Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[alwiap]

been a while since I last fooled around with conky, and with a fresh xubuntu install on my laptop I figured I would dig up an old conky I used to use.

I DO have a problem though, it seems like there are 2 lines under the conky I have now that I don't want. In other words, I would like the whole conky moved down like 2 or 3 lines so it 'touches' the bottom right of the screen. Can anyone examine my conky code and figure this out? I'm working on it currently and I am an avid copy/paster of conky's, so maybe another mind or two might be able to resolve my problem. My .conkyrc is below as well as a screenshot. Cheers!

Try decreasing the value of gap_y

[Lostincyberspace]

for the bottom right gap_y should be 0 or not there

[alwiap]

for the bottom right gap_y should be 0 or not there

thanks both, i put the values '10' for both and am very happy now. thanks and now i will remember that piece of info!

I have asked this Q in another thread but didn't get any reply. I was wondering if conky could be displayed similar to a news ticker/crawler, like the ones you see on TV in the news near the bottom of the screen (i.e. other news headlines).

Or, if conky could be displayed fading in/fading out, at certain intervals.

Just wondering if they could be possible coz it would be great, at least for me.

I think you could hack a ticker by writing a script that moves letters from right to left and run it once per second. It might work? It definitely wouldn't be smooth.

First drive - 80 Gig
Ubuntu - sda5 - 62.5 Gig
W2K - sda1
sda6 - I thought was my swap partition, but it isn't configured (I think it's a W2K thing, don't know.)

Second drive - 40 Gig
BruLoo - sdb1

Questions:
1. Conky is reporting BruLoo (sdb1) as if it was the Ubuntu partition (sda5) but sdb1 is a seperate 40 Gig HD. Can anyone help fix this "oopps"?
2. What is sda6?
3. How do I find my "swap" partition? I remember creating it at 1Gig, and it is being reported above correctly, I think.

And last but not least, an off topic question:

4. Why is my computer constantly downloading "something" at 11-13 k/s even when I'm not doing anything online?
