Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[mrpeachy]

i've been playing with curves and gradients in lua recently and have been working on a cpu display in a similar vein to Crinos512's (although not quite as polished as his yet ) but anyway, i thought i would post it



each of the 3 blobs is a core

i still need to make the curves more dynamic so they blend together better as they move
ill post a clip in a minute or so

well... here is a very jerky clip made using recordmydesktop
http://blip.tv/file/4949352

what utility did you use to record your clip Crinos512?

I wasn't asking for somebody to come in and fix it for me. I was asking for this -- a push in the right direction. Thank you. And as I stated in my post, I was using his script to get an idea of how to use Lua as I couldn't get it to work despite hours of trying to write my own followed by hours of trying to get his to work. All the information I've found online for learning this kind of stuff generally assumes you have a background or, at the very least, a solid foundation in scripting/programming. I don't even have a background in Linux -- I've been using it for a couple weeks.

Anyways, thanks for the resources. That's what I was asking for, not a hand to hold. I know I'm doing this ***-backwards but everything I know I've learned from fighting my way out of the thick of it.

You misunderstand. I'm not angry with you. Just frustrated that someone, AGAIN, decided to copy VinDSL's script as a whole and it came back to bite them for doing so. For people to help you here in this thread, being that we're addicted to Conky ourselves, we have to help with a code snipit here and there. When you have a question, we have to ask you questions back to find out where you're going with it and so we can tailor our responses to you. We all do it that way. These days, VinDSL's scripts make that conversation VERY difficult. You said you had trouble with the spacing and with getting things metric. They're right in the script. Big marquee comments, and there's even a few instructions put in there to guide you. But y'know what? Even if you follow them, knowing what a comment looks like versus code, we still get people like you. New to Linux, not coders in the slightest. VinDSL is a programmer, and sometimes forgets that complete blank slates like yourself are also fans of his work. He's a really nice guy, and I find him to be rather funny too. But when it comes to these scripts, every couple days someone pops up having copied it all and gone blank on how to make it suit their personal needs. It's frustrating. Many of us, myself included, WANT to help you. But we sound like complete unfeeling monsters every time we have to bring you up to speed to get you going. It's really best, for now, that you DON'T try everything VinDSL has done. You need to work toward it. You need to do it by hand, and learn your way toward an understanding. Trial and error. Conky is really very easy as programming goes. Since it's just a bunch of objects on a page, it's more like old HTML than other languages. Lua is an actual language, and Conky can make use of it, but Conky itself isn't Lua. They're just friends basically. But you'd know that better if you had started slower, asked questions when you were first trying and failing, you'd have learned the basics, had the little utilities you need, and known a lot of these links for yourself already. Then, when you tried VinDSL's script, you'd be okay asking for help on bits of it, and you'd be comfortable with the rest of us.

I know I sounded kinda rude in my first response to you. I was frustrated with the whole thing. Not your doing.

Greetings!

My main machine has been running Ubuntu 10.10 for several months now and a few weeks ago I discovered Conky. I have had a great time playing with Conky, Lua and the shell to get system vitals onto my desktop, so in the spirit of Conky, attached herewith are my files with a screenshot. Sorry for the length of the post.

Conky is divided into four sections (clock, calendar, sysmon and weather) so that I could have different update intervals and window locations. Major parts of most scripts were liberated from other sources and to their creators I am grateful. But many parts are unique and may act as a resource for others.

The clock started as a ring with text and I combined that with the hands function. Hands can be modified in size and made to move proportionately if desired. The negative start value is what begins the hands on the other side of center. The UTC hour hand was included just for fun but now I use it a lot.

Since I often want to know days and dates in the current month as well as into the next few weeks, the calendar is a bit different in that the current date is always in the week displayed at the middle row with weeks floating upward as time goes by. The code is a bit inelegant but all of it is there to manage colors and names of months in ways that change with the line involved. It all seems to work as intended well past the end of time in December of next year. The update interval is set to 2000. I tried to make it longer but it caused some kind of error loop even though the calendar would seemingly display just fine.

The system monitor section keeps track of temperature, resources and network/storage. The rings can be set to change color when things warm up to make them more noticeable. When not catering to my whims, the cores are searching for ET or folding proteins so they are always near 100%. This means I have little need to know about processes since the top several are always the same.

The weather section is fairly simple and lightweight, I believe, for what it displays. I was looking for just a bit more chat than an icon and temperature and could look out the window to get accurate current info. The data source I finally chose is from Wunderground. The icons are ConkyWeather font and a bit of a shell script and Lua pulls it together. The data source format is not formalized so every now and then the text may get out of alignment but it seems to work fine almost all of the time. This variability also leads to the length of the display changing to accommodate greater or lesser data. Go to Wunderground.com, enter your location, click the v button in the menu area to the right and copy the link to the iCal file. Put this in the conky_weather.sh wget statement. You will also need the ConkyWeather.ttf font in your ~/.fonts/ folder. The weather stuff is in its own folder under .conky, so change the path if needed.

