conky is already packaged for Debian if that is what you have on your mind. It is fully described on https://conky.cc/

You said NPM was good, should I even be considering JS at this point? Is it compiled? Trying for #58 and #59. X E.

That conky does not seem to be what I am after and I should mention trying for not in C or Python. Does it use anything you plug in too, conky I mean. Looking for like basically if your computer can know it's surroundings or maybe some inerds make a thing to see, test, and record those. X E.

npm2deb is good in the sense that it requires minimum of manual cleanup work compared to other helpers and sometimes, its result even may be used as is, without any cleanups. You'll notice that in #40 I was careful enough to always spell it "semi-automatic" when speaking about automatic helpers. In practice, a fully automatic conversion that works out of the box is rare. You are almost always required to do some manual adjustments as well.

What is compiled? npm2deb? It is available in Debian and in most Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu, and can be installed from their official repos. It is part of the workflow used by Debian JS-Team to package JavaScript modules. Check out their Javascript Tutorial.

If you write a script for it, it does.

What's Conky all about?

Conky is a system monitor for X. Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own window. Not only does Conky have many built-in objects, it can also display just about any piece of information by using scripts and other external programs.

Conky has more than 250 built in objects, including support for a plethora of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage, top like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few), built in IMAP and POP3 support, built in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, Audacious), and much much more. Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours.

You know what, I can just install Rust and get about as native sensing stuff, no .deb needed. If I really want to I can any time use cargo deb to make a .deb from Rust packages too. solved. X E.

Anyway, I think I may try with Rust and crates, it is about as native and it can do more than that in one GUI no extra script needed. Solved. X E.

Your new thread did not differ in any essential way from your previous thread and provided no specific details useful to those providing answers, so the two have been merged.

Sorry, I have no more details to offer, I think I will just do crates and Rust and be done with it. X E.

At this point solved and unless you got more why not just delete this or archive? I am never finding how to make a .deb with dynamic content anyway except that Rust deb maker. At this point maybe just an example with dependencies might help. Something not C or Python. X E.

Again, there is *NO SUCH THING*. If you click on a .deb (or .rpm), it will more than likely run the system installer, not run your program. AGAIN, as explained to you many times now, a package is just that; A PACKAGE. It *CONTAINS* things. Once its installed you can then run the newly-installed software. And to re-iterate, since you're lacking understanding: that software can be written in ANYTHING. ANY programming language, at all.

X E.
Again, you are not paying attention, at all. You are not making any sense, and STILL don't seem to understand what a program is or what a package is. This question is a good example of your lack of understanding, despite being told many times. You say you "make a layout"...a layout of WHAT??? In what??? And if you're still claiming to be an expert programmer in any language, it's incredibly hard to believe that such a programmer wouldn't know how to change the text of THEIR OWN PROGRAM, or make it do whatever they want.

Great; you still make zero sense, don't seem to understand what a .deb is (even though you've been pointed directly to the documentation, and have THOUSANDS of examples/how-to guides that are easily found with a brief search), nor do you listen to anyone's advice. All of the threads you've opened here have shared this trend where you don't seem to listen or understand what you're told, or just plain ignore it. As you do with the "X E." garbage, despite being asked not to do that too.

Can you tell any of us why we should continue to try to help you with anything at this point???

Okay so once installed a program from a .deb should be dynamic like click a button do something. I can make static layout of said program but not make it work yet. I guess not possible again right? X E.

Before asking or answering anything else, please try to explain clearly and exactly what this means.

Exactly please, how do you "make static layout of said program"? Please post a representative sample of the code you use to do that for others to see.

As has been explained to you dozens of times now: a package installs whatever is in it...what it DOES after that is up to whatever is IN the package. AGAIN: a .deb file can have anything in it, from plain text documentation to a hugely-complicated GUI program, or simple CLI program. This is where you (being an 'expert programmer') come in.

Again, maybeJosiah, you've been asked to cut out that "X E."/maybe garbage, yet you ignore it and continue. And you were asked why anyone here should continue to try to help you when you just aren't listening or even seemingly acknowledging what you're told.
