    This will wrap the feed text wider than 40 columns.
    execi using conky_rss.sh doesn't seem to get the RSS titles right. For example, inputting Gizmodo's xml feed gave all sorts of weird extra stuff. And a twitter feed that relies on line breaks suddenly doesn't show the extra line. using just
    Code:
    ${rss http://url 30 item_titles 2}
    displayed the titles correctly, but without folding. However, the rss command ignores fold. Is there a way to get best of both worlds?

    Re: Howto: setup Conky in Hardy and Ibex

    Sorry in advance, I'm still a linux noob.
    I haven't been able to find a way that lets me display RSS feeds correctly (some give extra code in the title, some need to be multiple lines long with linebreaks) AND have wordwrap, I'm not too sure what to do with that.

    Also, looking at some of the configs that I am seeing floating around, some people are able to have a bandwidth total for the week, month, etc. Is there a way to do this for the previous 24 hours? My bandwidth is limited to 2 GB/24 hours, upload and download, and I'd like an easy way to keep track of this with conky, if possible.

    Thanks. I'm not sure what sort of information you might need from me to help, so just ask.

    I love the config in the first post by seldon77 - "very functional conky config", when I'm using bittorrent the network display shows my upload / download speeds and also the bar-graphs (one red & one green) change in intensity from dark to light it's very very clever!

    Re: Howto: setup Conky in Hardy and Ibex

    Hi,

    As you can see from my screenshot conky is sitting slightly to high. What is it i need to adjust in .conkyrc to bring it down a little?

    thank you

    ....Also, conky covers any application that goes into its view. Would like to set it so that it stays underneath like background

    For Yesterday:

    Code:
    ${execi 300 vnstat | grep "yesterday" | awk '{print $2 $3}'}${goto 140} ${execi 300 vnstat | grep "yesterday" | awk '{print $5 $6}'}${goto 205} ${execi 300 vnstat | grep "yesterday" | awk '{print $8 $9}'}
    Have a nice day.

    Looking for a little help on startup script.

    I have conky running on several computers running Intrepid. I recently upgraded one of them to Jaunty. I am very familiar with many forms of Linux, and Unix, so know a little... I have the following in my ~/Conky/conkymain

    Code:
    # UBUNTU-CONKY
    # A comprehensive conky script, configured for use on
    # Ubuntu / Debian Gnome, without the need for any external Scripts.
    #
    # Based on conky-jc and the default .conkyrc.

    I am using weather and other advance features they work great. In fact, if I start conky by running
    Code:
    conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain
    At the command line everything works great.

    However, when I start it from a start script, like this:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    pkill conky
    sleep 5 &&	
    conky -c /home/dccrens/Conky/conkymain
    I get the following output:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    pkill conky
    + pkill conky
    sleep 5 &&	# 0 good for Xfce - use 20 to 30 for Gnome
    conky -c /home/dccrens/Conky/conkymain
    + sleep 5
    + conky -c /home/dccrens/Conky/conkymain
    X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
      Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
      Resource id in failed request:  0x6200001
      Serial number of failed request:  232
      Current serial number in output stream:  232
    #sleep 0 &&
    #conky -c ~/Conky/conkyforecast &
    This makes no sense to me. I have used just about every variation of "start" or "kill and start" scripts posted on this and other forums... I have changed the "sleep values" and have used variations on background, etc. The standard start script worked fine in Intrepid but since I upgraded to Jaunty it produces this "X" related error...

    In Jaunty, everything else seems fine. I can run all graphic intensive apps. Play movies, etc. Not seeing any other errors.

    Any thoughts on why I am getting this X error. I have googled the error but not much luck there. My google-fu seems to be weakening...

    Thanks.

    Well thank you, but it is a joint effort.

    As to a start up script why not try this:

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    # click to start, click to stop
    
    if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
    then
     exec killall conky
    else
    
    #sleep 30  # not required for xfce - 30 or more for others
    conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain &
    #conky -c ~/Conky/conkyforecast &
    
     exit
    fi
    That script can be used in "auto-start" and as a launcher.
    If conky is running "click" and it's off and click again after editing and it's on.

    EDIT: It worked when I tested Xfce 9.04

    Have a nice day.

    Show us your conky file so we can help you.
