Thanky you Kerry_S, Pretty much exactly how i wanted it <3
I like this thread because then people can take and give ideas/parts of their conkyrc.

[BOBSONATOR]

Where is the conky.rc file?

Great thread guys!

[tturrisi]

Where is the conky.rc file?

Great thread guys!
There is none made at install, you must make your own by copying to your home dir. The sample stock .conkyrc is located at:
/usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz
rename to .conkyrc and move to your home dir.

for trial & error configuring, use system monitor to kill the conky process & use a shell to start it after editing the conkyrc.

This is a fantastic little program.. I do have one question My text is rather blinky on updates.. Any way to limit the blinking?

[OffHand]

add this to your conkyrc file:


# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

Open up the Xorg configuration file (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf) with your favourite text editor, and find the line that says:
Section "Module"
Then, after that line, add:
Load "dbe"
Restart Xorg (my preferred method is the good-ole control+alt+backspace) and enjoy.

[shining]

You need to enable double buffering both in conkyrc (double_buffer yes) and in xorg.conf (Load "dbe" in Section "Module")

[FreakinSyco]

hey, guys, nice Conky's, will use some of those things combined, but does anybody know how to get text within a graph, I've seen some screenies with text in them, do you have to use multiple conky's for that?

Thnx anyways, Casper

Could you please use thumbnails instead of full images for the sake of those who either have no broadband connection or limited traffic volume?

Would be very nice from you, thanks in advance.

np. just did. cant stand the file size restriction on png tho. makes it impossible to upload a 1440x900 screens.

Quite a simple one for me:

Anthony Haslam, I love the LCD look of your conky.

Thanks. I can't say that I was going for an LCD look, just simplicity, but I see it now ;)

It would be even cooler if you could throw a drop shadow on the text and have it still be readable (probably impossible)

You could change the default text colour ;)

I like conky, but I like to keep it minimal. I dig a desktop that looks like a picture, without a lot of clutter and stuff.

You'll have to look close to get an idea of it. Basically it's a two-line summary with everything I need centered at the bottom of the screen. Uppercase, outlined, 7-point (yes, 7-point) sans.

The only downside is that with it centered like that, it tends to shift slightly as the numbers change; no doubt I could get that fixed if I really cared.

By the way, that's Conky 1.4.4-1 out of feisty. I have to run the edgy kernel since I use an RT61 wireless card on that machine, and I can't be bothered to rebuild the drivers. [-(

[bugz0r]

How can I get conky to look like this, font and all?

This is a good place to start.

Conky runs off a text file, which you can edit to show exactly what you want in that picture ... plus more or minus less, as you like.

Very nice wallpaper & classy conky ;)

Is that your famous Openbox setup?

Thanks. That's the one -- Grub to desktop in 27 seconds. :shock:

I didn't realize it was famous ... but I guess the guide did get dugg, which in some circles is almost famous. :D

The wallpaper, by the way, came from http://www.interfacelift.com ...

I want it without the black background,how is it possible ?

Post your conkyrc file blonder. Thats the only to know what errors where made.

How can i get the Weather zip code from Berlin/germany ?
And from where can i get the script ?

[OffHand]

Thank you but my conkyrc was also transparent

Errrmmm lol :rolleyes:


I want it without the black background,how is it possible ?

[blonder]

yes its now another conkyrc

[brohan]

I went a bit over the top with external scripts and such, but they allow me to highlight stuff.

I looked at using xft, but then the cpugraph looks out of place and conky eats up a whole 2% if my cpu (I wouldn't normally care, but conky shows itself eating up so much :P)

# Shellscript: wordwrap - wrap lines on word boundaries
# Author : Heiner Steven <heiner.steven@odn.de>
# Date : 2001-12-10
# Requires :
# Category : Text Utilities
# SCCS-Id. : @(#) wordwrap 1.4 04/09/24
################################################## ########################
# Description
# A very simple text formatting program. The input is read
# word by word. All words are joined using a space (ASCII
# 32) character. If "-j" was specified, each line is
# filled up to the maximum line length, or the next empty
# line before it is printed. Each continued line can be
# offset by a number of blanks.
#
# Note
# o Leading whitespace is ignored
# o An AWK program actually formats the input. It is written in
# a way to be portable to a wide range of AWK dialects.
# o thanks for Samus-Aran for suggesting the "-l" option
#
# Caveats
# o Should have an option for keeping whitespace inbetween words

if you need to remember the import command, you can just 'Ctrl-r' it and start writting import to see when you've used import in the past. you can keep pressing 'Ctrl-r' to scroll through all the times you've used it. :)

edit, just press tab to select it

Alrighty, I finally got it mostly the way I want; I still end up hunting for new things that I might want to add; but no big deal.

The only thing I gotta say, is WOW is it addictive to play around with these configurations and settings, it's great! Pretty simple layout, I took the base from one of the posts in here, modified some of the stuff that I wanted displayed, colors, etc, but this works for me.

hi, i think it's the two lines above which cause the misalignment. it's to do with using xftfont.

My conky has the bar across the top. How do I get rid of that? Every screenshot I see doesn't have the bar.

*edit:
Never mind, using fluxbox, just loaded it in to startup, and logged out and back in.

