Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Ok, hope you sort out the boot.

In the conky it will use for the network info wlan0(wireless) or eth0(wired)
Check your network interface(terminal)...

ifconfig

The config also uses curl to retrieve your public IP address.
Install curl....

sudo apt-get install curl

You can run startup applications via terminal with...

gnome-session-properties

What ubuntu release are you running?

Well, out of that ifconfig I got this:

sozu@HP625:~$ ifconfig

sozu@HP625:~$

I am using wireless internet.

That curl code I runned and it said that I already have the newest version of it.

For version it's
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS"

[edit]
Also, the public IP were already shown earlier ( https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/...18384172_n.jpg )
But, now after reboot it says (null).

[stinkeye]

For wireless run...

iwconfig

[Niemil]

For wireless run...

iwconfig

oh okey.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:"appelstigen4"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 1C:AF:F7:8F:00:C0   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          
lo        no wireless extensions.

Yet not understanding really what I need to get out for the code. Is it the name of the network (apelstigen4) ?

ok normally your wireless would be wlan0 but some cards show as eth1

In your conky config search for and replace wlan0 (that's a zero) with....

eth1

Also for conky showing "null" that may be a bug for a particular conky version.
What version of conky do you have(terminal)....

conky -v

eg mine...

glen@Raring:~$ conky -v
Conky 1.9.0 compiled Thu May 24 15:31:18 UTC 2012 for Linux 2.6.24-31-server (x86_64)

[Niemil]

Ah, thanks! I just restarded after changing and now the up and down speed works. However, I think I am missing a font as I got "q" instead of an arrow up and "Q" instead of arrow down.
Here is my conky version.

Conky 1.8.1 compiled Fri Dec 16 18:29:36 UTC 2011 for Linux 2.6.24-30-server (x86_64)

Here is my conky version.

That version of conky has a bug that displays null when execi interval is larger than system uptime.
Basically you'll just see "null" for a period of time after a fresh boot.

Update your conky using this ppa...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/conky
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install conky-all

Did you install fonts from previous link?
Check VariShapes font is installed for the "q" showing.
The font file is named Varis.ttf

[Niemil]

Hmm nope, I don't have any font named Varis.ttf

I made some folder sometime yesterday named .fonts and have just a couple of fonts in there. If it's there I find them. No idea where else.
No idea if I installed fonts via another link.

Anyway, the only thing I care most about is that thing it disappearing for the CTRL+SUPER+D, not super big deal but still would be cool to have it on all time :s but seems like it just wont get to work. It disappear at the shortkey presses to show desktop, and when pressing again to make the window come back up, so does the conky window.

So instead of showing desktop shortcut, would maybe work if it existed some kind of function that minimize all windows, would be quite the same as show desktop one, and then would be working good.

[stinkeye]

Conky should not be minimized when showing the desktop if
"Hide Skip Taskbar Windows" is unticked in ccsm.
You can also try adding to ccsm > window management > window rules

class=Conky

Install the fonts from this link...
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...1#post12628707

Extract and place in ~/.fonts
The "~" is short for your home folder. eg for me it's/home/glen/.fonts
For you it may be /home/sozu/.fonts

[Niemil]

Thanks! Now the fonts works.

I went on the ccsm and the "Hide Skip Taskbar Windows" was ticked in at first, somehow it hadn't saved. So I unticked and restarted computer and checked again, and now it is unticked everytime I restart computer.
But problem remains.

I also tried add the class as you wrote.
And checked so it is saved after restart.
But still the conky wont stick on the desktop when I do the ctrl+super+D

In the conky config changing ...

own_window_type normal

to

own_window_type override

...should fix.

override windows are not under control of the window manager so
shouldn't minimize when you show the desktop.
For me this setting causes the conky window to randomly turn an opaque white with compiz though.
See how it goes for you.
