HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[davesbrain]

Strange calendar alignment. Today is Wed July 3rd. How can I get all the columns to line up properly?

Don't know what's going on there, but you might want to try this...

${voffset 30}${font DroidSansMono:size=7.55}${color3}${alignc 60}${time %A}${font}
${voffset -4}${font DroidSansFallback:bold:size=18}${if_match ${time %e}<=9}${color5}${alignc 65}${time %e}${font}${else}${if_match ${time %e}>=10}${color5}${alignc 60}${time %e}${endif}${endif}${font}
${voffset 0}${font DroidSansMono:size=7.55}${color3}${alignc 60}${time %B}${font}
${voffset 0}${font DroidSansMono:size=7.6}${color3}${alignc 60}${time %Y}${font}
${voffset -80}${font CutOutsFor3DFX:size=67}${color8}${alignc 99}2${font}
${if_match "${time %b %G}"=="Jun 2013"}${voffset -76}${else}${if_match "${time %b %G}"=="Mar 2014"}${voffset -76}${else}${if_match "${time %b %G}"=="Aug 2014"}${voffset -76}${else}${if_match "${time %b %G}"=="Nov 2014"}${voffset -76}${else}${voffset -70}${endif}${endif}${endif}${endif}${font DroidSansMono:size=7.55}${color3}${execpi 60 VinDSL_Cal_9=`date +%-d`; cal -h | sed -e 's/\r//g' -e 's/^/ /g' -e '1d' -e s/^/"\$\{offset 100"\}/ -e 's/\<'"$VinDSL_Cal_9"'\>/${color4}&${color3}/'}

Works on this machine.

BTW, I tweaked the Time/Calendar sections a while back.

Here's what I'm currently using...

Well, that gives me this...

Using 12.04 LTS and Conky 1.9.0 (precise-backports). Should I go back to 1.8.1?

Please refer to the documentation wiki at https://bitbucket.org/plikhari/conkywx_pub/wiki/Home and the image link http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/conkywxalerts03.php

You have a local copy of this wiki - if you type conkywx at the command prompt you will see the option to read the wiki.

You are looking at weather alert - you have 4 alerts.

cheers

Hi,

@VinDSL. Do have you your latest conky configs uploaded somewhere? If you have, please share the link.

I have been trying to make it work since yesterday. Everything's fine except for the conkywx weather part.

Tahnk you very much!

I am getting this error for some reason:

cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ conky -c /home/cavsfan/.conkyrc.vindsl &
[1] 2967
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ Conky: forked to background, pid is 3013

Not sure what to make of it.



Could it be the Moonset? It displays A.A.H.

Helloooo

I had noticed this error some moons back during my daily check of wx around the planet - I had noticed that the 10th day low temp forecast was NA. I keep one conky display on world weather - Please confirm if you are still getting this message then can you send me the currdata.html from the conkywx temp directory under the /tmp. thanks

It does not affect the output but the warning is a good thing.

I have made changes to the new version. I have been working on the new version for some time - time is a major challenge some times lol

Also need to work on the wiki - have started but lets see

cheers
