Looks great Ekaradon, I think Sector11's howto will work for you --> click here <--

PackRat · 2013-01-20 17:18:56

thanks jed.

@Ekardon - post your conkyrc; my first guess is that the:

own_window_type <type>
own_window_hints <hints>

part of your configuration needs some adjusting.

Thanks to both of you, I found the solution with this property:

sticky - means the conky is on every desktop.

You will find my version of Conky which is largely based on Georgy Stoyanov work.

I haven't learned Lua and I'm not familiar with either Conky or your V9000, but it seems that this value:

bg_height=(wb.bgh or conky_window.heigth)

is null. So You could try to set it manually or search why it's not setted unlike bg_width apparently.

Sector11 · 2013-01-21 17:06:28

Sorry - this was solved.

I'd be remiss if I didn't give everyone the full story or at least a fairly good running break down of what this is and how it came about.

We can all thank GrouchyGaijin for this!

I love it when someone says "Nope, not possible" and the answer is "Oh yea, watch this!" type of thing.

This started when GrouchyGaijin asked stinkeye this question regarding the "start stop conky" script (ssc.sh)

GrouchyGaijin wrote:

Cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I have a question though, does the toggle script allow you to kill the conkies one at a time or is it all or nothing?

stinkeye responded:

stinkeye wrote:

Scripts been around a while. Not my idea.
All or nuttin'. Go hard or go home.

A little while later GrouchyGaijin came back with:

GrouchyGaijin wrote:

For what it is worth, I wrote a script that will find the PID of a particular conky, then kill it.
I'm sure this could be done more efficiently. But this works on my system.
#!/bin/bash
##This is something like the 5th script I've ever written ##                      
var1=$(ps xu | grep calendar-conky | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }')
echo "$var1"
kill $var1
Change calendar-conky to the name of your conkyrc file.
Then, make a launcher, put it in a quick list or whatever.

arclance piped up:

arclance wrote:

Why not use?
pkill -f "conky.*-c.*calendar-conky"
That will kill conky process running with the "calendar-conky" .conkyrc.
It should also not kill certain text editors if you have your .conkyrc open in them.

Can you see where this is going?

After a discussion between arclance and stinkeye, about it not working with a conky in a terminal stinkeye has a version that will work with his demo conky in a terminal:

stinkeye wrote:

Could't find a solution so I added a sed command to change
background yes
to
background no
in any pasted in configs.

#!/bin/bash
## click to start, click to stop

if pgrep -f "conky -c /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc"
then
	pkill -xf "conky -c /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc" 
else
	[b]sed -i 's/background yes/background no/g' /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc &[/b]
	gnome-terminal -e "conky -c /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc"
fi

From GrouchyGaijin's "oh yea, watch this post!" I started playing ... incorporating things as it happened.

All my conkys start with "conky -c /path/to/the/conkyrc", I don't run conkys in a terminal, start them yes, run them no!

I played with this a lot yesterday getting "ERROR" here an "Oops!" there, but not before one tweak restarted my entire session.
Now that was an Oops!

The second last line is the fix it was:

	"conky -c $1"

Here's the 'first' working version, - "SUPER" script
that requires two clicks, or twice in a terminal:

ggsia <<-- the bash script for GrouchyGaijin, Stinkeye and arclance

#!/bin/bash
## Original idea by: GrouchyGaijin
## This idea by: Stinkeye - Jan 2013

## click to start, click to re-start

if pgrep -f "conky -c $1"
then
	pkill -xf "conky -c $1"
else
	conky -c "$1"
fi

Stopped it and started it like it was meant to do!
but it took one to kill it, one to start it

Thank you GrouchyGaijin, stinkeye & arclance

I didn't stop there ... I have another version of ssc.sh that uses "exit" .... hmmmmmmmmm!!!

So here it is, the new improved ggsia that is even better, this is for "conky addicts", because sometimes just "saving a conky" isn't enough, you need to kill it and restart it!

