New desktop with KDE 4.3 in Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 4.
I'm glad to finally be back with KDE. KDE 4.3 is working really well and Karmic is a major improvement on my eeePC 1000HA.

I didn't like the Folder View at first, but it is very convenient and is definitely growing on me.

Is that transparent terminal part of Compiz or is it something different?

I'm using Devilspie to draw the transparent terminal.


Transparent gnome-terminal: devilspie (http://foosel.org/linux/devilspie)I'm actually displaying the configuration file for the transparent terminal in the last screen-shot.

Here is my terminal-transparent-bg.ds file. (the file you see displayed in the last screenshot)

ADD THE REPOSITORY PUBLIC KEY


wget -q http://www.kaivalagi.com/ubuntu/ppa/m-buck-conky-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
UPDATE YOUR REPOSITORY LIST AND INSTALL CONKY FROM PPA


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conky
DOWNLOAD .CONKYRC CONFIG FILE

You can create your own, no need to download this one, but it is already configured for this set up.


cd && wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/83257/.conkyrcNOTE: The .conkyrc file above will be downloaded to your home directory.


DOWNLOAD SCRIPTS

The following command does this:

* Changes to your home directory

* Creates a 'scripts' directory in your home directory. ~/scripts/

* Changes to 'scripts' directory

* Downloads the scripts 'conkyscripts.zip'. (using wget to download the file)

* Extracts the contents of 'conkyscripts' . This creates a folder in your home directory. ~/conkyscripts/

* Copies the contents of ~/conkyscripts/ to ~/scripts/

* Removes the downloaded zip file and the directory that was created when extracting.


cd && mkdir scripts && cd scripts && wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/83257/conkyscripts.zip && unzip conkyscripts.zip && rm conkyscripts.zip && mv conkyscripts/*.* ~/scripts/ && rm -rf conkyscriptsYou should now have the following in ~/scripts/

conditions.sh
gmail_parser.py
hddmonit.sh
pogodynka.sh

NOTE: After downloading and extracting the scripts above, you will see a script called pogodynka.sh You will want to replace it with an English version found here http://pogodynka.fluxboxpl.org/pogodynka/pogodynka_0.4-2.tar.gz Afer you extract the compressed file it will create a folder called 'usr'. Look in there and go to /bin/pogodynka and replace the old file with this one.


DOWNLOAD THE FONTS

The following command does this:

* Changes to your home directory

* Downloads the fonts 'conkysfonts.zip' (using wget to download the file)

* Extracts the contents of 'conkyfonts.zip'. This creates a folder in your home directory ~/conkyfonts/

* Copies the contents of ~/conkyfonts/ to ~/.fonts/ (if you do not have a ~/.fonts/ then go ahead and make one)

* Removes the downloaded zip file and the directory that was created when extracting.


cd && wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/83257/conkyfonts.zip && unzip conkyfonts.zip && cp ~/conkyfonts/*.* ~/.fonts/ && rm -rf ~/conkyfonts && rm conkyfonts.zipYou should now have the following in ~/.fonts/

openlogos.ttf
PIZZADUDEBULLETS.ttf
PIZZADUDESTARS.ttf
Radiofb.ttf
Radiofi.ttf
Radiofbi.ttf
Radiofc.ttf
Radiof.ttf
STYLBCC_.TTF
wef_____.ttf


SETUP

Now you will need to configure your .conkyrc file to work with the various scripts you downloaded and extracted. The first script is the gmail_parser.py that will display your gmail in your conky setup.


Gmail + Conky

Open your .conkyrc config file


gedit ~/.conkyrcFind this line:


${execpi 300 python ~/scripts/gmail_parser.py yourgmailusername yourgmailpassword 3}Edit yourgmailusername and yourgmailpassword with your username and password.

NOTE: The password and username are NOT encrypted. If you do not plan to use gmail with this config, just delete the line above.


Install python-feedparser


sudo apt-get install python-feedparser
HDD temp and CPU temp + Conky

Install hddtemp and lm-sensors


sudo apt-get install hddtemp lm-sensorsNOTE: Once the installion of 'hddtemp' starts you will be asked a series of questions. If you are not sure about any of them, select 'Yes' or the default on each question.


Weather + Conky

This part will configure your conky setup to display the current weather conditions for your area. What you will do here is get the Location ID for your area and edit the pogodynka.sh with your Location ID.

Go to this link http://weather.yahoo.com/

Get the Location ID for your area by entering your city or zipcode in the box labled 'Enter city or zip code:'

A weather page for your area will load. The URL will be similar to this: http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USTN0017.html Copy the location ID (for me it would be USTN0017)

Now you will edit your pogodynka.sh. For the pogodynka.sh script to work, you need to put your Location ID into the script


gedit ~/scripts/pogodynka.shSearch for kod=USID0025

Replace the ID with yours.

NOTE: If you would rather use Celsius instead of Farenheit you will need to do the following:

Find the line:


w3m -dump http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/"$kod".html | grep -A21 "Current" | sed 's/DEG/°/g' > $plikReplace it with this:


w3m -dump http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/"$kod"_c.html | grep -A21 "Current" | sed 's/DEG/°/g' > $plikSave pogodynka.sh

Create a file called 'weather' in your home directory.


$cd && touch weatherGo ahead and make the file executionable by using chmod 777 pogodynka.sh (Or right-click pogodynka.sh and select Properties -> Permissions -> Execute)


Customize your .conkyrc

The default .conkyrc monitors eth1 for the network. I had to change it to wlan0. You can change the following to match whatever interface you are using.


