S11 - Thank you for sharing this amazing Conky. I am really enjoying it! I am confused as to why I don't see it on the front page of CPS?!

Ooooooooooo beautiful. Something looks familiar. Can't quite place it.

I know: Sherlock Holmes - the latest film.
The analogue clock is a dead give-a-way.

Donno, I was going to put it up at CPS ... then got caught up with other stuff and forgot.
But I have to admit, you make it look sexy with everything else there.

@ VastOne - Thanks. All credit to Sector11 and his newly found Lua skills!

@ Sector11 - Well my nickname is Sexy Beast so...oh you said I made "it" look sexy! Ha, ha, just kidding. Seriously you should put it up on CPS (and DeviantArt for that matter).

The Sexy Beast huh ... your secret revealed: ElderV.LaSexyBeast.jpg

OK, back to the lua script ... something in me says .... Mmmmmm, no, not right.

It's like this. mrpeachy created the 24 hour clock. Then someone asked if it was possible to get 4 analog clocks in a conky. You know, sometimes you see a run of clocks on an international company's wall:

      Washington      London      Moscow      Tokyo

... again mrpeachy came through and created it in a lua script. I saw the potential - OH YEA, something I had 'thought about for a while'.

But I had to go behind the scenes to pick mrpeachy's brain on how to get day name, numbers in there that left a little room for expansion. So it's really his work, I just created the layout.

As I have said for a long time, "I'm a layout guy!" The LUA code - if looked at by a lua script writer I'm certain would create headaches where I touched it.

However in my own defence - it does work and looks great ... well, sexy on your part.
hmmmmmmmm code by a large part: mrpeachy - layout and code tweaking by 'what's his name'!

Yea, that could work

I guess I'm just happy that someone else likes it enough to use as well.

ElderV.LaCoste · 2012-07-12 12:15:35

Ok then. Thank you Mr. Peachy for sharing all of your superb skills with us. Without your Lua scripting Linux just wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

@ S11 - Still, excellent work and idea! That is a real nice beast but I'm ready to drop that whole thing now lol!

I was just having a bit of fun me friend. I look at you desktops and I have never been disappointed in the 'artistic' touch you have.

I agree with you, mrpeachy is a master.

Pretty standard stuff; added a cloud image from the Weather Channel site as background for weather conky:

This laptop Im on has an integrated Intel graphics card. Is there any way to get gpu info from it and display it in conky?

lwfitz · 2012-07-13 09:22:07

Been playing around with Se7en11's conky and tweaked it a bit

Check sensors - one of ISA temp is your GPU temperature, so "${hwmon}" should work, but which one it is?
If you have no more readings than CPU temperature then try adding GRUB kernel parameter - "acpi_osi=Linux"; and reboot.
You could install "libsensors3" also and then do sensors-detect again.

Then monitor all temp sensors and run glxgears. One that rise is GPU. Unless, only temp1 rises, which is CPU, then it means that your GPU have no sensor (many integrated haven't).

Hi-I want to show currency conversion in my Conky setup.
If someone has this already setup can they post the details - I am looking for £ to brazilian reais.

Thanks

Excellent idea....

wget -O $HOME/brazil.xml http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/GBP/rss.xml

will save the current rates for British Pounds to ~/Brazil.xml

Where you'll see (I included the line numbers, those you don't see):

94      <title>BRL/GBP</title>
95      <link>http://themoneyconverter.com/GBP/BRL.aspx</link>
96      <pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:10:05 GMT</pubDate>
97      <description>1 British Pound Sterling = 3.16660 Brazilian Real</description>

Now getting that into conky will require the skilled work of a bash/python/lua/perl/etc etc programmer.

I'd like the same for different currencies ... but yea! Great Idea!!!!
Xing fingers someone sees this.

I am not a skilled bash programmer but this was not very complicated
It works the same way I used to get my cpu temps so I had a good example to go off of.

wget --timeout=0.75 --tries=1 -O - http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/GBP/rss.xml | grep "Brazilian Real" | cut -c 47-53

Its output looks like this.

