Conky 1.7.1.1 compiled Sun Jul 5 14:02:25 EST 2009 for Linux 2.6.27-14-generic (x86_64)

Compiled in features:

System config file: /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.conf
......

what happened to the wireless stuff?? how do I get them added in the compiled features??

If you compiled it, the default doesn't have wifi enabled. You gotta be careful after you run the ./configure and check all that everything you need is enabled/disabled.

When compiling run this to enable wifi variables.

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wlan

Then run your "make"s

--prefix=/usr line is just to make sure it finds its way to the bin.

and now I'm getting this:

Code:

Conky: unknown variable freq_dyn
Conky: unknown variable wireless_essid
Conky: unknown variable wireless_ap
Conky: unknown variable wireless_link_qual_perc
Conky: unknown variable wireless_bitrate

what happened to the wireless stuff?? how do I get them added in the compiled features??

Also the freq_dyn variables were removed and won't be coming back

Are you talking about conky in general?

Look here: HowTo: A Beginners Guide to Setting up Conky.

If that's not what you are talking about, just what is it that you like and want instructions on how to use install?

Have a nice day.

Dudes..this thread rocks..thanks to all those who initiated and contributed to this thread. But, I got a problem with my conky file that I picked it up from this thread{thanks to Detroit/Zero User}. Initially, I had few problems like:
>> Time & date were beneath panel {could not see it}
>> wireless was not visible at all and ethernet was displayed for nothing as I use wireless.{deleted ethernet code from my conky and replaced ath0 with wlan0..that way got the wireless part}

But I still have few problems with it,
>> when running on battery, it shows AC Adaptor

ff-line but battery % is always 0%.
>> CPU temperatures for both cores are not at all displayed.

tried my best here..cudn't succeed.
>>In Wireless section, Down and Up are always 0 k/s even if my wireless if up.

I am posting all the files I have on my laptop

After three days of practically no Internet, meaning connections of 5000 b/s and getting ready to KILL someone. I went from one extremely angry person to one happy, grinning like a banshee, jumping up and down ape, excited puppy peeing all over the place type guy.

Good going.

Was the .deb made using checkinstall?
