Conky and ROX --pinboard [solved]

Right now my background is being set by ROX. I want Conky to be transparent, but it only shows up as a black background (the backround w/o ROX). How can I set Conky to be transparent to the ROX backbround?

Nevermind. I figured it out, I just used feh to also set the background, andded it to my .xinitrc. Works fine.

font is architecture:size=15. i don't know where i got it from. i collect fonts since my windows days, which are long gone....
the icons are called concept or somehow similar and i got the from (where all good icons come from) http://search.deviantart.com .
i've searched them a little, but i can't find them again... (i think j3concepts made them)
Could u also elaborate this line < pixmap_path "~/.icons/panel_icons/icons_2" > ?
you tell rox to search in this directory for icons. the directory (panel_icons/icons_2) is an arbitrary dir for putting my own icon themes together.
the panel at bottom is wbar. a brilliantly small panel for light-weight desktops/wm. http://freshmeat.net/projects/wbar/?bra … _id=259132

the .conkyrc:
<snip>
One suggestion I'd like to make for the .conkyrc you posted is that using:
use_spacer yes
is very helpful, especially in single-line / horizontal conky set-ups* where monitors' changing width can be more visually apparent / displeasing. Of course, this is only helpful with monospace fonts.
Also, if I may, I normally use a vertical conky layout which allows for much more information / monitors to be used. With single-line horizontals, you are much more limited in what will fit across the screen. As such, I created this script which toggles between various "conkyrc" files:
#!/bin/sh
##Script Name: toggle_conky
##Description of Script: toggle launch / close of conky
##Date: 2007 0826
conkypid="$(pidof -s conky)"
conkyrc_1="$HOME/.conkyrc"
conkyrc_2="$HOME/.conkyrc_HORIZMain"
conkyrc_3="$HOME/.conkyrc_HORIZHwStatus"
conkyrc_4="$HOME/.conkyrc_HORIZDisks"
tmpfile="/tmp/myconky_status"
# run conkyrc default
function conky_1 {
conky -c $conkyrc_1 &
echo '2' > $tmpfile
# run alternate 2 conkyrc
function conky_2 {
kill -15 $conkypid
conky -c $conkyrc_2 &
echo '3' > $tmpfile
# run alternate 3 conkyrc
function conky_3 {
kill -15 $conkypid
conky -c $conkyrc_3 &
echo '4' > $tmpfile
# run alternate 3 conkyrc
function conky_4 {
kill -15 $conkypid
conky -c $conkyrc_4 &
echo '100' > $tmpfile
# quit conky
function conky_100 {
kill -15 $conkypid
rm -f $tmpfile
if [ -z "$conkypid" ] ; then
conky_status="1"
elif [ -n "$conkypid" ] && [ -f "$tmpfile" ] ; then
conky_status=$(cat $tmpfile)
fi
case "$conky_status" in
1)
conky_1
2)
conky_2
3)
conky_3
4)
conky_4
100)
conky_100
esac
exit
Just create a desktop or panel launcher (or whatever you might use for a particular DE) pointing to the script. In this example, clicking the launcher:
- the first time = launching default conky w / default conkyrc
- the second time = launching horizontal conky w / .conkyrc_HORIZMain
- the third time = launching horizontal conky w / .conkyrc_HORIZHwStatus
- the fourth time = launching horizontal conky w / .conkyrc_HORIZDisks
- the fifth time = quitting conky
By using the script, you can keep the minimalist horizontal set-up while retaining flexibility of switching monitors simply by clicking the launch icon (of course you have to also prepare separate conkyrc files). By creating more conkyrc files and modifying the script to accommodate them, you could "rotate" between any number of conky layouts to suit your needs.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
* Note: I realize that you aren't using a single-line horizontal layout based on your posted conkyrc, but from the screenshot in the original post, it appeared that way to viewers of the screenshot because you had open windows covering the other areas.

[solved] Issue with conky and Kde 4

I have a small issue with conky and KDE 4.2. I start conky with a script which I stored under ~/.kde/Autostart. The script is simple and looks like this..
conky -c ~/.conkyrc_kde4
This works fine. But when I restart the first KDE and check with ps, I have 2 instances of conky running. The instances keep on growing with the number of restarts.
I think kde tries to restart all the apps which were running when the session was terminated. Is there a way to change this behavior in general or all the programs or for only a specific program like conky ?

My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

I upgraded to Lion, Excel won't open, and what is "Solver" found in the "Launchpad"?

I upgraded to Lion last night, I have Mac OX X 10.7.1 and all other Microsoft Office products (Word & PowerPoint) work just fine, but within the "Launchpad" of Lion, there is an icon called "Solver). When I click on it, the Excel - icon opens up but the program does NOT, and something called "Solver" (found in the Launchpad) also opens up but immediately shuts down, showing an error. WTH???

Hello jburrett,
From what you are describing it sounds like iTunes thinks the files are there, but they are missing or have been relocated. Use this article to locate the files.

You also have the option of deleting the entries you see in iTunes, and re downloading them using:

Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.

Saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

There is no output from that command line? Maybe the pid changed.
I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?

iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?

I'm not an apple expert or anything, but after hearing this from a coworker (and doing a quick google search) many of the generic chargers do not work in the 5s (especially after the most recent update.) I'm thinking this may be the problem in your case...the charger is not working so the phone just needs a good charge from either an apple certified charger or a generic that will actually work with the phone. I've read some people are able to pull the cable out, turn it around and then plug it back in facing the opposite direction to get it to work. Many have reported, however, that even when this remedies the cable issue, its still won't charge the phone while it is completely dead (which is likely the case since it won't power on at all.) So if you haven't fixed your problem by now, go buy a new charger and see what happens. You might be able to go into and apple store and borrow a charger there for a few minutes to see if this actually IS the problem. That way you don't waste your money before buying.
