Want to make a minor tweak to the default conky that comes with PinGuyOs 14.04.2

Want to add a second Cpu line and show the clock.

The conky is using various transparent images and the output is positioned vertically with ${voffset}s.
Not easily modified because if you add another cpu line you throw all the following lines out of whack because they use negative ${voffset} to position elements.

Start by making a copy and see if you can rewrite the "# Cpu, memory, uptime, and load graph #" section.
I don't have all the conky elements to test but start with something like this for that section....

# Cpu, memory, uptime, and load graph #
\
${voffset 294}${goto 40}${color5}Cpu0:${color}${goto 125}${color2}${cpubar cpu0 5,36}${color}${alignr 39}${color6}${cpu cpu0}%${color}
${goto 40}${color5}Cpu1:${color}${goto 125}${color2}${cpubar cpu1 5,36}${color}${alignr 39}${color6}${cpu cpu1}%${color}[/B]

Then you will need to align the next section with the background images.
This conky is written needlessly complicated using voffsets which makes "minor tweaking" not so minor.

ok, so it's likely to snowball. thanks.

[Lessss]

I added it to the very end. It gives me the 2nd cpu line

[CantankRus]

Yeah probably not what you wanted ...but easiest.
You could even make your own little conky to run as well as the default config.
Name what you want and save where ever.
Run with...

conky -c /path/to/conkyconfig

Have a play around.
You could use the first part of your default config which loads the background images.
Then configure what you want displayed.
Save and run this config as I described above...

Use the conky manpage for help.

I've bunch of conky config files....I want to add them to startup and in a quiet mode. Files :conkyrc....conky_speed....conky_rss how should i add them to startup with a single command

[CantankRus]

Use a script and add the script to startups.
Save as startconky.sh and make executable.

#!/bin/sh
  
   sleep 30  # sleep not required for xfce on startup - 30 or more for others
   conky -c ~/path/to/conkyrc &
   conky -c ~/path/to/conky_speed &
   conky -c ~/path/to/conky_rss

Use your own paths.
Each line to start a conky except the last must use a "&"

[medepalliajaykumar]

Thanks
conky_speed is returning nul
i've installed the python module using pip
${texeci 25600 speedtest --simple --server 3090 > .speeds 2>&1}

Conky will display "null" until the ~/.speeds file is created when the speedtest command completes.
Check in terminal to see if speedtest runs...

speedtest --simple --server 3090

Okay this is what I did.
Installed speedtest-cli using pip...

sudo pip install speedtest-cli

Got a list of servers ...

speedtest --list > speedtest.list

Don't like the use of the texeci command here.
You don't really want the speedtest command to run at specific intervals.
For the speedtest info to be of any use it needs to be run when nothing else is connecting to the net.
I wouldn't even have it in startups. I would have a script to toggle the conky on/off when I want to test.
eg this script will toggle any conky on/off.
Save as toggle-any-conky and make executable.

#!/bin/bash

## click to start, click to stop

### exec line in .desktop file 
# /full/path/to/toggle-any-conky /full/path/to/conky-config
## Eg /home/glen/conky/toggle-any-conky /home/glen/conky/configs/comic-conkyrc


if pgrep -f "conky -c $1"; then
	pkill -xf "conky -c $1"
else
	conky -c $1
	
fi

To run use...

/full/path/to/toggle-any-conky /full/path/to/conky-config

eg for me to toggle conky_speed, the command I would use is...

/home/glen/conky/toggle-any-conky /home/glen/conky/configs/conky_speed

or
create a bash alias in ~/.bash_aliases
eg

alias conkyspeed='/home/glen/conky/toggle-any-conky /home/glen/conky/configs/conky_speed'

Then all you need to run is conkyspeed to toggle the conky on/off.

I changed the conky_speed config to this.
It doesn't need to write to a ~/.speeds file and then cat that file.
Just output straight to conky.

Choose a server near you from the speedtest.list file created earlier in your home folder.
The conky will take about a minute to show while the speedtest command runs.
It will send a notification when completed.

Thanks it worked
I'm working on toggle-conky...
