Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

@ackernan:  Thank you for your reply.  I must say, that seems like an awful lot of code for a simple background command in conky.

In other news,  "own_window_color" magically worked when I tried a few minutes ago.  I cannot find anything different from what I tried last night.  Guess that's what happens when I tweak things when I should be asleep.

@ackernan:  Thank you for your reply.  I must say, that seems like an awful lot of code for a simple background command in conky.

It's lua script that a lot of people use to make a background.  Add something like this to your conky.  It's explained more in the script file.

lua_load ~/.conky/draw_bg.lua
TEXT
${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.5}

Maybe Sector11 or someone else will pipe in with another solution for you.

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

How do you create a background color for conky? 

I've looked numerous places on and off the forums and the best I could find was this #! post

However, "own_window_color" does not work.

Ideas?

try  " own_window_colour  "   i.e. with the proper british english spelling with a 'u', 

also consider that the colour code itself takes either a hex value (e.g. ffffff, without  '#') or a valid RGB name (see /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt)

Just suggestions, try them and see!

Rather than have a whole bunch of background LUA scripts for different sized conkys why not use the "ultimate background LUA" - one script - the configuration for each use is done within the actual conky file:

In the draw-bg.lua - a simple HowTo at the beginning of the script explains it's use:

--[[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}

with 2,3,4 & 5 at 0, the whole window will be covered

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

]]

require 'cairo'
local    cs, cr = nil
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(r,x,y,w,h,color,alpha)

local xbl=(x+r)
local ybl=(y+r)+((h)-(2*r))
-----------------------------
cairo_move_to (cr,xtl,ytl-r)
cairo_line_to (cr,xtr,ytr-r)
cairo_arc(cr,xtr,ytr,r,((2*math.pi/4)*3),((2*math.pi/4)*4))
cairo_line_to (cr,xbr+r,ybr)
cairo_arc(cr,xbr,ybr,r,((2*math.pi/4)*4),((2*math.pi/4)*1))
cairo_line_to (cr,xbl,ybl+r)
cairo_arc(cr,xbl,ybl,r,((2*math.pi/4)*1),((2*math.pi/4)*2))

cairo_close_path(cr)
cairo_fill (cr)
------------------------------------------------------------
cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
cairo_destroy(cr)
return ""
end

An example in the conky file:

lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4

TEXT
conky stuff here

Or some working examples with a '_pre' and '_post' above TEXT for the last one with two colours and alpha values.  If you use a composite manager you can have as many 'below' TEXT as you wish.  Above text you can only use two.

try in terminal

nvidia-smi -q d UTILIZATION

if it returns more than "N/A" for GPU then it is possible, if not then FUBAR

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

Yes.
And for before, I've made a typo, it should be

nvidia-smi -q -d UTILIZATION

a typo was no hyphen before "d"

But it shows no data anyway so...

There are code for memory - if you want to format output then see "END{}" part:

${execpi 5 nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY |mawk -F: 'tolower($0) ~ /total/ {totalM = sprintf("%s", $2)} tolower($0) ~ /used/ {usedM = sprintf("%s", $2)} tolower($0) ~ /free/ {freeM = sprintf("%s", $2)} END{print "${goto 20}Total:"totalM"${goto 120}Used:"usedM"${goto 220}Free:"freeM}'}

Indeed I have posted it here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/238446/#p238446
Nice that you notice it, Tunafish.

It is really a very nice way to explore all kind of beautiful conky scripts.
It is directly usable in Debian; you only have to install conky-lua in a different way than in Arch:

sudo apt-get install conky-all

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

@ lwfitz & dk75
I can get fan speed, gpu temp, memory used, and max memory using

nvidia-smi -a

You can also get the amount of free memory, if I remember correctly, but I can't check that here.
I would post some sample lua code but I lost power Friday night and still don't have it back yet.
I can't get at my lua script to copy it since it is on my desktop computers.

Edit:
Actually I backed-up  the script to my dropbox before I lost power so here is the lua I use to get that information

        sensors = io.popen("nvidia-smi -a")
        sensorData = sensors:read("*a")
        sensors:close()
        sensorData = sensorData:gsub(",",""):gsub("\n",'","')
        assert(loadstring('sensorData = {"'..sensorData..'"}'))()
        gpu_mem_used = sensorData[42]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
        gpu_mem_total = sensorData[41]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
        gpu_mem_percent = string.format("%.2f", (tonumber(gpu_mem_used)/tonumber(gpu_mem_total))*100)
        gpu_temp = sensorData[79]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","°")
        gpuFan_speed = sensorData[38]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","")

@ elvaqueroloco
You can also use semi-transparent images, like ARGB .png files, to shade the background.
Edit:
You can use a 1x1 pixel .png and resize it to fit your conky with ${image} or by using imlib2 in a lua script.

