Yes indeed! Thank you kind sir. Sorry it had to be mentioned again, this is a large thread!

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Re: Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots
Here's my contribution to the thread. I may have kinda borrowed most of the code in my scripts.However, it is still amazing what this little program can do. Below are my scripts.
This one is initiated when GDM starts (i.e. when I log in)
And yes, I have a trial conky for testing new scripts.Code:#!/bin/bash # sleep time can vary, but should not be less than 10 to allow enough time for # compiz to take effect otherwise, funky effects will occur on the desktop. #sleep 12 && conky -c ~/Conky/trial_conky & sleep 30 && conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain & sleep 35 && conky -c ~/Conky/conkyweb &
This one is my main conky.
This one contains the weather forecast and internet usage.Code:# UBUNTU-CONKY own_window yes #own_window_type override #seen on top of evry window own_window_transparent yes own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager # Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone) double_buffer yes # fiddle with window use_spacer right use_xft yes xftfont Hemi head 426:size=8 xftalpha 0.5 # Update interval in seconds update_interval 3.0 # Minimum size of text area minimum_size 250 10 # Text alignment, other possible values are commented #alignment top_left alignment top_right #alignment bottom_left #alignment bottom_right # Gap between borders of screen and text gap_x 10 gap_y 10 cpu_avg_samples 2 net_avg_samples 2 override_utf8_locale yes use_spacer none #show_graph_scale no #show_graph_range no #max_port_monitor_connections 256 #max_specials 512 #max_user_text 16384 #if_up_strictness address # stuff after 'TEXT' will be formatted on screen # Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT override_utf8_locale yes # colors # Default color default_color gray color1 white # light blue color2 6892C6 # orange #E77320 color3 FC8820 # green color4 78BF39 # red color5 CC0000 # blue color6 93B2E0 text_buffer_size 2048 TEXT ${color}${alignc 10}${font Arial Black:size=12}${time %H:%M}${font} ${alignc}${time %A %d %B %Y} ${color2}${alignc} System Information ${hr} ${font WenQuanYi Zen Hei:bold:size=10}${voffset -10}${color6}${exec lsb_release -d | sed 's/.*:\s*//'}${font} ${color green}${exec whoami} ${color}@ ${color green}$nodename$color $sysname $kernel ($machine) ${font StyleBats:size=16}A${font}${color lightgrey}CPU Temp Core1:$alignr ${color light grey} ${execi 1 cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/000*/temp1_input | cut -c1,2}°C ${font StyleBats:size=16}g${font}${color lightgrey}CPU Temp Core2:$alignr ${color light grey} ${execi 2 cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/000*/temp2_input | cut -c1,2}°C ${font StyleBats:size=16}j${font}${color lightgrey}CPU Temp Core3:$alignr ${color light grey} ${execi 1 cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/000*/temp3_input | cut -c1,2}°C ${font StyleBats:size=16}O${font}${color lightgrey}CPU Temp Core4:$alignr ${color light grey} ${execi 2 cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/000*/temp4_input | cut -c1,2}°C ${font StyleBats:size=16}F${font}${color lightgrey}GPU Temp VGA:$alignr ${color light grey} ${execi 60 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | perl -ne 'print $1 if /GPUCoreTemp.*?: (\d+)./;'}°C ${font StyleBats:size=16}R${font}${color lightgrey}Video RAM:$alignr ${color light grey} ${exec nvidia-settings -q VideoRam | grep Attribute | cut -d ' ' -f 6 | cut -c 1-6} KiB ${font Webdings:size=16}~${font}${color lightgrey}Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,160 BAT0} ${color lightgrey}$alignc Uptime:$color $uptime ${color2}${alignc} Performance Monitor ${hr} ${color lightgrey}CPU: ${color}$freq_g GHz ${color lightgrey}CPU Usage:${color #ff0000} $cpu% ${cpubar} ${color lightgrey}Average Load:${color} $loadavg ${color}${cpugraph 3fffff ff0000} ${color lightgrey}RAM Usage:${color} $mem/$memmax $memperc% ${membar} ${color lightgrey}Swap Usage:${color} $swap/$swapmax $swapperc% ${swapbar} ${color2}${alignc} Process Monitor ${hr} ${color lightgrey}Processes:${color} $processes ${color grey}Running:$color $running_processes ${color2}Name PID CPU% MEM% ${color #ddaa00} ${top name 1} ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1} ${color} ${top name 2} ${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2} ${color lightgrey}Memory usage ${color #ddaa00} ${top_mem name 1} ${top_mem pid 1} ${top_mem cpu 1} ${top_mem mem 1} ${color} ${top_mem name 2} ${top_mem pid 2} ${top_mem cpu 2} ${top_mem mem 2} ${color2}${alignc} File Systems ${hr} ${color}Drive: %Free Amount Used ${color}Root: ${fs_free_perc /}% ${color brown}${fs_bar 6 /} ${color}Vista: ${fs_free_perc /media/Vista}% ${color orange}${fs_bar 6 /media/Vista} ${color}DL3.5: ${fs_free_perc /media/Dreamlinux}% ${color blue}${fs_bar 6 /media/Dreamlinux} ${color2}${alignc} Fortune ${hr} $color${execi 120 fortune -s | fold -w50}

