Conky 1.7.1.1

#1 Post by Wolf Pup »

Note: Compiled without xdamage support.
Also, move xlock icon down, to above pupzip or conky will cover xlock icon.

For puppy3 nothing else is needed. For puppy 4 (dingo) libxcb and libidn are needed.

conky-1.7.1.1.pet
md5sum

-----------------------------

libxcb-1.0.pet
md5sum

libidn-0.6.10.pet
md5sum

Thank you for your efforts. Conky works fine under Puppy 3.01. Using Puppy 4.0 Alpha1, Conky does not work. It appears a needed library is missing. Since Puppy 4.0 is still at the Alpha1 stage for testing. This is not a serious problem. I will check the operation of Conky when the next test version of Puppy 4.0 is released.

Here is the error message that occurs under Puppy 4.0 alpha1.
conky: error while loading shared Libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Just downloaded and tried by executing the two referenced commands by hand.
It sets in the upper right corner, but covers the cons which are there.
Is this normal?

yes, conky creates its own window at upper right hand of screen or else it will flicker alot. The xlock icon should be moved down or it will be repositioned on reboot, or if ezpup is installed, the icon(s) will have to be moved to another area of the desktop.

for rawpup type in ldd /usr/local/bin/conky in a terminal, that will list all required dependencies, for libidn here the package http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=5101 any of conkys dependencies should be found on linuxpackages or http://packages.slackware.it

4.0 Alpha1 doesn't have qiv. Does this mean that just the background setter will fail or conky as well?

just tried in 4.0 Alpha1

Code: Select all

# ldd /usr/local/bin/conky | grep 'not found'
        libidn.so.11 => not found
        libxcb-xlib.so.0 => not found
        libxcb.so.1 => not found
# find /usr -name "*idn*"
/usr/lib/python2.5/encodings/idna.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/encodings/idna.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/encodings/idna.pyo
# find /usr -name "*xcb*"
#
I haven't tried copying the libs in from an earlier version yet but it might work.

I love this utility! In a future version, if you could include a temperature readout for the CPU it would be perfect and allow me to drop wmpower.

Thanks!

To get the temperature to display you will need to load the thermal module

Code: Select all

modprobe thermal
each time you boot before you start conky

@Trapster: What file do you edit to load Conky when using XFCE? I've tried all the usual suspects with no luck. Thanks in advance!

I believe if you shutdown/logout xfce from the menu bar, it remembers what is open for the next start.
Open conky from the menu then click on the "quit" button on the bar. Choose log out, then at the prompt try xwin.

ok conky works fine on my computer if i run it from console , accept i do get that stupid battery error, guess its looking for laptop thing. Anyways i followed the instructions right and added this:

qiv -z /root/Choices/ROX-background.jpg
conky -d

that was to be added in the .xinitrc file which is located in root. I added it to the right line and saved it. Rebooted and the thing still dont start up automatically.. The instructions are not right for 3.01 puppy.

check in /tmp/xerrs.log and see of the following text is in there. If not, then check to see if the commands to start conky dont start with #'s.

Code: Select all

Conky: desktop window (4c) is root window
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (800002)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/apm: No such file or directory

hi,
just a question, is there a way not to show the conky process in the [ALT+TAB] list, when switching applications?
i use IceWM, Puppy 2.16, and i launch conky this way in /root/.icewm/startup:

Code: Select all

qiv -z /usr/share/backgrounds/background.jpg
conky -d
Puppy 2.16 on HP Vectra VL400 - PIII 800 MHz - 320M RAM
