Yeah, TBG wrote my weather scripts the first time around. I think I may go back to that, and see if I can get one of the scripts to work with my, strangely obscure, weather location.

But, the rest DOES work now!

It's nice to hear something is working in this world! Congrats.

First conky setup, gives me what I want.

Run Robot Run!!!!

Screen shot looks very cool.

53 beans since 2007? Man of few words but important actions.

[brydonhunter]

52 beans.... feel so sad

I will work on this.

[Petro Dawg]

Been so long since I've messed with Conky; I barely remember how to configure anything... I was able to get one of my classic layouts somewhat working on my new Ubuntu installation. Still needs a little work. There a number of things I've forgotten how to do and some things that don't seem to work the way they used to.

[WinEunuchs2Unix]

Had to look twice at your screen, 20 GB / 66% free file system... That would imply a 60 GB disk but that is probably the /home directory. (didn't look at the code)

Don't blame yourself for some things not working, probably just changes in the underlying architecture(s).

The wallpaper appears to be aged concrete???

I still like Linux with a 1.5% user base and open-source the NSA probably won't bog down system with REAL "Spy-Ware".

[Petro Dawg]

The storage display shows 20G free and bar indicates that about 1/3 of storage has been used... so about 30G total home folder size or so. I dual boot and have 40G partition for Linux on a 250G HD. The rest is just games and MS Office on Win7.

Storage section code...

${color1}${font Alfios:size=12:bold}STORAGE${font}
${color5}File System${color}${alignr}${fs_free /} Free
${color0}${fs_bar /}

Wallpaper is black rock texture... oil bearing shale perhaps????

I used to know my way around AWK, MAWK, GAWK, GREP, and a slew of other nifty terminal commands... but haven't done a whole lot with conky or Linux hacking in years, so I forgot most of it. I used to even edit the Conky source code to get a few more tricks out of it. I find that Ubuntu (and Mint for that matter) works so well now that tinkering is no longer required, and its easy to get out of practice. I'll post the config file sometime when I get it cleaned up. If you look waaaaaaay back in this thread I'm sure there is a similar one that I posted before, except perhaps a bit more awesome.

Screenshot Conky Close.png <-- Perhaps this one is easier to see.

[WinEunuchs2Unix]

This thread is soooooo long looking back to find something is like looking for a "needle" in a hay stack.

I also use Windows 7 for games under dual boot.

I've played with GREP for the sole purpose of getting conky to parse and then display statistics from system commands.

I've thought about playing with Mint and Arch flavours of Unix / Linux but there is so much technology, so little time.

"tweaking" conky source code sounds like a great retirement project a few decades from now. I've only had to patch source to get Linux version (called Enhanced IO) of Intel Rapid Storage Technology's Hard Disk Accellerator to Solid State Drive Caching built into BIOS and controlled under Windows working properly because the author Stantec? stopped supporting it. Now Debian supports it so hopefully I won't have to delve into C source code again.

I'd like to see conky updated to merge 5 google chrome / chromium child PID's (Processor Identification threads) into one parent and display of IP address / company names / user names / nations / provinces / cities that are "peeking" into my machine. Of course you can get all this with the execc (sp?) command and parsing the output but it would be nice to have native function calls built in.

All in all conky is way better than PC Wizard under Windows that crashes all the time and doesn't allow an individual to tailor screens to his particular tastes. That said PC Wizard offers far more than conky out of the box to the eager to get to the meat and potatoes man.

Ummm.... I know you mean CONKY support, as in a tag or process IN Conky code... but Conky does support LUA. Toss a message to mrpeachy, if you can get a hold of him. He'll point you in the right direction to write a script that does precisely what you're talking about. I THINK I have a link to a LUA resource around here in my old bookmarks... I USED to have a link to a LUA reference, but the link no longer works. mrpeachy is really the best source I know of that is still active. I'll try to include that for you... It's a little daunting, but it's completely worth it if you genuinely want a feature for Conky that you didn't have before. If there are more LUA pros still haunting this place, I hope they see this and speak up. Like dk75, who is an efficiency genius who can help get you running LUA, but also is fantastic at writing super-simple and efficient grep/awk/sed system commands that will have you pulling system data like a pro. They've both been instrumental in getting me going, way back when I was first designing mine. I wouldn't know what I know now without those two.
