Re: My Conky Config

@Hanna - That's a great looking config.

@ESCAPADO - Didn't even realize that there was a pidgin script for conky. Might come in handy. smile

Re: My Conky Config

I am indebted to Hanna's original for my beautiful Conky setup, and to everybody here for their tips and advice (despite my low resolution photo wallpaper, but I wanted a slideshow of rotated images from my photo collection), and here it is: I couldn't find a command called 'ip' so I deleted the line with the Public IP. It's not of major importance to me anyway.

I'm particularly fond of the weather segment. smile

Wow all you guys have really done something nice with your configs.
This means I have to start working on mine as well. Lets see what I'll be able to cook up.

Re: My Conky Config

This is a great thread.  I'm impressed by everyone's work!  I'm new to #! and Conky.  I seem to be having a bit of trouble with my config.  What I want to do is show any inbound connections but only if they exist so something like the following: 

${if_empty (tcp_portmon 1 32767 rhost 0)}$else  ${tcp_portmon 1 32767 rhost 0} ${alignr} ${tcp_portmon 1 32767 lservice 0}${endif}

The problem is the if_empty bit.  I don't really understand what it does but the tcp_portmon seems to always be false.  Thus in the absence of a connection I end up with a blank line.  Any suggestions?

Re: My Conky Config

Unfortunately, I think you'll have to find another way. The $if_empty clause checks to see of a conky variable is empty. As far as I know, tcp_portmon will always return some value. For example, I currently have no inbound connections, yet in conky, it's showing as 0.

Hope this helped.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected.  Any suggestions on what else I might try?

I'm also trying to get conkyForecast(.py) setup.  I've got it installed and working but I'm getting these uppercase As with a little ^ like hat on top of them.  This screen shot http://images.maketecheasier.com/2008/1 … -small.jpg shows the A-hat thing just like mine right after the number and before the unit.  Taking out the unit and degree sign doesn't suppress the problem.  Has someone else solved this problem?

Re: My Conky Config

To fix the A's w/ the ^ on them, put this line in before TEXT

override_utf8_locale yes

As for you're other problem, I tried using tcp_portmon's other commands (rport, lservice, etc) but all of them produced some sort of output when Incoming Connections was 0. I'd say you're best bet is by taking a look at your ports through some scripting language (bash, python, perl, awk, etc...)

However, is it really that big of a problem for it to show 0 for incoming connections?

[Edit]: Unless someone here knows how to use ${if_empty} properly (w/ tcp_portmon)

Thanks for confirming what I suspected.  Any suggestions on what else I might try?

Just use iftop, it shows incoming and outgoing connections...  you can see how I have it on my desktop:

${if_existing /mnt/hda9}/mnt/hda9:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/hda9} / ${fs_size /mnt/hda9}$endif

When using conky conditional if statements, how do I prevent a "blank line" if condition is not met?

Good question!  I use an ugly hack: cancel out the blank line by inserting a negative vertical offset if the condition is not met.  So your example above might look like this:

Disk usage /:$alignr${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /}
${if_existing /mnt/win_c}/mnt/win_c:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/win_c} / ${fs_size /mnt/win_c}$else ${voffset -15} $endif
${if_existing /mnt/win_d}/mnt/win_d:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/win_d} / ${fs_size /mnt/win_d}$else ${voffset -15} $endif
${if_existing /mnt/hda6}/mnt/hda6:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/hda6} / ${fs_size /mnt/hda6}$else ${voffset -15} $endif
${if_existing /mnt/hda8}/mnt/hda8:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/hda8} / ${fs_size /mnt/hda8}$else ${voffset -15} $endif
${if_existing /mnt/hda9}/mnt/hda9:$alignr${fs_used /mnt/hda9} / ${fs_size /mnt/hda9}$else ${voffset -15} $endif

You'll probably need to adjust the value of -15 to match the height of a blank line in your chosen font.  As I say, it's ugly, but it works!

Does anyone have a more elegant solution?

And it looks something like this:

The only notable point is the use of negative vertical offsets in the conditional "if_mounted" statements.  These offsets are there to cancel out the blank line that Conky inserts if the partition is not mounted; see the previous post. smile

Re: My Conky Config

qi: thanks for the tip about the conditional "Disk Usage" lines in conky. Now my /media/IPOD displays free space when mounted and conky shrinks when it is not mounted. I'll watch to see if a different solution appears but yours works great.
