Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[Bruce M.]

So, I've made it up to about... page 600-something

My perfectionist nature wants to squelch the error... Is this possible? or is this just the burden of using the if statement?

Hi internalkernel

Would that be opposed to externalcaptain? {just kidding}

600 - you've just touched the surface. NICE Conky though.

I don't use "if" statements in my conkys as they are not needed. However looking at you code I see the proper number of endif's to match the "if_xx"'x so it's not that.

I tacked this onto the end of one of my conkys:

${voffset -3}${color4}${fs_bar /home}
${color9}DropBox${if_existing /media/DropBox}
${color1}${font DroidSans:size=9}Backup:  ${alignc}${color0}${font lucidamac:size=8}${fs_used /media/DropBox}  of  ${fs_size /media/DropBox} : ${fs_free_perc /media/DropBox}%   
${voffset -3}${color4}${fs_bar /media/DropBox}${endif}

Which should have showed the "home bar" and the word DropBox, twice, one RED one Yellow and that's that.

But I get the same error:

Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory
Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory
Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory
Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory
Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory
Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory

if_existing file (string)

if FILE exists, display everything between if_existing and the matching $endif. The optional second paramater checks for FILE containing the specified string and prints everything between $if_existing and the matching $endif.

So I tried:

if_mounted (mountpoint)

if MOUNTPOINT is mounted, display everything between $if_mounted and the matching $endif

Same display, same error - This is NOT right!

Have a nice day
Bruce

So, I've made it up to about... page 600-something

I figured I should update my conky screenshot and post the conf along with it...

Also had a question, hoping someone has gotten this sorted... I'm using an if_existing statement to detect a removable drive... however, I end up with:

Conky: statfs '/media/DropBox': No such file or directory

My perfectionist nature wants to squelch the error... Is this possible? or is this just the burden of using the if statement?

Try if_mounted instead

Meh, Bruce beat me to it.

Trust me, you've been pegged. And how could you possibly make conky detect which wallpaper and change it's output? Are you a "Gandalf" in disguise?

@ Everyone - I'm not MIA, I'm not abandoning the thread, nor Conky.

I am basically in a "semi-lurk" mode here because of three things:

1. My ISP is "rebuilding it's network" so for the month of Feb it's a "touch-n-go" situation as to whether or not I have Internet access. The GOOD thing about it is they've upgraded my service to 3MB for the same priceas I was paying for 1MB. We'll see what March brings.

2. Some really heavy duty personal stuff of late sometimes demands my time, even when I do have Internet access, and "LIFE" wins every time!

3. I am super involved in a new Debian based Linux Distro: TOTA - (Tools Of The Adventure) that has NO Desktop, only Window Managers; FluxBox, OpenBox, Awesome and Window Maker. At this point in time it is in Beta and all WM's are included. When the "Final" comes out it will come in at least 4 flavours: TOTA-FB, TOTA-OB, TOTA-Awe and TOTA-WM. Maybe even a TOTA-All who knows.

It comes with a whole bunch of conkys installed as well, most need "some" configuring (Email, weather, etho is default in all except one that defaults to wan0, etc.). Here's the default Conky for OpenBox and what OB looks like.

Have a nice day.
Bruce

1. That's why I have 2 ISPs

2. Life is overrated! Damn this web is wide, I've been surfing for over a decade and still haven't reached the edge.

3. It still comes with compiz I hope? WM + conky + compiz + a pretty picture, what else do you need? Oh yeah, some place to hide my skype/deluge/tomboy-notes

You don't make conky detect the wallpaper. Set up a script to change the wallpaper on a certain interval, and have it killall conky and restart conky with a new conkyrc made just for that wallpaper. Repeat for however many wallpapers you want. Duh.

read my mind. now to find the time to put it together

So I tried:

if_mounted (mountpoint)

if MOUNTPOINT is mounted, display everything between $if_mounted and the matching $endif

Same display, same error - This is NOT right!

Have a nice day
Bruce

if mountpoint is mounted, conky will DISPLAY everything between $if_mounted and the matching $endif.
if mountpoint is not mounted it will not DISPLAY it on the desktop but will still execute the command between $if_mounted and the matching $endif (i think).

[Mahngiel]

And how could you possibly make conky detect which wallpaper and change it's output?

Hm.. A Challenge? Well, count ten paces, turn, and duel, comrade!

My newest creation. I got about 100 hours into this thing, and that's on the low end. And yes, the entire thing is a conky, and the orbs do indeed flow.

RE: #3 - Well, it it doesn't - it has the tools to install it.

Have a nice night.

[phredbull]

Hi,

Can you share you wallpaper?

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the main character from a Korean movie called Lady Vengeance. (And supposedly Charlize Theron wants to star in a remake of it...)
