HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

paramvir,
Figured out the avatar issue.

I made the changes you suggested and the 2nd 2 cores are still the same.

Here is the picture. It puts the scroll bars way down below on the hard drive and root. I didn't know how to offset it.



Thanks!

Well - you have to play a little - it is lua juice you are missing. Just check what they have for the lua and just increment or extend - I am pretty late in the night here lol

Re conkywx - if you can find a nearby xml station - private weather station you will be really happy - but so long as it is working - Location weather is very good with WU - others have so much lag.

Moon rise n set has kept me awake - the pesky fellow spins so fast around us he he - already have the sun in the bag and the moon phases etc - just the moon rise n set

cheers

Cavsfan,

You want to be looking in the bargraph_small.lua file in your .conky folder to adjust the bargraphs up and down.

{	--[ Graph for CPU8 ]--
			name="cpu",
			arg="cpu8",
			max=100,
			alarm=50,
			alarm_colour={0xFF0000,0.72},
			bg_colour={0xFFFFFF,0.25},
			fg_colour={0x00FF00,0.55},
			mid_colour={{0.45,0xFFFF00,0.70}},
			x=82,y=254,
			blocks=55,
			space=1,
			height=2,width=5,
			angle=90,
			smooth=true
			},

Adjust the Y axis to position your bar graphs.

Finally got the extra 2 cpu bars working but, for some reason it quit updating.
It is like it is stuck until I logoff and back on.




EDIT: Nevermind it's updating fine now. I had to make the TOP PROCESSES 10 so it would fill the screen and also had to up the max_specials from 600 to 700 to allow the increase.

I found how to insert the battery and wifi indicator in Conky. Now my question is whether it is possible to make those Bars same as the processes bar and all others from picture?



I have no idea what I need to put in the field "name" and "Arg" from bargraph_small file:

An example of the processor code:

name="cpu",
arg="cpu1",

I've tried everything and the wireless (wireless_link_bar, wlan0) and battery (battery_bar, battery, BAT0) and various modifications of the above "code", but could not make Bar to moves. Does anyone have an idea?

Otherwise, the code I used looks like this:
For wireless

${wireless_link_bar wlan0}

For battery:

${battery BAT0}
${battery_bar BAT0}
${battery_time BAT0}

Cut the Top Processes to 3 and added the CPU/GPU temperatures.

EDIT: See the bottom. I think I got it working.
I wanted to change the HOME disk usage under HDD to my 1TB USB drive.
I have already changed the conky and it outputs the correct amount of used space but, I don't know what the correct piece would be to put where the blue name is for the lua bar:

(This is from /home/cavsfan/.conky/bargraph_testing.lua)

        {    --[ Graph for Home ]--
            name="fs_used_perc",
            arg="/home",
            max=100,
            alarm=50,
            alarm_colour={0xFF0000,0.72},
            bg_colour={0xFFFFFF,0.25},
            fg_colour={0x00FF00,0.55},
            mid_colour={{0.45,0xFFFF00,0.70}},
            x=15,y=342,
            blocks=77,
            space=1,
            height=2,width=5,
            angle=90,
            smooth=true
            },

        {    --[ Graph for Fantom USB ]--
            name="fs_used_perc",
            arg="/media/cavsfan/Fantom",
            max=100,
            alarm=50,
            alarm_colour={0xFF0000,0.72},
            bg_colour={0xFFFFFF,0.25},
            fg_colour={0x00FF00,0.55},
            mid_colour={{0.45,0xFFFF00,0.70}},
            x=15,y=342,
            blocks=77,
            space=1,
            height=2,width=5,
            angle=90,
            smooth=true
            },

I want to change /home to the red above.
The only problem is I don't know what to replace fs_used_perc with to make the bar correspond to the usage of the USB drive.

I have dug pretty extensively and am hoping this is an easy one for you.

Thanks!
EDIT: I got it working!
Soon after I posted this I put fs_used in place of fs_used_perc and that didn't work so I switched it back and now it appears to be working.

On Raring and Quantal I had to use this for the USB drive in the .conky file and in the bargraph_testing.lua file:

/media/cavsfan/Fantom

But, in Precise and Lucid I had to use this in both:

/media/Fantom

I was puzzled at first but, then I seen how the earlier versions look at media.

[VinDSL]

Good job, Cavsfan!

On Raring [...]

Now, you can add " | 13.04 | " to your sig...


Wanted to let everyone know, I'm not ignoring your post(s). I check this thread several times a day.

I've just been distracted with Gnome3 testing. Don't use this PPA (yet) unless you like breakage:

ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

Gnome-Shell 3.7.1 / Linux 3.8-rc1 are working fine...

But, Unity is a mess. Trying to sort it -- that's all...

[VinDSL]

Finally got around to installing Conky on my netbook...

ASUS Eee PC 1000HD / Peppermint Two OS (Lubuntu Fork) / Conky 1.8.0 / ConkyWX 0.7.9-1

Needs a lot of tweaking, but... Heh, it's a start.