Nice stuff!!!

total n00b here.

my .conkyrc uses two scripts which i've frankensteined from various persons posting to this thread (see attached):


one for a calendar

and another for weather

i have a few things left to do, and would be most grateful were someone willing to advise me.

first, i'd like to indent the complete output of a script, if possible. any indentation, tabbing, aligning et al of the calendar script, for example, only affects the first line, and the script file itself is, at present, beyond my abilities to manipulate to my visual satisfaction.

second, i'd like to include xml text from google calendar, most likely by way of an rss script. a direct call to google calendar xml via the rss script(s) posted in this thread displays in one single looooooooong line, however, which leads me to believe that a stylesheet is necessary. alas, stylesheets too are beyond my humble means.

calendar stuff is important to me because i'm using xubuntu, and the calendar function therein (orage) is ... ... ... still in development, it seems.

any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Here's a minimalist conky - just gives me the hard data without taking up crazy amounts of CPU time with bars and graphs.



#alignment - Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right, or none
alignment bottom_left

#background - Boolean value, if true, Conky will be forked to background when started
background yes

#border_margin - Border margin in pixels
border_margin 9

#border_width - Border width in pixels
border_width 10

#cpu_avg_samples - The number of samples to average for CPU monitoring

#default_color - Default color and border color
default_color blue

#default_outline_color - Default outline color

#default_shade_color - Default shading color and border's shading color

#double_buffer - Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker) It is highly recommended to use own window with this one
#so double buffer won't be so big.
double_buffer yes

#draw_borders - Draw borders around text?
draw_borders no

#draw_graph_borders - Draw borders around graphs?

#draw_outline - Draw outlines?
draw_outline no

#draw_shades - Draw shades?
draw_shades no

#font - Font name in X, xfontsel can be used to get a nice font

#gap_x - Gap, in pixels, between right or left border of screen, same as passing -x at command line, e.g. gap_x 10
gap_x 0

#gap_y - Gap, in pixels, between top or bottom border of screen, same as passing -y at command line, e.g. gap_y 10.
gap_y 15

#imap - Default global IMAP server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval] [-f folder] [-p port] [-e command]".
#Default port is 143, default folder is 'INBOX', default interval is 5 minutes. If the password is supplied as '*'
#you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

#mail_spool - Mail spool for mail checking

#max_port_monitor_connections - Allow each port monitor to track at most this many connections (if 0 or not set, default is 256)
#max_specials - Maximum number of special things, e.g. fonts, offsets, aligns, etc. (default is 512)
#max_user_text bytes - Maximum size of user text buffer, i.e. layout below TEXT line in config file (default is 16384 bytes)

#maximum_width pixels - Maximum width of window

#minimum_size width (height) - Minimum size of window


#mpd_host - Host of MPD server
#mpd_port - Port of MPD server
#mpd_password - MPD server password

#own_window - Boolean, create own window to draw?
own_window yes

#own_window_transparent - Boolean, set pseudo-transparency?
own_window_transparent yes

#own_window_type - if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop or override (default: normal).
#Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop;
#do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Override windows are not under
#the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.
own_window_type override

#own_window_colour colour - If own_window_transparent no, set a specified background colour (defaults to black).
#Takes either a hex value (#ffffff) or a valid RGB name (see /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt)


#own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_p ager - If own_window is yes, you may use these
#window manager hints to affect the way Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement
#many of these hints implicitly. If you use own_window_type override, window manager hints have no meaning and are ignored.
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

#out_to_console - Print text to stdout.

#pad_percents - Pad percentages to this many decimals (0 = no padding)

#pop3 - Default global POP3 server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval] [-p port] [-e command]".
#Default port is 110, default interval is 5 minutes. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to
#enter the password when Conky starts.

#stippled_borders - Border stippling (dashing) in pixels
stippled_borders 3

#total_run_times - Total number of times for Conky to update before quitting. Zero makes Conky run forever

#update_interval - Update interval in seconds

use_spacer yes

#use_xft - Use Xft (anti-aliased font and stuff)
use_xft yes

#wm_class_name - Manually set the WM_CLASS name. Defaults to "conky".

#xftalpha - Alpha of Xft font. Must be a value at or between 1 and 0.
xftalpha 0.8

[phaedOne]

Heres my new one. This one is horizontal. Made for screen width of 1440 .

on the screen shot notice the space between the kernel version and the word "Processors". its not really spaces but a void, the text left of that space is left aligned, and the rest is right aligned. this preserves the line's fully-justified look while allowing for small fluctuations on the string.

You're using both eth1 and eth0.

Down: ${downspeed eth0} k/s ${offset 110}Up: ${upspeed eth0} k/s
Is that how you want it?

[oveh]

Yes.
But if it's possible that conky only showed the info for the activ connection I prefered that:)

update: up and running, i will post my pic/.conkyrc when i'm finished customizing :)

[thelastknowngod]

hey guys... ive been trying to set up conky the way i want it and i am sorta finished. the one thing i wanted was a calendar which i have not really seen too often. here is the script i found to do so...



#! /bin/sh
#str=`echo '\033[01;32m29'`

DATE=`date | awk -F" " '{print $3}'`

case "$1" in
first_part)
cal | grep '[a-zA-Z]';
cal | grep -v '[a-zA-Z]' | grep '[0-9]' | awk -F$DATE ' BEGIN {i=0}
($1 == $0 && i==0) {print $1}
($1 != $0 && i==0){i=i+1;print $1}';
;;
today)
echo $DATE;
;;
second_part)
cal | grep -v '[a-zA-Z]' | grep '[0-9]' | awk -F$DATE ' BEGIN {i=1}
(i==0) {print $0}
($1 != $0 && i==1){i=i-1;print $2}
';
;;
esac


when i run conky with this referenced in my .conkyrc file the numbers for the days are not in the right columns. the same goes for my listed processes and mem usage. here is my .conkyrc.

