Yeah I guess a fuller set of "wings" would cause too much drag..

Hey buddy ... did you know if you click on the "date" of a post you get a direct like to that post?

so go to: Post 517

Since you such a great guy for sharing your work, I though I'd share that tid-bit. big_smile

VastOne · 2012-08-11 20:59:31

^ Yes, but then they could not read the other 516 great posts! ... wink That is what I thought when I went to the very first post anyway...

Ahhhhhhhh but fallup - standdown linked to the page that 517 was on ... now had he linked to page 1 that would be a different story.

"Ok folks, start here, the fist hint on how to build this is in post #2 the last in post #517 and there's 36 things you need to know."

NOW you'll see some reading!! big_smile

XFCE4 (xfwm4) + conky + transparency with images.

OK, applying NoTryDo's "feh" find from the Xfce Forums it's very easy to get transparent conkys with "xfwm4" using images that are not washed out.

I can hear it now - but I have a transparent conky with XFCE4. Are you using the ${image} command, conkys 'Imlib2' feature?

The composite manager must be on - and any options you want - careful: conky is an "inactive window"

Needed above TEXT:

own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes

Do NOT use:

#own_window_argb_visual
#own_window_argb_value

Below Text:

TEXT
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
start conky stuff here

If you want to use "draw-bk.lua" feel free:

lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
TEXT
${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}\
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
start conky stuff here

And there you have it, you can run as many conkys as you want, no flickering, no blinking, no washed out images, and you can use other LUA scripts as well like v9000. Also works like a charm with the TeoBigusGeekus weather scripts. Nice crisk, clear images.

5 conkys under XFCE4 using the method above:

Left to right:

First: using draw-bk set to 0.4

lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
TEXT
${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}\
${image ~/Conky/images/DarthVader.png -p 20,120 -s 128x128}\
${alignc}${cpubar cpu0 0,20} Sector11 ${cpubar cpu0 0,20}

Next: no draw-bk

TEXT
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
${image ~/Conky/images/Stealth_Trooper.png -p 20,120 -s 128x128}\
${alignc}${cpubar cpu0 0,20} Sector11 ${cpubar cpu0 0,20}

Third: another with draw-bk.lua

lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
TEXT
${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}\
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
${image ~/Conky/images/Mini_128.png -p 20,120 -s 128x128}\
${alignc}${cpubar cpu0 0,20} Sector11 ${cpubar cpu0 0,20}

Forth: using a semi-transparent image background

TEXT
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
${image ~/Conky/images/bk_40.png -p 0,0 -s 160x315}\
${image ~/Conky/images/stock_home.png -p 40,165 -s 100x100}\
${alignc}${cpubar cpu0 0,20} Sector11 ${cpubar cpu0 0,20}

That last one - draw-bk.lua, various images and the v9000.lus weather.

lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
TEXT
${exec feh --bg-center `xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path`}\
${lua conky_draw_bg 25 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}${goto 80}

And last but not least, Andy, who is keeping an eye on everything!

@ Sector11 - are you cataloging all your findings in one location? conky pistop perhaps?
or maybe start a whole new thread for "transparency in conky"

dk75 has:
ARGB Visual = COMPIZ, and
Conky Compiz startup

I have: Transparency in conky = compton & xcompmgr in OpenBox

Older accuracy unknown, I'll have to ask about them:

Compiz shadow problem

Conky KDE Transparency - it uses a 'feh' line as well.

The post above will definitely go up - later tonight or tomorrow. I'm thinking tonight.

HA!!!! You edited your post as I did this. You know a new thread dedicated to Conky Transparency might be a good thing. There are a lot of different "composite managers" out there, on different distros. Might just work, because it's becoming apparent that they work different.

Lets sleep on it.

That sounds like a good idea.
It seems that a question about conky transparency comes up every week or two.

Im trying to get my cpu temp but I think Im doing something wrong.

Sensors command gives me this

luke@crunchbang:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +54.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:       +55.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +70.0°C

${hwmon 0 temp 1}°F

Is my hard drive temp

${hwmon 2 temp 1}°F

Is my GPU temp

So Shouldnt

${hwmon 1 core 0}°F

be my CPU temp?

Obviously its not cuz Im getting this

Conky: '/home/luke/conky/conkyrc_info' modified, reloading...
Conky: can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/core0_input': No such file or directory
please check your device or remove this var from Conky
Conky: desktop window (159) is root window
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1400001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

Nevermind......... I did my homework and looked in /sys/class/hwmon/ and figured it out

Secondary question:

I got my temps in Fahrenheit but the lua bar max's out and shows my cpu temp as in the lava range.......... Im using Mr. Peachys all combined lua

TEMP ${hwmon 1 temp 2}°F${lua gradbar {90,127,"${hwmon 1 temp 2}",100,50,2,10,1,0xFFFFFF,0.25,0x00FF00,1,0xFFFF00,1,0xFF0000,1}}

So im looking through here and wondering is there a way to add your top..lets say 5 processes that are using CPU and how much CPU their using?

