Hi everybody who better know scripts lua than me...I'm trying to make an equalizer conky working but i can't fix it .The script was writting by Wlourf, it's an old code but i'm still interrested in.It was find here :

I've errors after conky launched :

Why odd?
Since you have no aptitude installed, then there is no output from it, so line count from 'aptitude' is '0'.

The line

The program 'aptitude' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install aptitude

is not from 'aptitude' but from shell and is not from normal output (SDTOUT) but from error output (SDTERR), so it is not piped to 'wc' and is not counted by it.

Everything is fine there and logic.
If you want some data from 'aptitude' then install it as suggested by shell.

Thanks for your reply.
So are you saying in fact the 0 shown is not 0 updates available? If this is so, was aptitude installed by default in earlier versions of Ubuntu ?

Sorry; it's working now.It was because i didn't get the right lib for x64 arch, but there's an interval between sounds and image...

No. It was always considered optional by Ubuntu Team, since apt-get and more over Software Center is in place.

Ah, you've been faster yourself in figuring it out... hint was 'wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32'.

Hi,
Is there a way to align the entire output of a command in conky? I have a script which outputs 5 lines. ${alignr}{exec /path/to/script} only aligns the first line. The rest are printed aligned left.

Yes, you need to make your script put a ${alignr} at the front of each line that it outputs.

I tried to find a shell script to display connections excluding localhost. No luck, so I wrote my own. Thought I would share.
Note the variables at the top that can be used to tailor output to your own needs.

#!/bin/bash

#connections.sh is a bash script for displaying active connection with
#filtering of localhost connextions
#Version 1.0 10/23/2012 by Jerry Fath
#
#Call with exec from within conky
#If you use execi or other variant, set text_buffer_size to 1024 or greater
#to avoid chopping output

#Usage: connections.sh [-in|-out|-both]

#localhost is always filtered, set this to also filter inet
FILTERMYIP=1
#Allowable width of connection host name
HOSTNAMEWIDTH=23
#Rightstr when chopping hostname
HOSTRIGHT=1
#Maximum inbound lines
MAXINLINES=255
#Maximum inbound lines
MAXOUTLINES=255
#Maximum inbound+outbound lines
MAXINOUTLINES=255
#Minimum inbound+outbound lines
MININOUTLINES=12


#Chose outbound, inbound, or both
if [ "$1" == "-in" ]; then
  INPORTS=1
  OUTPORTS=0

Yes, you need to make your script put a ${alignr} at the front of each line that it outputs.

My script now outputs:
${alignr}line 1
${alignr}line 2...etc
The conky entry is ${exec path/to/script}.
Now it just prints ${alignr} in front of each line with all of it aligned left.... ?

Okay changing {exec path/to/script} to {execp path/to/script} solved this. Entire output aligns right. But now I have a new problem. My conky lines were:

$nodename ${execp path/to/script}
$kernel

Now there are 5 newlines b/w nodename and kernel on the left with the script output on the right b/w them.

That is normal.
If you want the output to be like this.

${nodename}${alignr}Script Line 1
${kernel}${alignr}Script Line2
${alignr}Script Line3
${alignr}Script Line4
${alignr}Script Line5

you can use ${voffset} with a negative value to move the ${kernel} up to the correct position like this.

$nodename ${execp path/to/script}
${voffset -20}$kernel

[/code]you can use ${voffset} with a negative value to move the ${kernel} up to the correct position like this.

$nodename ${execp path/to/script}
${voffset -20}$kernel

${voffset -60}$kernel did the trick. Thanks arclane!
