Hi
I see its possible to get the info of your video card as well
the only examples that I came across so far are for nvidea with nvidea settings
can I also use the nvidea settings for this card ASUS Eah3850/g/htdi 512mb Ddr3 Pci Express or is there another option that I have to use to get all the info about my video card?

thanks for your help

Paul

Finally got mine the way I want it. Took awhile to get the HDD temps worked out and then mix and match bits of code from others in this thread (thank you to those I plagiarized). This is my first effort at coding (I actually did a few things myself) and it was fun. Not as flashy as some but that's how I like it. So, here is the code:-background yes
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
use_spacer yes
use_xft yes
xftfont HandelGotD:size=8
xftalpha 0.5
update_interval 2.0
draw_shades yes
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
uppercase no # set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
stippled_borders 3
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_color white
own_window_colour brown
own_window_transparent yes
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
gap_x 10
gap_y 10

I changed the default text colour to ivory buts its too - bright - or bold or something.
Want to make things blend in to the wallpaper a little better.
Oh yeah and I want CPU and hard drive temperatures, fan speeds etc.

The fun begins...

I'll ask here if I need help and keep you updated

WoW! Love that wall paper. Been watching you go through the process of getting it working (What I know about KDE could fit on the head of a pin).

For CPU and hard drive temperatures, fan speeds etc, you'll need to get: curl, lm-sensors and hddtemps.

To get lm-sensors working:

sudo sensors-detect

and answer "Y" to all ... even that last one.

When you install hddtemp you do not need it to run on startup (It will ask you). Once it's on your machine you can gain permission to use it yourself with, otherwise root owns it:

sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp

and that tip came from Crinos512 as well.

Read that wrong.

How do you put a real-time view of /var/log/auth.log in conky so I have a constant heads-up view of who's logged into the system? Kind of like:

cat /var/log/auth.log

but it doesn't end like cat would end - it would keep checking auth.log for new entries. I want to be able to only view entries that contain the word "accepted" or "failed" depending on my needs.

Probably something along the lines of:

${execi 30 cat /var/log/auth.log | grep -E "accepted|failed"}

Substitute 30 for whatever time you want it to run.

[MaindotC]

30 meaning it will check every 30 seconds? What does execi mean and where can I read about it in relation to conky?

Yes, the interval is in seconds. Execi is EXECute Interval. And you can either check the conky man page, or http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html

Thanks!

Hmmmmmmm, and I was looking for: Curl???

I see you quoted me though:
