Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I was gonna ask first if anybody else has noticed this behavior. Whenever I use the HDMI out I get activity reported by the conky objects ${upspeedf eth1} and ${downspeedf eth1}. It happens when I use another screen from the HDMI port but I haven't tested the VGA port. I can even turn off the physical switch to my wifi and it still shows activity. Anybody seen similar activity or care to test it out before I report a bug.

Thx mrpeachy, I never realized that. That opens a whole new world of possibilities.

Hi,
Is there a way I can run a conky window in only workspace 4?

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit using Unity

There is a thread about that which covers compiz.
If you follow those directions you can have a different conky in every workspace or you can have conky only show up in one workspace while only running one conky process.

Awesome, There is so many tutorials, and this is really useful for me

How can I word wrap this(circled in red)? There is enough space below.

Here is the relative portion of the conky:

How can I word wrap this(circled in red)? There is enough space below.

Here is the relative portion of the conky:

${goto 145}${voffset -15}$color${font Arial:size=10}${execpi 60 sed -n '3p' /home/davejr/.conky/MyConkyLatest/Accuweather/curr_cond | fold -sw 40}${font}

this might work without having to go into the weather script itself
or some variation... im not able to test it im afraid
change the 40 to a size that works

-s, --spaces
break at spaces

-w, --width=WIDTH
use WIDTH columns instead of 80

Thank you. I actually need to wait for longer words in current conditions to occur before I can tweak it. 'Mostly Sunny' actually fits nicely on that one line.

Not really. You can set the number to something very low, like 5 or 10 to see if it'll actually fold it for you using this current condition, and then set it back to 40 or so if it works. If it doesn't work at all, you know to come back for another possible answer. Once a longer one shows up, you'll be able to see if whatever solution works on it or not. Testing new code can be done on temporary values just to test to make sure you've got all your syntax and spelling right. The actual value you finally want can be adjusted later once you know if Conky will let you do this method at all.

Alternately, you can also go to that data file on your drive, (path/to/script/Accuweather/curr_cond) go to the third line and physically change it to see if the code catches it.

Very True 42Dorian. I was thinking along the same thing. Making a temporary change to the curr_cond file and setting the update interval for the weather to 'something' long enough to allow me enough time to edit.

Well, it's getting close. However it's moving the 'wrapped' text all the way over to the far left and not directly beneath the first line. Is there a way to put a goto in there somewhere?

${texeci 60 bash /home/davejr/.conky/MyConkyLatest/Accuweather/acc_usa_images}