[~LoKe]

I'm running both Conky and Beryl, and right now, Conky is flickering? How can I get it to...stop flickering?

[thelastknowngod]

add this to your conkyrc file:


# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

Open up the Xorg configuration file (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf) with your favourite text editor, and find the line that says:
Section "Module"
Then, after that line, add:
Load "dbe"
Restart Xorg (my preferred method is the good-ole control+alt+backspace) and enjoy.

That's right! Thanks!

Mine's a Frankenstein of various configs and styles posted here.

Anyone know how I can get rid of the boxes on the Slashdot RSS?

Also, if you notice the terminal - I have to leave it open when I execute conky, otherwise conky is terminated if I close the terminal. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Also, if you notice the terminal - I have to leave it open when I execute conky, otherwise conky is terminated if I close the terminal. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

try this in the terminal:

conky &

[tyeracj41]

Actually, I found the executable in /usr/bin. So you don't even need to use the terminal. Thanks though!

[likerice]

you should also be able to have conky run automagically at start-up by creating a start-up script in services.

a simpler solution would be to login, run conky, and then logout while saving the "current session" (this works on xfce for xubuntu, and should work as well in gnome).

[K.Mandla]

You can also add


conky &
to the .xinitrc file in your home directory.

[featherking]

i wrote a script to display the current ssid of you network:


iwconfig eth1 | grep -i essid | cut -d"\"" -f2
Replace eth1 with whatever your wifi interface is then save and make it executable.

Then in your conky add a line somewhere like this:

SSID:$alignr${execi 300 /home/chris/.local/essid.sh}

Modify that path to point to the file you saved previously. Then restart conky enjoy!

[stalker145]

My conky at the moment... seems that I can't quite figure out how to keep the fortune within the left lateral limits of my design. If anyone can point out the error of my ways, I would greatly appreciate it.
It's not original, nor is it pretty, but this mutt's mine :)

For my weather stuff you actually need two files paste the first into a file called weather.sh and put it somewhere, then edit your conky to include a line like the bold line in my conky, change the number at the end of the line to your zip code (that line checks weather every 5 minutes), in the weather.sh you need to edit the RUNDIR (also bold)

weather.sh -->

#!/bin/sh

#
# Grab weather data from weather.com and format it according to the given XSLT
# Script written by boojit
# Modified by Hellf[i]re
# The orignal script and xslt can be downloaded from http://pondol.com/weather.tar.gz

# Usage:
# ${execi 1800 /path/to/weather/weather.sh location}
# Usage Example:
# ${execi 1800 /home/user/weather/weather.sh 03833}

# your Location ID: use http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=[yourcity] to find it
# U.S. users can just use their zip code; doubt that works for anyone else though (YMMV)
LOCID=$1

# s=standard units, m=metric units
UNITS=s

# where this script and the XSLT lives
RUNDIR=/home/featherking/.local

# there's probably other stuff besides CURL that will work for this, but i haven't
# tried any others.
# you can get curl at http://curl.haxx.se/
CURLCMD=/usr/bin/curl

# get it at http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
XSLTCMD=/usr/bin/xsltproc

# you probably don't need to modify anything below this point....

# CURL url. Use cc=* for current forecast or dayf=10 to get a multi-day forecast
CURLURL="http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/$LOCID?cc=*&unit=$UNITS&dayf=2"

# The XSLT to use when translating the response from weather.com
# You can modify this xslt to your liking
XSLT=$RUNDIR/weather.xslt

#filter (if you want to convert stuff to lower-case or upper case or something)
#FILTER="|gawk '{print(tolower(\$0));}'"


#####
eval "$CURLCMD \"$CURLURL\" 2>/dev/null| $XSLTCMD $XSLT - $FILTER"


the second file is called weather.xslt. copy the below and save as that and put in the same dir as your weather.sh. You shouldnt need to edit anything in the .xslt i added some spaces throughout to format it a little better because i couldnt figure it out any other way.

weather.xslt -->

<!--

This XSLT is used to translate an XML response from the weather.com
XML API.

You can format this file to your liking. Two things you may feel
like doing:

1) Modify the layout of the fields or static text already defined
2) Add other fields from the XML response file that aren't referenced in this
XSLT. You can grab a full list by just doing a:
wget "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/$LOCID?cc=*&unit=$UNITS"
(change $LOCID and $UNITS to suit your needs)

You *may* also need to 'apt-get install curl', curl seems to function like wget - basically just downloads the xml from the weather.com site.

I know that is a lot of text but its really simple, copy and paste and save those two files, edit a few lines and add a line in your conky. Let me know how it works for you

EDIT: you need to make 'weather.sh' executable too, forgot to put that (you can right click on it go to properties > permissions > check 'execute' box)

thx, and again, let me know if you get probs with that weather script stuff

No problems with the scripts. Good instructions and easy to follow. Once I figure out how to post thumbnails on here I will attach an image of my progress thus far. My next project is to use the pop3_unseen variable to use. I think I will use the gmail.pl ~ script I found via Google as a starting point and see if I can figure out how to pass the arguments to conky. Once I figure it out successfully I will post the code here.

