df tells me that i have 5.5 gig used on /home (ext3), while conky 1.3 and 1.3.1 shows 6.95 {fs_used /home} |
1gb = 1024mb
1mb = 1024kb
1kb = 1024bytes
so make sure you're using df -h to compare |

#/usr/bin/df -h
/dev/hda3 29G 5.5G 22G 21% /home
#/usr/bin/df -H
/dev/hda3 31G 5.9G 24G 21% /home
df is right about used space, conky still says 6.95G :/ can't understand why |

@yaq: i checked my df -h output and have same differences as you
conky tells me of 20.26 GB used space, but it should be 18.82 GB
(fs_size works ok)
edit: maybe it has something to do with the filesystem? problem occurs only on ext3 (i checked a fat32 partition and there it is correct) |

Woops...I though this was fixed in 1.3.1. This is definitely a bug, I will fix it. |

Another bug(?) I found:
Although I set "use_xft" to "no" conky tries to load the font given in "xftfont".
It gives me "can't load font xyz".
Shouldn't this variable be ignored, if "use_xft" is set to "no"? |

Did you see this one ?  (in this post) | nonas wrote: | [...]
Bug ?
A screenshot and the .conkyrc part corresponding :

${diskiograph 20 990033 cc3300}
${alignc}${diskiograph 20 990033 cc3300} |
The third graph doesn't draw anything and I don't know why the second is not 20px height like the first one. 
I didn't try with the cpugraph nor with the [up/down]speedgraph.

The same problem occurs with the other graphs. |

Basically a bash script is just a text file. You need to allow the execution of this file by running chmod +x file.sh.
Don't forget to read the man page too (man chmod)

${color grey}${hr} |
however it works when the device (wlan/eth0 in this example) exists, i.e. does not have to be even up/used. for me it works cos if i have loaded modules from the devices it means that i'm using it.

if you want to print only the devices which are used you need find another solution.
cheers

|
|
Hello!
Im trying to let conky display the battery status of my G4 powerbook.
In the Readme, the value "battery" should be for Remaining capacity in ACPI or APM battery.
But at start, conky is claiming: "can't open /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state: No such file or directory"
Of course conky can not find acpi dir. Its ppc. But there is apm.
How can I force conky to read the apm battery?
Other apps like wmapm are reading the battery status correctly.
The only values that contain apm are for FreeBSD only and do not work here for me.
Any suggestions? Any ppc user out there?
Greetings,
Lupo |

are you using $battery or ${battery BAT0}? |

Hi brenden!
I tried it with $battery.
I thought ${battery BAT0} is only optional in case of 2 batteries.
Greetings,
Lupo
edit: No success. ${battery BAT0} or ${battery}, its the same error.  |

Hi guys,
My apologies if this has been answered already, but how do I run conky with 2 configuration files? (I used to know this, but I'm drawing a blank right now). I tried running two instances (one with the -c option) but only one of them is visible at a time.
Thanx

Conky generates a weird message in a $linkstatus field when wireless is not connected.
So I tried to patch a few lines.

Thanks for the patch. Since I have no way to test this (I don't have wireless), I'll take your word that it's okay. |

In my ibook g3-500, your code does not work.
After following message produces, conky quits.