I would go into more detail but I don't have any linux computers I can use here.
mrpeachy has a lua image drawing function that I use if you are interested in that.

@ mrpeachy
I lost power before I could do much with changing variables to be local in my lua script.
I did get far enough to be annoyed by if statements counting as loops when making variables local.

While I wait for my power to come back on could you tell me if this will make a local cpu_table1 in the conky_main() function and then destroy the global cpu_table1 without destroying the local version?

function conky_main()
    if conky_window == nil then return end
    local cs = cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, conky_window.width, conky_window.height)
    cr = cairo_create(cs)
    local updates=tonumber(conky_parse('${updates}'))
    --setup cpu table
    if updates == 4 then
        cpu_table1 = {}
    end
    if updates == 5 then
        cpu_table1[1] = conky_parse("${cpu cpu1}")
    end
    if updates>5 then
        local cpu_table1 = cpu_table1
        cpu_table1 = nil
    end-- if updates>5
    cairo_destroy(cr)
    cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
    cr=nil
    return ""
end-- end main function

If that does not work I can just do

function conky_main()
    if conky_window == nil then return end
    local cs = cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, conky_window.width, conky_window.height)
    cr = cairo_create(cs)
    local updates=tonumber(conky_parse('${updates}'))
    --setup cpu table
    if updates == 4 then
        cpu_table1_0 = {}
    end
    if updates == 5 then
        cpu_table1_0[1] = conky_parse("${cpu cpu1}")
    end
    if updates>5 then
        local cpu_table1 = cpu_table1_0
        cpu_table1_0 = nil
    end-- if updates>5
    cairo_destroy(cr)
    cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
    cr=nil
    return ""
end-- end main function

right?

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

^
Thanks, I will try my second idea (using separate global and local variables) when my power comes back on.
That might not be until this weekend though.

I have 13 graph tables with 300 entries each and I think they are the most likely culprit for the memory leak due to their size but I can't test that theory without being able to use my computer.

I also ran into problems localizing variables due to the way I was using loadstring() but I figured out how to fix that already.

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

you could try this for the cputable example

local tab={}--initialize at the top of the script outside of any function
print ("test1",tab[1])
function conky_main()
local updates=tonumber(conky_parse('${updates}'))
if updates>5 then
tab[1]="a"
print ("test2",tab[1])
end-- if updates>5
cairo_destroy(cr)
cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
cr=nil
return ""
end--end main function
print ("test3",tab[1])

in this case, you get the following on saving the script

test1    nil
test3    nil
Conky: Lua script '/home/mcdowall/lua/blank.lua' reloaded
test2    a

the localized table contents can be accessed anywhere in the script

That is an interesting idea I will keep it in mind when I am able to work on the script again.
I am not sure if it will work the way I want it to or not, I will have to try a few things and see what works best.

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

HI guys,
HOw can I format a script output in Conky? I have an offset value of 400 (right value for the resolution size i use), the first line appears at that offset value, but all the other lines not. How can I make conky show the entire script output at a specific offset value without calling the script for each line? I can format the script, but I would rather do it in the .conkyrc file.

THe output looks something like this.

             
             THis is twitter bla bla bla first line
This is twitter bla bla bla second line
This is twitter bla bla bla third line
.
.
.

Thank you

        assert(loadstring('sensorData = {"'..sensorData..'"}'))()
        gpu_mem_used = sensorData[42]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
        gpu_mem_total = sensorData[41]:sub(35,43):gsub(" MB","")
        gpu_mem_percent = string.format("%.2f", (tonumber(gpu_mem_used)/tonumber(gpu_mem_total))*100)
        gpu_temp = sensorData[79]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","°")
        gpuFan_speed = sensorData[38]:sub(35,40):gsub(" ","")

Hey thanks a lot arlance! That computer is in my office and I wont be back there till Monday but I will mess with it when Im there. I know I was able to see memory (total, free, and used) so I believe I should be able to get the output into conky somehow.

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

...If this post seems too involved for the Monster thread, tell me and I will post a Separate Topic..

A little help here, Please...Transparency...
...Works perfectly in #!Crunchbang
...Transparent in Wheezy BUT the Processes displayed (Last 8 lines) ghost over the previous 8 proceses as they up date in the bottom of the Conky display..
...Sid Black Background won't go transparent except by CLI command..
....cb-compmgr --xcompmgr &

As I have said in posts here before I am not a practiced (practised) conky script guy. I will find a script I like and modify it. So, I do run into issues now and again. I prefer a simple conky and I am running various incarnations of the script that I have enclosed below in #!Crunchbang, Wheezy and Siduction. Problem being is Transparency in Siduction 12. The collection of Conky users(gurus) and threads are here and not Siduction.

