Hey quys... quick question...

I install hddtemp to implement into conky a hddtemp monitor display. I do something like hddtemp /whatever/sda

and it spits out the temperature...

Only problem is, I have to sudo to get access to that temperature, so when I put it into conky it gives me permission errors when I run conky from the terminal without sudo..

I have conky as a startup program, so I will not be able to sudo it...

Is there a way to grant a command in conky the rights to make this work, or do I have to change the permissions of the file containing sda/sdb, and if I have to do the latter, is there any security risks that wouldn't even make it worth it?

Any special scripts or packages/dev packages need to be installed for these conky calendars to work? I've been looking for this for the longest time. Thanks for any info. =]

Nope, they are all running the terminal "cal" command. Open a terminal and type in "cal" (without the quotes). You will get all of the months for this year. If you change the command to "cal -3" it will present you with three months - the current month and the month before and after.

The "cut" command picks certian columns from the output of the command to which it is associated. cut -c1-10 will keep columns 1-10 in the output of the command. there are other switches to discard columns (-d I believe). No magic or wizardry here.

I did do mine a little differently because I wanted the months stacked. The normal cal command will return three months displayed from left to right in the terminal window. To stack them in mine I had to cut each individual month out of the command to present it, that's whey the script is three cal commands instead of just one.

Hey quys... quick question...

I install hddtemp to implement into conky a hddtemp monitor display. I do something like hddtemp /whatever/sda

and it spits out the temperature...

Only problem is, I have to sudo to get access to that temperature, so when I put it into conky it gives me permission errors when I run conky from the terminal without sudo..

You need to enable execution permissions on the hddtemp script so that your user has permission to execute it. The dangerous way is to open a terminal window, navigate to your hddtemp script and then

sudo chmod 755 hddtemp

The even more dangerous way is to open a terminal and enter the following command:

gksudo nautilus

This will open your file browser as root from the / directory. Navigate to the file, right click on it and edit the permissions. Careful what you do here, mistakes are easier to make with gksudo nautilus than you might think. It's like editing the Windows registry - if you don't know what you are doing don't do anything except explicity what you went in to do.

[hardKNOXbz]

Any name you like. You will have to specify it as one of the command line parameters when you startup the second instance of conky.

can someone help me please???

i am trying to start another conky for amarok.... i would like to have one to the bottom right of my screen but is there some script i need to edit or something so that it can be recognized??

also, if i change the name of the original conkyrc, conky uses the sample conkyrc that it came it.... i was trying to change it to .conkyrc_main....

thanks in advanced!

Edit ::: i think i got it!!!!

[PurposeOfReason]

how can i do that?

Open XMMS and go

Options > Preferences > General Plugins > InfoPipe (1.3 probably)

then with that highlighted click enable plugin in the bottom right corner. It should now say enabled after it. See if that does it.

ok, i enabled it-- but when i launch conky from the terminal, i get this:

Can't locate XMMS/InfoPipe.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/daniel/.config/scripts/xmms.pl line 5.

Is there a variable to display the current RPM of the hard drive?

Okay. Change your conkyrc XMMS part to show as follows:

Xmms: ${execi 1 cat /tmp/xmms-info | grep Status: | cut -d ":" -f2}
Artist: ${execi 1 xmmsctrl title | cut -d "-" -f1}
Song : ${execi 1 xmmsctrl title | cut -d "-" -f2}
Time : ${execi 1 xmmsctrl print %m%n} ( ${execi 25 xmmsctrl print %M%n})
Number  : ${execi 1 xmmsctrl getpos} / ${execi 25 cat /tmp/xmms-info | grep Tunes | cut -d ":" -f2}

Then in your tmp folder make a script called 'xmms-info' which will look like the one below. Make it executable however you like to.

#!/bin/bash

#This script is free to modify and distribute.
#Use at your own risk.

#Requirement: xmms-infopipe

#User Settings here
maxcol=35
file=/tmp/xmms-info

#Grab needed information
pos=`cat $file | grep uSecPosition: | cut -d : -f2`
len=`cat $file | grep uSecTime: | cut -d : -f2`

#Count the length in characters of the title
size=`echo $title | wc -c`
#Calculate current position within that length
poscol=$(echo "$pos*$maxcol/$len" | bc)

#Printing
for (( i=0; i<$maxcol; i++ ))
do
  if [ $i -eq $poscol ]; then
    echo -n 'O'
  else
    echo -n '='
  fi
done

Now for the final bit. Open up synaptic and get the file 'xmmsctrl'. Now you should be good.
