GB
/dev/sda2 extended 4.58GB -> I cant use it
/dev/sda5 ext3 4.3GB
/dev/sdb fat32 15GB -> I think its my ubuntustudio
Is there any chance to create a new partition (40GB) to stock my files?
So I know Linux has iptables, I'm rather new to linux, and I'm wondering, are the stock settings with Ubuntu/Kubuntu safe? Is there anything I need to do make them more secure? I tried adding rules myself for some things but ended up just not being able to do anything so I had to reset back to stock with iptables -F. Should I be safe running as-is?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had some major bugs with KDE 4.3 and 4.4 and the only way that I could fix them was to install the entire KDE 4.5. This was mid-Summer. Now I would like to upgrade to Maverick the proper way and have 4.5 in a stock repo.
I managed to get most of kde back to stock by luck and uninstall/reinstalling kdebase stuff and kubuntu-desktop a couple of times. A pain in the neck trying to find important packages that are already installed from a previous PPA.
BTW my sources.list is stock right now.
Does anyone know of a way to search for installed PPA packages that are not in the stock repository?

Is it possible to upgrade from stock version 2.3 to current 2.32 using YAST? I can see 2.32 when using a browser to look at the repository, but when I enter the repository as a software source in YAST, it does not show up in YAST. What steps am I missing? Can I use YAST, or should I just download the RPMs and go from there by hand?

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.
Now the question is:
1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?
I need to do some text file manipulation which I think should be done with standard commands in BASH. I'm looking at comma seperated text files (stock market data). It comes in the form of date, stock code, open, high, low, close, volume. What I need to do first is move all data with same stock code sequentially into individual files.
While doing this since the stock code will now be the file name I need to remove the stock code. Next I need to filter out overlapping data from different files with the same date. ie. where two files contain the same date on the one line only one line will be added to the combined file. I think there must be a tutorial out there for basic text manipulation like this, I just haven't found it yet.
Anyway since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 when I right-click on something and there is another menu in that menu, it doesn't show up for the first time!
for example if I want to create a an "Empty File", I'll right-click on desktop and when I want to go to "Create Document" menu, it doesn't show up! so I must click somewhere else and try again so for the second time it works!!