Took me a while to get the way I like but now it's worth it.

Does anyone know if conky supports a tinted transparent background instead of just fully transparent? (like most terminal programs do) My wallpaper changes randomly and it is difficult to see the text depending on the dominant color used in the image.

I am not sure which item to edit for translucency, but a good place to start might be "own_window_transparent yes"

P.S. I had to spin the cube a lot to get the CPU graph to be interesting :p

[dorcssa]

Does anyone know if conky supports a tinted transparent background instead of just fully transparent? (like most terminal programs do) My wallpaper changes randomly and it is difficult to see the text depending on the dominant color used in the image.

That's why I always change the userbar color, and don't choose white background. :)

[wh0rd]

I'm trying to figure out how to make conky stick to the desktop even when you press the show desktop button?

[likerice]

can you post your .conkyrc file?

i would guess that you have conky in its own window. there's an option in the rc file that goes something like: "draw conky in its own window" to which you should insert "no" to achieve the desired effect.

...i think.

[yabbadabbadont]

That's why I always change the userbar color, and don't choose white background. :)

As I stated in my post, the wallpaper changes randomly. Actually, it changes every five minutes and randomly selects a new image from a collection of over 50,000 images... So it is a bit difficult to insure the dominant color of the background. :D

I guess I'll have to start hacking on the conky code to see how it handles background colors. I can probably pull the background tinting and shading code out of the Eterm source and adapt it for conky.

Oh, I haven't thought you mean that randomly. :mrgreen:

Here's mine :)

[PartisanEntity]

Could someone explain to a newb how to write the pop3 entry in conky? From the conky site I found this:


Default global POP3 server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval] [-p port] [-e command]". Default port is 110, default interval is 5 minutes. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

But I am not sure how to actually write that in the .conkyrc file?

Thank you

It's nice. Where have you found that background? It's beautiful!

[Andifferous]

Thank you
I made it originally for my gf, who loves killer whales (yes I know there are none there, lol). I had done this with some of the Flaming Pear filters that I had installed into Photoshop 7, I was probably using my windows partition so I could do a stats assignment for class, and I was likely stoned when I made the bg.
I started using the bg when my computer mysteriously at one I had of Tux as a borg.

[Andifferous]

Depends on how you would like to do it, I used words like "steel blue" and "grey", but you could use varying degrees such as "grey90" or html colors like "#FFF000"

[Andifferous]

Looks good, I like the colour manipulation that you did on the Dawn of Ubuntu background... hehe Dusk of Ubuntu.
I mentioned how to define the colours a minute ago to your question. I would like to ask how you changed the colour on the gnome panel. I can do it, but things like my notification area, or my menu bar don't take on the colours, they will stay the system default. I have tried even adding those things after changing the colour of gnome panel and still don't get desired results.

[PartisanEntity]

I am trying to remember if I did anything special but I don't think so, I simply right-clicked on the panels and changed their colours using the eye dropper as well as playing around with the opacity. I also used one of the how-to's here to change the font colour of the panels. That's all really.

[featherking]

@Andifferous
Search the forums for a file called gtkrc. it might be '.gtkrc-2.0' but that is where you can change panel color. If you are using edgy you can use a program called 'gnome-color-chooser' it can be found here (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2038917&postcount=4). It doesnt work in dapper though, due to many dependency issues

[PartisanEntity]

Andifferous if you were refering to the font colour then this is (http://http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47776) the how to I used. But since you said panel colour I was not sure what you meant.

sudo apt-get install conky
~/.conkyrc is the configuration file. It's called ".conkyrc" and it's located in your home folder. Typing "gksudo gedit ~/.conkyrc" will let you edit the configuration file.

Quite right. I have a bad habit of using sudo, mainly because most other files I edit require super user permissions, and I hate having to close, reopen and modify again.

Maybe someone can help. I'm trying to get color to work with my weather script.

Here's a little snip from weather.xslt:

Humidity: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="hmid"/><xsl:text>%</xsl:text>
I'd like the values after "Humidity:" to have a color, say, #95956B. How would I go about doing this?

Here is mine... Conky rules, by the way.

I have just installed conky and want a script for a one line conky with up/down, ddate, and the time.

This will mean I can do away with my dockapp clock.

something just occurred to me, conky will ping the processor perhaps every second or a little more, doesn't that put unnecessary load on the processor? How does this constant pinging of the system affect system health? Hard disks for example, etc?

This is conky playing nice with beryl, thanks to this thread and its contributions.

Here is my conky setup. Its pretty light and got nothing spetacular though. The conky window tend to flicker some times, i dont know how to fix that..suggestions sombody?

The conky window tend to flicker some times, i dont know how to fix that..suggestions sombody?

I used this HowTo (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1194508&postcount=1) in my setup and it fixed the blinking. Basically you're enabling "double_buffer" in the .conkyrc file and "load dbe" in xorg.conf. Those two items stopped the blinking on my computers, so hopefully it fixes your's as easily.

can anyone give me a hand. I want to switch from gdesklets to conky but in most of the examples I see there is normally only 1 or 2 hard drive monitors. I have 4 or 5 I want to monitor. I have attached a picture of my current gdesklets setup and would like a similat conky. the colors as well if that's possible. can anyone help maybe???

quite simple & small, because my screen is small :)
by the way i couldn't make my acpitemp get worked, any ideas?

