Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[Petro Dawg]

Hi Petro Dawg,
Looking at your config in own_window_hints you have "above" set.
own_window_type normal uses these hints while
own_window_type override ignores these hints.

own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

should work fine.

I should have noticed that right away .

Thank you, works like a charm.

No problem.
Check my previous post.
I edited for semi transparency.

It depends on which script/s you want to use. Some require nothing but saving the .conkyrc file in your home folder, while others require installing new fonts and/or editing at bit and/or placing scripts in various locations to work correctly on your system.

Try to install a script you are interested in; and if it doesn't work, post back with the details so we can help you get it configured correctly.

I'm apologise for reposting a thread I started in Desktop Environments yesterday, only it seems no one can help and this is the thread to go to for conky problems.
I have a conky script that I have used for quite a few years.
The OS I have been using for a while was Mint 16 but I thought I would give Ubuntu 1404 a try as it is LTS.
Most of the script works fine but one area fails and I cannot get any help by Googling.
Here is the code in question.

${alignc}Local IP (${addr eth0})
${voffset 12}Down: ${downspeed eth0} k/s ${alignr}Up: ${upspeed eth0} k/s
${color2}${downspeedgraph eth0 20,130 ff0000 0000ff} ${alignr}${upspeedgraph eth0 20,130 0000ff ff0000}${color orange}
Total: ${totaldown eth0} ${alignr}Total: ${totalup eth0}
${voffset 16}Nameservers:${offset 8}${nameserver 1}${alignr}${nameserver 2}

The local IP is correct so eth0 is the correct interface.
I get 0B for all other values and the nameserver is shown as 127.0.1.1

Any help on adjusting the Conky Code for the new Ubuntu would be great.

If you do a lspci in a command prompt, and your network card shows up like this:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 08)

You won't be getting any traffic values until kernel 3.15 is released. The data logging part of the driver code was not included and is being put back in the 3.15 kernel. I would love to give the link as to where I read that, but I don't have/remember where I saw it...

Thanks for the information.
My Ethernet controller does indeed show as

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

So, I wait for the new kernel it seems.

Well, glad that got cleared up and explains why it woks here:

00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)

Keep in touch!

Hey guys, As a huge fan of conky myself, I just recently made a conky-like system monitor for android, I created a thread for it, I'd appreciate it, if you would check it out!
