@Sector11: Loved your chronographs as always, so did slipshot's.
and Sir Peachy, you really are a wizard!
Meanwhile, I managed one as well...still waiting for conky to have a wordwrap..

Where did you get that background from?

falldown · 2012-08-22 19:22:12

I can't believe how lost I am on this, but I am wanting to add some video driver info to my project.
I have tried a few methods from the web.. with no luck.

I have a NVidia card with the proprietary driver.
I just want to add..
Card name:
gpucore frequency:
gpucore usage:
gpucore temperature:

This is what I get for never adding this info before. lol

arclance · 2012-08-22 19:29:12

^ Here is how I get that data, along with some other things you might want.
You can't get usage for most cards in linux though.

local gpu_freq = conky_parse("${nvidia gpufreq}")
local gpu_mem_freq = conky_parse("${nvidia memfreq}")
local sensors = io.popen("nvidia-smi -a")
local sensorData = sensors:read("*a")
sensors:close()
sensors = nil
sensorData = sensorData:gsub(",",""):gsub("\n",'","')
sensorData = assert(loadstring('return {"'..sensorData..'"}'))
sensorData = sensorData()
local gpu_model = (sensorData[9]:sub(35,52)):gsub("GeForce ","")
local gpu_mem_used = sensorData[42]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
local gpu_mem_total = sensorData[41]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
local gpu_mem_percent = string.format("%.2f", (tonumber(gpu_mem_used)/tonumber(gpu_mem_total))*100)
local gpu_temp = sensorData[83]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","°")
local gpuFan_speed = sensorData[37]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","")

you can only get the card name from nvidia-smi.
Install it with

sudo apt-get install nvidia-smi

What version of the nividia driver are you using?
If it is the one in stable or testing I need to change that a little bit because the format of "nvidia-smi -a" is different.

Easy:

nvidia
threshold
Nvidia graficcard support for the XNVCtrl library. Each option can be shortened to the least significant part. Temperatures are printed as float, all other values as integer.
threshold - The thresholdtemperature at which the gpu slows down
temp - Gives the gpu current temperature
ambient - Gives current air temperature near GPU case
gpufreq - Gives the current gpu frequency
memfreq - Gives the current mem frequency
imagequality - Which imagequality should be chosen by OpenGL applications

${nvidia temp}° ${nvidia gpufreq}MHz ${nvidia memFreq}MHz

usage is a no go sad

arclance · 2012-08-22 19:33:46

^ Yes usage is only supported for really high end cards through nvidia-smi.

Supported products: 

    Tesla:  S1070, S2050, C1060, C2050/70/75, M2050/70/75/90, X2070/90, Gemini
    Quadro: 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, M2070-Q, 600, 2000, 3000M and 410
    Other:  All other products are unsupported

I missed that part of falldowns post.

You can get some useful info out of nvidia-smi with most cards, just not very much.

card model
gpu temp
gpu fan speed
gpu memory total
gpu memory used
gpu memory free

I can calculate the percent memory used from that.

The only other thing I want to know is usage but it does not work.

This is what "nvidia-smi -a" outputs for me.

^ Do you have "libxnvctrl0" installed, the ${nvidia} option depends on it.
It worked with my 8600 GT before I switched it out for a different card I had that did not run as hot.

I just get it from nvidia-smi since I want the other data it has as well.

Nvidia ${execi 30 nvclock -i | grep 'Card:' | cut -c16-29}${alignr} Temp: ${execi 30 nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp |grep '):' | awk '{print $4}'}C

Terminal:

Attribute 'GPUCoreTemp' (sector11:0.0): 43.
'GPUCoreTemp' is an integer attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' is a read-only attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

Then read it it in style cuz it's HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From an old conky: 2007

Hope some of this helps.

@arclance: Many thanks for the script but pardon my ignorance, I don't know how to call that script in conky. sad
I use

${rss http://news.google.com/?output=rss 3 item_titles 7 }

to fetch rss feeds in my conky.
and for the wallpaper, I had just googled for ring of power and found it here and then added some glow and applied lomo effect... smile

And thanks for suggesting fold option! smile I tried

but I receive

arclance · 2012-08-22 21:04:11

^ I like your version of that background better could you post a link to it.

I can make a script that handles that for you give me a few minutes to write it.

You can't use fold like that because conky does not send the result of

${rss http://news.google.com/?output=rss 3 item_titles 7 }

to bash so you are actually running.

${rss http://news.google.com/?output=rss 3 item_titles 7 } | fold -w50

with bash (the same as in a terminal).
You get that error because you have special characters and lots of spaces in that line.

arclance · 2012-08-22 21:29:36

Okay here is a function you can call from .conkyrc to wordwrap rss data.

--# wordwrap by arclance | 2012-08-22
--# wraps a line "longLine" to the charachter length defined by "wrapLength"
--# returns a list containg each wraped line in order
function wordwrap(longLine, wrapLength)
    local wrapedLines = {}
    local lineStart = 1
    local lineEnd = 1
    if #longLine <= wrapLength then --# return list containing input line if it is shorter than the wrap length
        return {longLine}
    end --# if #longLine <= wrapLength then
    for i = 1, math.ceil(#longLine/wrapLength) do
        if i ~= 1 then
            lineStart = lineStart + wrapLength
            if lineStart >= #longLine then
                break --# no more to wrap break out of loop
            end --# if lineStart >= #longLine then
        end --# if i ~= 1 then
        lineEnd = lineEnd + wrapLength
        if lineEnd >= #longLine then --# 
            wrapedLines[i] = longLine:sub(lineStart,#longLine)
            break --# done wrapping break out of loop
        else 
            wrapedLines[i] = longLine:sub(lineStart,lineEnd)
        end --# if lineEnd >= #longLine then
    end --# for i = 1, (math.mod(#longLine/wrapLength) + 1)
    return wrapedLines
end --# function wordwrap(longLine, wrapLength)

function conky_rss_wrap(uri, interval_in_minutes, action, wrapLength, num_par, spaces_in_front) --# num_par and spaces_in_front are optional
    local rssCommand = "${rss "..uri.." "..interval_in_minutes
    if num_par ~= nil then
        rssCommand = rssCommand.." "..num_par
    end --# if num_par ~= nil then
    if spaces_in_front ~= nil then
        rssCommand = rssCommand.." "..spaces_in_front
    end --# if spaces_in_front ~= nil then
    local rssText = conky_parse((rssCommand.."}"))
    local wrapedText = wordwrap(rssText, tonumber(wrapLength))
    local output = ""
    for i = 1, #wrapedText do
        if i ~= 1 then
            output = output.."/n"..wrapedText[i].."\n"
        else
            output = wrapedText[i]
        end --# if i ~= 1 then
    end --# for i = 1, #wrapedText do
    return output
end --# function rss_wrap()

I don't have ${rss} compiled in my conky so I could not test if my call to that works.

Here is how to use the script.
1. Save the lua code in a text file named "wraprss.lua"
2. Add this line to your .conky rcc above the TEXT line.

lua_load <path to>/wraprss.lua

replacing <path to> with the path to the wraprss.lua file you saved earlier.
3. Add this line to your text section where you want the rss output.

${lua_parse rss_wrap http://news.google.com/?output=rss 3 item_titles 50 7}

I might not have the lua_parse line right (since I can't test it here) let me know if it give you any problems)
