Post your conkyrc files with screenshots here

#1 Post by mikeinrichmond »

Ubuntu has a posting like this but a lot of their files don't work in Puppy, so I was hoping some of you out there running conky in Puppy (3.01 if it matters) would help a noob trying to learn to get started.

Saw some interesting add-ons like gmail and a weather forecaster in ubuntu conky but they needed additional packages and it was unclear if they would work in Puppy. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Here's one that was called pizza conky if I remember right, that I want to work on... Thanks in advance...

This is actually from my Gentoo install. Other than the multiple cpu thing it would work just fine in Puppy (I don't actually have dual-core, but I do have hyperthreading).

The temperature requires that you first modprobe thermal of course. Also, you'll note that rather than the built-in ${acpitemp}C, I used this:
${exec grep "[0-9].*" -o /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature}
That's because the built-in version wasn't updating the temperature very often. My version does it every time Conky updates, which is every second. It only works if the path to the temperature is the same though. I think that can change. I know battery paths can change between different machines.

Nice work! Need more conkyrc files...

#5 Post by mikeinrichmond »

Thanks to all that have posted so far! I really like the minimalist, small horizontal-bar approach. Think I'll start working to re-arrange mine. I've also seen where some have rigged conky to check their email, weather and RSS feeds. Anyone have this working in Puppy? (Saw them in the Ubuntu forums)

I'll post my new conkyrc with a screenshot when I'm done.

Here is a script to get your favorite baseball team score. Also a screenshot using it in conky.

Script I named.....redsox:
You will need lynx. Just change the name at the end to your favorite team. If you have two names to your team, it should work by "" quoting them. (?)
ex: "NY Yankees"

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

lynx -nonumbers -dump http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/scoreboard | egrep -i -A12 -B2 Boston
Section of my .conkyrc:

Code: Select all

${color lightgrey}File systems:
 / $color${fs_free /}/${fs_size /} ${fs_bar /}
${color lightgrey}File systems:
 /mnt/home $color${fs_free /mnt/home}/${fs_size /} ${fs_bar /mnt/home}
$color$stippled_hr

${color 457ccc}Boston Red Sox $color
${texeci 7200 lynx -nonumbers -dump http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/scoreboard | egrep -i -A12 -B2 Boston}

@trapster

Thanks for the clever BoSox scriptage! Fiddling with it now. For anyone using elinks (vs lynx), change "-nonumbers" to "-no-numbering" in trapster's script.

BTW, the NY Yankees aren't a baseball team -- they're a collection of over-paid bush league chumps.

Heres some code to display the Puppy version in Conky (add your own color)

Code: Select all

Puppy ${pre_exec head /etc/puppyversion -c 3 | sed 's/[0-9]/&./'}

And a breakdown if your interested

TEXT
Puppy ${pre_exec head /etc/puppyversion -c 3 | sed 's/[0-9]/&./'}


Puppy __________ plain text
$ ______________ indicates variable for conky
{...} ___________ whats inside the brackets is a variable
pre_exec ________ executes the folowing commands once only
head ___________ lists whats at the front of a file
/etc/puppyversion _ path and file that has data
-c ______________ count bytes from start of file to display
3 ______________ how many bytes
| ______________ pipe command, from head output to sed input
sed ____________ serial editor for strings of charactors
'...' ____________ quote marks inclose sed expression
s ______________ substitute command
/../../ __________ delimiters for substitute
[0-9] ___________ matches any number in string
&. _____________ keep first number add . (decimal point)

DC

P.S. You can find all the colours of the rainbow and more in

bebebop,

I just posted on another thread, then thought I should have posted here instead. I would really like to duplicate what you have done with your latest (blue time zone world map) desktop. Can you post further details required to duplicate that setup? Latest news, weather, background image, etc...

Also, which Puppy version and Window Manager are you using there?

What can I say? I really like it!

-Roy

Hello Roy

Machine= Samsung NC10
Puppy= K9-005
Desktop= Xfce

Conky version= 1.7.2 with imlib2 - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=48725

instructions for wunderground weather= http://conky.linux-hardcore.com/?page_id=2381
this is the only weather script I could get to work, the original scripts are in the wunderground folder in the zip file.

Conky seems to require a base .conkyrc file, I use a bare config to allow different script combinations.

The formating is designed for a 1024x600 screen with a global font size of 78
Took quite a while to figure it all out so I hope I can save you some work.

Background [IBM map - google image search], fonts & scripts are in the zip file.

Not fully. My main OS is a cut down version of XP, I'm running puplets from a usb stick to get experience of linux and because from power on I can be online in 60secs compared to the 5mins it takes with XP.
If it's of interest, I had to change the original Atheros wireless card to a Broadcom card to get the wifi to work.

Made me curious so I tried it out with Lighthouse. I got it all working with iceWM & JWM but not with openbox or LXDE.

Sorry, forgot to add conkyweather fonts to the zip.

to keep eye on active connections ip addresses:
# my mod to include ip addr in n form -added $5 to awk and -n to netstat

Code: Select all

${color orange}
${execi 30 netstat -eptn | grep ESTAB | awk '{print $9 $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr}
$color
here is the original:

Code: Select all

${execi 30 netstat -ept | grep ESTAB | awk '{print $9}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr}

What a great thread. I'm almost there, have everything working, but would like to know: how do I display my pupsave file in mbs rather than kbs?

bebebop, I'm using:

${color2}Pupsave free/:${color2}${alignr}${execi 5 ~/conky/calcfreespace.sh}

Though my calcfreespace.sh is in /usr/sbin. Are you using a modified calcfreespace.sh to display your pupsave in mbs?

Thanks for any advice,
Jake