Here is what I have done:
First off due to the nice cb scripts all conkys run great with #!Crunchbang, no issues.
Second, with Wheezy I copied over the cb-compmgr script,, installed the xcompmgr package,, placed the 1st script below in /home/user/.config/autostart and Wheezy's Conky is transparent.
Lastly, Siduction(Sid) Black Background no conky transparency.
..So in Siduction I installed xcompmgr package etc etc just as in Wheezy but the background for conky is still black.
However if I run the 2nd line of the first script below via the CLI terminal..voila!
Conky goes transparent..Run it again CLI Black..Again CLI transparent..well you get the idea..

So, viewing the two scripts below and examples above.. Suggestions/Solutions for Conky transparency of the below conky script in Sid would be greatly appreciated...

(sleep 10s && cb-compmgr --cairo-compmgr) &
cb-compmgr --xcompmgr &

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

Hey thanks a lot arlance! That computer is in my office and I wont be back there till Monday but I will mess with it when Im there. I know I was able to see memory (total, free, and used) so I believe I should be able to get the output into conky somehow.

I have used that code in two different computers with three different graphics cards so it should work as is just to collect the data.

"nvidia-smi -a" has entries for all the data that could be reported by any nvidia graphics card so most of it will be "N/A".

Supposedly the really expensive, glorified rendering cluster, nvidia cards do return values for all the fields returned by "nvidia-smi -a".
Apparently more fields used to return data for most cards but nvidia stopped supporting them in nvidia-smi at some point.

I tried to get in there today just so I could see what info I could get from it but I got stuck having to do real work......... lol
If I remember correctly memory usage was all that it showed. its the Nvidia gforce 210 I believe.

another idea I had was to show network computers in conky? Like maybe samba shares? Would I have to mount the network drive and then do it?
Is that even possible or have I lost my mind?

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

How do you get specific icons in the code?  Part of my script looks like this:

According to my code the icons in the System Secton comes from (I think), inorder:

OpenLogos    Linux 3.2. etc
StyleBats       Nvidia
StyleBats       Intel P4 etc
StyleBats       System Uptime

(But how are the three StyleBats logos different?).

Also, and this is the main question - how do I change the icons in the Processors Section to be the same as the icon next to Intel P4 Extreme Edition in the System Section?  The code in my code in the Processors Section states the icon for each cpu is StyleBats - I can't work out how StyleBats has different icons and how it decides which one to use.

And... your conkyrc is... in space?
Then we can't help you.
But in case where your conkyrc would be found in your post then it could be another story.

Re: Conky v1.9 Thread

Here is my conky - I'm a newbie.  I have done a bit of playing and decided to try and build my own conky (copying bits of code from other sources like VinDSL.  I'm trying to teach myself how the main window is constructed and what code effects what.  Like positioning, heigth, width, etc and later the effects of the lua files). -   So ...  there are probably errors.  Here is my code and the window onmy Desktop.

###  Begin Window Settings  ###
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
#colour of background
own_window_colour 003EFF

# Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker)
# It is highly recommended to use own window with this one
# so double buffer won't be so big.
double_buffer yes

own_window_type override #override
own_window_transparent no
#own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
#own_window_class Conky
#own_window_title test 242 CPU0

# ARGB can be used for real transparency
# NOTE that a composite manager is required for real transparency.
# This option will not work as desired (in most cases) in conjunction with
# own_window_type override
# own_window_argb_visual yes

minimum_size 255 500 ## width, height
maximum_width 255  ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

# 40 moves box away from ide of screen
gap_x 40 ### left &right
gap_y 0 ### up & down

alignment mr

###  Font Settings  defines text in box ###
# Use Xft (anti-aliased font and stuff)
use_xft yes
xftfont Anonymous Pro:bold:size=9
#xftfont WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono:size=8

color1 FFA07A #LightSalmon
color2 778899 #LightSlateGrey
color3 FFDEAD #NavajoWhite
###  Miscellaneous Section  ###

# Adds spaces around certain objects to stop them from moving other things
# around, this only helps if you are using a mono font
# Options: right, left or none
use_spacer right

# Default and Minimum size is 256 - needs more for single commands that
# "call" a lot of text IE: bash scripts
text_buffer_size 256

# Subtract (file system) buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes
