Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[Triblaze]

Hi! Thanks for all the uploaded configurations; they've helped a lot. Mine's working fine, except for one issue: I can't seem to get my conky window to behave the way I'd like. I'm trying to get it to go flat all the way across the bottom of my right screen, but it won't go past the middle of the screen, and if I put in more content it trails off the screen to the right! I've messed with min/max window settings till I'm blue in the face. Help!

conky.conf:

Right now your maximum width is 1500, if your screen is big and significantly larger than 1500 across, that could be part of it, and you should increase that.

Also, since things are normally aligned from left to right, it might be better to change alignment from bottom right to bottom left, and then use goto as suggested above to get the correct spacing across your screen.
goto is the distance between the text and the left side of conky, not the left side of the screen, therefore setting a higher goto value when conky is set to br will just push it more off the screen, hence a reason to use alignment bl.

[stinkeye]

Thanks for your reply, stinkeye.
I tried that before. It just runs off the screen, like so:

What about your alignment.
eg try

alignment bl

[LoREZ]

Bah! Turns out it was a restart issue -- even though I restarted before. Ridiculous...

Still not perfect, but the main issue is solved. Sheesh...

And thanks again, stinkeye. Yeah, I tried alignment tweaking before, and it didn't work. It seemed that previously the windows size itself wouldn't change until now.

Welcome gentleman’s! Pleasure to be here again


Q1:
I am trying to figure out what's going on with my CPU sensors. I have AMD 64bit, 1.8GHz, Dual Core.

In the sensors I have cpu0, cpu1, cpu2.
Bit of surprise... I have just one "double sore" so I don't know what's happening now. Which one is which ? All of the work and show different % of usage.



Q2:
On The picture below, you can see 4 double rings. I was wondering if I could split each ring into 3 equal parts and make them change colour. First 33% of the ring (= beginning) as green, next 33% orange (= middle) and last 33% - red (end of scale). Would it be possible ?

Go go thread attachment.. PLEASE..

usualy cpu1 would be the first core
cpu2 would be the second core
and cpu0 is average cpu use (average of the 2 cores)

EDIT- i see you mean temperatures not, usage

type

sensors

in a terminal and see what it puts out

possible, yes (anything is possible with lua! )
however, that would require a re-write of the lua script

[akernan]

Is anybody able to successfully use the conky weather icon variable?

If so, where do I put the weather.com kit icon images?

I use conkyForecast, just curious about the conky weather & weatherforecast varibles.

there are 2 problems with this script:

1. hddtemp /dev/sda ain't working without root permissions.
2. I added the weather information at the end of the script, but its partially displayed (see the attachment) I tried increasing the height of the conky window from the "minimum_size" variable but with no result, neither did incresing "text_buffer_size" (does it help anyway??) .

what are the possible fixes?

1: make sure that hddtemp is set to run as daemon at startup
try sudo dpkg reconfigure-hddtemp { I'am not sure if the dash belongs between recon and hdd or between dpkg and recon}and make sure to select ok to all options, the daemon one gives you a warning about it but it needs to run in startup...

2: not sure about the conky expanding problem but try killall conky in terminal and then restart it to see if that works....
also there is alot of voffset in this conky you may have to use it to bring weather info up to be seen


now a question for you, what did you edit in the lua to change the color of the ring from grey to blue?

[debd]

thanks.. dpkg-reconfigure did work.

and am not yet sure about the window problem. killal didn't work but after I restarted my computer it was ok.

and about the lua script bit.. notice the variables "graph_fg_colour" and "hand_fg_colour" ?
change the values of all their instances in the script with hex color code.

you have to place the hex color code after "0x' for e.g. hex code FFFFFF becomes 0xFFFFFF.
my choise,

graph_fg_colour=0x25B6CA
hand_fg_colour=0x191919
