Thanks for the suggestion.  If I filter out 10.0.0.0 that gets me to where I wanted to be.

That sorted out the problem.  Thanks.

${if_existing /mnt/hda9}/mnt/hda9:$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?

I usually just make my conky config static. As in, I design it with the possibility in mind that something might not be there, but I will still use the space, as to not have conky moving up and down.

Maybe arrange the lines like this:

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

I havent tried it myself though.

The problem with this is that conky will draw blank lines where the if and endif statements are

Re: My Conky Config

if you do the if statements, elses etc inline with the line before and make sure that whatever is next (that you don't wish to have a line break) is on the next line down then conky won't generate a blank line either.

Thanks, Aughban.  That works, and it makes perfect sense, but it sure looks odd in .conkyrc!:

${if_mounted /XP}/XP $alignc ${fs_used /XP} / ${fs_size /XP} $alignr ${fs_used_perc /XP}%
${fs_bar /XP}
$endif${if_mounted /x750}/x750 $alignc ${fs_used /x750} / ${fs_size /x750} $alignr ${fs_used_perc /x750}%
${fs_bar /x750}
$endif

So, conky outputs the new lines at the end of lines 1 & 2 only if /XP is mounted; similarly, it outputs the new lines at the end of lines 3 & 4 only if /x750 is mounted.  Problem solved!

Re: My Conky Config

hi, there is just an "endif missing":
at the end of your weather section, replace this

${else}
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=12}4${font}   Weer Onbeschikbaar
${endif}

by this:

${endif}${else}${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=12}4${font}   Weer Onbeschikbaar
${endif}

hope this helps smile

I think the problem is you forgot to put "${endif}" sometime after this:

Re: My Conky Config

Hi, I installed CrunchBang on my eee 901 yesterday and I've got one question regarding Conky script; I use 8GB SDHC as an additional storage on my eee and I'd like to know how i could get conky to show it if it's plugged in? I'm semi-noob to linux (been using several distros on and off for couple years) so I don't yet know all the tricks to do things properly.

For now I only use this(i took Hanna's conky script(from page 1) and modified it slightly to suit my needs):

SDHC:
${fs_free /media/disk}/${fs_size /media/disk} ${alignr}${fs_bar 5,60 /media/disk}

So the problem is that when I take the SDHC out of my comp, Conky still shows the SDHC section but with parameters 0B/0B and when I plug the SDHC back, it doesn't update anymore to show the real used/free space. So how do i configure Conky to show the SDHC only when it's plugged in?

i don't know if this will work but you could try
