The recovery partition that has spaces in its name is /dev/sda1. I actually tried writing /dev/sda1 everyhere, and it did not work, either.

Everything there is "{fs_x}" type objects which do not accept /dev/sda1 type paths they accept paths to mount points in user space like "/media/whateverinamedit".
I mentioned this in my last post.

"${fs_used}", "${fs_size}", and "${fs_free}" only want the path to the mount point of the drive I believe and should accept "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=raspberrypi,share=usbhdd1/" if that is the mount point and the tools conky uses to get this data actually work on samba shares.

These conky objects have been improved in what paths they work with in conky v1.10.0 but as I said before I have no idea if they work with samba shares because I don't use samba.

One thing you should try with your samba share is mounting it manually with the samba command line tools to a directory you create in a less strange place than "/run/usr" like "/media/".
I have no idea what the commands to do that are since I don't use samba.
I use NFS instead since I don't need Windows compatibility on my network drives.

Sorry, you are right. This somehow escaped me.... In any case, I basically tried all sensible possibilities that came to mind, none of them worked. Even tried to give a symlink to the directory, ans use that, but it did not work, either. I probably will just live with the fact that conky will not show this partition to me.

Thank you, I will check later if this works.

Different ways to display calendars in conky (v1.9) using ncal (cal)

The code:

Finally, I'm not so ashamed of my work and I would like to present... My still not finished but OKAY Conky!

Firstly, my main goal from the beginning was to try to put everything important to me in a single line, that way I could run apps maxed (without window decoration) and keep me informed. Many things have been added and removed multiple times...

I also tried adding videogame elements (like hearts in place of a plain battery bar), but I wasn't satisfied with the vague info they provided and, well, this was the result I achieved so far:

http://i.imgur.com/PVfww32l.png

From left to right:

Fancy icon (that changes if day or night) followed by a random game phrase using fortune >> /tmp/fortune OR DeaDBeeF output if running (also with icons if playing something or not);
Shortened battery watts value;
Battery discharge/charge time using ibam (yellow when charging, gray when discharging, blinking red when too low and green when fully charged);
CPU and RAM usage (with colors variations from yellow to red if high);
Workspace indicator with Space Invaders;
CPU and HDD temperature (actually FAKE since I'm using a VM);
Local IP, download speed and upload speed if using eth0. Signal strength is shown in the local IP place if using wlan0. Nothing displayed if not connected;
Volume bar with color and icon variant if mute;
The last line contains notifications on whether the battery is too low or fully charged. Also, if the battery is too low the Metal Gear Solid alert sound is played and- When full, the Sonic (when getting a ring) sound.

Below a fancy and lazy gif with some of the variations mentioned...

http://i.imgur.com/ckpH6LV.gif

Necessary stuff (I guess):

Apps: fortune and ibam;
Fonts (most can be found on dafont.com): BM Stamp, Pixel Invaders, PF Tempesta Five Condensed, Visitor TT2 BRK and Starbound JP Misaki;
My awesome and highly detailed bar;
Cool sounds.

TODO (or procrastinating):

Optimize the code (cuz it's messy as hell);
Use less fonts;
Draw a beautiful and high-tech bar;
Use less fonts;
Rethink the nowplaying.sh;
And lastly but not least, use less fonts.

Hi ! I'm a little late for this answer but... :8 When I was configuring a conky I realized that I had a "lua script" to display deadbeef music status Didier-T is the author of this lua script (french ubuntu forum)

example to set it in conky:

lua_load /your/path_to/.conky/conky21/db/DBC.lua

${voffset 3}${color4}${lua DBMaj}${if_match "${lua Titre}"!="N/A"}${color f2d873}${font }${lua Titre} ${color White}${lua Artiste} ${lua Annee} ${color OrangeRed2}${font }${lua Ecoule}${offset 2}/${offset 2}${lua Duree} ${else}Top cpu 1 :${top name 1} ${top cpu 1}%  ${top pid 1}${color } ${goto 330}${color9}Top ram 1 :${top_mem name 1} ${top_mem mem 1}%  ${top_mem pid 1}${color }${endif}

@ragamatrix
Many thankz, dude! Recently I found a script on the internet by accident that seemed to solve my "problem".

(Link: https://github.com/Cloudef/dotFiles/blo … /db.conky)

But in the end this script was doing the same thing (calling DeaDBeeF multiple times per second ).

I'm going to study this one!
