Good stuff because this was getting really hard to maintain!

A nice three post thread with a possible answer.

Lets face it - Confucius say, "Man with two watches never sure of correct time!"

top and htop are not tha same ...

Is the glass half full or half empty?


Did you find the image or create the complete fang sitting?

Thanks for the link, it appears I just have too many watches then. I suppose I can always grep or awk the info from top if I really want its count. It's not critical, I was just curious about reason for the difference.

I found the image (PNG) as is on line. I have been known to make PNG files from JPEGs using GIMP though, usually to make icons for programs. I think I made the Sun PNG for the weather conky I put together awhile back from a JPEG I found. I think you might have just inspired me to try to make some more for my conky over the weekend, if I have nothing better to do.

My conky is evolving. Just figured I'd post the latest progress.

[kobayash1]

Hello again. I made my first post on these boards almost a month ago to show off my first attempt at conky. Today I want to post up another screenshot of my current conky, list a few of the changes I've made, and offer up my .conf file for perusal and suggestions.

This was my first iteration. This is what it looks like today.

I've since figured out which fan is which, added desktop environment and window manager, cleaned up format, reduced punctuation, added video card GPU and memory frequencies, added hard disk drive temperature, and added top 5 memory processes.

Here is my .conf:

use_xft yes
xftfont Zekton:size=9
xftalpha 0.1
update_interval 2
total_run_times 0
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
minimum_size 250 5
maximum_width 1500
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
default_color DimGray
default_shade_color red
default_outline_color green
alignment top_right
gap_x 25
gap_y 10
no_buffers no
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 1
override_utf8_locale yes
text_buffer_size 256

A couple of questions:

--I couldn't compile 1.9.0 from source with the --enable-nvidia tag because I kept getting the missing nvctrl.h error. So I installed conky-all from Ubuntu repositories. Now I can enjoy the native ${nvidia} variables, though it doesn't call all the data I want (memory usage and fan capacity). The version is 1.8.1. Am I missing anything cool from 1.9.0?

--Currently with my existing .conf file, my HDD is in constant use (every 2 seconds) because of my "${exec sensors > ~/.conky/lm-sensors_output}" line. I tried removing that line and just calling "sensors" in every line where I need it (temps, fan speeds). This kept my HDD from constantly saving a new "lm-sensors_output" file, but it increased my CPU usage across all 4 cores. I would normally idle at 0-2%, but with all those lines calling "sensors" I would idle at about 2-4%. Which way is more elegant and less intensive? Or is there a better way than the two I've tried?

--Lastly, sometimes the ${top_mem} order is out of whack. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?


EDIT: Real slick conky, Nolix!
