Conky Scripts + Photos

Well..........

Someone had to start this thread.

Here is a plain and simple one that I got from Crunchbang and changed.

@ Taco.22, do you have a copy of that conky script that shows time zones in it.

[melodie]

Very nice, simple and lean! But how come the cpu is 0% use in there ? That seems strange.

[konaexpress]

hhhhhmmmmmmm...................don't know.

[melodie]

You could check what "htop" returns, and you could try having a look in ~/.xsession-errors where maybe some information about conky behavior may be available.

[djohnston]

But how come the cpu is 0% use in there ? That seems strange.

The conkyrc is correct. On something as lean and mean as Crunchbang, the CPU will alternate between 0 and 1% at rest. That is normal. His screenshot just caught it at the 0% mark.

[djohnston]

Here's the conkyrc used for DebWeb. It was based on one Taco.22 created with time zone displays. I changed some colors and added ZRAM usage display.

Thats a nice one.

I will have to take a look at this, she maybe correct as I am using my small Bobcat distro and not CB at the moment of this screen capture. It is based off of Madbox so I would think it should use more ram and CPU.

[djohnston]

After a second look, she is right. You left out a set of curly braces. Here's mine:

${color}CPU: ${alignr}${cpu}%

Here's yours:

CPU usage:$alignr${cpu cpu0}%

Yours should be:

CPU usage:${alignr}${cpu cpu0}%

See if that works. If not, try:

CPU usage:${alignr}${cpu0 cpu1}%

I can't remember the syntax for displaying more than one CPU.

[konaexpress]

Nope, it is working as you can tell by this screenshot.

I just can't do the 3 finger shuffle fast enough to get the screen shot before the CPU dumps down.

[djohnston]

Okay. So, you made no changes? It was already working?

[konaexpress]

Yea, no changes. I was playing with my Conky Manager so I could edit the file to what you had when I noticed that the CPU meter was moving. It spiked at about  6% and dropped like a rock, I think it is the Gambas runtime doing that.

[melodie]

Well done!

I would like to have a conky with the content of djohnston's, and the transparency as the one kona has done (to put into the next OB Bento to come, and for my own use in Arch as well). Do you think it possible ?

[djohnston]

Both have transparency. It's the following line that does it:

own_window_transparent yes

Couldn't get HD temp to work, it's on a flash drive.     But on a HD it would.
Have to clean up the script if anyone wants it.
