HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[Jedcurtis]

It is the after taste of the German Bier that is good - but wheat bier has a sweetish after taste

Sweetish or Swedish?

[paramvir]

How about this? Could someone post a 'working' conkywx.conf that is currently working for them? I can change the pertinent data to work for my sys.

Thanks,
Jed

Ok - once you have cleaned up conkywx - and have read the manual - there is an untouched working copy of conkywx.conf in the /usr/share/conkywx/examples directory

I kept one there just for this - where say I have messed it up - now what - there is one in the examples directory - make a fresh copy and voila - good to go

[Jedcurtis]

After sys restart. See pic.... What is the number 1 down there for?
Also, I just noticed, it doesn't look like it is using the correct icons for the moon and stuff at the bottom?

Looks like the same as the one in the examples directory.... (conkywx.conf)

The last 2 lines of your template - forecast temperatures and CoR [chance of rain] are not showing - need to check that.

Thanks,

PS, your not drinking your bier while helping me are you? One shouldn't conky and drink!!!

[foodoo]

Hey Paramvir,

Ok thanks for that i will leave it alone and just be very happy with what i have got!

As to the Wheat Bier "Hefeweizen Bier" of German its very nice but you won't want too much of it, I prefer the "Pils bier" which isn't cloudy!
Do you know "Stella Artois" better known to some as "Wife Beater" because after 4 or 5 pints you tend to go into hooligan mode, that's not for me!
I just get drunk sometimes and then fall asleep on the tram on the way home but wake up in the middle of nowhere after i have missed my stop haha.

If you like wheat bier then you should visit the Munich October fest it starts in the middle of September and runs for a month, check it out on the web!

No I had some for lunch with a buddy he he

Refer to post #409

####
## This buffer is used for text, single lines, output from $exec, and other variables.
## Increasing the text buffer size (too high) will drastically reduce Conky's performance.
## Decreasing the size (too low) will truncate content and cause strange display output.
## Standard text buffer size is 256 bytes (cannot be less). Adjust YOUR buffer wisely!
#
text_buffer_size 6500

####
## Maximum number of special things, e.g. fonts, offsets, aligns, etc. (default is 512)
#
max_specials 600

Typical output is what you are getting - jack these figures up and see what happens

Sure wish I was there! Here in the US all we are seeing is election BS! Make a bier fest sound like what our politicians need over here! Of course you should all know that politic breaks down to -Poli meaning many, and tics meaning blood sucking insects!!!

Yes I see that on Travel n Living channel and salivate - though now we have some pubs that import the raw stock from Germany and brew it in house in huge things

It is GOOD

Otherwise Kingfisher Lite is good
