Hello. I tried putting them before the TEXT part but nothing has happened to my actual conky file. Actually, I can see a very faint outline of a box which flashes on for all of about 2 seconds and then disappears. I've checked the paths on the rc but maybe there's something in script pointing to something which doesn't exist. Also, I was taking a look at cairo. I'm not sure if I have it. I tried

sudo apt-get install cairo

but it said it couldn't find a package of that name. I then checked the repos for a cairo package. I didn't find one which was explicitly called 'cairo' (or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough) but there were several installed with names along the lines of 'cairo-python' etc. Does that help?

Re: Conky Help

Hi,

When displaying the CPU load I would like to have a format like this:
CPU: 000%

so that when the load is less than 10% it reads
CPU: 009%

and when the load is greater than or equal to 10% it reads
CPU: 011%

I have tried the following in conkyrc:
CPU:${if_match "${cpu cpu0}">"9"} 0${cpu cpu0}% ${else} 00${cpu cpu0}${endif}

However the conditioning works only for values less than 10%. For values greater than or equal to 10% it keeps returning an output as if less than 10%, that is:

For a 9% load, conky reads CPU: 009%, as expected, but for 11% for example, conky reads CPU: 0011% and not 011% as I want it to.
Any ideas how can i fix this?

Maybe try changing the else statement? I'd try removing the 2 zeros altogether or removing one and seeing if that makes a difference.

start your conkyrc from a terminal

and post any error messages you see

Damn it! I should've seen that a mile off... Well, anyway, when I got the LUA script to work, it had some issues with it that I didn't like. Namely, all four corners were curved when I only needed the bottom two as you can see here:

jn0i7I.png

So I played around with the script and finally got the result I needed, as you can see here:

By using my new-found commenting skill! smile Well, if you want to achieve the same effect, my (slightly) edited LUA is below:

Re: Conky Help

hope someone here can help me with something i've been trying to do for about 4 hours now.

i use xmms2 with conky, but i want more control over the way my mp3-files are displayed. i do not use id3 tags, but work with a uniform filename system ('artist - album - 01 - title')
the only access conky has to the filename is 'xmms2_url'. so, i figured i'd try to use ${exec} and build my own string from xmms2's own 'xmms2 info' command.

$ xmms2 info | grep url
[server] url = file:///media/storage/#mp3/adele - 21/adele - 21 - 03 - turning tables.mp3

as you can see, i really only need the information after the last slash 'adele - 21 - 03 - turning tables.mp3'. so, i figured i'd just use some kind of string operator to grab that piece of string out of there. but that is where i run into problems. how do you do this? the closest i've come is this:

$ muz info | grep url | sed -r "s/\/[^\/]*$//"
[server] url = file:///media/storage/#mp3/adele - 21

but, that only leaves out the part i need. how do i make it so i keep that part and leave out the rest? that sed stuff with the regular expressions i got from a website and modified it so it looks for a slash instead of a hyphen (which the original code did), so i only understand half of this. regular expressions are still a bit over my head after 2 months of off-and-on linux experience.

anyone a good idea on this one?

anyone a good idea on this one?

do all the lines look like that one?

[server] url = file:///media/storage/#mp3/adele - 21/adele - 21 - 03 - turning tables.mp3

this works in the terminal

echo "[server] url = file:///media/storage/#mp3/adele - 21/adele - 21 - 03 - turning tables.mp3" | awk -F'/' '{print $8}'

for a bit of explaination

awk -F'/' tells awk to split up the line whenever it matches / (it doesnt have to be / it can be anything between '' for awk to match)
then '{print $8}' simply prints the 8th bit of the bits that resulted from the line being cut up

Well that clears up a bunch.

Now a few questions:  What are the differences between mawk, gawk and awk?

man awk

I get:

GAWK(1)                             Utility Commands                             GAWK(1)

man gawk

I get:

GAWK(1)                             Utility Commands                             GAWK(1)

and of course: 

man mawk

gives me:

MAWK(1)                             USER COMMANDS                            MAWK(1)

Where does one find the man page for "awk"?
http://linux.die.net/man/1/awk gives me:

awk(1) - Linux man page
Name

gawk - pattern scanning and processing language

Synopsis

gawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
gawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

pgawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
pgawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

PGAWK ??????

################
last question - LUA.

Is there a way to have a LUA script draw the background BEHIND images in conky?

Re: Conky Help

everything you ever wanted to know about awk (it looks like)
http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html

ive only scratched the surface in its use big_smile

but i find the best way to get awk code is to search google for specific code based on what i need it to do

Thanks ... interesting ... the link says:

This file documents awk, a program that yo...

So I guess gawk is awk or vice-a-versa.  big_smile
and just as confusing as "sed" ...

I'll save that page!

Re: Conky Help

I edited the Qonky Qalender script from here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … o-in-conky
I fixed the years and moved the layout around for it and put in white space instead random chars. I need to go through and clean up the logic a bit too, there's errors in the terminal when it's run. I've been on heavy pain meds for the last week so it's about all I could to to get it this far the other night. This fits fine on the stock #! conky config of 200-240 wide. I dropped it down to 220 max so my web browser would quit overlapping at random. A wide screen LCD would be nice... Anyone else down to play with the logic before I get up to doing it?

Re: Conky Help

I just did some cosmetic editing and rejiggered some of it to get current years in it so far. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I can get the logic cleaned. The original script and logic of the conky qlocktwo were from aslamp and the qalender from mhatman2.

Perfect, I'll wait until you do you thing, no rush, but it's really a plus tho know who the originators are.
Thank you.

I see two new conkys coming to my desktop.  cool

Re: Conky Help

Having trouble with Conky under jwm.

I want the conky window to be at the right of the screen and to be 200 pixels wide. It behaves as expected under Openbox, but it spans the whole 1024x600 screen under jwm.

Did some searching here and elsewhere, but not seeing anything on this.  Does anyone have  a suggestion?

Re: Conky Help

Having trouble with Conky under jwm.

I want the conky window to be at the right of the screen and to be 200 pixels wide. It behaves as expected under Openbox, but it spans the whole 1024x600 screen under jwm.

Did some searching here and elsewhere, but not seeing anything on this.  Does anyone have  a suggestion?

Here's the conkyrc

# maximum_width 200
minimum_size 200

These two command are becoming VERY important as of late.  It seems that people really need them where before they were created the maximum width of a conky was your longest line.
Now if you don't use them strange things happen - like screen wide conkys or conkys that get info cut off.

Uncomment:

# maximum_width 200

and you'll probably find it works.
