Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Also, someone from Conky Hardcore PPA wanna PM me? I can probably copy my scripts over to your PPA as well...

Hi,

Here is another clock widget for conky written in Lua. It's easy to use because you have to cut/paste the code but there are some parameters to set ... hum ... about 25 parameters, that seems a lot but clock can be fully customized like in the image below.

Update 6 april 2010 - v1.2 : the cairo surface is now created in the widget, not in the main function. To use the clock, you don't need to copy/paste the code in the lua, just import the script with his path (more infos in the README)

dofile("/home/wlourf/clock/clock.lua")

I need help with something. My conky is getting cut off. Attached is a screenshot to show you what I am talking about. Hopefully it is obvious enough where I don't have to try to understand.

And here is my conkyrc ...

You need to throw into settings:

text_buffer_size 1024*

*adjust this size for your needs

Well so far I have added that, and increased it up to 10000, and yet nothing changes.

I wouldn't be surprised if a reboot fixes it, but I've had this problem before with other conky configurations, and the same problem arises from time to time.

This is literally a fresh and brand new #! installation. :\

[wlourf]

did you try "killall conky" before running your script ?

It is an ugly solution but you can try putting a bunch of blank returns (lines, enter, etc.) after the last line in your conky.

OMG secret conversations we're not allowed to know of!!

Nothing secret about it, he pages, O said to check his PM - has my email so he can send his conky to me to look at.

Now can I interest you in a bridge?

Have a nice day.

Text buffer is only needed if one call overflows the buffer like conkyForcast calling in a template for 7 days weather, thats where it needs to be increased.

In your case, I think commenting out a line will do the trick:

# minimum_size 800 200
maximum_width 240

Have a nice day.

That was my 1st thought too, but

minimum_size 800 200
maximum_width 240

doesn't stop the conky window from "growing" vertically. As far as I know nothing does, it just keeps on growing, it even grows beyond the top or botom end of the screen (depending on whether you align the conky with the top or botom edge).
