Huullloooo! Yeah, I thought you'd been quiet. It's all kicked off around here, you've got a lot to catch up on!

No kidding - and it looks like everyone is following the piper!

Hello piper londonali1010!!

Oh and for the clock - stop thinking in "decimals"!
Think in °-degrees (hours) '-minutes "-seconds

24 = 60*60*24 = 86400 seconds

1 hour = 3600 seconds
6 hours = 21600 seconds
30 minutes = 1800 seconds

hours
01/13 = 30°
02/14 = 60°
03/15 = 90°
04/16 = 120°
05/17 = 150°
06/18 = 180°
07/19 = 210°
08/20 = 240°
09/21 = 270°
10/22 = 300°
11/23 = 330°
12/24 = 360°

30 minutes is obviously 15° which would make 6:30 - 180+15 = 195°

Well, I didn't know that option existed so I'm no expert here, but a quick google seems to suggest that xft is an actual type of font... so it may not work unless you are using an xft font? I'm going to play around with it, it would be cool if conky had text transparency (alpha) from within the program instead of with 3rd party hacks.

[EDIT: scratch that, it works for me with truetype fonts... what version of conky are you using?]

Hi,

Yeah I tried that (changing to a xft font) by using:
"xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=8"
in my conky file.

Nothing changed.

Oh and I'm using conky 1.7.2 as I'm runnning the currently popular 'rings.lua' script.

Anyone any ideas as to why I cannot alpha out the text.

I know that it's possible, there is even a how-to on the conky-harcore site, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

http://conky.linux-hardcore.com/?page_id=1420

Any ideas ?

You mention 3rd party hacks. What would they be ?

Cheers.

sorry for the ugly coding, but it was a little here, little there with about 300 separate killall conky... conky commands typed.

anyone know why the disk usage bar for the fat32 drive 'M3D1A' isn't accurate?

Um, open nautilus and go to your ~/Scripts Directory.

(seriously, bolded and all caps? we weren't ignoring you... )


Now. If my suggestion does not answer your question try rephrasing it and give us a little context, like:

"I'm trying to find a file that's supposed to be in my ~/Scripts directory but I can't seem to find it."
or
"I'm trying to make conky display a list of the filenames in my ~/Scripts directory."

...we're more likely to hop in to help when we understand the issue.

Adding and removing empty lines does noting.

Hi. I saw the fun you guys are having with conky and I decided to join in. Great work everyone!

I don't have any prior experience with Lua, but I did figure out the reason that the rings don't match the hands in the clock_rings script. The clock hands have corrections such that, for example,

mins_arc=(2*math.pi/60)*mins+secs_arc/60

whereas the clock ring percentage is merely calculated by taking the number of minutes divided by 60. This means that pct only takes on values like
1/60 = 0.0166...
2/60 = 0.0333...
etc.

Obviously, it's worse for the hour hand because the granularity is larger -- pct has values like
1/12 = 0.0833...
2/12 = 0.1666...
etc.

The second-ring has no problems because the motion of the second-hand doesn't contain corrections from a smaller time increment.

Unfortunately, I don't have the expertise yet to fix it. It seems that some restructuring is needed because pct is a local variable of conky_clock_rings() and is calculated on independent runs for each of seconds, minutes and hours. As I mentioned, this is the first Lua code I have ever looked at, so I think someone else will have a better shot at fixing this than me.
