Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

I don't remember where I found it. I had a quick look on deviantart but couldn't it. Please find it attached instead...

That is from interfacelift website I think. If you can figure out the day you downloaded it (if you got it shortly after it was released) it will be easier to find.

how do you acces to db?
with internet browser?

you can get the code write in a terminal:

curl www (install curl if you dont have it)

If you need registration read manpage of curl.

You have so the code of webpage, you only need parse info do you like (with grep, sed and so). You can do it directly in conky. example:

${exec curl www... |grep "Requested"}

or better, write a script

Naturally isnt easily or direct, you need do it for your specific example

Wonderfull, thanks, it works very nice with curl. I have made a little PHP file on my site that extracts some usefull site statistics from the database, and with curl i can display this info in conky!

Hi all,

I am trying to get conky to display my battery stats on my Apple Powerbook G4. After looking around my system it seems that this is the line I need to add somewhere:

/proc/pmu/battery_0

This is the full line in my .conkyrc:

${font arial black:size=8}BATTERY: $font${battery /proc/pmu/battery_0}

However this is not working. Running conky from the terminal gives me these errors:

Conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply//proc/pmu/battery_0/uevent: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery//proc/pmu/battery_0/state: No such file or directory

Powerbooks don't use acpi, but this seems to come up in the errors.

Any body have any ideas?

Regarding batteries, you should be able to browse to the battery folder with Nautilus.

So... here's my new one. After seeing the "Velocity" wallpaper earlier in the thread, I decided to do a more "freeway" conky than my old one.

First, .conkyrc:

(If you're going to copy it verbatim, you need the Roadgeek fonts.)

Image should be attached. There's a few other things I want to do to it, like add a "Now Playing" for XMMS, and to show the frequency my TV card's tuned to if ivtv-radio is going, but those can wait until I can figure out the how...

However this is not working. Running conky from the terminal gives me these errors:

Conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply//proc/pmu/battery_0/uevent: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery//proc/pmu/battery_0/state: No such file or directory

OK did you copy and paste those lines in here from your terminal?

I see two double //'s where I think there should only be one /

Conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply//proc/pmu/battery_0/uevent: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery//proc/pmu/battery_0/state: No such file or directory

Thoughts?

This one is meant to be next to a panel, and I made it to use with my current desktop. The "1d" and "22u" are an abbreviated form of "1 k/s down" and "22 k/s up" that I implemented to cut down on size.

how did you do that beautiful conky with your terminal within it. i've been trying to find the variable to do that...

If I am not mistaken that is not conky running the terminal.

More likely the terminal effect shown was achieved using this guide HOWTO: Terminal as the desktop background.
