Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[vickoxy]

Thought I'd post my latest setup, just music and forecast output this time, but with the aid of mpdcron for my mpd based music output.

mpdcron
I use mpd to listen to music. Alongside this I am running mpdcron, a daemon that provides customisable "hooks" to allow actions to be executed based on available song data and player events etc.
I use it to populate a songs coverart and lyrics into known files in /tmp/ whenever there's a song change. The coverart is sym linked to /tmp/coverart.jpg if found in ~/.covers.
The lyrics text is sym linked to /tmp/coverart.jpg if found in ~/.lyrics.
The mpdcron_hooks.tar.gz file attached contains the scripts used, these files go into the folder ~/.mpdcron/hooks.
mpdcron can be found here: http://alip.github.com/mpdcron/ - there is a ppa for it detailed on the main page towards the bottom.

conky
The rest of the conky related files are all in conkybits.tar.gz. These are as follows:

conky.sh - startup script for conky, use without args on system start for a default delay, with args to dictate a wait time before execution
conky_forecast - the main conkyrc file for forecast, refered to in conky.sh
conky_forecast.vert.template - the template for the above file
conky_mpd.bar - the main conkyrc for music output, refered to in conky.sh
opaque.png - used to provide opaque background as seen in the screenshot, you'll find ${image} variable which point to this

All these files are setup to work with my file paths, so some modifications will be needed before it works for anyone else...

I think I uploaded everything, if you think anything is missing or have any questions let me know.

Note: there is one problem with it in that when song lyrics are long they fall off the end of the opaque background...anyone know if it is possible to have a vertical scrolling set of text via lua maybe?

Have fun

Just wanted to ask-what icons/weather font do you use there? Any download link, or should i tweak a lot to have those icons in my conky?

SOLVED-i figured that lines as

${image [--datatype=WI] -p 115,195 -s 53x53}

are making this job done. How? Don´t ask me?

I am stumped.

I have a dual boot machine with a hard drive split in half. One carries Win XP at /dev/hda1 and the other is Ubuntu on /dev/hda6.

My conky script for those graphs is as follows:

${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}LINUX:${font}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}${fs_free /dev/sda6}/${fs_size /dev/sda6}${font}${alignr}${fs_bar 8,60 /}
${voffset 2}${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}ACER:${font}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}${fs_free /media/ACER}/${fs_size /media/ACER}${font}${alignr}${fs_bar 8,60 /}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=8}NETWORK${font} ${hr 2}

My ACER graph is reporting the correct output (14.1GiB/50.0Gib)

But my LINUX output is reporting 749MiB/749MiB.... I have tried to change /dev/ to no avail.

Is there someting here in this code I am not getting correct? I have tried to compare it to other's code and it looks correct....

Thanks...

You said Ubuntu installed to /dev/hda6, but your conky code has it as /dev/sda6.

Hi,
i added new weather icons to my conky weather template. But i would love them to be more visible/light colored/brighter- as e.g. in conky from cviorel (see pic).
Is something like that possible?

${color white}${voffset -13}${font Weather:size=40}y${font} ${voffset -38}${font Trebuchet MS:size=26}[--datatype=HT]${font}
${font :size=5}         [--datatype=LU]${font}
${alignc}${voffset 0}[--datatype=CT]
${voffset 2}${alignc}[--datatype=BR] • [--datatype=HM] • [--datatype=WS] [--datatype=WD]
${color light grey}${voffset 3}${alignr 116}[--datatype=DW --startday=1 --shortweekday]${alignr 80}[--datatype=DW --startday=2 --shortweekday]${alignr 46}[--datatype=DW --startday=3 --shortweekday]${alignr 13}[--datatype=DW --startday=4 --shortweekday]
${voffset 0}${font Trebuchet MS:size=7}${alignr 135}[--datatype=LT --startday=1 --hideunits]${alignr 100}[--datatype=LT --startday=2 --hideunits]${alignr 64}[--location=AUXX0025 --datatype=LT --startday=3 --hideunits]${alignr 29}[--datatype=LT --startday=4 --hideunits]${font}${alignr}
${voffset 0}${font Trebuchet MS:size=7}${alignr 139}[--datatype=HT --startday=1 --hideunits]${alignr 90}[--datatype=HT --startday=2 --hideunits]${alignr 59}[--location=AUXX0025 --datatype=HT --startday=3 --hideunits]${alignr 29}[--datatype=HT --startday=4 --hideunits]${font}${alignr}${color}
${voffset -23}${font ConkyWeather:size=15}${alignc -3}${font}
${voffset 0}
${image [--datatype=WI] -p 105,193 -s 53x53}
${image [--datatype=WI --startday=1] -p 18,286 -s 30x30}
${image [--datatype=WI --startday=2] -p 63,286 -s 30x30}
${image [--datatype=WI --startday=3] -p 110,286 -s 30x30}
${image [--datatype=WI --startday=4] -p 156,286 -s 30x30}

P.S: I figured it that background picture is causing the icons to be darker. Still, is there any way to make them brighter?

You said Ubuntu installed to /dev/hda6, but your conky code has it as /dev/sda6.

Edit---- I said I was lacking certain mental capacities, but in looking at my .conkyrc file, it seems I misreported my issue....

My hard drive is reporting /dev/sda6/ for the linux partition....this is the portion that is not reporting correctly as stated in my previous post. Is the code not correct>?

Sorry for the confusion...

Here is the corrected post....

Hi,

Here is my last conky with two smiley widgets, theses widgets are linked to some conky variables;
For yellow one: eyes are upload and download speeds and mouth is $wireless_link_qual_perc. (good signal = smile)
The orange one : eyes are cpu0 and cpu1, mouth is $memperc (small memory used = smile) and the color is linked to $acpitemp (yellow = cold, red = hot)
If you try it, you have to set your own variables at the end of the Lua script (wlan0, cpu0 ...)




conky, README and Lua script are in the attachments.

Any comments are welcome

Open a terminal and run the command:

df -h

to verify your mount points - post the results if you think it will help. If your hard drive is split in half, I think your linux partition by default will be /dev/sda2; Did you happen to create a ~800MiB swap file that is residing on /dev/sda6 (the swap file mount point will be listed in the /etc/fstab file)?

[dk75]

yes, SWAP is listed in FSTAB but not in MTAB or *df -h*

cat /etc/fstab |grep swap

Try it with these edits :

${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}LINUX:${font}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}${fs_free /dev/sda6}/${fs_size /dev/sda6}${font}${alignr}${fs_bar 8,60 /}
${voffset 2}${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}ACER:${font}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=7}${fs_free /media/ACER/}/${fs_size /media/ACER/}${font}${alignr}${fs_bar 8,60 /media/ACER/}
${font Dejavu Sans Considered:size=8}NETWORK${font} ${hr 2}

N.B. When nothig is mounted in /media/ACER/ you will get the same values for /media/ACER/ as for /.
