Please note the "Net: 271B " in the second line on conky. This screenshot was taken when internet was almost idle.
When the internet speed increases to something like 250Kbps, the while second line shifs by 1 or 2 pixels, resulting into the movement of the whole second line.
How can I avoid that?

For example, in the last line, use this:

Tweak the value of the goto if necessary.
cool. that did the job...

Limiting string length in conky
In conky, i know 1 method for shortening strings to display the parts of them i want to see, that method is called cut.
It works great if i'm using the execi function in conky.
However i have a slight problem, i use:
${top_mem name 1}${offest -50} ${top_mem mem 1 mem_res 6}
to display process name and memory usage (in Mb) however the process name is too long and overlaps with the usage number, how can i shorten it to just 10 letters of the output?
Last edited by rabcor (2014-01-23 09:16:16)Thanks, that did it. After doing that though i had to increase offest from -50 to -10

Hacking conky's own_window_type desktop to run on one virtual desktop
Since I have no dual screen setup (just a laptop) I'd like to use my virtual desktops to run different conky instances on (almost) every virtual desktop. I tried to accomplish this by using own_window_type normal in conky, and that works - until I call the desktop, then it just minimises like a regular app. That's not what I want.
People in #conky suggested I use the if_match functionality in conky, so I can keep using the own_window_type desktop setting, but that does not solve my issue since you cannot define different conky window sizes in one configuration file. I checked in with #openbox and they told me essentially Conky should not display on every virtual desktop (and frankly they have a point, since you can tell e.g. Openbox to sticky an app on every virtual desktop). However, one would need to hack the code for that (specifically the stuff that takes care of putting the desktop window type on every virtual desktop). That's where you guys come in, since my C knowledge is close to non-existent .
I was told to look at x11.c and specifically the init_window() function but I'm at loss where to start...

I guess this is one of the important bits:
switch (window.type) {
case TYPE_DESKTOP:
prop = ATOM(_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP);
fprintf(stderr, PACKAGE_NAME": window type - desktop\n");
fflush(stderr);
break;
Reading the NET_WM spec (which all major WMs use as the standard more or less) does not tell me anything meaningful (at least not for me ):
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP indicates a desktop feature. This can include a single window containing desktop icons with the same dimensions as the screen, allowing the desktop environment to have full control of the desktop, without the need for proxying root window clicks.
If anyone could tell me what to replace, that would be great .Hi lewisspindlove,
Thanks for your input,
it doesn't happen when i have my desktop in a "single picture" mode, and,
it doesn't happen on other accounts, because besides mine(Admin), there is only
the Guest account and this does not occur on that account.
I tried your method of removing the wallpapers folder from Libary, then I
noticed that the computer will select ANY image which I last used when in
"single picture" mode, not "Change picture every 5mins" mode.
For example, let's say I have a picture which I saved in the Documents folder,
and I use that in "single picture" mode; after which I revert back to the folder which contains the pictures I want for "Change picture every 5mins" mode (which is stored somewhere else).
If i go to the Login window & log back in again, the computer selects the picture
I last used (the one in the Documents folder) as my background, BUT, after 5mins the picture changes to the ones I'm using for "Change picture every 5mins".
I hope I'm not confusing everyone!
This is a complicated & weird but ANNOYING problem!
Any ideas if an Archive & Install would help? Does that erase all of my stored data on my HDD? -
[SOLVED] Conky, Gmail, and STDOUT Question
I currently have Conky working with a script to check my gmail (gmail.pl). It works as intended in conky, but it saves all the output from the script to STDOUT. This isn't a problem until I log out of openbox and my screen is filled with these things:

It's not really a problem as much as an annoyance I guess.
What I THINK I would like to do is pipe the output to /dev/null? Or save it to /dev/null? I am just not sure how to do this. I went through the script itself and couldn't figure it out. Any ideas? Here is the script:

Last edited by monstermudder78 (2008-10-03 20:34:04)The fix was to change conky from:
${execi 60 perl ~/scripts/gmail.pl n}
To:
${execi 60 perl ~/scripts/gmail.pl n 2>/dev/null}
(Added 2>/dev/null, sending the error messages to /dev/null.)

