Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

i upgrade my conky desktop:

^stylintile, how do you call up your password for your conky so it works with your code? I tried with logging with keyring and I am set u as admin. I am having no luck. Thx

[alpetjr]

That's not a conky issue.
it's a design of the hddtemp utility.

You can change it though,
This thread goes back some, but still relevant:

I looked thru that. thx, guess it was more of a curiosity. Thinking of modifying the code. Trying to figure out how to get my password to use with the conky to at least get it working

alpetjr,
I have edited my sudoers file by typing "sudo visudo" in terminal, then adding "dale ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" at the end. I don't recommend doing this, but i live alone and nobody else ever touches my computer.
(And I got tired of having to enter my password in the middle of trying to figure something out, by the time I entered the password I would forget what I was doing. I guess I'm getting old.)

Here's my latest, it's another long script which I can't seem to post. Another "security token is missing". I guess my computer doesn't like posting long scripts. I'm using a crontab entry to run a script calling

metar -d kvps | grep Temperature > /home/dale/Documents/Weather/metar/kvps.txt &&

with "kvps" being just one of them. I have all of the capitals and other places I have lived.
Then i use

kvpstemp=tonumber(os.capture("grep -o [[:digit:]]\\* /home/dale/Documents/Weather/metar/kvps.txt"))
if kvpstemp==nil then kvpstemp=100 end
kvpstemp2=math.floor(kvpstemp*1.8+32)

in the lua for each place. I added the if statements for each place because i kept getting nil values whenever the bash script was overwriting the file. I used 100 as a temp
number because I figured if one of the places shows a 212 degree temp, I'll know it's not correct. The maps are actually images that i edited with gimp for the outline color and the time zone colors, which are displayed in the lua with the image function.
Also using the same functions that are in my earlier posts. If anyone wants more of the code, let me know and I'll post the relevant sections.

Very Nice! Golf Clap.
I kinda like this one!

That's a limitation of the Forum software.

If you want to present the entire thing, you can post it here and add the link here. You may have to break it up there, too, for all I know ...

1fallen,
Thank you.

QIII,
Thanks much for the tip. heres the link:

@styintile, I figured out how to temporarily get the conky to run in root. I came up with this error

Too few arguments: you must specify one drive, at least.
Too few arguments: you must specify one drive, at least.
conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: /home/al/sylintile/bg.lua:107: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'total_size' (a nil value(

I thought it might be from the LAN, so I changed the wireless to

    disk_free=total_free-newvolume_free
    disk_used=total_used-newvolume_used

    disk_total=total_size-newvolume_total
    disk_perca=(disk_used/disk_size)*100
    disk_perc=math.floor(disk_perca)
    uplan3=tonumber(conky_parse('${upspeedf wlp2s0}'))
uplan=round((((math.floor(uplan3))*.01)*0.8),2)
    downlan3=tonumber(conky_parse('${downspeedf wlp2s0}'))
downlan=round((((math.floor(downlan3))*.01)*0.8),2)

But that didn't work. The (uplan3) and (downlan3) how do I figure out what I use? Is this going to bee to much for me to try to get running without knowing much of Lua?

For the drive sizes you need to run

df -h

to see what drives you have and their mount points or names. On mine I have my primary drive "/dev/sda" and a portable which is named "New_Volume1".
The output of that command gives me

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           788M  550M  239M  70% /run
/dev/sda6        97G   16G   77G  17% /
tmpfs           3.9G   53M  3.8G   2% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda7       189G   29G  151G  16% /home
tmpfs           788M   76K  788M   1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdb1        74G   27G   44G  38% /media/dale/New_Volume1

You,ll need to modify the commands on lines 87-112 to match what you have in your system to get the sizes.

If you want to run the df -h command and post the output, I'll be happy to tell you what modifications to make.
