@BruceM first your swap line had a error. it's been edited. Please re-try it using the line below.

${color orange}DISK: ${color cyan}Swap: ${color white}$swapperc% ${color cyan}(${color white}$swap ${color cyan}of ${color orange}${swapmax}${color cyan})${color orange} ${swapbar}$color

Next looking at your screen-shot it seems sdb1, and sdb5 are reading the same partition/drive.

Please post the output of the command below, as it should allow you to see your partition set-up .

 sudo fdisk -l

Example out put.

First drive - 80 Gig
Ubuntu - sda5 - 62.5 Gig
W2K - sda1
sda6 - I thought was my swap partition, but it isn't configured (I think it's a W2K thing, don't know.)

Second drive - 40 Gig
BruLoo - sdb1

Questions:
1. Conky is reporting BruLoo (sdb1) as if it was the Ubuntu partition (sda5) but sdb1 is a seperate 40 Gig HD. Can anyone help fix this "oopps"?
2. What is sda6?
3. How do I find my "swap" partition? I remember creating it at 1Gig, and it is being reported above correctly, I think.

And last but not least, an off topic question:

4. Why is my computer constantly downloading "something" at 11-13 k/s even when I'm not doing anything online?

Bruce

I found Your BruLoo problem the directory is /media/Bruloo not /media/sdb1 just replace that in all places any you will be fine

[Lostincyberspace]

I had that same kind of problem it was really weird the first time but it is really pretty simple.

[Lostincyberspace]

@Bruce: About #4 could you post a screen shot of system monitor so I could look at it?

[jamesey]

It's your "use_xft" . Change that to no and play around with that.

Now you'll have to adjust your font as well, looks good though.

This is the original, which should explain it a bit more for you.

# X font when Xft is disabled, you can pick one with program xfontsel
#font 5x7
#font 6x10
#font 7x13
#font 8x13
#font 9x15
font *mintsmild.se*
#font -*-*-*-*-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*


# Use Xft?
use_xft no

# Xft font when Xft is enabled
#xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=8
xftfont Terminus:size=12

# Text alpha when using Xft
xftalpha 0.8

Good luck.

P.S. There's no variable "font :size=10", only font type if you enable Xft I guess that overrides your desktop font? (still play'n around with it myself)

[cdtech]

Update:

I found this to work --

# Use Xft?
use_xft yes

# Xft font when Xft is enabled
xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=8

# Text alpha when using Xft
xftalpha 0.8

#
# and this is your time you had on your first line
#

${font Arial-size=8}${time %H:%M}${font}

This will adjust your font for you.

[Bruce M.]

Hi JMK.

Near as I can figure you have me on a "script" somewhere.
"Bruce M. sent a message, go check it out!"

Not complaining at all though, you always come up with the solution. Which is extremely good for me.

@BruceM first your swap line had a error. it's been edited. Please re-try it using the line below.

Got it, thanks
Strange, I never saw that because it seemed to be working.
But it makes sense. Changed: ${swap} to $swap

Next looking at your screen-shot it seems sdb1, and sdb5 are reading the same partition/drive.

Yes, bummer huh? Don't know why. Here's the results:

sda5 - Ubuntu - 62.5 GB

40Gig HD
sdb1 - my "personal files" disk

So why doesn't this line work?

To create that line I copied and pasted the line for W2K, changed W2K to BruLoo and sda1 to sdb1 - it should work. ??

Seems sda1, and sda5 are still reading from the same partition you set up. Or is that how you want it?

Try the below line. it should read your main Ubuntu partition.

${fs_used /} of ${fs_size /} ${fs_bar /}
