I'm kind of curious now: are there many differences between gkrellm and conky? They seem almost exactly the same.

Hi, I'm trying to configure my conky to how I want it but need some help.

Here's my .conkyrc file (I've stolen it from somewhere else)

Code:

First question is how do I get the conky to be transparent so that it looks like it is part of the desktop?

Thanks in advance.

"emerge -C conky"
then
"emerge --depclean"
to delete anything that conky pulled in just for itself

the problem i have is that i did that then i downloaded source and installed in /usr/src and then tried to uninstall that and that is what i am having issues with now...should i just do this:

locate conky
then delete all the directories it brings back then clean install?

i was trying to get conky to build with wifi variables enabled and doing emerge conky i guess doesn't do that....

i have a question for anyone using conky with kde 4.3x with transparency enabled.

i have it working via the use of feh....ie i use feh to draw the background to match that of the kde desktop then i start conky after a 50 second or so delay.

the transparency works, however, i get a shadowy outline of conky....does anyone know how to get rid of this effect?

also if i move conky around the desktop, shouldnt it be able to update its background accoriding to its new coordinates? i am sure this used to happen in the past but it no longer happens.

i start conky as follows:

Quote:
#! /bin/bash
feh --bg-scale `grep 'wallpaper=' ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc | tail --bytes=+11`
sleep 50
conky -&


and my conkyrc file is:

just a follow up to this, i've solved the shadow effect problem. i discovered this only happens only when compositing is turned on in kde.

going to "system settings" -> Desktop -> "Desktop Effects" -> and unchecking the "Shadows" checkbox below compositing fixes the problem

"temperature_unit" is only used to set the readings to celsius or fahrenheit, it doesn't output anything itself.

What's the output of `ls /sys/class/hwmon/*`?

I like gkrellm better then conky, but started to use conky recently (in addition to gkrellm) to just show time in different timezones. Using e16 1.0.1 with 3 virtual desktops. Conky works fine on all desktops, but If I'm using desktop-1 or desktop-2, conky will shutdown after about 5 minutes. If I use only desktop-0 (the real root window), conky runs forever.

I wondering if conky has a problem with how e16 handles virtual desktops. Any ideas?

ok i followed tyhe instructions here : http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Lm_sensors to install lm_sensors.

after i ran sensors-detect, i found NO sensors:
Code:
...Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an
I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported....


this is on an appletv running gentoo of course. is there a way to check if my hardware actually has any sensors...? i did this hoping for temperature sensors.

I just emerged conky with USE="ipv6 truetype vim-syntax wifi -X -audacious -debug -hddtemp -mpd -nano-syntax -nvidia -rss -smapi". I am intending to run console-only conky here on my server. First run with default configuration gives:
Code:

patrikas@serveris ~ $ conky
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 27: no such configuration: 'alignment'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 29: no such configuration: 'border_width'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 31: no such configuration: 'default_color'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 32: no such configuration: 'default_outline_color'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 33: no such configuration: 'default_shade_color'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 34: no such configuration: 'draw_borders'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 35: no such configuration: 'draw_graph_borders'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 36: no such configuration: 'draw_outline'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 37: no such configuration: 'draw_shades'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 38: no such configuration: 'font'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 39: no such configuration: 'gap_x'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 40: no such configuration: 'gap_y'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 41: no such configuration: 'minimum_size'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 45: no such configuration: 'own_window'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 46: no such configuration: 'own_window_class'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 47: no such configuration: 'own_window_type'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 48: no such configuration: 'stippled_borders'
Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none.  'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none.
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 52: no such configuration: 'show_graph_scale'
Conky: /etc/conky/conky.conf: 53: no such configuration: 'show_graph_range'


And I see many weird characters (perhaps ANSI escape sequences to set a color of the text ?) in the beginning of almost each line. I removed ${color}, ${*bar} tags and they disappeared, however I would like to achieve similar view of 'top' which updates display. Is it possible to do that ? Now it keeps writing each update to the console separately. If it's not then are there any other (maybe ncurses based) monitors with similar functionality ?

Hi, Thanks for reply. I got following errors with default configuration as written in my first message, this configuration is:

I guess it shouldn't be like that since it's default configuration and it seems it fully depends on X USE flags. Just curious.. should I fill the bug report ? :roll:

Later I changed it to:
