Its going wrong here:

own_window_class Conky

own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
#own_window_argb_visual yes
#own_window_argb_value 100

This is working for me:

I also had to edit the heights (all to 560):

Also, how can i position conky - i want it a bit lower wink

Hehe ofcourse :-D but maybe if someone with Ubuntu comes here, he won't have the same problems lol
Thanks again for making this work!

TeoBigusGeekus · 2012-05-22 11:12:13

To only make the temp bold, search your conkyrc and find the execpi sed -n commands.
These commands read lines from the output files: find the lines that represent the temps (see the pdf for a guide) and change them from

execpi sed -n XXp $HOME/script_place/output_file

to

${font Whatever:bold:size=Whatever}${execpi sed -n XXp $HOME/script_place/output_file}${font}

mainstream · 2012-05-22 11:44:56

Ok thanks!
I also fixed the cpu temp. It's not working in the previous versions

${goto 55}CPU1: ${color1}${cpu cpu1}% ${alignr 25}${font Ubuntu:bold:size=9}${color1}${execi 10 sensors |grep temp1|cut -c 15-19}°C${color}${font}
${goto 55}CPU2: ${color1}${cpu cpu2}% ${alignr 25}${font Ubuntu:bold:size=9}${color1}${execi 10 sensors |grep temp3|cut -c 15-19}°C${color}${font}

Above TEXT you see:

gap_y 200 # up-down

Lower the gap_y value to 150 maybe?

LOOKS GOOD!!!!!

BTW, All your fonts are bold.

Hehe thanks, i'm currently working on a version where only the output variables are bold - i like that more and it's easier for reading.

Easy enough:

Above TEXT change:

xftfont Ubuntu:bold:size=8

to

xftfont Ubuntu:size=8

and below TEXT where you want bold (example):

${goto 55}Kernel: ${color1}${alignr 25}${font Ubuntu:bold:size=8}${kernel}${font}

A most interesting thing I'd like to share with you guys:
I use the 1a modified script and decided (just for the sake of it) to rewrite it in C.
I did so and compared the times the C version consumes vs the bash version.
The results were extremely interesting:

The real times were almost the same (the C version uses libcurl, whereas the script uses wget) with a slight better performance by the C version, but look at the user and sys times (the times showing how much time the cpu was occupied with the process): the C version kicks the butt out of the bash one...
I expected it of course, but, still, in some cases, the time consumed by the bash version was 20 times more than the one of the C version.

Just replace the accuweather address at the beginning of the source code with yours and replace the /home/teo/accuweather_conky_modified string with wherever you want your data to be saved.
Compile with

gcc accuw.c -o accuw -lcurl

and you're done.

Anyway, thought I'd like to share...

Hmmm...
Perhaps the 4rth one, which is huge. I don't know. I was really surprised at the stats myself.

Have you downloaded the source code from pastebin?
Copy it in a text editor, save it as accuw.c, navigate there and then give the gcc command.

EDIT: libcurl is installed with curl.

Yes, saved as: accuw.txt - accuw and accuw.c

Yea, I have curl, libcirl - it was a shot in the dark. When "accuw" didn't work I looked that the "gcc" line saw the accuw.c there and renamed the file. Same result. I'm jinxed!

Try installing libcurl-dev or devel.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2012-05-23 22:51:28

I hope you've changed the accuweather address and the file paths in the source code.
Other than that, you use it just like the bash script, but instead of running it with

bash /path/accuw_script

you run it with

/path/accuw

If you execute it inside a conkyrc, the call would be something like

${execi 600 /home/teo/accuweather_conky_modified/accuw}
