Hmmm... a slight re-wording makes that "When the sun burns out, I hope it takes you and your family with it!"

Heh.. I just like taking old "good luck" sayings and distorting them.

For example: "Live long and prosper" becomes "Die slowly and suffer."

Maybe I'm just a bit demented.

I think maybe you've been sniffing too much mobile diesel fuel.

I think maybe you've been sniffing too much mobile diesel fuel.

I've been cooking a lot of veggies lately, especially broccoli, and as a result I have been producing a bit more methane.
My wife doesn't think it's near as funny as I do.

Back closer to the topic, Yahoo! Weather changed something and now my text weather forecast no longer works.

Right after the conkyForecast output, I had output like this:

Tonight: Generally clear. Low 31F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: A mainly sunny sky. High near 55F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow night: Clear. Low 32F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph.
Friday: Except for a few afternoon clouds, mainly sunny. High 58F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph.

Now it doesn't show up using curl, even when I set the user-agent string to be identical with Firefox. I'll probably have to use w3m again for that. If weather.com included that in their xml output it would probably be easy for Kaivalagi to add it to conkyForecast. I've looked through the un-edited xml myself and that data just isn't there.

anybody got an easy fix to reset the battery time. In my 9.04 it always used to give a rough estimation of how long the battery had. It doesn't seem to be working in 9.10.

${goto 675}${font Verana:style=Bold:size=9}Battery Percent: ${font Verana:size=8}${if_match ${battery_percent} > 30}${battery_percent}$else${if_match ${battery_percent} < 10}${color red}${battery_percent}$color$else${color yellow}${battery_percent}$color$endif$endif%
${goto 675}${if_match ${battery_percent} > 30}${battery_bar 10,182 BAT0}$else${if_match ${battery_percent} < 10}${color red}${battery_bar 10,182 BAT0}$color$else${color yellow}${battery_bar 10,182 BAT0}$color$endif$endif
${goto 675}${font Verana:style=Bold:size=9}Battery Time: ${font Verana:size=8}${battery_time BAT0}

Just wondering if anybody knows how to fix it. any help is appreciated.

GAS! GAS! GAS! - Everyone down!

Ok, now that we have that cleared up (pun intended) lets get to the good stuff.

Since you asked, there are other options:

1. HOW TO: Conky weather info using Accuweather RSS - uses conkyForecast "fonts"
2. HOW TO: Conky weather info using Accuweather RSS – Text Only
3. HOW TO: Conky weather info using Weather Underground ICAL

You know, Conky Hardcore! isn't just a pretty face (YUK! did I just say that?), it truly is a CCCC - "Creative Collaborative Conky Community" with:

Admin:

1. Bruce
2. uncertain

Editors:

1. arpinux
2. Crinos512
3. DjNeophyte
4. helmuthdu
5. jjgomera
6. londonali1010 - coined the CCCC phrase!
7. mobilediesel
8. proxess

Alphebetically speaking who is that #7 - and 71 Subscribers, many of whom have their work online.

So when people say Conky Hardcore! is mine they are wrong. The idea that became CH! actually came from a post in this thread. Then www.linux-hardcore.com donated the space and IP address for CH! Uncertain and I went all out getting it started, and as time passed I invited people to be Editors - it was simply growing too fast to keep up.

And to my knowledge, the French section is 100% complete.

So now the air is clear, and you have options.

Have a GREAT Day.

I'm thinking of creating a PHP (with CodeIgniter) and MySQL website for Conky-Hardcore / CCCC, seeing that WordPress isn't very practical. I'll be adding functionality like Conky/Lua code recognizing.

Tho I won't start without "everyone's" consent (mainly the people listed, Editors and Admins). Also some brainstorming would be nice. Perhaps we can set up an IRC channel on quake.net for the CCCC?

Question:

How do I run conky when Compiz sets the background? Currently it does not work for me, since I unchecked "show desktop" in nautilus in gconf-editor for compiz to show the desktop.

The accuweather script will probably be some use! Right after I clean it up a bit

The sed commands on lines 3 through 6 can be condensed into one line. The if...elif can be cleaned up by using case...esac instead. I'll probably also change from the hardcoded url and directory to commandline arguments or possibly a small config file. or option to use either one.

I'm just picky like that.

Add this to your conky config above TEXT

own_window yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below

If you then see little drop shadows around your conky boarder you will need to go into ccsm and under window decoration / shadow windows input the following:

any & !(name=Conky)

You should then be all set. Let me know if you still have an issue.

For BAT0 ${battery_time} should be sufficient. It's what I use anyway.

My battery .conkyrc :

#maximum_width 1366
gap_x 0
gap_y 2

own_window_colour black

use_xft yes
xftfont Radio Space Bold:size=10

TEXT
${if_match "$battery" != "not present"}${battery_percent}% ${if_match "${execi 60 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep charged | awk '{print $3}'}" != "charged"} ${execi 60 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep capacity: | awk '{print $3 $4}'}  ${execi 60 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep rate: | awk '{print $3 $4}'}  ${battery_time}${else}Battery Charged${endif}${else}No Battery Present${endif}

You might also find some useful info running

cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
etc.

in a terminal.

I'm having issues with Conky on my AA1 running Kuki...


First, it doesn't load at startup. I made the .ssc.sh executable via chmod, I loaded it into Sessions so it loads at startup, there's no sleep value (using XFCE).
I used the same exact script as my Jaunty Conky (seen a page back).

When I load it manually (conky -c etc...) it makes my Desktop icons disappear. They reappear when I hover on them or when I select them. Then disappear again...

Any ideas...? :s the AA1 isn't a race horse (1GZ Atom, 512RAM) but it should be able to handle this I thought...
