The conky-ness thread!
3 Attachment(s)
Hello all!
Since we have a new sub-forum dedicated to screenshots, I figured I would create a new thread for bad@$$ conky-based screenshots. I really admire the use of conky, as you can do so much with it. To start, I have included a few shots of my laptop with multiple instances of conky running. Cheers, Josh |

Back OT, though... Yeah, conky's cool. I swear everyone uses it, and those who don't should. Y'know, so they can be :cool: like Josh (corp769). LOL! http://conky.sourceforge.net/ |

Great shots you've got there.
I also run conky even if i limit it to only one instance and use another term to tail -f /var/log/messages Great work and keep on! |
Mine is extremely simplistic. Just a bar on top with a single line of info.
Don't really need much more on a netbook. http://ompldr.org/tYWhkeA.png |

Kinda simplistic. This Laptop (old but trusty IBM T23) has a bigger screen than my eeepc 701SD and 900 ,(I run horizontal conkys also). So I run fluxbox,conky,and tint2 on it. Kinda like a fake gnome 3 setup. Tint2 is set to autohide when not in use.

First let me say, Nice work to all here.
I really like Conky, It can be as wild or mild as you want it to be. I tend to favor the simplistic, not a lot more to it than when I first had it with DSL 2.2, even though I didn't know I could change it back then (not that I don't consider making it fancier sometimes). http://oi44.tinypic.com/290r8qt.jpg |
Entitled: Watching the Watchers!
When my machine boots up, like most people I find myself on "A DECK" (desktop 1) http://thumbnails43.imagebam.com/167...a167365343.jpg What isn't readily apparent is on "C DECK" (desktop 3) I have three other conkys that only appear there. http://thumbnails53.imagebam.com/167...e167365354.jpg So I am back to running MORE conkys. Now I'll have to find some nice ones for "B DECK" (desktop 2) A B & C Decks names are holdovers from a StarTrek conky I did a while back. Seems to fit - "What flight Deck are you on?" Since I'm usually found zooming around in my SR-11 that looks amazingly like an SR-71. |

I can never pass up the opportunity to show off my conky, so here it is.
Uses a couple of custom scripts (for example, the appointments are pulled from Google Calendar) and the slideshow is a small script to select and scale the image. I've been using this a while, though I tweak it, add to it, and remove from it often. |
I must admit that I switched to screenlets some time ago, but sill use conky for this...

I couldnt find any other conky threads here, so I'll be posting here. This is my current setup:
http://ompldr.org/taTVzYw Here is my conky config : Code:
# maintain spacing between certain elements 1 - My CPU has been listed twice. How would I change this ? 2 - I would really like a graph showing ram usage, similar to the CPU usage above(as in, something that shows the changes in ram usage over time). How would I go about doing this, preferably in the same colour ? |
WoW!!!! I forgot all about this thread .... I just updated my weather conky when I got an email about steak1987's contribution. That reminded me it's here so here's mine. :D
Weather on the left has nothing below TEXT - just uses two LUA scripts mrpeachy's v9000 weather script and draw-bg.lua (they all use that) Email Currency exchange on the bottom uses conkyEmail Conky on the right uses mounted.lua to show when External devices are plugged in and mounted. It can "all" mounted devices but since I have no need to show M|6 or M|7 (dev/sda6, dev/sda7) I just set up the external devices: and with a couple of external devices plugged in: Any code available on request ... all of it will be too much for one post. |
CAUTION: See the next post by TobiSGD before using response to Question 1.

Two Conkies, until I can get an analogue clock working and get ride of the Cairo-clock.

Some places to start http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/try-t...conky-lua.html http://thepeachyblog.blogspot.com.ar...home-page.html https://github.com/fxthomas/conky/blob/master/clock.lua You can even combine them with other things . A Chronograph with weather. http://t.imgbox.com/adhO1iWg.jpg Debian SID / OpenBox / tint2 / Compton or 4 clocks by mrpeachy: http://t.imgbox.com/aciDGW22.jpg You can use just one one, or two or three or five or .... and build a full conky under them or put them in the middle of a conky. The numbers are hours in 24 hour time, suppose I could put the date under GMT (UTC) as well :D More clocks and my calendar conky: http://t.imgbox.com/abtLMvKS.jpg If I have misunderstood that it just a work in progress ... I apologize |
I have two Conkies, because I want the calendar centred. Including it in the main Conky aligns it to the left, and the calendar is too large for my taste if big enough to match the width of the other Conky.
As for the clock. I have tried a couple analogue clocks, but have not been able to get them to display properly. I get text instead of a clock. So it could be considered a work in progress, until I figure it out. Two of your links have given me an idea. Thanks for them. Perhaps the problem is related to lua. I saw a couple things that might solve the problem. |
Simple Netbook conkyrc. Small screen real estate here (9" screen). acpi has a issue with the Battery and I spent a day investigating trying to get more info but hwmon and /sys were dead ends. This is a one of a kind netbook when it comes to hard ware any ways so I can't expect everything from acpi to work (in other words, I am not sweating the small stuff). Just the nature of the beast on this one. Like I said, simple and to the point.
Code:
$ acpi Code:
# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background .weather.sh file Code:
#!/bin/sh |

