Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[terrorcore]

Hello;

I am new here and new to conky as well. I am having an issue with Conky displaying the network name and signal strength. It displays both my upload.download rates properly, but it doesn't display the connected network or the signal strength.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Z.

Here is the section for the network:

NETWORK ${hr 2}

nvclock -T | grep GPU
=> GPU temperature: 49C

hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: WDC WD6401AALS-00L3B2: 34°C


EDIT:

I'm getting this error when I run the GPU line in terminal (I even tried switching nvclock to nvidia-settings, still same error):

/home/anne/.scripts/colorize_gpu.sh: 19: [[: not found

And this error when I run the hdd line:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

You can't run the colorize script by itself.
The outputs above tell me that your temps are there just a matter of using grep to get them

I tried your commands and mine together, with yours I get zip with mine (obviously) I get my temps.

Here they are:

And yes, I do have the original "colorize" script as well.

Try using the commands as I have them.
Have a nice day.

I don't think you can get ESSID or Signal Strength from eth1 as that is a wired connection.

Do you have a wireless connection? If so what device is it?

I have eth1 set up as my wireless connection and eth0 is my wired connection.

[Cammy]

I tried your commands and mine together, with yours I get zip with mine (obviously) I get my temps.

Try using the commands as I have them.

As expected, I get CPU temps with mine, but nothing at all with yours. This is because we have different systems, of course, and we're working with different results from the sensors command.

But for some reason I can get the Core temps working but not the hdd and graphics temps. I might just go back to the old way and not worry so much about the colors.

btw, what's the purpose of all these ${goto}s?

I'm very proud of my conky, been tinkering with it since my introduction to Linux with dapper drake. The rc files I'm using now were inspired by conky colors and kaivalagi's works. I'll post any section anyone wants to see, since there are four rc files, plus supporting scripts. I think that would make a very long post.

Hi all,
finally i did my conky as i want. I get the conkyrc from this topic but i don't remember the author ,i modified the config files a lots.This is my final result

You most likely have the same problem I do. My wireless is a broadcom 43xx, so Ubuntu defaults to using this wl or Broadcom STA driver for it which doesn't properly support wireless extensions. You can tell for sure if this is the problem by running

iwconfig

in a terminal. If eth1 shows the actual essid and such, I'm wrong. If it doesn't, that's your problem. Depending on what chipset your wifi is, you may actually be able to use a different driver for it and get the result you want - it just depends. In the case of mine, I can swap out for the b43 module and get the desired results - however there can be drawbacks. In my case, the b43 will occasionally drop to a 1mbps wireless connection (instead of a nice 54mbps) after transferring a large amount of data.

If you need more information on finding your wireless chipset, open a terminal and try

lspci | grep Network

.

I don't feel like going thru all 500 pages again, but I don't remember seeing any screenshots of conky on Enlightenment. I just installed e17 yesterday, so here's a shot of my conky running on it. Basically the same as the shot running on gnome, but this show you can do the same things on Enlightenment. To achieve the transparent look in e you have to make sure own_window_type is NOT override (crashes in e17), use something like feh or Esetroot (I use Esetroot) to set the desktop background, and turn off dropshadow. There may be a way around turning off dropshadow, but I haven't found it yet. There are three conky configs here, one running the weather (using conkyforecast by kaivalagi), one running lyrics from lyricsdownloader (search it), and the main config. I've posted it all here before (so search for it if you want my config), but I'll mention here that the display of freespace on / is actually an automagically updating section that detects all mounted filesystems besides those I exclude (like proc, sysfs) and updates to display them.
