Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[CJ_Hudson]

Please, I am new to this thread so a couple of 'noob' questions (sorry if they've already been covered.)

- I have downloaded the packages, how do I actually run conky?
- How do I edit the conky file?

Thanks anyway.

Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_weather execution failed: /home/xiaolin/v9000/v9000.lua:982: attempt to call field '?' (a nil value)

no clue what i did wrong, i thought i just changed a cyan.png line that wasn't commented out

line 982 in v9000

_G.weather_script()

it looks like you have done something to the weather script so that v9000 no longer recognizes it

i would go back to the archive and get the s11template.lua again

dont do anything drastic
just put -- in front of the lines that contain the image calls like this

-- line
-- image({x=205,y=5,w=1,h=260,file="/home/sector11/Conky/images/cyan-1.png"})

Maybe you could post the files you have so we can tell what you need to do as there are several versions and styles of Conky.

As far as editing them so you can have things just the way you like. Geany is a really good tool for doing this.

I'm a linux newb myself, but have been help beyond my expectations by the members here. Once they latch onto a problem, they don't like to let go until it is solved.

As a newb it was all pretty hard to fathom, but with their help I got my conky lua looking way cool.

Thanks for the tip about -- I will definitely make more backups, and not edit as much. I'll be back in a couple of days, hopefully with weather implemented in the revised NightDrive.

Hi XiaolinDraconis

If you want to continue using those "lines" here's the archive. They are simply 1x1pixel images of different colours. I use them for two purposes.

1. When using an image with transparent backgrounds you can't see the edges to judge exactly where the image might be. Example - weather images:

1. the sun sits dead centre of the image,
2. thunderstorms go from top to bottom but not the full width
3. fog sits near the bottom of the image.

So I test with these set to the weather image size to see the limits:


2. then I use them for lines as you have seen in the script you are using, both horizontal and vertical.

Then just edit the lines in the LUA script to match where you put them:

image({x=205,y=5,w=1,h=260,file="/home/USERNAME/PATH/TO_IMAGE/cyan-1.png"})

Enjoy!

Question: Could you show the script for your conky's?

I'm more interested in the weather conky you have (at least until arclance's conkyWeather is capable of being re-sized fairly easy).

I spend more time on computer than I do watching the TV.
I travel by city bus right now so weather info is extremely important down here in Central Florida.

Thanks

arclance: Is there a way to just have the weather radar, apart from the rest of of your conkyWeather. Same size as in your conkyWeather?

Hi AndyOpie150,
Thanks for the attention. I do not want to do anything fancy with Conky, I just want my CPU temp and load, case temp and RAM load, fan speed etc. i.e. something like CPUZ (CPU ID) in Windows but for Ubuntu. I also have an idea about building an Arduino USB module with lights/dials to indicate CPU temp (for the purpose of overclocking the CPU.) Any hints and tips gratefully recieved.

P.S. Please see my other thread here

Cross between VinDSL and v9000 conky. On the left is the music and lyrics of current playing song, with album cover and controls below that! My favorite look so far. I'm quite sure the 'addiction' will consume me again in a couple of hours and I'll be 'compelled' to change it again!!!
Beware conky addiction....

For conky addicts there is a One Step Program:

We admitted we were powerless over conky, and LOVE IT!

You're in good company Jed! And your conky is SUPER!

Can you post the code and scripts for that please.