If you are developing a conky and
[o]have not started it yet, this will start it.
[o]if it is already running, this script will kill it and restart it 2 seconds later

ggsia - Super script #2

## Original idea by: GrouchyGaijin

	then
	pkill -xf "conky -c $1"
	(sleep 2s && conky -c "$1") &
	exit
else
	conky -c "$1"
	exit
fi

Nice stuff guys!

stinkeye points out a weakness of the above with a question:

HA!!!! jedi has compition!
Along comes: CapMan

stinkeye wrote:

Hi Sector11,
just a bit confused as to what the $1 variable is
and how to use the script.
Do I just add the path to a conkyrc as a variable to the script?
It may appear I know what I'm doing but I'm essentially a copy and paste man.
CapMan

$1 for a bash script is a command line variable.

stinki

#!/bin/bash
echo $1 $2

 sector11 @ sector11
 21 Jan 13 | 11:52:44 ~
         $ stinki something

         $ stinki Hi stinkeye
Hi stinkeye
 sector11 @ sector11
 21 Jan 13 | 11:54:16 ~
         $

To continue:
Yea, me too, I gotta use that line, CapMan sounds like a superhero!
Maybe change it to C&PDude so as not to interfere with any © you may have.

The top of 90% of my conkys have something like this:

# killall conky && conky -c /media/5/Conky//S11_all-text.conky &

I copy that line - less the hash - to kill all conkys and restart the one I'm working on. BUT it does what you said a while back:

stinkeye wrote:

All or nuttin'. Go hard or go home.

So now at the top of my conkys I'll do:

# ggsia /media/5/Conky//S11_all-text.conky

then I'll pull a CapMan in the terminal

 sector11 @ sector11
 21 Jan 13 | 11:25:16 ~
         $ ggsia /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc

Like I said earlier in this post,
[o] if the conky is not running that script will start it,
[o] if it is running, it will kill it, wait 2 seconds and restart it.

Perfect for editing!

Now to do a search and replace on "all files" in my conky directories:
Search: "# killall conky && conky -c"
Replace: "# ggsia"

Hmmmm, that will take a while, I'll probably have to watch a movie.

it's possible to define the width and the height. but i can not define the horizontal and the vertical position it seems that the script uses the standard-values. can u please help me?

i call the function like this:

draw_bg({bgcl=0xff0000,bgw=200,bgh=100})

this is the complete script:

require 'cairo'
function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)
    return ((colour / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((colour / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (colour % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end
 
--function conky_draw_bg()
function draw_bg(wb)

bg_width=(tonumber(wb.bgw) or tonumber(conky_window.width))
bg_height=(tonumber(wb.bgh) or tonumber(conky_window.height))
bg_posx=(wb.bgx or 0)
bg_posy=(wb.bgy or 0)
bg_colour=(wb.bgcl or 0x000000)
bg_corner=(wb.bgcr or 20)
bg_alpha=(wb.bga or 0.5)

    if conky_window==nil then return end

--    local bg_width=conky_window.width
--    local bg_height=conky_window.height


    local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, bg_width, bg_height)
    cr=cairo_create(cs)
 
    cairo_move_to(cr,bg_corner,0)
    cairo_line_to(cr,bg_width-bg_corner,0)
    cairo_curve_to(cr,bg_width,0,bg_width,0,bg_width,bg_corner)
    cairo_line_to(cr,bg_width,bg_height-bg_corner)
    cairo_curve_to(cr,bg_width,bg_height,bg_width,bg_height,bg_width-bg_corner,bg_height)
    cairo_line_to(cr,bg_corner,bg_height)
    cairo_curve_to(cr,0,bg_height,0,bg_height,0,bg_height-bg_corner)
    cairo_line_to(cr,0,bg_corner)
    cairo_curve_to(cr,0,0,0,0,bg_corner,0)
    cairo_close_path(cr)
 
    cairo_set_source_rgba(cr,rgb_to_r_g_b(bg_colour,bg_alpha))
    cairo_fill(cr)
end

when i call the function within the template (lua) the script draws the background above the text. do u have an idea why this happens?

Sector11 · 2013-01-21 18:34:28

@ lionhead:

You are using:

draw_bg({bgcl=0xff0000,bgw=200,bgh=100})

add the x & y positions:

bg_posx=(wb.bgx or 0)
bg_posy=(wb.bgy or 0)

like this:

draw_bg({bgcl=0xff0000,bgx=10,bgy=25,bgw=200,bgh=100})

Also call this function BEFORE you call any text function to get it behind the text.

this should work but it still uses the default-values?! this is not logical, or? this would say spock

draw_bg({bgcl=0x000000,bgx=100,bgw=100,bgh=100,bga=0.5})

although i even call this function after the text it still covers the text

observingly · 2013-01-21 20:17:45

I am in search on one of this (look at the subject above), which I can configure easily on my desktop. I have stumble upon some links available here in the forums and I ended up not finishing what I have started since I got confused and lost in the way of following some steps which a noob often do, like me I should say.