Top CPU

${top name 1} ${top cpu 1}
${top name 2} ${top cpu 2} 
${top name 3} ${top cpu 3} 
${top name 4} ${top cpu 4}

Top Memory

${top mem 1} ${top pid 1}
${top mem 2} ${top pid 2}
${top mem 3} ${top pid 3}
${top mem 4} ${top pid 4}

Thats what worked for me

Ah ok, Very cool. Thank you.
One small thing. Does it matter what "section" I put this under? or just anywhere in there?

You beat me to it mrpeachy. Mind you I couldn't sleep until 5 this morning and then when I did I slept until 11. big_smile

Plus I was going to suggest that lwfitz look at using 'platform' - nice little gem picked up from VastOne. It was mentioned that at times 'hwmon' changes what's what as things boot up. but 'platform' is a constant. Never happened to me, I though, until one day - no temps. Got my answer by doing a search here: (vastone+platform) Thanks again VastOne

Also, lwfitz, your terminal is showing temps in C not F:

Core 0:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:       +54.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:       +55.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

so if you have them converted using 'temperature_unit' above TEXT those values need to be changed for the LUA script:

84°C = 183.2°F and 100°C = 212°F

54°C = 129.2°F <<<--- this is important for what you need.

See the lines like this (in quotes to get colour):

${lua gradbar {90,127,"${hwmon 1 temp 2}",100,50,2,10,1,0xFFFFFF,0.25,0x00FF00,1,0xFFFF00,1,0xFF0000,1}}

You've already passed the max value for the line - that 100 is the top limit. Pump that up to about 190, between 'high' & 'critical' it should look a bit more reasonable.

mrpeachy please correct me if I'm wrong here ... I use °C and have mine set at 85(°C)

And after changing the 100 to

${font StyleBats:size=10}${color1}k${voffset -1}${font}${color2} TEMP ${hwmon 1 temp 2}°F${lua gradbar {95,40,"${hwmon 1 temp 2}",200,50,2,10,1,0xFFFFFF,0.25,0x00FF00,1,0xFFFF00,1,0xFF0000,1}}

It now looks like

Do I need to convert the other numbers next to the 100 as well? Thanks for the help guys Im headed to a job but when I get back Ill look into platform

mrpeachy · 2012-08-12 17:30:09

@Sector11 - correct indeed
the 4th entry

{95,40,"${hwmon 1 temp 2}",200

is the maximum value

here are what all the numbers mean in order:

x position top left
y position top left
conky value to display, eg "${cpu cu0}" or "${memperc}" conky object must be in quotes
max value of conky object set above
number of divisions
width of divisions
height of divisions
gap between divisions
background color
background alpha
start color
start alpha
middle color
middle alpha
end color
end alpha

so adjusting those other numbers affect the look of the bars

Put a mare on the wall: LUA - Sector11 was correct! Made my day.

The platform thing isn't so hard.

... and as VastOne explained, acpitz-virtual-0, k10temp-pci-00c3 and f71862fg-isa-0a00 are the keys.

So on yours:

luke@crunchbang:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +54.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +70.0°C

The keys are: acpitz-virtual-0, coretemp-isa-0000 and radeon-pci-0100

On mine under: /sys/devices/platform
I see:

/sys/devices/platform/alarmtimer
/sys/devices/platform/f71882fg.2560  <<-- there I am.
/sys/devices/platform/Fixed MDIO bus.0

/sys/devices/platform/microcode
/sys/devices/platform/pcspkr
/sys/devices/platform/power
/sys/devices/platform/reg-dummy
/sys/devices/platform/serial8250

here's hoping you have:

/sys/devices/platform/coretemp-isa-0000

=======================================
Looks like you have an Intel quad core.
Can you run a simple test conky for me:

TEXT
 Core 0: ${cpu cpu1}
 Core 1: ${cpu cpu2}
 Core 2: ${cpu cpu3}
 Core 3: ${cpu cpu4}
${hr 1}
Average: ${cpu cpu0}

Run it long enough to find out if ${cpu cpu0} reports an average or is a clone of cpu1 as one person insists " CPU0 is NOT an average of all of them. That's been disproved repeatedly by those who have multiple cores." I can not find one instance of "disproved" let alone "disproved repeatedly".

Mine - AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 450 Processor

And with the above eliminating the "Core 3: ${cpu cpu4}" ${cpu cpu0} gives me an average - have to let it run a but to see.