${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}v${font} Up: ${upspeed wlan0} Kb/s
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}r${font} Down: ${downspeed wlan0} Kb/s
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}M${font} Upload: ${totalup wlan0}
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}S${font} Download: ${totaldown wlan0}
Add conky to Start Up Application (Will load after logging in)

Create a script called conky_start.sh in your home directory


$cd && touch conky_start.sh && chmod +x conky_start.sh && gedit conky_start.shCopy and paste the following into the new file and save.


#!/bin/bash
sleep 15 &&
exec conky -d -c ~/.conkyrc &
exitGo to System -> Preferences -> Start Up Applications

Click Add and name it whatever you like.

Add the command

You can either browse and select ~/conky_start.sh or type it in.

Thanks a TON for posting that tutorial exodus_ms. I really appreciate it.

I had issues setting up the Weather portion of Conky though. It seems that yahoo weather no longer gives you the key in the url any more, so I'm not sure where to get that. You can still punch in the url with the keys, like you gave me, but they are changed upon serving the page to the client.

Also, my pogodynka.sh script didn't have a kod field for the id. I even manually searched through the whole thing and couldn't find anything relevant to a key.

exodus_ms
December 15th, 2009, 08:52 AM
bbqsauced,

Sorry about that. The "kod" is actually "code". Your using the English version of the script, so look for "code". For me it was on line 32.


31 ## Default location code
32 CODE="PLXX0028"About the link used for grabbing your weather info. It appears yahoo has changed the format. This might be more trouble than what it is worth, but I believe I have found a way to make it work.

Go to http://www.aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx

This site will resolve the location you enter and give you a location ID.

When I type Knoxville, I get a list of possible locations. All of these locations are in the format we need. In this example USTN0268 is the ID for Knoxville.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_xugXSvvju-U/Syc73mNMddI/AAAAAAAABI4/sRh2P8l-g1g/s800/weatherID.png

Now, if I use that ID with the link http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USTN0268.html (http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USTN0268.html) it will still take me to the Knoxville page, but the URL changes to http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/tennessee/knoxville-2433662/

We need the "old" ID [for me USTN0268] not the new one Yahoo is using [knoxville-2433662]. The script is expecting the URL to be in a certain form, more specifically the ID needs to be in the format above. But since the URL still resolves to the same place, we can continue using the ID in the form the script is expecting. I hope that makes sense.

Long story short. You need the ID for your location but using Yahoo to get that ID produces an ID that is not compatible with the script. You use the other site to generate an ID that is compatible. All there is left to do is look for "code" and plug the ID in.

Awesome, worked like a charm. The temperature came out in Celsius even though it was actually in Fahrenheit. (There's no way its 49 C here haha)

Just changed an option in pogodynka.sh from C to F and everything looks good.

Thanks again!

FINALLY!!! After almost 2 whole days of searching i have managed to get ALMOST everything working...I just cant seem to get an icon (read as weather font letter) to appear with the temperature. I have weather installed and it still does not apply any sort of icon to the temperature for pogodynka.... Any one else with same problem or a solution?

I have the same problem with the weather icon not showing up. I have the weather icon installed correctly and have checked the scripts but can't find the problem. Oh ya, I am getting the correct weather information printed though, just not the weather icon.

Thread seems to be on life support, but whatevs...

First one's the idle desktop, the second shows that sweet, sweet mintmenu on ubuntu, and the third shows what it looks like when i'm "working". Overall, I just wanted a pleasant and somewhat pro looking theme I could work with day-to-day that I wouldn't have to switch out at work, at a meeting, etc...

theme: Gruenstich (GTK and Emerald -- this is a great theme, like really)
icons: ACYL (except for a few here and there, pretty comprehensive)

Firefox theme is "rein" with Tree Style Tabs and a little chrome tweakage...

Wallpaper is from a friend, but i'm pretty sure she didn't actually make it.

There're some great ones posted here, hope mine passes muster:)

EDIT: (oops! forgot to blur the 2nd one. Oh well...)

Sorry if this is a bit OT but most seem to favor object docks. Is it because of functionality or because it makes the desktop less cluttered?

Thanks!

As for the dock, I'd say it's a bit of both--I like how the functions of the taskbar, indicator applet, and workspace switcher can be merged into a tight, easy-to-see package. (I'm not really in to big, shiny docks.) I chose AWN because it retains all the functionality of the objects I replaced, and it was the easiest to customize to look understated, with a minimum of flashiness.

I used to use the DockBarX panel applet--which is also pretty great, but sometimes it was just too small (I like a thin panel).

Well i dont wonder about the dock anymore. Installed cairo dock and started to configure around. I have tested docks last time some years ago and they were not stable or good at the time. It's entirely different story now!

Put together this:

...With minimalism in mind. Ubuntu top and bottom menu bars are there but only visible if i go and click in the corners. The dock takes care of everything now.

Hello all!! My name is WarTribe, well, that's my username here anyway. I'm in Columbia, TN and I've been using Ubuntu for about 5 years now.

The wallpaper is from Alchemy Gothic and the programs I have on my desktop are chromium, banshee, skype, libreoffice writer, terminal, USC, ubuntu one, home folder and the desktop icon. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 but I've used Ubuntu Studio and Linux Mint in the past. Here's my screenshot.
