Yep as I mentioned the other parts work okay, but the last line with the temp is not displaying correctly.

**psyopper** · July 5th, 2007

Try this instead:

Code:

${execi 30 nvclock -T | grep temperature | cut -c21-23}

I was having the very same problem. Being new to Linux and running into this problem really taught me a lot about that handy little grep command. I changed a few things in the nvclock commands...

Code:

${color slate grey}Video: ${color }${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Card:' | cut -c9-27}
${color lightgrey}${tab 20}Temperature: ${color #ddaa00}${execi 30 nvclock -T | grep temperature | cut -c21-23}
${color lightgrey}${tab 20}GPU: ${tab 4}${color }${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Architecture:' | cut -c16-22}$alignr${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'GPU clock:' | cut -c13-23}
${color lightgrey}${tab 20}Mem: ${color }${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Amount:' | cut -c10-15} ${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Type:' | cut -c16-18} $alignr ${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Clock:' | cut -c10-21}
