and if you are using OpenBox (maybe with Xfce as well) you can make conky "invisible" to right click mouse actions like this:

own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_title conky-name  #each conky gets a separate name

I'm looking for people to test a specific conky.

If you are interested check: Help with a specific Conky!, and leave your results there please.

Thanks.

Chewie · 2010-12-03 04:01:07

Okay so whenever I start Conky It displays for about 3 sec's then Disappears, any clues?

---------------------------------------------

Edit: I've moved and merged the discussion from Viauri's conky support request into our main Conky help thread.

Run it from a command line and see if that gives you any errors?

Okay so last thing it shows b4 it leaves me, is that I have it configured to too many CPU's, and something to do with an email which I know I have to change the path because that is probably Unia's path as well as create some form of script for it to work? Also what's up with this port thing?

Chewie · 2010-12-03 07:05:54

Okay so I figured it out, it was that I had

ring('cpu','cpu3',100,0xB7FF00,0.2,0xB7FF00,0.8,105, 280,25,4,180,270)
    ring('cpu','cpu4',100,0x1E90FF,0.2,0x1E90FF,0.8,105, 335,25,4,270,360)

in my lua script when I only have a duo core, removing that worked and stopped it from disappearing on me! big_smile

Unia · 2010-12-03 07:51:53

You can also remove the line for the email, as you dont have the script, and remove the mpd lines

What does the email script do would it be off something I'd enjoy? And ps remove your email credentials pre-uploading the next share of your setup wink

the email script checks the servers to see if you have new emails
see my conky under MAIL

Okay so how would I obtain the email script? I'd really enjoy this! hmm

You can probably find scripts for generic POP3 checking as well.

Okay perfect as I use Gmail, now sorry for being so inquisitive, but where do I actually put my credentials?

$user="username"; #username for gmail account
$pass="password"; #password for gmail account
$file="/tmp/gmail.html"; #temporary file to store gmail

Here I take it?

And how do I set this up with my conky?

the conkyEmail script is here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869771
just install the .deb file and update the lines in your conky
something like

email@address.here $alignr ${execi 600 conkyEmail --servertype=*** --servername=*** --ssl --username=*** --password=***}

Yeah just replace the username and password inside the quotes.

I think you just have to do

${execi 600 /path/to/gmailscript}

And it will show the number of message you have.

Chewie · 2010-12-04 07:02:06

What do I save the gmail script as?
Sorry am I getting annoying? sad
If it makes you feel better I am learning as we go wink

i don't think it matters, try saving it as /home/*yourname*/bin/email and then chmod it to be executable
and call it in conky with ${execi 600 /home/*yourname*/bin/email}

Yea I noticed lol already changed my password, dont spam my email now eh? big_smile

Chewie · 2010-12-04 18:57:19

Lol no worries brother, just thought I'd inform you.

Unia · 2010-12-04 19:01:48

I thought about it right after I send it, normally I don't have any personal info in my .conkyrc.
Anyways, how're things going now with your setup?

Chewie · 2010-12-04 19:48:33

Great I'm already doing a base install of Debian that I'm going to completely tweak.
I Have a gmail script that anonymous has gave me, and linked its path to the email conky code they provided me but I don't know what extension I save the gmail script as do I just name it something with no extension then chmod it to be executable?

anonymous · 2010-12-04 19:54:41

That is correct; you don't need an extension.

Unia · 2010-12-04 20:00:36

I always use .sh, but tbh I don know why.