Gmail, conky, and certificates
I am using a script that shows if I have new messages on gmail. the script is:
import os
import string
#Enter your username and password below within double quotes
# eg. username="username" and password="password"
username="xx"
password="xx"
com="wget -O - https://"+username+":"+password+"@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom --no-check-certificate"
temp=os.popen(com)
msg=temp.read()
index=string.find(msg,"<fullcount>")
index2=string.find(msg,"</fullcount>")
fc=int(msg[index+11:index2])
if fc==0:
print "0 new"
else:
print str(fc)+" new"
When I run conky, I receive these errors:

As far I ask I can tell, this wasnt happening before. This error seems to slow down conky.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

In the mean time, wget has an option that you can use to tell it to not try to validate certificates. It will still print out the annoying warnings though. The option is "--no-check-certificate".
EDIT: I guess it helps to read the previous posts more closely... I see that you are already using that option.
EDIT2: I just tested the gmail wget command with my own gmail account. (I have the ca-certificates package installed of course ) It worked without any of the annoying certificate warnings.
Nice - thanks yabbadabbadont. -
Is there a way to get multiple conky's up on my desktop? what I would like to accomplish is have my current conky (showing system resources and whatnot) in the upper right with the output of /var/messages/messages.log running in the upper left hand corner. my first guess is that I just need to make a second .conkyrc file, but can conky read 2 files? or do I have to have two instances of conky running?
O.K. tried that, but now it's flickering back and forth between the two conky's here are my two .conkyrc files:

[SOLVED] Trouble Making Conky Bottom Panel
I'm trying to create a bottom panel with conky that will replace LXDE's panel. Right now I have everything set up adequately except for having the conky panel appear on the bottom. The conky manpage mentions the panel setup under own_window_type, and says that it follows the lead of the alignment variable, so I figured setting the alignment before setting own_window_type may fix the issue, but I haven't had any such luck.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be posting in about conky assistance, but this section of the forum has helped me a ton in getting familiar with Arch, so its my safe guess for now. Any direction on asking elsewhere would be equally appreciated.
Last edited by mellowmaroon (2012-06-15 15:15:46)own_window_type must be panel, otherwise it doesn't behave like a panel. And adding "above" to the hints instead of "below" doesn't fix it.
Maybe the other options have some effect. When i tried setting "own_window" to "no", conky would disregard my transparency option and just make it transparent. -
[SOLVED] Error building conky 1.8.0 from ABS
Hello,
Since conky 1.8.1 has a bug with fonts, I'm trying to build conky 1.8.0. I got the PKGBUILD from the ABS and modified it to install 1.8.0. I also had to include a fix for curl, found here:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31589.
However, during make I get the following error:
make[2]: Er hoeft niets gedaan te worden voor 'install-exec-am'.

[SOLVED] Adapting conky "# of new emails" script to a message preview
The Conky wiki has a section to display the number of new emails (Gmail) with a python script. It appears that script uses urllib for credentials and then xml.etree to navigate the xml.
I'm trying to adapt the script to display the sender and title, since they exist in the xml.
I've been reading the documentation and after looking at the xml I'm pretty sure I need to use indexing, can't get it to work though.
Here's the script from the wiki with my comments on what I'm trying to add in.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '****',
passwd= '****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
fullcount = tree.find(NS + 'fullcount').text
# attempt to navigate to sender of email (feed/entry/author/name)
firstemailsender = tree[0][5][5][0].text
secondemailsender = tree[0][6][5][0].text
# attempt to navigate to title of email (feed/entry/title)
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
print(fullcount + ' new')
# added print that doesn't work because of other things not working
print (firstemailsender + ' - ' + firstemailtitle)
print (secondemailsender + ' - ' + secondemailtitle)
Last edited by heyitstallchris (2015-02-06 14:55:07)Hey,
I've re-written the code to use XPath instead of indexing, IMO it's more robust and compact. findall() returns a list of all Elements that match the given XPath. Make sure to include the namespace before each element name in the path (you can see that below when I use findall() to get all "author/name" elements.
The code saves all new mails in an array (mails) full of dicts, each with a 'sender' and 'title' keys. The script will blow up if you have zero or one new emails, but you can trivially check the length of the mails array before printing at the end.
If you have any questions about the code just ask.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '*****',
passwd= '*****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
root = tree.getroot()
mails = []
# only iterate over new mails, which have a tag "entry"
for entry in root.findall(NS+'entry'):

