Zenity progress do not show progress and download speed

[david_kt]

Binary package hint: zenity

I am piping a download progress using below script:

wget -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" http://www.tartet.com/target_file 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | zenity --progress --auto-close --title="Downloading File..."

It works on Dapper and Hardy, but not on Intrepid. I have tried to downgrade from zenity 2.24.0 to zenity 2.22.1 (which is used in Hardy, I installed Hardy deb package on intrepid). As for the dependency, it removed rarian-compat and ubuntu-desktop meta package and installed scrollkeeper.

But it is still the same problem. Or maybe other packages in Intrepid or Gnome that cause this problem ?

The sed doesn't seem to do anything here. Have you checked that it's not the new wget version which changed the output format and broke your script?

Siegfried,
Thank you for your feedback and you are right. After I downgrade to wget 1.10.2, it works. So I edited the script as follow:

wget -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" http://www.tartet.com/target_file 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ /\1\n# Downloading /' | zenity --progress --auto-close --title="Downloading File..."

The new script works with both wget 1.10.2 and the new one (wget 1.11.4).
Closing this bug.
