Thanks Bruce, will have a look at it and play around.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
Hi.
I'd like to post a small HowTo.
Maybe some of you guys are using an overlay network like TOR or i2p to surf the web.
If you do, maybe youŽd like to have BOTH IP's displayed in conky.
So well, here we go:
First, you need the ip.sh script.
Create a directory in your home called .scripts
cd into the new directory and create a new blank file with an editor you like to use. I prefer nano.
so well:
Displaying the "normal" IP Adress:
nano ip.sh
paste the following content:
#!/bin/bash
wget --no-proxy http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -q -O - |
grep -Eo '\<[[:digit:]]{1,3}(\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}){3}\>'
(NOTE: --no-proxy option will be explained later. IT HAS TO BE THERE.)
save the file
chmod +x ip.sh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Displaying the i2p-Adress:
stay in /home/foo/.scripts
nano i2p.sh
paste the following content:
#!/bin/bash
wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -q -O - |
grep -Eo '\<[[:digit:]]{1,3}(\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}){3}\>'
save the file
chmod +x i2p.sh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we have to configure wget to use our TOR/i2p-server as proxy.
sudo nano /etc/wgetrc
search for:
#http_proxy = http://proxy:8080
uncomment and change to:
http_proxy = http://I2P_PROXY_IP:8080/
NOTE: The proxy IP can be localhost if you are running TOR/i2p on your machine. Otherwise, enter the IP of your I2P-Server. Change the port to the one you defined, or leave it default.
uncomment
use_proxy = on
save the file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring your .conkyrc
open .conkyrc with the editor of your choice. I stay with nano here.
nano /home/foo/.conkyrc
paste the following lines to your .conkyrc
Regular IP: ${alignr}${execi 1~/.scripts/ip.sh}
i2p IP: ${alignr}${execi 300~/.scripts/i2p.sh}
The "300" is important. Otherweise your i2p-server is gonna start to reject tunnels because of a high message delay.
Remember? We saved these two files in .scripts , the directory in your home folder.
Reload conky.
Feel free to add some colours or custom fonts to these lines. Example:
${font Sans:size=7:weight=bold}${color red}i2p IP: ${alignr}${execi 1~/.scripts/i2p.sh}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind: If you are gonna use wget in the future, you have to use the --no-proxy option. Well, maybe you want wget to download files via encrypted networks. It's your choice.
regards, categ0re
Im so sorry im a linux "noob" i see all this talk about creating this config file when i copied your code in the terminal to paste you conky config and tried to save it said could not find....does any1 have the heart to walk a dummy through step by step

Just finished my LCars Star Trek Conky, took just over a day of coding. This is for the right side screen of a dual monitor setup.
