Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[unkn0wn88]

hahahaha i can see 42dorian just lookin at this in anger. anyway unkn0wn88 these are the fonts to download:
http://ompldr.org/vODYxOQ
install and then do a font reload:

sudo fc-cache -fv

next time read through the script
O and 42dorian's list of helpful links:
Conky Configuration Variables (Above the TEXT section.)
Conky Objects (Below the TEXT section.)
Conky Pitstop (Source for how-to-use scripts.)
kaivalagi's weather script.
kaivalagi's misc scripts.
Other kaivalagi python scripts for use with Conky.

Hi, just click on this link.

'djyoung4' already answered that.

Thank you, Now I have installed all the fonts and the graphics can be displayed normally. But why the bar in Memory and HDD and calendar can't displayed in correct postition?

I have provided the screenshot:

VinDSL has done something truly evil to any new Conky user. He doesn't put a warning in the data dump post itself, warning about the little tricks you need to know in order to get his script working. And, we all know these tricks. We're Conky veterans at this point, and use them by instinct. But, VinDSL has been experimenting for experimenting's sake. He's nuts. I love the guy, but he's nuts.[...]

I hope you're kidding...

I see examples of my code, in various stages of development, all over the web. It's very easy to spot (as you've previously suggested). Would evil code lurk around every corner on the globe, and survive? I think not.

I killed the mem leak in londonali1010's most excellent background lua script. It took me a month to do what others couldn't do in a year and a half. Does that make me an evil genius? I would have kept the fix to myself, if I was "truly nuts".

I would judge that most noobs don't have a problem using my code, if they follow the comments. And, if they choose to ignore the comments, how does that reflect poorly on me?

We're both supposed to be on holiday. It was forced upon me, by a high-ranking mod. Every post I submit subtracts from my "bean count". I was exiled at 400+ "beans", now it's in the 200's. In your case, it was self-imposed, yes? Whom is the nut - me, you, or the mod (or all of us)?

Ppl continue to fill my inbox with requests. I send them over here. Does that make me mad, or just short on time?

It is, what is is. I can't help it if someone has had a stroke, and lost the use of one of their hands, can't follow instructions (real life example), and so forth, and so on. Everyone is in a different walk through computerdom. Some ppl cannot attain the experience you demand, no matter what. In some cases, life has dealt them a cruel hand, and they need to deal with it - but not necessarily alone.

With a little help, we'll get them on the right path, but suggesting that I'm nuts, evil, and have ruined this thread, is giving me way too much credit.

I wouldn't know how to be evil, if I tried. The whole concept is alien to me. And, I can assure you, I'm not nuts. And, I'm not messing with anybody. I post what I run - and that's it - nothing more, nothing less. My data dumps are a direct copy n' paste of my config files.

Sure, I code in my sleep, but doesn't everybody? LoL!

The madness occurs when you try to code your dreams.

It's a fine distinction...

I have provided the screenshot:

Set proper 'x,y' positions in bargraph_small.lua script, like

		{	--[ Graph for Memory ]--
			name="memperc",
			arg="",
			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=218,
			blocks=77,
			space=1,
			height=2,width=5,
			angle=90,
			smooth=true
			},

Thank you very much. Now I can set the bar to the correct position . What about the calendar postition? I still can't find the parameter option.

I have provided the screenshot:

You should load your lua script and fiddle with the x and y positions.
Your Memory and HDD bars: make them one or two blocks shorter and move the starting point a bit more to the right (the y position).
The same goes for your CPU bars, move them a bit to the right and lower.
Alterations take effect as soon as you save your lua script.

[VinDSL]

Thank you very much. Now I can set the bar to the correct position .

What about the calendar postition? I still can't find the parameter option.

The vertical position depends on the vertical offset (voffset) tag.

The horizontal position depends on the horizontal offset (offset) tag.

As you can see, Conky 1.8.0 & 1.8.1 handle spacing differently. Some ppl *think* this is a bug, but it's simply handled differently, depending on which version of Conky that you're running.

The last line is for the frame around the date. The same concept applies to it.

Thank you very much VinDSL, now I can fix everything on your conky config for my computer..
Your config was really great, but I can't use all the option because my monitor just support vertical resolution to 768.

Thank you very much VinDSL, now I can fix everything on your conky config for my computer. [...]

You're welcome! Have fun with it.

By the way, maybe I am "truly nuts".

All hail Ubuntu 11.10 'Oneiric Ocelot'

The best time to upgrade is before they release Alpha 1, right?!?!?

I'm having an issue with DATE & TIME in my conky script.
there is a big 2 in front of the date.Plus the date in the calendar is not highlighted. Any help would be appreciated.
