SuperKaramba Theme for Slackware
 
Hola Slackers!

I just finished working on a SuperKaramba theme for my box and figured I'd share it with other Slackers.

Slackware Info Monitor is just a simple basic monitor with a touch of Slackware added to it. It includes info about your system, time, date, CPU usage, memory usage, internal/external IP addresses for eth0, and partition use.

You can tweak and customize this your self, all the info you need to do so is here:

http://karamba.sourceforge.net/?a=docs

The size of this theme is 240 X 660, no background image at all.

Hope you fellow Slackers enjoy, maybe I'll make some more now that I know it's not difficult to do.

Hey, thanks SqdnGuns!

I just adapted an old superkaramba.SlackBuild from Alien BOB; then
d/led superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz, your 79238-slackware_info_monitor.tar.gz,
and built and installed a Slackware package on my test box. It looks nice!

There are items that will take reconfiguring, but I really like it. I've
wanted a SuperKaramba monitor for a while, and this is the first one that
has been as simple, but complete, for my tastes.

The invisible theme is what I like best ... use it with GKrellM, also.

Great, glad that you like it. As you can tell, I like to keep it simple and clean.

Updated to include theme for Slackware 12.1

I meant to thank you for the theme earlier but forgot. It's the first time I've actually enjoyed having a monitor sitting on my desktop (or anywhere else), and I've customized it to monitor the CPU temperature of both cores and even added a section to display the song I'm listening to in Amarok, along with the cover image. Very nice stuff -- thanks again.

I appreciate the compliment!

I wanted to do this one because everything that I have seen are to "busy"...and or a drain on resources...simple and clean, that's the way I like it.

I think I may add CPU temp for both cores as well, just been kinda lazy lately.

It looks a lot like conky but seems to have better invisibility on the background, and it has the slackware logo. gonna try it out and i may end up switching.

Just uploaded v2.0 of this theme, you can find it here:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=80971

If anyone knows how I can get the temp for each core to use in this theme, please let me know.

I made a separate request in this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ensors-641529/

For the time being, I am using the following for the core temps:

Code:
sensor=program program="cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2}'" line=1 interval=3000
Enjoy and feel free to make some recommendations.

T3slider 05-13-2008 01:50 PM
SqdnGuns, I'm just using the output of the program `sensors`, which is configured to give me the temperature of each core of my AMD Athlon X2 CPU. Depending on your hardware, `sensors` can also give the temperature, (fan speed?) etc. of other hardware as well.

Yeah, I can see all the info from the "sensors" command but I have no idea what the command should be for the theme. Below is what I am using............

Code:
sensor=program program="cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2}'" line=1 interval=3000
I have been reading and searching but I have either overlooked it or my brain is failing to absorb it, more like the latter of the two.

Here is my "sensor" output:

Code:
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
            +41°C
Core1 Temp:
            +38°C

it8716-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore:    +1.10 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
VDDR:      +2.48 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
+3.3V:    +1.78 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
+5V:      +5.59 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +6.85 V)
+12V:    +11.97 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
in5:      +1.17 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
in6:      +2.86 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
5VSB:      +4.89 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +5.13 V)
VBat:      +3.06 V
fan1:    1454 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan2:    1102 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
temp1:      +35°C  (low  =  +127°C, high =  +65°C)  sensor = diode
temp2:      +39°C  (low  =  +127°C, high =  +127°C)  sensor = thermistor
temp3:      +25°C  (low  =  +127°C, high =  +127°C)  sensor = thermistor
vid:      +1.525 V
Oi, I have headache.

That's a really nice-looking theme SqdnGuns. Thank you!

T3slider 05-13-2008 04:05 PM
SqdnGuns, that's an interesting parsing problem. Mine is simple because only my CPU is being monitored and nothing else, so I just grep for °C. You'd have to come up with some interesting way of parsing that if you want to make it useful -- plus it would differ for everyone, especially if they have a different CPU (single core, quad core, intel, AMD, ...). It's really messy, so I can't really provide any consistent way to add the feature -- I just know that I figured out a way that works for me.

brianL 05-13-2008 06:27 PM
Yeah, it looks good. Neater and more useful than some of the stuff some people litter their desktops with.

Thanks, I'll see what I can figure out.........best way to learn!!

Glad that you like it. Are you talking about both versions I have done?
