Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[mrpeachy]

@mrpeachy. Hey sorry about that. I found a version of V9000 with much more comprehensive instructions in the readme file that helped me out immensely and corrected what I think were some of my earlier problems but I am getting some new errors now. I will attach the terminal readout as well as my v9000.lua file.

one thing i noticed

local username = moralanarchy

needs to be

local username = "moralanarchy"

[MoralAnarchy]

okay changed that and this is what i got in terminal and i'm going to append a screenshot to show you what came up on my desktop. i'm actually getting visual now but it seems to still be in need of tweaking. Any ideas?

moralanarchy@MoralAnarchy:~$ conky -c ~/v9000/conky_weather
Conky: desktop window (1400095) is subwindow of root window (a6)

okay changed that and this is what i got in terminal and i'm going to append a screenshot to show you what came up on my desktop. i'm actually getting visual now but it seems to still be in need of tweaking. Any ideas?

that is the test setup which should output all the available options, but where it says "set text" means there is something wrong with the data

let me check out v9000 on my puter and report back

[mrpeachy]

i wondered if intellicast had changed their website causing things to break, but everything is still working for me



post your config file please and ill try it out
in particular check that the web address points to the extended forecast page like this one:

local web="http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Forecast.aspx?unit=F&location=USWA0502"

Hi all been playing with Conky for a couple of days now and have cum up with this so far.
It is an edit of infinity-unity

Still need to add a weather script to the right hand side too fill in the gap,
Hope you like it

So frustrating, I can't get newly installed fonts to work in conky, I have run
fc-cache -fv

and still the same issue. Any ideas anyone?

After extracting, I just place the folder or font file in ~/.fonts
Placing them in ~/.fonts makes it easier to not lose them when you backup home for a new install.

Click on the font and in info, check your using the right name.
gnome-specimen is also a handy viewer to list all your installed fonts.
It allows you to copy the font name from the menu.
Sometimes you have to copy a couple of times though.

sudo apt-get install gnome-specimen

I really like that set up man! Very, very clean.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFTOFF!! I NOW HAVE CONKY ON THE DESKTOP!!

(What is the /sys/class stuff it's fussing about?)
**************************************************
Anyway, thank you so much, Sector11 and Stinkeye!!

I'm going to read up more on the config parts, since theres a few things I don't need/understand from this conky, but it's finally up and running!! (Is there a good page somewhere which explains these functions in simple language a noob like me can understand? I have NO programming experience.)

This would have been just fine: /home/michelle/.conkyrc

RE: What is the /sys/class stuff it's fussing about?

It means ${hwmon 2 temp 1} is not working for your system

Remember this:

$ sensors | grep 'Core 0'
Core 0: +46.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Now try this:

sensors | grep 'Core 0' | cut -c 7-

Keep adding "1" to that "7" until you see:

46.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

That this point you will have something like this:

$ sensors | grep 'Core 0' | cut -c 15-
46.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Lets say that "15" is that number that does that, add one after the - and you should see:

$ sensors | grep 'Core 0' | cut -c 15-16
46

Now in your conky where you see:

${color0}CPU: ${color grey}${cpu cpu1}% ${color0}[${color}${hwmon 2 temp 1}C${color0}] ${freq_g}Mhz

change it to:

${color0}CPU: ${color grey}${cpu cpu1}% ${color0}[${color}${execi 8 sensors | grep 'Core 0' | cut -c 15-16}C${color0}] ${freq_g}Mhz

and that should take care of the

Conky: can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input'

do not worry about the gnome-keyring warning. It's a known bug.

RE: the screen going black I'm at a loss.

maybe - above TEXT change:

own_window_type override

to

own_window_type normal

One step at a time.