Code:
${goto 30}SU MO ${color6}${time %b %Y}${color} FR SA and the bottom one line uses the calendars names and two ${goto xx} commands. http://t.imgbox.com/adrnBvuw.jpg http://t.imgbox.com/acgxf1RX.jpg For LUA clocks are you adjusting the rings with the x,y values? Example: Code:
-- HOURS |
I finally got around to playing with it today. My theory of a lua relationship was completely wrong. It looks like my problems were syntax errors when adding them to the Openbox startup.sh, and in one or two instances, placing rc files in the wrong place.:o At least for a couple of the clocks. A couple others still want to display text, instead of a clock.
The good news: I have managed to get one of the clocks to work.:D The bad news: It does not have transparent styles, which is what I want.:cry: So half way there. It should not be much longer before I have the clock of my dreams. |

Code:
## Start all Conkys after a slight delay Transparency - what composite manager are you running? It's important. |
For now I am running multiple Conkies, because it is easier for me to run a clock separately, until I can figure out how to integrate a clock into a single Conky. My first priority is getting a clock I like to display, instead of one or two large letters. It is a combination of what to add, what not to add, where to add it and probably a fount issue. Not being a computer competent, it takes me a while to figure things out. But eventually it will be done. At the moment, I am happy with my progress.
My compositor is Compiz. Has worked fine for everything so far, so unlikely (but not a certainty) a problem. |

How I WILL replace Gkrellm with conky.
Hi, I got tired of gkrellm crashing and sound-scope not working with new systems (worked < 2008) I've been following a few threads and have come up with something that works, but this is still a WIP. imagehttps://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...1&d=1373362370 /etc/conky/conky.conf Code:
# maintain spacing between certain elements ref. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php..._configuration Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde4/Autostart/conkylink I got some errors in the gui, like the Gpu speed and Gpu temp. I'm still learning, and have to read the docs. brb, Glenn Quote:
I expect to add system fans and a weather/surf section. got some good info, working on it... after some rest. |
Quote:
Clocks are not hard to integrate into conky. Are you looking for a LUA clock? ie: Londonali1010's Air Clock has a semi transparent outer ring that bends nicely with the background. |

Do you have nvidia-settings installed? Read this to get started with getting your temperatures and such working: Using Sensors AMD 8 core - easy ... CPU % usage: CPU usage for the 8 CPUs ${cpu cpu1}, ${cpu cpu2}, ${cpu cpu3}, ${cpu cpu4} ${cpu cpu5}, ${cpu cpu6}, ${cpu cpu7}, ${cpu cpu8} and ${cpu cpu0}% to give you the average usage of the 8. nvidia commands are available in conky: ${nvidia temp}° will give you the CPU temperature - I don't think separate CPU temps are available for Nvidia CPU's.

:scratch:I have one question,
*solved with a reboot* The way I start and stop conky is to rsync it ... Code:
# Conky system viewer/ Below here is the original post... I'd like the window slightly larger, both height and width. Decreasing the font size helps, but The text becomes too small. Please find attached png image and conky text. /etc/conky/conky.conf Code:

Update.
I now have most of the details and how to get them sorted. Next is the Surf report, Brisbane area +-500Km, Australia, which I believe I can do standing on the shoulders of others. :-) But the surf report will probably need to be in another conky, due to space requirements, atm. /etc/conky/conky.conf Code:
use_spacer right Thanks heaps for your tips and other help, ie being on hand!. Thanks heaps! Regards Glenn |

At a loss as to why you are using /etc/conky/conky.conf That is the "default" conky that comes when you install conky. If you "copy" that to ~/.conkyrc then it's "still" a simple Code:
conky But if your are going to have multiple conkys best to put them in a folder, ie: Code:
~/conky/system-conky Simple bash start script: Code:
#!/bin/bash BTW, your code has: Code:
# Minimum size of text area Code:
minimum_size 270 920 ## width, height |

Perth W.A. I figured I'll adapt that one, Oh, from here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...4#post12705724 The window size(ing) is not a problem now. Thank you. I have copied the conky.conf to ~/.conkyrc. I will creat a .folder for the scripts. ~/.conky/conkyrc No sweat! Cheers |

Jockey type (bikini bottom) underwear/ swimwear, looks like you are trying to smuggle a Budgie in your pants. It's a sporting annoyance (makes you try harder) (at a loss for words atm) "derogatory" aka SLEDGING in cricket, Showing a critical or disrespectful attitude. "derogative - degrading - humiliating - pejorative" Usually from other surf/non-surf guys in Board Shorts, perhaps too timid to show how much they are "packing". Back on topic.... I have great news, I got the surf report to work and I'm pretty happy with the data for the system conky. system /home/glenn/.conky/system/conky.conf Code:
