Hank,
What version of Ubuntu are you using? "eth1" for wifi was introduced with 12.04 - previous versions used "wlan0". This might be worth a try. As MrPeachy says, check ifconfig to find out.
A simple (well, relatively!) layout for Conky. I've wound back on the scripts for this one, just using the basic Conky weather functions. APT updates are shown when available, and hidden when not....
I use
own_window yes
own_window_type panel
own_window_argb_visual no
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
and it works fine with...
It was 1.8.1-5 when I first installed 12.04, but it was upgraded to 1.8.1-6 in the repositories shortly after.
Good to know!
And it did, thanks - as long as the battery is 100% full.
What I was really after was a way for the bar to stay green until it got down to a certain cut-off point, and then revert...
@MrPeachy, here's a lua question for you.
On the bar for battery level I switched the colours around so that it would show green for full and red for low. Is there any way to have the whole bar...
Nice! Live and learn, eh? There's no mention of that in the man killall pages.
It works for me without the sudo also.
I've found the easiest thing is to create the following script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# This is a script which reboots conky.
#
killall conky
conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc
#
exit 0
You can also use ${alignr xx} (where "xx" is a number) to specify distances from the right-hand margin. Useful if you want to show numbers with the decimal point in the same place.
My latest effort, tarball available here. No spinning icon this time, but the news scrolls across the bottom.
Open a terminal and enter:
sudo apt-get purge cinnamon muffin
Then open Software Sources and remove these two lines:

Thanks. RTFM! :)
Seeing mtclare's post just now got me thinking. Is there a way to make text (i.e. news headlines) scroll across?
Nope, not just you. :)
Thanks for the pointers, guys. Unfortunately I've locked up my 12.04 installation, so back on 11.10 for a while. Btw, does anyone know why my wireless connection, which has always been "wlan0", now...
Here's a strange one. I use Teo's 1d2 weather script, but since I upgraded to 12.04(64bit), it doesn't load properly for 10 minutes; it just returns (null) for all calls, even though the data files...
Your wife says that you know everything? That's not really a complaint that most guys have! ;)
The last 10 lines is the default for tail, unless otherwise specified. Just working in a terminal,
aptitude search "~U" | wc -l gives exactly the same output. I would agree that the tail part is...
I did a bit of digging and it seems that nmcli is the command you're looking for:
$ nmcli nm wifi onwill turn wifi on, while:
$ nmcli nm wifi offwill turn wifi off.
Full details & syntax can...
Sorry, crossed wires there.
If you go to the gnome control centre and select "Network, there is a switch on the wireless tab. Alternatively:
$ gnome-control-center network
Not sure of the...
Please open a terminal, enter
sudo rfkill list
and post the results.
I did a clean install of 12.04 with Cinnamon from the same repository but without Muffin, and it works perfectly, just like your clip. I suggest you get rid of the muffin package.
Here's a script that I called from conky to display updates:
#!/bin/bash
# Conky script for displaying available updates
# in Ubuntu. This script assumes you are in the
# sudo group and require...
That's the thing I love about Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular. You're never more than 20-30 minutes away from a clean, fresh install; then you're up & running as before - assuming you back...