My Conky is not fancy like so many of the incredible examples displayed here but it has its charm in a functional sort of way. I seldom see my full desktop so I just have a simple dark gradient and the light text works fine. I have 1200 pixels to work with so one may need to squeeze things up a bit or cut out part of the weather to make it all fit. Finally, these things have worked only from days to weeks. There may be obscure bugs as there always are, so I apologize if you discover them. Thank you to everyone contributing vast insight and experience in this forum but especially to slk, londonali, teo and tirabassi, who were my primary sources. (The screenshot shows the Conky area in two parts to get the whole thing into the image limits at full resolution.)

Okay. I'm ready to share my plan for that ink level thing. I've created more LEDs for my Conky! Or, that's the plan. More indicators of ink level. And now I'm stuck, too. Mostly because I've entered an area I need a programmer's experience for.

When you use the ink -p usb command, it results in something looking like this:

EPSON Stylus CX9400Fax

Cyan:                         100%
Magenta:                      100%
Yellow:                       100%
Photoblack:                    31%

I have everything I need except this: A way to get JUST the numbers. I can get the numbers with their percentages, but I can't seem to figure out how to get just the numbers. I need to set up an if_match statement, which I've already got the structure for in place. I need something to actually match up to. if_match doesn't do percentages. I "Vaguely" know I need sed for this, but the help file for that program just did not help me here. Anyone better at this than me is much welcomed to particpate! Here's what I've got so far, and I'll attach one complete set of LEDs (My shorthand for indicator graphic.) so it's easier to understand where I'm going with this.

${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Photoblack' | awk '{print 2}'} < "50%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/LowInkBlackLED.png -p 150,57 -s 20x20}${else}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Photoblack' | awk '{print 2}'} > "50%"}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Photoblack' | awk '{print 2}'} < "60%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/HalfInkBlackLED.png -p 150,57 -s 20x20}${else}${image ~/Conky/Icons/NormInkBlackLED.png -p 150,57 -s 20x20}${endif}${endif} ${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Yellow' | awk '{print 2}'} < "50%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/LowInkYellowLED.png -p 170,57 -s 20x20}${else}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Yellow' | awk '{print 2}'} > "50%"}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Yellow' | awk '{print 2}'} < "60%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/HalfInkYellowLED.png -p 170,57 -s 20x20}${else}${image ~/Conky/Icons/NormInkYellowLED.png -p 170,57 -s 20x20}${endif}${endif}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Magenta' | awk '{print 2}'} < "50%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/LowInkMagentaLED.png -p 190,57 -s 20x20}${else}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Magenta' | awk '{print 2}'} > "50%"}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Magenta' | awk '{print 2}'} < "60%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/HalfInkMagentaLED.png -p 190,57 -s 20x20}${else}${image ~/Conky/Icons/NormInkMagentaLED.png -p 190,57 -s 20x20}${endif}${endif}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Cyan' | awk '{print 2}'} < "50%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/LowInkCyanLED.png -p 210,57 -s 20x20}${else}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Cyan' | awk '{print 2}'} > "50%"}${if_match ${execi 30 ink -p usb | grep 'Cyan' | awk '{print 2}'} < "60%"}${image ~/Conky/Icons/HalfInkCyanLED.png -p 210,57 -s 20x20}${else}${image ~/Conky/Icons/NormInkBlackCyan.png -p 210,57 -s 20x20}${endif}${endif}

And this is the command exec is calling itself in case it's too much of a headache to browse that whole thing.

ink -p usb | grep 'Photoblack' | awk '{print 2}'

Where am I going wrong? How do I strip off that percentage sign on the end so I can compare just the number?

*EDIT* Images attached, there are three of them, and they're small. They actually have the letters B and I in white, surrounded by a coloured square. One Red, One Yellow, and One White. Since it's hard to see against the forum all white background.

Hi MrPeachy and Crinos512 and all !

Nice things you've done here !
It's very nice for a challenge, but all this moving things on the desktop are quite boring after some time !

Well, I've done it too last year but the post is lost in an other topic : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=193

you can never have enough things moving

im trying to push the curve envelope a bit further by using multiple instances of curve_to in each curve and having the conky variables affect the curves in many different ways.
my goal is to have the whole edge of the figure continuous and seamless so you wont be able to tell where one curve ends and the next begins (you can at the moment)

anyway, no conky setup ever stays on my desktop for more than a few days once im done with it

the challenge is indeed the thing!

try

ink -p usb | grep 'Photoblack' | awk '{print 2}' | sed 's/%//'

Worked great, but now I have to fix the code so that it doesn't kill Conky. I think I have problems with my if statements. I'll get back to you on it.

Well it looked like you guys were having all the fun with the printer stuff in conky and I happen to have a tiny bit of desktop space still free...so I thought I'd see if it worked on my system as well.

I just reinstalled everything the other day and actually hadn't printed anything yet, so I was a bit concerned when ink couldn't tell me anything. I checked to make sure I actually could print and I'm happy to say that I can.

While looking for the print test page button I came across this



Looks like I'm out of luck.

It could have been so much worse

They're unrelated. Try going back and giving yourself group rights to all those other groups mentioned earlier. Then log out, log back in, and try ink again. ink -p usb is the command.

It also depends on how your printer is attached.