Sorry for the delay, I've been in Alaska (no phone, internet, pager, mail, paved roads...... you get the idea) Yes your avatar is for your StartStopConky script. I don't remember where I "borrowed" the wallpaper but here it is.
Way Too Much Ubuntu
For those of you using conky with audacious, i managed to fix the problem with the progress bar, in earlier versions of conky the script looked at values between 0 and 100, with the latest version, it looks at numbers between 0 and 1.
so you need to change the line in your conky from
toCode:${execbar expr 100 \* $(audtool --current-song-output-length-seconds) \/ $(audtool --current-song-length-seconds)}
this is the full conky script i'm using now that i'm happy.Code:${execbar echo $(audtool --current-song-output-length-seconds) \/ $(audtool --current-song-length-seconds) | bc -l}

Got a problem with my Conky. It works fine in Gnome, but I recently set up Openbox on my netbook and added conky to the autostart file, and it comes up running off-screen to the left. See my attached pic.
Here's my conkyrc borrowed and slightly modified from a post here):
Code:# Conky configuration # # =================== # # Create window, and make it not transparent so we get a solid # background. own_window yes own_window_transparent yes # Next line specifies a color of the background. In this case, I'm using # a grey color specified in hex. You are also free to specify the color # by name. Eg. orange, blue, lightblue, lightgrey, black, white own_window_colour 4D4D4D # Don't put conky in the task bar, the pager, and no decorations to the # window. own_window_hints undecorated below sticky skip_taskbar skip_pager # To prevent conky from flickering every update, we double buffer. # For those whose conky still flickers, ensure that the item: Load "dbe" # is in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf under Section "module" double_buffer yes # Number of samples to take for averaging CPU monitoring. cpu_avg_samples 2 # Number of samples to take for averaging Network monitoring. net_avg_samples 2 # Use Xft? Xft: Anti-aliased font, enable Xft font. # If you disable this you must specify an X font. use_xft yes # Xft font when Xft is enabled. xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=8 # Text alpha when using Xft xftalpha 0.8 # How many seconds per update of statistics? # That is, how many seconds in between each check of monitored stats. update_interval 1 # Minimum size of the conky bar. # How to use: minimum_size [Width] [Height] minimum_size 1280 10 # Maximum width that conky can expand to. 1280x800 is what a lot of us # run at I'm guessing. So... maximum_width 1280 # border margins border_margin 0 # border width border_width 0 # Draws a outline_color outline around all the text. Makes it really # standout if you choose your colors carefully. draw_outline no # Gives text a shade_color shadow. Text shadows! Less standout than # above. double_buffer yes # Set default text color, then set your default shade color, and outline color. Can be specified in words (black, white, blue, etc.) or using hex values (lightgray, #FFFFFF, etc) default_color black default_shade_color black default_outline_color black # Where to place the conky bar. Set to start at the top-left corner of your desktop.

Actually, I just noticed this:
My resolution is 1024x600.Code:# Minimum size of the conky bar. # How to use: minimum_size [Width] [Height] minimum_size 1280 10 # Maximum width that conky can expand to. 1280x800 is what a lot of us # run at I'm guessing. So... maximum_width 1280
fixed it and it works great now.

I have this problem on display the temperature of my cpu.
${execi 1 cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/000*/temp1_input | cut -c1,2} °C
The same instruction used by archeryguru2000 but i obtain this result.
While if i use the same command directly on the terminal:
~$ cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/0000\:00\:18.3/temp1_input | cut -c1,2
33
The result is correct without strange symbol after the number as you can see on the image.

Talk about computer withdrawal symptoms!!no phone, internet, pager, mail, paved roads...... you get the idea