[stalker145]

My new and, ummm, improved (?) Conky for my server. Dunno why, probably because my laptop is almost dead and now I have to sit in front of a desktop and need something to look at ;)


can anyone give me a hand... would like a similat conky. the colors as well if that's possible. can anyone help maybe???

Well, mine sure has a few HDD monitors. As for the colors, it's all guessing (to me) anyway.

Edit: Bah, can't believe i can't upload my file without a file extension :( well, it was an easy enough change :)

[chomafin]

Here is mine, it has been shameless stolen from this thread and then modified from many googlings.
Gmail Script was taken from Brohan's Blog (http://brohan.ca/archives/281)

For Gmail script to work, few things need to be done
You need to have python & ruby installed, then also need to create an empty file for the ruby script, then because I'm lazy wget the files from brohan, and get the feedparser python module.

note: you will need to go into the .gmail.py script and change your user/password.


sudo apt-get install ruby python
touch /tmp/.gmailcount
sudo chmod +x /tmp/.gmailcount
wget http://brohan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/gmail | mv gmail ~/.gmail
wget http://brohan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/conkyhelper | mv conkyhelper ~/.conkyhelper.rb | sudo chmod +x .conkyhelper.rb

Here's mine at the moment. I'll probably tweak the colours a bit, maybe play around with fonts.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of that weird accented "A" character in my CPU temp readout? Or, failing that, How I can get acpitemp to work?

Oh, and to reiterate Spike-X's question: How to show degree symbol without weird accented A showing up?

[GSF1200S]

Ive got one post on here with my Gnome DE and Conky. This is KDE with Conky setup for dual cores, etc.

I still cant get conky to be transparent unless I change the background once after bootup. Ive given up.. noone seems to have any ideas :(

Enjoy,,,

PS. I wanted to include the cpu temp. Having lm-sensors installed & set up I used, "${i2c temp 2}" as I do in Zenwalk. This didn't work, am I missing something?

3 conky on the same desktop!! I would be very interested to learn how to do that.

Simply create a new conky config(ie. .conkyrc2)
Then in term type conky -c .conkyrc2

I typically copy my first .conkyrc and rename the copy to keep the font/color scheme similar, then edit the placement and of course the contents below TEXT. Hope it helps and may you soon have a multiple conky desktop too. =]

You could also modify your conky startup script to start all your conky scripts every boot. =]

im having another issue with displaying my date and time. Here is what is happening:
If i put the code in to diplay the time as "X:XX am/pm" everything is fine

well i wanted to add the "month day year" to show up just before the time and have it all right aligned

the problem is if I add
${alignr}${font blahblahblah:size}${code for date}${code for time}

it pushed the "am/pm" off of the screen no matter what spacing I put in

but if i put
${time %b %d %Y}${font blahblahblah:bold:size}${alignr}${time %l:%M %p}

the am/pm doesnt get pushed off the screen but (as you can tell) my date will not be aligned to the right next to the time, my date will be left aligned and my time will be right aligned. anyone able to help me out as to why it keeps pushing my am/pm off of the screen?

Hey jputman, I would try it like this:


${time %b %d %Y}${alignr}${font fontname:bold:size=12}${time %l:%M %p}${/font}

the code above should align the " ${time %l:%M %p} " part to the right side, along with it's embedded font/size/ and boldness. And hopefully, the rest of the line, (this part - " ${time %b %d %Y} ") should be aligned to your left, still using the default font and size. (I haven't tried it this way, and I don't know what your .conkyrc looks like, so I might be wrong)

But if they overlap in the middle, then you might want to adjust your maximum_width or the size of the default font and the embedded font size.


And if there is too much of a gap between your aligned right side, and the default left side, then you could try to offset it like the code below, or just use the space bar a few times before the " ${time %b %d %Y} " part to adjust it a bit.(it might be the cheating way):


${offset 12}${time %b %d %Y}${alignr}${font fontname:bold:size=12}${time %l:%M %p}${/font}

So I would guess, that the Month/Day/Year would now be 12 pixels to the right of the default left side, and your Hour/Minute/ and AM/PM would still be aligned to the right side. Now you can just adjust it by making the offset a different size.

Let me know if this works.

[dannyboy79]

does anyone know why or if conky will work with using Fiesty and enabling the Desktop Effects (ie beryl or compiz or whatever is built into fiesty under system, preferences) I have a .conkyrc file that was working but as soon as I enabled the desktop effects it doesn't show up anymore and I even still have conky in my session startup programs. also, can anyone point me to a good tuturial about editing the colors, font, and adding more hard drives gauges. I have 5 total hardd drives totaling 1.52 TB. Thanks

crimesaucer, thanks for all your help

that code you pasted above is actualy how i have it set right now. I want the both to be aligned to the right, but when i move the {alignr} in front of the date it moved it "too far" to the right and pushes the AM/PM off of the screen, i hope this is making sense, ill will post up a screenshot when i get back to my laptop after work, thanks for all the help again

Did you check your maximum_width setting in the upper part of your .conkyrc?


maximum_width 200

If it's set to maximum_width 200 , and if your whole line is larger (like equaling 250), then it will not show some of the line, like the AM/PM part.

You might of already done that. Also, try adjusting the sizes of your fonts. Both the default size, and the adjusted (embedded) font size.

