    Question 12.04 Conky Cannot Obtain IP Address

    Hello,

    I recently switched to Dell 5520 Quad Core and conky cannot obtain an IP Address, so I can't see what's happening on the network. My previous system was an Acer 5102 with AMD TL50s and it worked fine then. The Dell system is an I7 Quad Core, so possible there's another command I have to use.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks Hannibal

    Can you post the offending lines in your .conkyrc (or the whole thing) as well as the output of:
    Code:
    ifconfig -a

    I found that since I have my cable internet connected through a wireless router, I had to change all references to eth0 to wlan0 and this solved the problem; but I have other problems with conky as well such as the following code not working:

    ${color yellow}Core 0: ${hr 2}$color
    Freq: ${freq 1}MHz
    ${cpubar cpu1 10,70}
    ${cpugraph cpu1 000000 ffffff}

    ${color red}Core 1: ${hr 2}$color
    Freq: ${freq 2}MHz
    ${cpubar cpu2 10,70}
    ${cpugraph cpu2 000000 ffffff}

    I get the frequency on cores 0 and 1; but the rest of the code just draws empty graphs.

    Thanks Hannibal