Conky: scrolling package notifier using perl
This post looks bigger than it actually is. Anyway, I hope this is clear... if not, just ask.
Majkhii's update notifier in python made me wonder if it would be possible to create a scrolling notifier in conky to display upgradable packages. A scrolling notifier would be able to display all the packages within a defined space without having your conky layout stretched across the screen if the package list gets too long.
I did this mostly as a programming exercise but thought that someone might find it useful, so here it is. If nothing else, you have a little client-server script pair to play with.
The best way that I came up with to do this (read: least overhead without patching conky) is to run a server script in the background that keeps track of upgradable packages and then to let conky exec a client script to get info from the server script. This avoids invoking pacman with "pacman -Qu" each time the scrolling text updates.
Automatically Syncing Pacman
First, you need to automatically sync pacman at regular intervals. Save this script...
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/pacman -Sy
...as "sync_pacman" or whatever you want to call it. Then do this:
chmod 744 sync_pacman
mv sync_pacman /etc/cron.hourly/
Everything in the cron.hourly directory will get run automatically every hour (unless you've killed cron).
The Server
Save the server as "conkyPkgListServer" (or whatever), make it executable, then start it in the background by passing it a port and, optionally*, an update interval (in minutes). E.g.
conkyPkgListServer 64564 15 &
Add this to your autostart list if you have one.
This starts the server on port 64564 and tells it to update every 15 minutes (this server is running on localhost and should only be accessible on your computer, i.e. not to anyone else on your network).
The Client
Save the client as "conkyPkgListClient", make it executable, then put it where conky can find it.
To get the number of upgradable packages, add a line like this to your conky config:
${execi 900 conkyPkgListClient 64564}
Conky will execute the client every 15 minutes, connect to the server script on port 64564, and get the number of packages.
Now, the interesting part... the scrolling package list. There are 2 different styles: horizontal and vertical.
Vertical Scroll
pkgA pkgB pkgC
pkgB -> pkgC ->
pkgC pkgA
pkgA pkgB
Horizontal Scroll/
pkgA pkgB -> gA pkgB pk -> pkgB pkgC
Add this to conky:
${execi <interval> conkyPkgListClient <port> <interval> <direction> <size>}
Replace "<port>" with the port number that you started the server on (64564 in the example above).
Replace "<interval>" with the update interval, in seconds.
Replace "<direction>" with "n","e","s", or "w" (for north, east, south, west, respectively). North and south create a vertical scroll moving up or down, resp., and east and west a horizontal scroll moving right or left, resp.
Replace "<size>" with either the number of lines to display for a vertical scroll or the number of characters to display for a horizontal scroll.
e.g.
7 lines showing a vertically scrolling package list that moves up 1 line every 2 seconds:
${execi 2 conkyPkgListClient 64564 2 n 7}
A single horizontally scrolling field 25 characters wide that moves left 1 character every 2 seconds:
${execi 2 conkyPkgListClient 64564 2 e 25}

The getPkgList subroutine will parse "Remove (1): bluez-libs-3.32-1" Rather than targets in this case.
Something I noticed when I was working on a conkypac rewrite (that I never bothered to finish.. sigh..). I ended up doing the python equivalent of..
$pkgs = $lines[-2];
Anywho.. great script, pretty cool idea. -
Calculating and displaying the Length of the side of a triangle
Hi everyone. I am currently working on Dragging and Stretching a triangle on screen. Ive got it working to a certain extent but the only problem is that whenever I go to the point from which i have to drag my triangle i.e. the Left hand Corner of the BAse at exactly 300,300 it redraws a new triangle below the existing one and then when i stretch it from the top and the right it leaves a trail of triangles everytime. But when i resize my window it clears the trail only to start agian when I drag or stretch it...
All my code for wahtever I have done is displayed below. I would appreciate all the help that any one can offer.
Secondly , as I stretch my triangle I would like to calculate My Length of the hypotenuse and the other 2 sides as they change and display it in System.out.println for now...
PLEASE HELP
the code is

Hey sorry mate.. ive got a nother problem.
I need to add loads of theorems to this tool. so i need a JMenu Bar called File with all the normal things. then another Menu called Theorems where i can have a list of JMenuItems with the theorem names --- Like when they click on Pythagoras Theorem it opens up all the triangle and the traingle data that u helped me with.
The thing is im using netbeans and in netbeans i can do it coz its there and all you got to do is put the components together.
Please Help
Thanks...

[SOLVED] Problem With conky and or xcompmgr
So I tried to search for this issue but i don't know quite how to explain through words on what is going on. basically i got corky installed. and so when i login my screen all around corky doesn't refresh. and i believe this to be because of xcompmgr. because thats when I installed it that is when my problem started. so here is a screenshot
Last edited by Sicariuxs (2012-11-14 21:13:45)no i don't have the problem when xcompmgr is running (lol didn't mean corky!! kept thinking about league of legends xD) but the problem is that if i don't have xcompmgr running that i don't have true trnasparancy on guake or any of my other applications. what i believe it to be is that maybe conky doesn't do so well with compositing. because this also has happened to me with compiz. but i know it has to be possible to combine the two! i've seen it done all over youtube. but i keep getting this problem. any suggestions? and thanks for the quick response

Field Length issue in ALV Report
Hi,
I am using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display few fields. Among them I have a field with length 200 characters text.
During ALV report display I am able to see only 128 characters, But when I download it and see the field, the it is showing complete text.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
RamakrishnaCheck out the last answer of this post.
Re: ALV Grid Display - 255 characters
<i>I found a SAP document called "Using ALV for list display.pdf" that says the following:
"Size of data fields: While the list-based ALVList can display only tables of up to 90 columns, the control-based ALVGrid and ALVFullscreen have the limitation of 128 characters per data cell."</i>
Please make sure to award point for helpful answers and mark the post as solved. Thanks.
