Hello londonali1010,
i have a Problem with your new Skript "rings.lua".
I have copied the script from here
http://conky.linux-hardcore.com/?page_id=2800

The rings are not indicated and this message comes in the terminal:

search@Genius:~$ conky -c /home/search/.conkyrc
Conky: llua_load: /home/search/conky/lua/rings.lua:87: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 83) near 'bg_colour'

Can you please post what's on line 87, but let's do it over on the troubleshooting thread...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1280453

Ring Meters by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws percentage meters as rings. It is fully customisable; all options are described in the script.

IMPORTANT: if you are using the 'cpu' function, it will cause a segmentation fault if it tries to draw a ring straight away. The if statement on line 145 uses a delay to make sure that this doesn't happen. It calculates the length of the delay by the number of updates since Conky started. Generally, a value of 5s is long enough, so if you update Conky every 1s, use update_num>5 in that if statement (the default). If you only update Conky every 2s, you should change it to update_num>3; conversely if you update Conky every 0.5s, you should use update_num>10. ALSO, if you change your Conky, is it best to use "killall conky; conky" to update it, otherwise the update_num will not be reset and you will get an error.

To call this script in Conky, use the following (assuming that you save this script to ~/scripts/rings.lua):
    lua_load ~/scripts/rings.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre ring_stats

@Chronon: YES! That's exactly the problem! Thanks for explaining it better than I did

I can probably make a better ring clock where the rings match the hands, but for the time being, the issue is because I'm drawing the time rings the same way as all the other rings...

Not at all. Thanks for your work on this. It seems that this could become an addictive pastime.

I do have a couple of ideas of ways to restructure things, but as I mentioned I am quite a newbie with Lua (and am busy with other things as well). It would probably take me a bit of time to do a proper fix. I do feel like I know much more about it than I did a few hours ago, though.

Now that I have discovered conky (and Lua scripting) I will have to come up with something creative to do with this.

[searchOne]

Hello together,
I have changed my first idea with conky/lua something else, and, in addition, have made a Conky-lua-circel-clock, see on the top right!

Completely outside (yellow) are the seconds, then in green come the minutes and the grey one are the hours. Minutes and seconds are counted as usual in 60 unities, however, the hours are indicated at 24 hours of format, therefore, 12 is indicated below!
To compare I have left the analogous clock!



If one has an idea like me the horizontal stroke $ {hr2} can delimit!?

@PhoHammer -- Try and downloading the script directly from Conky Hardcore! I've packaged it and posted a link so you can download it directly as a .tar.gz (just to make sure!).

It works!! Thanks londonali1010!!!!!

Minimalistic Conky setup (yes - there is such a thing)
that's a custom rss feed and a weather forecast on the right.
segmented circle in the middle - visualisation screenlet and icons top-most-middle are minimized windows.. oh and there's a tiny analog clock on top of the wallpaper. (only the stuff on the right and the clock are conky)
ps: normal quality screenshot - http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/717/desktopas.jpg.


i know the thread title says 'post your .conkyrc' but you obviously can tell how simple mine is and how frivolous that would be so im not going to make you scroll through another set of banal configs.
so the reason im posting here is because im absolutely astonished how most of the layouts are basicly cluster-***** of information and stats.. im saying if conky can display 5 million different things on it's desktop it doesn't mean that it has to. that's what im trying to illustrate with this post.

[miegiel]

sorry for the ugly coding, but it was a little here, little there with about 300 separate killall conky... conky commands typed.

anyone know why the disk usage bar for the fat32 drive 'M3D1A' isn't accurate?

[CODE...]

instead of

${fs_bar 8,60 '/media/m3d1a'}

try

${fs_bar 8,60 /media/m3d1a/}

or