As far as conky not displaying once you enable desktop effects, try starting conky after Beryl/Compiz starts. My conky startup script is like this to allow 20 seconds for my desktop(including Beryl) to finish loading before starting up my conky scripts.



#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && conky && conky -c .conkyaud && conky -c .conkytime;


For just your basic conkyrc script use this below and change the 20 to whatever to suit your desktop loading time



#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && conky;

@- notwen

That's really cool how you did Audacious and the time in the bottom corners. I might make a second script for some variables that I couldn't fit into my first script.

Thanks, those 2 conky configs down at the bottom corners work well w/ AWNs transparent bar along the bottom of my screen. No icons can be placed lower than my trash icon and temp folder due to the AWN transparent bar, so it works well since conky tends to cover up any icons it's placed over. I actually have /media drives under my main conky in the top right corner of my desktop. =] I expect to play w/ conky alot more, eventually find a small spot to keep the top cpu/mem processes, but I'm having issues w/ limiting the length of processes (character wise) so it's either screwing up alignment or pushing conky too far into my desktop for my liking.

You need to set up lm-sensors (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780) in order to get the CPU temp/motherboard/fan/etc.

And in case you're wondering...my hard drive's not 5GB, that's just my / partition :)

[crimesaucer]

... =] I expect to play w/ conky alot more, eventually find a small spot to keep the top cpu/mem processes, but I'm having issues w/ limiting the length of processes (character wise) so it's either screwing up alignment or pushing conky too far into my desktop for my liking.

If you look at my .conkyrc, I had the same problem with application names being too long because of the font I used, so I took the PID numbers off, and then made it so that my names were above the top mem, and top cpus processes, so now, even the longest application name could be written in full without moving the mem and cpu stats off screen.

I had found that in the original default .conkyrc's font and settings that I installed with, that the names bounced the stats around so it was difficult to read. So I made it my own way and fixed my problem.

My cpu and mem stats are now in the lines below the name (numbered), and always stay in the same place. It's even easier now because if I look at Firefox, the stat I'm looking for is directly below it, in a column. I have my top memory stats up top near my RAM, cached mem, and swap, and then I have my cpu down under my cpu graph, temp, and clocked speeds of cpu.

For example: Look at my number 2.) mem process. It's xfce4-screensho, that name would of bounced my stats out of the column and off the screen using the old way, but written like this:


2.) ${top_mem name 2}
mem %${offset 18}${top_mem mem 2}${offset 31}${alignc}cpu %${alignr 24}${top_mem cpu 2}

...I am able to read my stats in a perfect column under my app name.


As for my next script (like your multiple scripts), I'm trying to find out info about the tcp_portmon. I want to find out about the bit torrent settings and maybe make a separate conky file for just the bit torrent ports. Or maybe I'll do something else. I haven't used bit torrent on my xubuntu yet, but I'm planning on making the switch form my Xp's utorrent soon, I just have my utorrent on Windows super fast with my TCPsys patched and configured with a TCP/IP optimizer and I'm trying to find out how to have as fast of a torrent in Linux, then I'll put my stats on my desktop, using a conky script.

[OffHand]

Thanks, those 2 conky configs down at the bottom corners work well w/ AWNs transparent bar along the bottom of my screen. No icons can be placed lower than my trash icon and temp folder due to the AWN transparent bar, so it works well since conky tends to cover up any icons it's placed over. I actually have /media drives under my main conky in the top right corner of my desktop. =] I expect to play w/ conky alot more, eventually find a small spot to keep the top cpu/mem processes, but I'm having issues w/ limiting the length of processes (character wise) so it's either screwing up alignment or pushing conky too far into my desktop for my liking.

i posted his once, can onyone answer please or at least inform me if anyone else is using fiesty and conky and desktop effects??

does anyone know why or if conky will work with using Fiesty and enabling the Desktop Effects (ie beryl or compiz or whatever is built into fiesty under system, preferences) I have a .conkyrc file that was working but as soon as I enabled the desktop effects it doesn't show up anymore and I even still have conky in my session startup programs. also, can anyone point me to a good tuturial about editing the colors, font, and adding more hard drives gauges. I have 5 total hardd drives totaling 1.52 TB. Thanks

I have Beryl, and have used effects with this for Edgy, and Feisty. It was explained in this old "HOWTO": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865

I use xubuntu xfce4.4, and Berly AiGLX, so make sure you do what's right for your desktop that you use.

I answered your question a couple of posts up, you will need to make sure your desktop effects are running before you start conky. Enabling your desktop effects after conky is already started will cover conky. You will need to make a startup script using the code in my post from earlier. Do you leave your desktop effects enabled 24/7 or do you only use them every so often? Compiz/Beryl will have to be started before conky everytime, or you will need to 'killall conky' and restart conky after you enable your Desktop effects.

On both of your scripts, you don't end your first font with a closing "${font}"

On the first one, your code looks like this:


${font Dejavu Sans:size=12}${time %b %d %y}${font Dejavu Sans:bold:size=20}${alignr}${time %l:%M %p}${font}

I think it should look like this, all though it won't look aligned to the right, it will still be one part on the left side, and the last part aligned on the right side:


${font Dejavu Sans:size=12}${time %b %d %y}${font}${alignr}${font Dejavu Sans:bold:size=20}${time %l:%M %p}${font}

On your second one, your code looks like this:


${font Dejavu Sans:size=12}${alignr}${time %b %d %y}${font Dejavu Sans:bold:size=20}${time %l:%M %p}${font}

I think it should maybe look like this:


${alignr}${font Dejavu Sans:size=12}${time %b %d %y}${font}${font Dejavu Sans:bold:size=20}${time %l:%M %p}${font}

Try the second one (above this), with the ${alignr} starting it, first. That hopefully should work. The first one is not going to do what you want it to do, I just was showing where you need to close your font bracket at.

