Here is the thread I created. It just has a link to download the driver from nVidia.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link.

You are welcome! Thank you for your help on my conky! I have both up and plan on leaving them that way.
I also have one for Rhythmbox as well. It only shows when playing music of course.

Are you using one monitor? If so, you need to change the:

gap_x 1600

to

gap_x 0

then edit x and y to get it where you want it.

I work indeed with 1 monitor, I adapted this and it's working however I did have to use your zipped version to make it work since the version you posted in your first post does not like me for some reason thanks sofar, now gonna see if I get the meters to work

Yeah, pasting the code with code tags seems to ignore blank lines at the beginning or end, and I think that's what the problem was. As far as the rings, make sure you edit to fit your system (number of processor cores, ethernet/wireless interfaces, and hard disks). Also, if you look in the .new_ringsrc, you will see that I took some of the information from a file called myconfig.txt. To create that file on your system, run:

sudo lshw > myconfig.txt

in a terminal. Then you will probably have to do a little editing on the line numbers and cut characters e.g.(cut -c 31-34) to get the specific info for your system.
Other than that, if you put the new_rings.lua in a folder titled "scripts" (without quotes) in your home folder, and, once again, change the x and y gap positioning, it should work except for adjustments to fit your screen.

Yeah, FrankenCub what is wrong with your nVidia driver? I always have the latest installed.
Right now I have 295.49 dated May 3, 2012.

302.07 couple of days now... that's the latest.

Hi,
Whats the best way to get total UP/DOWN traffic in KB/s ?

[FrankenCub]

28" ... 2x17" {sigh} I give up ...

What's wrong with your nvidia drivers?

I did a fresh install to jump up to 12.04 and the Nvidia drivers are creating 2nd monitor support problems. The second monitor in most cases are going white and when you move the mouse to that monitor it turns to an x. Occasionally when you restart you will see the desktop for 1-2 seconds but still goes white. There's quite a few reports about it, think I saw one on Launch Pad too. They are fine if you only want to use one monitor. Hell I can't even use the 3d environment in 12.04 without constant freezes, we've been testing in 2d and all is well so far, I can't stand 2d though lol.

I use:

${upspeedf eth0}  KiB/s
${downspeedf eth0}  KiB/s

for wired and:

${upspeedf wlan0}  KiB/s
${downspeedf wlan0}  KiB/s

for wireless.

${upspeedf wlan0}  KiB/s
${downspeedf wlan0}  KiB/s

for wireless.

I will add that this only tracks up and down for the current session. It resets when you log out or restart in any way. If you want to keep track of your total data usage for any connection, look for vnstat. Several users make use of it, including Sector11 and myself.