3.16660

The "--timeout=0.75 --tries=1" keeps wget from locking up conky if the website does not respond within 0.75 seconds.

I totally read ronaldo99's post wrong and then was completely thrown by your responses...... I think it might be a long day........

So since I cant get GPU info from this one, does anyone know a way to show my current vuze downloads?

You get your cpu tempos with wget?
Oops! grep ... OK!

Well, you're skilled enough:

  1 £ = R${execi 600 wget --timeout=0.75 --tries=1 -O - http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/GBP/rss.xml | grep "Brazilian Real" | cut -c 47-53}

  1 R = £${execi 600 wget --timeout=0.75 --tries=1 -O - http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/BRL/rss.xml | grep "British Pound Sterling" | cut -c 39-45}

... works like a charm.

@ ronaldo99 There you go - an arclance / s11 combo.

Don't give up on that GPU just yet...

Can't help with vuze though, I've never heard of it until now. Looks interesting.

I used to, when they were in my .conkrc.
They are done this way in my lua script now.

local sensors = io.popen("sensors")
local sensorData = sensors:read("*a")
sensors:close()
sensors = nil
--# convert text data to list
sensorData = sensorData:gsub(",",""):gsub("\n",'","')
sensorData = assert(loadstring('return {"'..sensorData..'"}'))
sensorData = sensorData()
--# end convert text data to list
local core0_temp = sensorData[4]:sub(18,24)
local core1_temp = sensorData[5]:sub(18,24)
local core2_temp = sensorData[6]:sub(18,24)
local core3_temp = sensorData[7]:sub(18,24)
local cpu_ext_temp = sensorData[27]:sub(17,23)
local cpu_voltage = sensorData[11]:sub(16,23)
local cpuFan_speed = sensorData[20]:sub(15,23)
local caseFan1_speed = sensorData[19]:sub(15,23)
local caseFan2_speed = sensorData[22]:sub(15,23)
local case_temp = sensorData[24]:sub(17,23)

If you want to get data for more than one conversion (for the same starting currency) it would be better to use a script since you only need to download the data once that way.

I did a bash script since a python script would be overkill for just one conversion and would have taken longer to write.

Well, it is obvious you get more out of 'sensors' than I do.

I have a very basic bash script - I got the 'wget' idea from Teo's weather scripts (Hi Teo ) so my basic script looks like this:

coin

#!/bin/bash

wget -O $HOME/Conky/coin/cad_ar.xml http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/CAD/rss.xml
wget -O $HOME/Conky/coin/ar_cad.xml http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/ARS/rss.xml

exit

But the conky I just created looks like this:

TEXT
 ${color8}CAD=ARS ${color7} ${execi 600 wget --timeout=0.75 --tries=1 -O - http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/CAD/rss.xml | grep "Argentine Peso" | cut -c 40-47}  \
${color3}ARS=CAD ${color7} ${execi 600 wget --timeout=0.75 --tries=1 -O - http://themoneyconverter.com/rss-feed/ARS/rss.xml | grep "Canadian Dollar" | cut -c 39-45} ${color}

I'm only interested in the CAD=ARS part, but hey, it's easy enough to add the flip side of the coin. pun alert!

I wish I knew what they all were so I could calibrate the alarm limits but I have not had any luck finding anything out about most of them.

I only know which fan is which because I unplugged them one at a time to see which one went away.

On my other computer I get much less data from sensors.

Your conky looks good, no need to make any changes.
A real script is really only an improvement if you want to do something like get the value of the Euro in more than 1 other currency.

arclance · 2012-07-13 20:34:05

I posted an update about the changes I am making to my iCalendar conky script in its thread.

The big change is that the output of the script will now be drawn with a lua script instead of ${execp}.

This slightly reduces cpu use and allows for the new multicalendar output to work in any conky without extensive user modification of the script.

There is a working example script posted in the thread if anyone is interested in looking at it.
