Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

@lanetherif
First you will need to install a few things.

$sudo aptitude install python-statgrab ttf-liberation hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all
$sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
$sudo sensors-detect #answering Yes (default) to all questions, even that last one that defaults to No

Once that is done download this then extract the conky-colors.tar.gz and cd to the folder in the terminal, then run this.

$make
$./conky-colors --help
$./conky-colors
$make install

Once that's done paste this into the terminal.

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:m-buck/conky
$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conkyforecast

Once you have done that follow this guide (just the bit about configuring the Weather Forecast) and replace UKXX0113 with the code you get for your area in the .conkyrc file I posted. (you can use the "Find and Replace" feature in gedit)

Thanks for the quick reply. The icons are visible now.

Glad I could help

While I am here as anyone got a working Deluge .conkyrc?
I'v downloaded the conkydeluge and tried the examples in the /usr/share/conkydeluge/example but it just won't load.

@shanalan

Change this:

${color blue}SSID: ${color white}${wireless_essid eth1}

to this;

${color blue}SSID: ${color white}${wireless_essid wlan0}

[shanalan]

Thanks for the suggestion, but does not work.
I don't understand why using eth1 can output the proper IP addy but cannot retrieve the SSID??
Any other suggestions???

SSID is only for wireless connections, it's the broadcast name of your wireless router.

IP addresses are different, it's like your zip/post code for your pc on the net, doesn't matter if it's wireless or not, every PC/Internet device connected the the web has a IP address.

If you are not using a wireless connection you won't have a SSID.

eth0, eth1 are for lan connections, wlan0 is for wireless connections and ppp0 are for dial-up.

That's odd???

That's why its not working, eth1 is for wired connections and should never be a Wireless device. Why your wireless is showing under eth1 I do not know.

I too have been looking for this, but alas no joy. If you read the last 2 comments between myself and maker of script, you might understand more. I can only assume you're getting same terminal output as me...NADA

Cheers for the info. That sucks that its not going to be worked on any more.
But ya, I was getting the same as you NADA and I was getting no info from the terminal, it just hanged.

Do you know of anyone that's still working on the script? or is it just a dead project now.
