November 2011 Conky Thread

Sector11 · 2011-11-01 14:38:18

The monthly conky thread purpose:

seek help with conky, and
show your conky and the files that created them

-----------------------------------------------------------
And in accordance with the screenshot thread:

Please continue to use thumbnails (please try to avoid the large thumbnail imgur.com code) linking to the larger image to help those of us with slow connections. An example of the code needed is below. Most image hosting sites will automatically generate this for you as well. I've been using postimage.org lately which does a nice job.

dont worry I just started modifying about a month ago and this is what I have now. There are many helpful people on here so if you have questions just ask.

Same as oct but now I made a keyboard shortcut to change my conky,tint2, wallpaper,etc. I did this so when I go outside I can actually read with the sun glare. The all black was making it impossible to see anything

## Xfce autostart.sh
## =================
## When you login to your CrunchBang Xfce session, this autostart script 
## will be executed to set-up your environment and launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## This script is fashioned after Openbox's autostart.sh file.
## More information about this can be found at:

## If you do something cool with your autostart script and you think others
## could benefit from your hack, please consider sharing it at:

##
## NOTE ABOUT CONDITIONS
## ---------------------
## Varios commands in this script are conditional. Conditions have been added
## as Xfce has its own internal session manager, which will happily autostart
## some of CrunchBang's default autostart applications. If you know of a
## better way of handling this, please consider sharing it at:
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/

## Have fun! :)

From last month regarding Jpope's Cairo Side Bar...

@ Jpope - Hey man thanks for responding! I didn't see that until today when I went back to last month's thread. I am looking forward to the new version. As for parsing for updates I found something that seems to work however I don't know why. I just went digging through the Linux Mint scripts until I found something that looked like something that might do something. I combined it with your command and now the count shows 0 updates which is correct. Now I have to wait until there are some updates to see if it is actually working. Here is what I have but I don't know if it makes any sense lol:

${execi 3600 aptitude search '~U' | ps -A | grep mintUpdate | wc -l | tail > ~/.conky/cairosidebar/upd}

Still with the one-liner; one of these years I may change it:

{this only works in the USA because of the lua and accuweather script}
With winter coming I wanted to get some detailed weather info going in conky. But after reading the conky weather disaster thread,I knew my first choice was out...
But more reading and searching paid off......A lot of this comes from Sector11 posts,Mr Peachys radartest.lua and some from that orange forum too.....
I set this up to start and stop like any program because it has so much info in it and it is a large conky
that I don't want it on the desktop all the time...just start it when wanted and stop it like any program.
You have to add it to your start menu to do this.It has a window border with all the buttons working.

I set this up to start and stop like any program because it has so much info in it and it is a large conky
that I don't want it on the desktop all the time...just start it when wanted and stop it like any program.
You have to add it to your start menu to do this.It has a window border with all the buttons.

WOW!!!!! Just when I thought I have seen everything conky is able to do, you go off and post a conky that actually has the current weather map along with a closable window???????? AMAZING!!!

I want that!!!!!! big_smile

All the best,

You can't have it - it's dlm955's big_smile
Windowed conkys have been around for a while.

If you use OpenBox if not just ignore the OpenBox part and create a menu entry in Xfce or GNOME or ......

I think of the most amazing things when I'am sleep deprived.....

When I was working on that I saw how much of my desktop it used..and noticed my cpu usage was way up so that was a big factor in making it close.
and thank you....

One of the best reasons to put conky in a window - when it's sleep depri -- no wait - when it's CPU hungry.

That looks really good.

Still with the one-liner; one of these years I may change it:

I second accuweather it's a great and good looking script.

Here's a script to display your Facebook notifications

#!/bin/bash
numberoflines=5
address="<URL of Facebook RSS feed>"
wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.55 Safari/533.4" -q $address -O - | grep title | sed 's/<title>//g' | sed 's/<\/title>//g' | sed "s/\&apos\;/'/g" | sed 's/\&quot\;/"/g' | tail -n +2 | head -n $numberoflines

To use this, you need the URL of your Facebook RSS Feed. To get this, click on your Notifications icon and click "See all Notifications". Near the top, there should be an option to download the RSS feed. That is the URL you paste in to the third line of the script.

Accuweather is good, but only gives 3 days to us International Users. So a marriage of Accuweather and Wunderground makes for a nice combo. Since Wunderground seems to only give "forecast" info it does "nights" of the first three days and days and nights for the rest in the conky on the right.

Here's three -- two in a window and one down the side mixed with other "conky stuff" - I'm still playing with the pure Wunderground one.

three_conkys.zip

Oh Oh, I just saw there is an error there, after a certain time, Wunderground stops forecasting today - makes sense, and starts with tomorrow, which messes things up. Guess I need to play with some ${if_match} statements.

Oh well, I'll leave the files if anyone wants them.
