Haha, nice story wink

Hi guys, this thread has really helped me to get a nice desktop running on #!.

I'm having a bit of trouble though with my conky set up cropping off the bottom of my window.

As I understand it, the height is meant to be auto, I wonder if the voffset properties in the .conkyrc have confused the script somewhat.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

putting a few empty lines at the bottom of my .conkyrc has helped me with that problem

Don't know if that's the preferred way, but it Works On My Machine tongue

Blaise · 2009-03-05 13:59:43

Well, that worked for me too. although it doesn't seem very elegant, I can live with that smile

Here's my latest endeavour:

Xenokite · 2009-03-11 01:17:49

here is my conky finally but I am still not happy with it.

i want to try the individual conky set up that they have on #!-WiKi I have everything set-up but as soon as I edit anyone of my .conky_XXX the whole system crashes.

I've actually got a question. I'm running two separate conkys (as you can see in the screen shot) and both have a lot of extra space. I'd love for the first one to actually be drawn on the bottom of the screen instead of having that chunk below it, and i'd like conky2 to hit the top. Any suggestions?

Both of your conky configs are missing the gap configuration.

Add this code above the text section (with the rest of the configuration):

Hi,

I've been playing with Conky for some time, and I cooked my configuration mostly through what has been already shown here.

In order not to clutter my EeePC desktop, I wanted to show only which network I was connected to :

No network available :

ethernet only :

wireless only :

both networks available :

Here is the relevant code :

${alignr}${color2}wan :${color}${texeci 3600 wget http://checkip.dyndns.org -O - -o /dev/null | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \< -f 1}

Hi Conky Masters,

I need your help, I switch between several keyboard layouts and i have no panel, I edited my rc.xml and switching is perfect but I never know which layout I am working on without checking with a couple of keys....
it would be ideal if I could have conky to display the current keyboard layout I am using.
I tried to post the same question in some other thread but then i realised I need a Conky Master and this seems to be the best place... big_smile

any ideas?

thanks for your help

Sounds like a challenge. Can you please give me the information which application do you use to switch between layouts? I don't use/need this myself, but would be interesting to try. big_smile

mcarni · 2009-03-26 21:18:20

great Needcoffe,

thanks for your help...

this is an extract from my rc.xml:

<keybind key="W-F12">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>false</enabled>
          <name>Russian Keyboard</name>
        </startupnotify>
        <command>setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ru</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

i mapped the key combination "super-F12" to execute setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ru, which sets my keyboard layout to russian, I have a similar one for Italian and German.
I checked man setxkbmap but I couldn-t figure out a way of getting somewhere the current layout as an output....
but I am a super noob....so maybe it was there in front of me and i couldn't see it.

Thanks
I really appreciate your help
let me know if there is anything i can do to help you... helping me... big_smile
M

ESCAPADO · 2009-03-26 21:45:24

setxkbmap -v 7 | grep layout | awk '{print $2}'

prints out the layout - de in my case

to put it in your conky use or try that string:

${exec 10 setxkbmap -v 7 | grep layout | awk '{print $2}'}

mcarni · 2009-03-27 07:37:05

fantastic,

thank you so much, I will try it tonight from home and let you know...

Note to self: study cat, grep and awk !!!

Thanks

M

mcarni · 2009-03-27 20:35:20

@escapado

1000 thanks, perfect (had to replace exec 1 with execi 1 no idea why...)

@ESCAPADO: Prints out the layout? What do you mean by this? Thanks.

anonymous · 2009-03-28 01:44:42

He doesnt mean "print" literally. Just that it gives "de" as the output after executing the command.

In other words he is saying that the cmd just executes the keyboard layout switch. Correct?