[mailbox]

i had the same problem, and closing the tags worked for me.
i'm facepalming right now, going 'i should have known that.'

[dannyboy79]

As far as conky not displaying once you enable desktop effects, try starting conky after Beryl/Compiz starts. My conky startup script is like this to allow 20 seconds for my desktop(including Beryl) to finish loading before starting up my conky scripts.



#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && conky && conky -c .conkyaud && conky -c .conkytime;


For just your basic conkyrc script use this below and change the 20 to whatever to suit your desktop loading time



#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && conky;

thank you VERY much for answering my question. I'll give it a try.

Conky > *. Best application i've found yet. Thanks to everyone on here who I got some ideas for my conkyrc from.

you have a semicolon after "right fan" instead of colon. :) looking good otherwise, though. :)

[nanotube]

can anyone give me a hand. I want to switch from gdesklets to conky but in most of the examples I see there is normally only 1 or 2 hard drive monitors. I have 4 or 5 I want to monitor. I have attached a picture of my current gdesklets setup and would like a similat conky. the colors as well if that's possible. can anyone help maybe???

you can monitor as many drives as you want, just add the appropriate lines in the config file.
read the configs people have posted, and you'll figure it out. "man conky" might help, too. :)

[nanotube]

Here's mine.
thanks to everyone who posted before, as i have certainly used a lot of your configs for ideas. :)

how can you see anything in that tiny tiny thumbnail (which is what i see when i click on the link)?

[energiya]

That is a extremely simple & clean desktop. =] Very nice.

Thank you!


how can you see anything in that tiny tiny thumbnail (which is what i see when i click on the link)?

My desktop resolution is 800x600 (the image when you click the thumb should have this resolution). It's an old computer, but it loads firefox in max 2 seconds so I'm very happy :)

[ukripper]

I would like to add daemons to my monitor as well. As I am running AMPP stack, would like to know what services are currently running which should show up in conky.

Any one who knows how to add services or deamons in conkyrc would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance guys/girls.

Hello,

I have set Conky to start on login through System => Preferences => Session. Conky appears on my desktop as expected at first, everything is fine. However, it seems once my icons, taskbars and wallpaper appear (I'm guessing this is when GDM starts up), Conky disappears behind the wallpaper, though it's process continues to run. This happens with both forked to desktop, window set to desktop, and window set to override:

Not positive and I'm currently at work, but you may want to try changing this and restarting X.

---EDIT---
If you happen to be running Beryl or Compiz you'll need to create a conky startup script that will load conky after your composite manager loads(ie Beryl/Compiz). Here's a quote from m.musashi from his compiling conky thread. Refer to it if you have any issues.


To have conky autostart on login create a small bash script called .conky_start.sh and save it to your /home.


gedit .conky_start.sh
copy the code below and past into the file. Save and close


#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && conky;

This would start conky after 10 seconds after you login. The delay can be changed. Some sort of delay is desirable if you autostart beryl as well since conky works best if started after beryl. Make sure the script is executable:


chmod a+x .conky_start.sh

Now, add it to your startup programs (menu: system->preferences->session->startup programs).

[ukripper]

Made some more changes to my conky, looks really high detailed monitor now. runing GTK only themes works very well with the contrasts. Wish someone could show me how to add services in conky would be great.

My desktop resolution is 800x600 (the image when you click the thumb should have this resolution).

well, that's the thing, it doesn't. when i click on your link (just to be clear, this is the one: http://pix.nofrag.com/b5/4f/cbcd4cd640d5cf657c83c8245632t.jpg)
i see a 150x113 px image. nothing happens when i click on it. it's just small and unreadable. :)

is that not the case for you?? hmm... very weird.

My system, like many others, has more than one network interface. For me its just eth0 (wired) and eth1 (wireless).

Currently I have the following snippet in my config and it displays two bar graphs for each ethernet adapter (total 4 bar graphs)

===
${color darkgrey}Wired Network (${addr eth0}) ${hr 2}$color
Down: $color${downspeed eth0} k/s ${alignr}Up: ${upspeed eth0} k/s

25,140 000000 00ff00}$color
Total: ${totaldown eth0} ${alignr}Total: ${totalup eth0}

${color darkgrey}Wireless Network (${addr eth1}) ${hr 2}$color
Down: $color${downspeed eth1} k/s ${alignr}Up: ${upspeed eth1} k/s

Only one ethernet adapter is live at any one time so - Is there any way test which ethernet adapter is live and display only the relevant information on just two bar graphs?

OK I implemented musashi's fix and it starts after GDM now so all peachy there, however, if I fork it to background then it overrides anything else on my background, I can see them if I mouse over them or highlight them, but they disappear once conky updates.

Also, if I set it to start with it's own window, and set that window to desktop, occasionally if I click drag over the conky output, it disappears from that workspace.

*edit*
OK it's running fine now, bit the bullet and just adapted ukripper's (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2732308&postcount=221) .conkyrc file to my needs:

Now only the active network connection displays.

