Sorry for the clutter. I was showing off my desktop to a friend earlier... and im too lazy to crop.
btw, the weather on the bottom of conky is from cairodock. Conky weather was being a poopoo to me.

Hi,

I'm using the code from second post but this code does not monitor my wireless conection. What can I do?

Another problem, is, if I run conky from console, I have the following information: Conky: statfs '/mnt/slack': No such file or directory. What does that mean?

Also I have 2 other problems. My conky is already forked with background yes, but it still not always in the desktop... Other problem is, this code have many unused area (at least the twice), so it's very anoying.

Can anyone help me?

[ajcham]

Another problem, is, if I run conky from console, I have the following information: Conky: statfs '/mnt/slack': No such file or directory

This is caused by the following in the .conkyrc:

${offset 240}${color slate grey}SLACK:  ${color }${fs_free /mnt/slack} ${fs_size /mnt/slack}
${offset 240}${fs_bar 3,100 /mnt/slack}

This is trying to get the usage stats on a file system mounted at /mnt/slack
The person who posted this conkyrc must have a partition here, which you don't, so you can remove these lines (or if you have another partition you would like to monitor edit it accordingly.)

I really like this script, but there's really any problem with the used space. Please look at my atachment.

What can I do to fit the used area?

I think if you comment out this line then Conky will only use as much space as is needed.

love your conky, but i need help with the net part and getting it to show my up and down speeds

[ajcham]

love your conky, but i need help with the net part and getting it to show my up and down speeds

Are you using a wired or wireless connection?
If wireless try changing eth0 to wlan0 in the following part of your script:

${offset 240}${color slate grey}NET: 
${offset 240}${color}Up: ${color }${upspeed eth0} k/s
${offset 240}${upspeedgraph eth0 20,130 000000 ffffff}
${offset 240}${color}Down: ${color }${downspeed eth0}k/s${color}
${offset 240}${downspeedgraph eth0 20,130 000000 ffffff}

[Shadowhack]

i use wired.

[ajcham]

i use wired.

OK, try ifconfig to see which network interface you are using, then change the references to eth0 in your .conkyrc appropriately.

If it turns out you are indeed using eth0, then I'm afraid I'm stumped.

[Shadowhack]

the chart things started working right after i downloaded something, but i got some box around it.
