Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Did some adjustments to Infinity Conky for my Ubuntu desktop.

Thought I'd share the screeny.

Gotta love Ubuntu!

Gorgeous!

Looks like we're scuba diving in outer space.

Mind if I borrow it?!?!? LoL!

thanks to stinkeye and vinDSL lua script (suggested by stinkeye) I now have a semi transparent (tranluscent) conku background. Here is my conky and the conkyrc attached. I am using linux mint 13.

Hi guys,

Just re-worked my conkyrc scrip and wanna know what do you think about it

PS: GPU section is not displaying values, because there are some conflicts with conky and bumblebee ( Optimus for Linux)

Cheers !

hey

I'm posting this here in hopes of getting some help:


on the follow up of this thread

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12404651

it's obvious that using conky is a much better solution than leaving the terminal open with netstat running.

I need help because I have been for the last hour trying to setup conky but I'm not skilled enough.



The idea is to use conky like it was a firewall monitor.


No faceny things or graphics I just wanted it to display the activity of my wlan0

like I saw a screenshot of a guy who had his conky display something like:


firefox connected to 193.23.4.34:80
some other process connected to 89.23.4.43:80

this is the best I could come up with, it actually traces the ip

any help/ideas on a conky config that would be like a superior network monitor / wlan0 connection display ????



thanks in advance

I have been using the same concky for many years. It is simple, uses very little space, and doesn't detract from the rest of the DE or application effects.

I hope others can make use of it of modify it for their needs.

Hi guys,

Interesting - are those a semi-transparent image in the conky?

Take a look at Old_Grey_Wolf's conky. It's simple and a good way to start.

Make sure you have conky-all installed.

copy and paste Old_Grey_Wolf's conky to:

~/.conkyrc

and if you don't have a quad core delete the parts you don't need.

and start it in a terminal with

conky

OldGreyWolf has has a way to read wlan0 and eth0 so it will find your wlan0 setup.

You may have a problem with the "HandelGotD" font - if you don't have it, get it and install it.

Any questions just ask.

That nice, simple, elegant and does what it's meant to do.

Mine get really complicated ... and changes often

KUDOS!