[dannyboy79]

it may already be answered but my conky shows up as my computer is starting but then goes away? I don't have a desktop background, I have set the Horizontal Variant thingy so it's like a two-tone affect of colors. Is this the problem? I have read that if I have conky wait a few seconds before it starts that should solve it but I thought I already tried that. Also, I have Desktop Effects (compiz) running, is that a problem. BUT I thinik I am going to try out Beryl because I have heard that's better and I can't figure out how to change compiz's settings which is built into feisty if you enable the desktop effects. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. To prodiepearce, I like your config, I might steal it if you don't mind. :-)

[nanotube]

(I use gkrellm personally)

oh hehe sorry. :)

[brodiepearce]

To brodiepearce, I like your config, I might steal it if you don't mind. :-)

haha, no worries mate. In all honesty I just adapted it from ukripper's original config. ;)

I'm now working on a script to output the completion time for current work units in F@H. If anyone has any ideas, or actually has such a script, gimme! I'm still pretty new to scripts, and have no idea how I would go about getting it to calculate something...

*edit*
A friend on IRC helped me out and made a smallish perl script, I've managed to get it's output working nicely with conky, just need to figure out how to supress some of it from within the original script:

[dannyboy79]

so are you using compiz or beryl? and if so, how do you get it to stay on the desktop because my conky shows up as the desktop is booting but then it goes away once everything is done loading or whatever. as I said earlier, I am not currently using a desktop background, I am just using a color scheme and it's the horizontal varient or is it vertical varient? it allows you to chose 2 colors and it kind a mixes them together with the main color on 1 side and the other color on the other side or above and below. Any thoughts?

[brodiepearce]

so are you using compiz or beryl? and if so, how do you get it to stay on the desktop because my conky shows up as the desktop is booting but then it goes away once everything is done loading or whatever.

I'm just using the standard Gnome manager that ships with Feisty. To get Conky to come up correctly with GDM you need to delay it, so I'm using a script that was posted earlier in the thread:



#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && conky;


Save that in your home folder or something, and then set it to start on boot using 'System -> Preferences -> Sessions'.

I also have a question now though... Now when running conky, if I move a window over it, or even mouse over the menu at the top so that the description goes over the conky display, it blacks it out, and conky then freezes for about 10 seconds or so. Has anyone else had this issue? It was working perfectly the first time I had it running, but now even after reinstalling Feisty it's still crapping itself.

Yeah, I treid that already and it didn't work (don't know if it was related to using compiz (desktop effects) though hence why I am asking) BUT I have since done a reinstall due to all my apps started with gksudo would freeze and just havn't done the conky thing yet.

So are you using compiz or Beryl? These are compostition managers and give you really cool effects for your desktop, like rain drops if you want them, a 3d cube to switch workspaces, wobbly windows, etc etc. I am guessing that you aren't using either because when I asked you stated that you were using the Gnome Desktop which didn't answer my question. I am only curious if Conky works with composition?

I can't answer your question as you can imagine since I am less experienced within conky than you, sorry. Thank you for answering most of my questions.

[khardbored]

I'm very new to Linux and subsequently, conky as well. Just a quick question, I'm testing a demo out and it needs to load up three different scripts. I can load one just fine with conky -c path/to/script - How the heck do I load multiple scripts? Thanks guys. Conky is the way to go. I can finally get away from my applets...

[Karl S.]

Yeah, I treid that already and it didn't work

Did you make the conky.sh file executable?

[coarse.sand]

Im a pretty new user to Ubuntu, but I've been beating GNOME into something appealing for the past few days and I just finished up a Conky theme. It's based around a high res cap from FLCL that I nabbed to use as a wallpaper from 4chan.org.

It started as the example that conky supplies you with, and generally degenerated from there once I found this thread and began piecing things together from other people's configs ;). It uses the gmail and weatherget scripts (and much beating from me) that come with lyrae's conky script (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Another+conky+scripts?content=58555). Quite a bit of it is probably redundant, I just wanted to make sure nothing would break.

I can load one just fine with conky -c path/to/script - How the heck do I load multiple scripts? Thanks guys. Conky is the way to go. I can finally get away from my applets...

Lets say your script names are all in your home folder. The following commands would load them all.


conky -c .script1
conky -c .script2
conky -c .script3


If you're wanting them all to load at ocne on startup, I have a post earlier in the thread(a couple of pages up) that should give you info on how to do such a thing. I am running 3 different conky configs 24/7. =] Call me a fan or something. =p

I can't seem to get my top processes list to align neatly and correctly:

I've been using ukripper's format till now, but for some reason it wont display the same on my machine:



NAME PID CPU% MEM%
${top name 1} ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}
${top name 2} ${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2}
${top name 3} ${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3} ${top mem 3}
${top name 4} ${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4} ${top mem 4}


But this is what it comes out as (see attachment). Ukripper's screenshot shows that the entire list moves to the right to accomodate long process names, on mine however, each line moves individually. :S

try this:

NAME ${alignr}PID CPU% MEM%
${top name 1} ${alignr}${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}
${top name 2} ${alignr}${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2}
${top name 3} ${alignr}${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3} ${top mem 3}
${top name 4} ${alignr}${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4} ${top mem 4}
the ${alignr} variable makes everything after it right-justified. that ought to line things up for you. :)
