Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[likerice]

you should also be able to have conky run automagically at start-up by creating a start-up script in services.

a simpler solution would be to login, run conky, and then logout while saving the "current session" (this works on xfce for xubuntu, and should work as well in gnome).

You can also add

conky &

to the .xinitrc file in your home directory.

[featherking]

i wrote a script to display the current ssid of you network:

iwconfig eth1 | grep -i essid | cut -d"\"" -f2

Replace eth1 with whatever your wifi interface is then save and make it executable.

Then in your conky add a line somewhere like this:

SSID:$alignr${execi 300 /home/chris/.local/essid.sh}

Modify that path to point to the file you saved previously. Then restart conky enjoy!

My conky at the moment... seems that I can't quite figure out how to keep the fortune within the left lateral limits of my design. If anyone can point out the error of my ways, I would greatly appreciate it.

For my weather stuff you actually need two files paste the first into a file called weather.sh and put it somewhere, then edit your conky to include a line like the bold line in my conky, change the number at the end of the line to your zip code (that line checks weather every 5 minutes), in the weather.sh you need to edit the RUNDIR (also bold)

weather.sh -->

#!/bin/sh

#
# Grab weather data from weather.com and format it according to the given XSLT
# Script written by boojit
# Modified by Hellf[i]re
# The orignal script and xslt can be downloaded from http://pondol.com/weather.tar.gz

# Usage:
# ${execi 1800 /path/to/weather/weather.sh location}
# Usage Example:
# ${execi 1800 /home/user/weather/weather.sh 03833}

# your Location ID: use http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=[yourcity] to find it 
# U.S. users can just use their zip code; doubt that works for anyone else though (YMMV)
LOCID=$1

# s=standard units, m=metric units
UNITS=s

# where this script and the XSLT lives
RUNDIR=/home/featherking/.local 

# there's probably other stuff besides CURL that will work for this, but i haven't 
# tried any others. 
# you can get curl at http://curl.haxx.se/
CURLCMD=/usr/bin/curl

# get it at http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
XSLTCMD=/usr/bin/xsltproc

# you probably don't need to modify anything below this point....

# CURL url. Use cc=* for current forecast or dayf=10 to get a multi-day forecast
CURLURL="http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/$LOCID?cc=*&unit=$UNITS&dayf=2"

# The XSLT to use when translating the response from weather.com
# You can modify this xslt to your liking 
XSLT=$RUNDIR/weather.xslt 

#filter (if you want to convert stuff to lower-case or upper case or something)
#FILTER="|gawk '{print(tolower(\$0));}'"


#####
eval "$CURLCMD \"$CURLURL\" 2>/dev/null| $XSLTCMD $XSLT - $FILTER"

the second file is called weather.xslt. copy the below and save as that and put in the same dir as your weather.sh. You shouldnt need to edit anything in the .xslt i added some spaces throughout to format it a little better because i couldnt figure it out any other way.

weather.xslt -->

<!-- 

 This XSLT is used to translate an XML response from the weather.com
 XML API. 

 You can format this file to your liking. Two things you may feel 
 like doing:

	1) Modify the layout of the fields or static text already defined
	2) Add other fields from the XML response file that aren't referenced in this
	   XSLT. You can grab a full list by just doing a: 
           wget "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/$LOCID?cc=*&unit=$UNITS" 
           (change $LOCID and $UNITS to suit your needs)

You *may* also need to 'apt-get install curl', curl seems to function like wget - basically just downloads the xml from the weather.com site.

I know that is a lot of text but its really simple, copy and paste and save those two files, edit a few lines and add a line in your conky. Let me know how it works for you

EDIT: you need to make 'weather.sh' executable too, forgot to put that (you can right click on it go to properties > permissions > check 'execute' box)
