Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

**Lostincyberspace** · August 22nd, 2008

like I said wireless is almost always already set wlan0 to see if it is run iwconfig in a terminal.
And you should be able to replace eth1 or what ever you have now with wlan0.

so instead of

Code:

${if_up eth1}${color #696969}Ethernet: $alignr${color}${addr eth1}

replace it with

Code:

${if_up wlan0}${color #696969}Ethernet: $alignr${color}${addr wlan0}

If that does not work right, make sure you are connected up to the lan through your wireless and then run ifconfig and post the out put from that here.

Yes you can define colors above the TEXT line, with these commands:

Code:

default_color white
color0 cyan
color1 lightblue
color2 orange
color3 yellow
color4 wheat
color5 salmon
color6 red
color7 DarkCyan
color8 Brown
color9 grey

Now your default colour is white, or anything you choose.
To change a specific line or command:

Code:

${color2}command$color

${color2} will change the color to orange until it sees $color which will turn orange off and go back to your default color.

Have a nice day.

I'm using 1.0. I'll try that tonight.

This doesn't (rather probably doesn't) effect the blinking but if you remove the line in red, both conky's will start at the same time. Also, add a second "&" after the first conky line.

Guys, with this setup, the conkytime doesnt show? I want the time in the middle of the sceen. Something is wrong , because when i start de second conky, i get the default screen of conky......

Part of your problem is this code... it has two TEXT lines in there with configuration commands mixed with TEXT output.

Also the -e command in your startconky is not a valid command. Take it out or change it to -d

Hope this helps.

Ah, that got it - I just had to change the dbus-send call in your script with what you posted, and it works:

case "$1" in

Yep that did the trick!! Thx for the help

Now i need to find out how to get the time in the top center of the screen.

My guess now is you have edited the default conky and start it with a simple "conky" command.

1. Does it start automatically when you boot?

2. What command do you use to start your?

Have a nice day.

EDIT: Romanian would be a great addition.

Hi, again,
As I promised, please find attached Romanian addition for kaivalagi's puthon script. Please inform him accordingly.... Have a nice weekend!
