interactive conky

mrpeachy · 2012-03-14 01:04:38

this thread is to separate out the questions and setups for interactive conky from the general conky based questions and setups which should go in the monster thread

you will need:

xdotool, the repos can have an old copy, my version is
NOTE recent ubuntu and ubuntu derivatives should have an up to date copy

xdotool version 2.20110530.1

here are the deb files i used to get xdotool up and running
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/183389/#p183389

These xdo debs are needed for amd64 architecture.
xdotool_2.20110530.1-1_x86_64.deb
libxdo2_2.20110530.1-1_x86_64.deb

you can get those here
http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/d … nloadCount

also xwininfo is not one of #! default packages
so you will need to install that too - this is part of a package called "x11-utils"

so that xdotool and xwininfo can get the right information
you need to add this line to your conkyrc

own_window_title clicky

unless otherwise specified in the lua script

so here is a test script exploring the mouse over ability

--[[click with mouse over lua by mrpeachy - thanks to barrybarrykelly for the xdotool method and gmonti for finding the deb files for the xdotool

needs some cleaning up, can see some inconsistencies which are a simple result of messy script writing (what works is more important than how it looks when im starting out!)
took a while to figure out the interactions to allow the mouse to move from one button to the next without shutting off the first

WOW! Squeaky clean thread - not even dust in the corners yet.

Lookin good there mrpeachy... lookin real good!

Why do I get the feeling that the cpu in the first box to the left of CPU1 is CPU0
But I had to try modifying it ... and it didn't even break.

im very disappointed sector11... (at the lack of breakage)

the first cpu number

CPU%: X

is the output of ${cpu} which is the average usage (which i think is the same as ${cpu cpu0}), then you mouse over or click to see the individual cores

or am i missing your point?

No you got my point. I added a cpu0 because I didn't see it on the list and I have 3. Besides, I want to see if it would break

Have to look at thew code closer to if I can add something myself ... now don't go cheating and telling me how, it might not break.

Sector11 · 2012-03-14 14:35:13

You did this on purpose I can tell. You said - I'll confuse Sector11. I wanted to add a button and have it work.

The have it work part doesn't look so hard BUT adding a button??? Where?

BRAIN FREEZE!

mrpeachy · 2012-03-14 19:23:58

that is a drawback of the interaction
its not configured easily
im thinking about how to make it more "modular" but given the number of different permutations you could have (or want) for the time being these kinds of setups need to be on the bespoke side

i think i have an idea that could be based on setup tables... just enter info into the tables, do a bit of copying and pasting and you have your own setup, but thats a little ways away

the other thing is, as mentioned above

needs some cleaning up, can see some inconsistencies which are a simple result of messy script writing (what works is more important than how it looks when im starting out!)

real world has taken precedence today however...

1. I realize it's in super-alpha but had to ask/mention it.
2. in my excitement I didn't see what you quoted.
3. Yea me too, after being out for 5 hours I just got home.

LOOK: (checking- yes interactive conky thread)

Second one for anyone that wants it.

The S-11 tux is cool as sh#!

Now I need to get my hands on the interactive launcher.. I have a few concepts that I want to throw at it.

mrpeachy · 2012-03-16 03:10:15

here is the launcher script

--[[launcher icons

call in conkyrc in a similar manner to this above TEXT in addition to regular conky settings

lua_load ~/pathto/filename.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_main

in the conkyrc you also need to add this setting

own_window_title clicky

or you can set your own window title then edit towards the bottom of the script
so that any instances of clicky are replaced with the title you set
avoid spaces in title name

one difference here is that i have moved to storing the click outcomes in tables which gives me the ability to generate multiple buttons through a for loop with just one chunk of code

im using this code in the for loop

        local point=(math.pi/180)*(list_start_deg+(list_deg_gap*(i-1)))
        local list_tlx=main_tlx+list_radius*(math.sin(point))
        local list_tly=main_tly-list_radius*(math.cos(point))

to arrange the icons around the start button in a circle

ive written a bit about working with for loops in the lua how to which might help

basically what i have is the main button is an on/off button which then turnes on the outer buttons that are the execute buttons

That gives me a starting point to build from.. cool!!
I have been visiting the how-to a lot..

Thanks for the script.. and post any suggestions that you have.

mrpeachy · 2012-03-16 18:48:24

some progress

http://youtu.be/gbxyON3g2Dw

buttons are MUCH more configurable and easy to add remove adjust
working on the placement and rearrangements when buttons are clicked on/off

still have to come up with a format i like

falldown · 2012-03-16 18:54:31

Keep me up on your improvements with the system monitor SirPeachy.!
I'm getting a

Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to call a nil value

with the system monitor lua.

I added

own_window_title clicky

and its your weather_conkyrc so I'm not sure what I'm overlooking here

hmmm i do tend to recycle scripts, and occasionally things get left over fomr previous incarnations!

ill post the above scritpt in a bit, dont have access to it right now

Ok Peachy.. I'm sure that I am just overlooking something here.

note: could you make a list of all the libs and tools that you have associated with conky. Not a big rush on that, but I think it might be useful for all of us followers

EDIT: Found the issue.. had a random "=]" smiley face out in the far reaches of X.. and sadly enough I probably put it there while posting on a forum. Yes I make silly mistakes like this all the time

here is the new version

only things additional to conky required is

xdotool version 2.20110530.1
and
xwininfo

Cool cool.. lots of function notes and examples! looks like it was written just for me!!

mrpeachy · 2012-03-17 18:24:48

some steps in the right direction

http://youtu.be/sAqfjj6HqTI

the buttons next to the processes button, M P C T

M is a mode button and switches from list ordered by current cpu to list by cpu time
P shows pid
C shows cpu usage
T shows time

mrpeachy · 2012-03-17 21:05:59

and closer

http://youtu.be/6xvd_flp4qw

been able to achieve a good level of modularity
you copy and paste the button function
make some changes here and there and by doing so can easily add a new display section

still requires editing throughout the script, so would like to consolidate settings to the main function at the top

falldown · 2012-03-17 21:15:29

Here is a rough look of how the launcher will turn out.. right now its just a non animated png..

I think it looks like a HUD in a starship

VastOne · 2012-03-17 21:17:28

^That is amazing! Wow!

What is that panel/launcher you are using bottom center?

thats falldows version of my conky launcher script

HOLY COW PEACHY!! Options.. options and a side order of options..... then wash it down with a HUGE glass of options!!
It's looking really GOOD!

EDIT: I will grab your new script for system monitor.. after you get your consolidating done

what i was thinking about with the circle launcher is to have a couple of buttons that would let you turn the circle
so you can access other programs by spinning the circle round

not entirely sure how to do that right now, but its on my to do list

I was thinking that earlier today.. while messing with the start degree and gap. You can only have so many launchers+gap before they start to overlap.
The rotation function sounds like a good solution.

EDT: Peachy you know that if you can mouse-over and click in conky... you might be able to GRAB in conky.
Just a random thought.
