Thanks for the advice... Works well in conky!

Script for grabbing info out of nvclock -i

Just save as gpuinfo.sh and use the example in the code
Only tested with nvclock 0.8 and gf 4400/gf6800
If copy/past doesn't work then try downloading it from here

# Simple script (my first bashscript ever!) for grabbing info out of 'nvclock -i'  
# - meant for torsmo/conky users with nvidia cards, by grimzy (grimzy@monet.no)
#
# Requires nvclock 0.8 and a nvidia-based card (only tested with gf 4400/gf6800 and nvclock 0.8). 
# Note that only newer nvidia cards have temp-sensors.
# Also, make sure you have permission to run nvclock -i.

# Example for .torsmorc/.conkyrc:
# GPU: ${exec sh gpuinfo.sh boardname} (${exec sh gpuinfo.sh boardchip})
#  Mhz ${execi 10 sh gpuinfo.sh gpuspeed} (Mem ${execi 10 sh gpuinfo.sh memspeed})
#  Temp ${execi 10 sh gpuinfo.sh gputemp} (Board ${execi 10 sh gpuinfo.sh boardtemp})
#

if [ -z "$1" ]
then
  echo "Usage: `basename $0` [boardname|boardchip|boardtemp|gputemp|gpuspeed|memspeed]"

  {
  read line1
  } < $file
  let "line1 += 10"
  # Check if file has been updated less than 10secs ago (No reason to spam nvclock - uses less cpu (I think :P))
  # Change 10 to a lower value if you want it to be updated more often.
  if [ "$(date +%s)" -gt "$line1" ]

Hello!

I have little problem with gmail.pl posted by someone in that topic ...
My /tmp/gmail.txt looks like that:

Code: Select all

totalmessages=1
newmessages=0
status=Using  () of

That total message is _new_ message (not readed), but why is not displayed in newmessages=1
And imho status check is broken in this script... (it should be in my event: Using 0MB (0%) of 1000MB).
Please help.

Greetings!
TmH.

Can someone repost the powerstatus script ??
The original link is broken =(.

I would love to get my hands on it.

Thanks guys

For those interested in the weather stuff, now would be a good time to check out conky. The next version of conky will have the weather stuff built in (it's in the dev snapshot currently), with temperatures in C and F. More on conky:

Sweet thanks ! =)

Works great with my auto hibernation scripts.

[StarDragon]

can anyone point me to howto get cpu temp to show up? i cant figure it out from the config file, im trying something like this:

Code: Select all

${color}CPU %:${color } $cpu% ${color}CPU Temp:${color } $temp1 C

but im getting 0 for the reading, also tried $acpitemp and still getting the same thing.

[gnychis]

stardragon: do you have everything set up to actually read temperatures from your motherboard? conky can't do it by itself

[StarDragon]

yeap, i think thats my problem, are there any leads on how to get the acpi or i2c sensors setup? i can't find anything on the torsmo website.

[nonas]

torsmo is deprecated, you should try Conky. (see this thread)

Hardware Sensors on Gentoo Wiki

HTH.

[StarDragon]

i should probably start a new topic, but after i run sensors-detect and try to load all my modules i get this:

Code: Select all

leamonde linux # modprobe eeprom
leamonde linux # modprobe via686a
FATAL: Module via686a not found.
leamonde linux # modprobe i2c-viapro
leamonde linux # modprobe i2c-isa
FATAL: Module i2c_isa not found.
leamonde linux # 

how do i get those two modules from the kernel?

[edit:] nevermind i got it, just had to dig around to configuration file.

[StarDragon]

torsmo is deprecated, you should try Conky. (see this thread)

well i tried emerging that package and i get:

Code: Select all

leamonde ~ # emerge -Nva conky

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "conky" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-admin/conky-1.3.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- app-admin/conky-1.3.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

leamonde ~ # 

maybe i shouldn't mess with it just yet.

Created some directories that I put all of my conky related scripts in;

Code: Select all

$ mkdir ~/scripts/conky

gccver - gives current gcc version

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
 gcc --version | awk 'NR==1 { print $3 }'

cpu_temp - gives current cpu temp

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2, $3}'

I also made an alias to assist while I was tweaking my conky settings..

Code: Select all

alias reconky='killall -SIGUSR1 conky'

I put this at the end of ~/.bashrc and then issued a "source ~/.bashrc". That way, its easy to just restart the conky process while on my desktop.

The only other thing I needed to do was to emerge DateManip in order to get the Lastsync.pl file to work, and make some edits to the weater location info.

Here is a picture of my current desktop where you can see Conky in action.

Hi!
Geministorm can you post your emerge*.sh and *.rdf scripts?
Thanks

Bye

Oooops I found it here

[Larcen]

Geministorm: Any suggestions where i2c / lmsensors would store their temps, or whatever? Your cat /proc/acpi/ etc doesn't quite fit the same bill on my system. Thanks.

Or can it be changed in .torsmorc?

Try changing link=USMI0231.html to link=USMI0231_c.html.

[davejk]

I can't seem to get Torsmo to recognize my ~/.torsmorc. I even tried torsmo -c /home/zak/.torsmorc. But my changes don't take effect. What is wrong here? I am really anxious to try out these tips!

[nonas]

Do you know that torsmo is not maintained anymore ?
You should try out app-admin/conky, its successor.

[davejk]

Yes I know but by default conky writes it's own window, and I would like it to jut write to the root window (in fluxbox) and stay transparent. But there is no man page for it apparently, and I don't know what to do with it.

Torsmo just does what I want by default, so I used it.

[blind-tnk]

True, but by setting a simple

Code: Select all

background = yes

in conky's config it can be done.
