Help with conky NOOB

[450rOOST]

thanks, I will go through the guide.

this conky I have up displays network speeds, up and down.

the script reads

${offset 240}${color slate grey}NET: 
${offset 240}${color}Up: ${color }${upspeed eth0} k/s
${offset 240}${upspeedgraph eth0 20,130 000000 ffffff}
${offset 240}${color}Down: ${color }${downspeed eth0}k/s${color}
${offset 240}${downspeedgraph eth0 20,130 000000 ffffff}

is what I have underlined what I need to change to get the graphs to work on mine?

So right not I should just go and get the conky-all package right now.

Yep, look in network connections to see what your using.

In the terminal
wired

ifconfig

wireless

iwconfig

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

my wireless is called 'Suckamea', I tried replaing 'eth0' with 'Suckamea' to no avail, should that have worked?

nevermind, I see.

Stick with it.
It's not that hard.
At the moment I'm running 4 conkys
# gmail
# surf report
# a forecast image from a local surf site
# and a hardware monitor under a transparent unity panel.

thanks man, I've got a lot accomplished tonight. I've been using linux for about 4 days. 2 days were install.

I'll come back to this thread later and I'll go through the guide. I want to add email and weather, that would be sweet. Thanks again for your help.