Okay, this might sound or this really sound like I am on an SOS. Will someone give me a hand regarding this post? Thanks.

This was the one I found easiest to get going: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. … 67#p212567

(I'm not saying it was 'easy' just that it was the easiest!) If you follow the instructions through it's fairly straightforward to get going, if you subsequently want to tidy up the installation then there's a bit of tweaking to do. I am using 1a.

Have a go following the instructions in the readme and let us know where you get stuck.

No call this BEFORE the text function so it gets drawn first.

Where did this script come from? Why not try using the draw-bg.lua that londonali101, mrpeachy and dk75 worked on?

These functions are built in and work.

Above and After TEXT  (requires a composite manager or it blinks!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 TEXT
 ${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}

OR Both above TEXT (no composite manager required - no blinking!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.5
 TEXT

Note
${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}
  See below:        1  2 3 4 5 6        7

${lua conky_draw_bg corner_radius x_position y_position width height color alpha}

covers the whole window and will change if you change the minimum_size setting

1 = 20             corner_radius
2 = 0             x_position
3 = 0             y_position
3 = 0             width
5 = 0             height
6 = 0x000000      color
7 = 0.4           alpha

Statler or Waldorf? If Waldorf, it seems weather-util (it's in the Debian repos) has been fixed to work with the new NOAA website format; a simple execi command in your Conky can give you a very basic weather report and forecast.

lionhead · 2013-01-21 20:59:54

do u mean the allcombined lua-script? i try this in the morning. but i wanna work with v9000.

do u mean the allcombined lua-script? i try this in the morning. but i wanna work with v9000.

No I meant draw-bg.lua. But if you are writing your own function into what you call "v9000" then I can not help you as I know nothing about LUA, only how to follow instructions to use them.

You should rename your "v9000" to something else because "v9000" is really mrpeachy's weather script.

lh9000 would be good, or D9000 (for Deutsch9000) just a thought.

@ lionhead and Sector11
No one should be using that version (v1.0) of the "draw_bg.lua" lua script, it leaks memory.

weather-util not required, there is a "weather" command built into conky that requires no execi command at all:

code deleted .... it seems that the conky stops running after 10 minutes or so.

Will check out this weather-util and see what happens.

In the version posted by lionhead (the original v1.0) at the end right after "cairo_fill(cr)" because it is missing

cairo_destroy(cr)
cairo_surface_destroy(cs)

which clears the memory allocated by cairo.

This is the memory leak fix that was added by someone several years ago.
I can't find any clean version of it here so I can't say who did it.

Well, in that case I agree with you, londonali1010's original did leak, I thought lionhead had done that code himself as part of his v9000 script. My error for not reading closer, sorry for the mix-up.

I have never used that version but have used the version edited by mrpeachy and dk75 for quite some time - and have included it in many of my posts with conky & lua code.

Here it is again - it has a LUA calendar as well, compliments of mrpeachy, and the two lines to 'plug the leak' you mentioned above and the end of the script:

draw-bg.lua

--[[Background originally by londonali1010 (2009)
    ability to set any size for background mrpeachy 2011
    ability to set variables for bg in conkyrc dk75

  the change is that if you set width and/or height to 0
  then it assumes the width and/or height of the conky window

so:

Above and After TEXT  (requires a composite manager or it blinks!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 TEXT
 ${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}

OR Both above TEXT (no composite manager required - no blinking!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.5
 TEXT

Note
${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}
  See below:        1  2 3 4 5 6        7

${lua conky_draw_bg corner_radius x_position y_position width height color alpha}

covers the whole window and will change if you change the minimum_size setting

1 = 20             corner_radius
2 = 0             x_position
3 = 0             y_position
3 = 0             width
5 = 0             height
6 = 0x000000      color
7 = 0.4           alpha

Now when you use a "script" to get the weather, you tell the script what unit you want °C or °F
Teo's weather
prpeachy's v9000 lua script

We're here to help.
