Dzen2 and conky-cli issue

Hello I'm trying to set up dzen2 with conky-cli, here's my configs etc:
/bin/dzconky:
FG='#aaaaaa'
BG='#1a1a1a'
FONT='-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'
conky | dzen2 -e -h '16' -w '600' -ta r -fg $FG -bg $BG -fn $FONT
.conkyrc:
background no
out_to_console yes
update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0
use_spacer no
TEXT
${time "%A %-d. %B %H:%M}
And when i try to run dzconky, this appears:
[roberth@Magda ~]$ dzconky
usage: dzen2 [-v] [-p [seconds]] [-m [v|h]] [-ta <l|c|r>] [-sa <l|c|r>]
[-x <pixel>] [-y <pixel>] [-w <pixel>] [-tw <pixel>] [-u]
[-e <string>] [-l <lines>] [-fn <font>] [-bg <color>] [-fg <color>]
[roberth@Magda ~]$
Where is the error, and by the way, how do I get the same as xft-sans-10 with dzen2?

I believe you must add the path to terminus in your xorg.conf... at least that's what I had to do:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local" # added for Terminus
EndSection
Thank you that helped.

    Thanks for the suggestions Skanky. The broken line in conky was a copy/paste error into the browser - it is a single line conky (I've edited the OP to reflect that).
    I think it is a problem with the way conky-cli and dzen work together. If I run:
    echo "testing" | dzen2 -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p
    it prints as expected.
    Similarly, if I comment the conky | dzen2 line in .xinintrc and just run conky-cli from the start script it works...
    Trying to get then to work together, however, is another matter.
    /edit
    Some progress: it seems that it is being drawn - if I Mod-Shift-q the dwm status bar briefly disappears and I can see conky momentarily. I tried starting conky | dzen2 after dwm but that didn't work.
    I have also added some options, which seem to have helped, my .xinintrc entry now looks like:
    conky | dzen2 -x '500' -e '' -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p &

  • Ratpoison + dzen2 + conky-cli [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to mix ratpoison up a little bit with the dzen2 statusbar. The bar appears and everything, no issues there, but as soon as I fire up a frame with rp it overlaps the bar! I figured that there should be some option for makin dzen2 always staying on top but I can't find anything regarding that feature(if it exists). Anyone with ideas?
    Here is my .xinitrc: (don't mind the long sleep, that will be corrected sooner or later ;))
    1 #!/bin/bash
    2
    3 (sleep 15s && conky | dzen2 -e '' -h '16' -w '1980' -ta r -fg '#aaaaaa' -bg '#1a1a1a' -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p) &
    4 exec ratpoison

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have the value 'defpadding 0 0 0 0' in my .ratpoisonrc, changing the second value to 16 doesn't do anything though. I tampered with all of the values to see if it altered the frames in some way, but nothing happened.

  • Can't get conky-cli and bash scripts to both display in dwm statusbar!

    I'm trying to configure my dwm status bar to display some simple information using conky-cli and bash scripts. At first I tried just letting conky run the bash scripts (for network and volume state), but this increased my cpu usage by about 5%, which is significant considering I normally have 1-3% usage when idle. Also, I wanted to keep conky because it makes the display of certain information easy, such as cpu & RAM usage.
    The problem is I'm having trouble getting both to display side by side. Here are the relevant parts of my .xinitrc:
    network(){
    iwconfig wlan0 2>&1 | grep -q no\ wireless\ extensions\. && {
    echo wired
    exit 0
    essid=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '"' '/ESSID/ {print $2}'`
    stngth=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '=' '/Quality/ {print $2}' | cut -d '/' -f 1`
    bars=`expr $stngth / 10`
    case $bars in
    0) bar='[-------]' ;;
    1) bar='[#------]' ;;
    2) bar='[##-----]' ;;
    3) bar='[###----]' ;;
    4) bar='[####---]' ;;
    5) bar='[#####--]' ;;
    6) bar='[######-]' ;;
    7) bar='[#######]' ;;
    *) bar='[--!!!--]' ;;
    esac
    echo $essid$bar
    exit 0
    volume(){
    vol=$(amixer get Master | awk -F'[]%[]' '/%/ {if ($7 == "off") { print "MM" } else { print $2 }}' | head -n 1)
    echo Vol: $vol%
    exit 0
    conky | while true; read line; do xsetroot -name "`$line` `volume` `network` `date '+%a %m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p'`"; done &
    exec dwm
    (let me know if it would help to post any other files)
    For some reason when I run this I only get the network/volume scripts and date running, updating every second (I think). The conky line just doesn't show up. I don't know what could be wrong, since I didn't see any error messages.
    An even better solution would be to just have shell scripts to display CPU and MEM usage. I have a dual-core cpu, cpu0 and cpu1. I'd like to see both percentages if possible, or at least a percentage that is an accurate average of the two or something. In conky-cli I have something that shows:
    cpu0/1: xx% xx%
    Also, seeing RAM usage would help a lot. In conky it shows:
    mem: xx% (xxxMB)
    These are the ways I would like to have bash scripts show them, if possible, but I have zero skill in bash programming. I made this an option in case it's easier/cleaner/less resource hungry than a conky solution. Personally, if they're about the same in these aspects, I would prefer something with conky and the shell scripts because conky is so extensible, yet it's only flaw is executing scripts with minimal resource usage.
    Help?

    Thanks. I was thinking of using load average to save a few characters, but I didn't quite understand the numbers. I'll try that once I get to my Linux box, but could you please explain or post a link to something that explains load average (what's low, high, normal, etc.)?
    EDIT: I found a website that explains loadavg. I now have my dwm status bar displaying it perfectly (yay!). Now I just need to add a few more things like battery status, etc. and I might be done. I'll probably post here if I have more questions, though.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Conky-cli - awesome-client = no go?

    So, I've recently switched to Awesome from Xmonad (yes, it's MUCH easier to configure, unless you know haskell of course). Everything has gone fairly well except that I can't get conky-cli to work with the awesome-client statusbar.  I'm running the patched version of conky and I've followed the tutorials on the awesome website, but for whatever reason all that appears in the statusbar are dashes used as placeholders for the textboxes. I've tried this using the non-patched conky-cli, also unsuccessfully.
    I'm running awesome-git, which appears to be v2.3.rc1.25.g96fe2ec (Productivity Breaker).  The following are my sample configs (I've disabled the other conky stats until I know this is working):
    [thayer@dublin:~] $ cat .conkyrc
    background no
    no_buffers yes
    out_to_console yes
    update_interval 1
    uppercase no
    use_spacer none
    total_run_times 0
    TEXT
    0 widget_tell clock ${time %a %b %d %I:%M%P}
    Relevant portion of .awesomerc:
    statusbar bottom
    position = bottom
    width = 0
    height = 0
    textbox clock { align = "right" text = "-" }
    If I run conky on its own, it spits out the expected text:
    [thayer@dublin:~] $ conky
    0 widget_tell clock Wed Apr 16 08:04pm
    And my .xinitrc file:
    conky | awesome-client &
    urxvt &
    exec awesome

    That should get conky to work, if it doesn't work try starting conky without piping to awesome-client in .xinitrc.
    I have conky running here with awesome-git for the same reasons you mentioned, but I will take a look at amazing this weekend.
    Hope that solves your issue.
    Thanks omega, I had actually tried that syntax before, but it didn't work for me.   BUT... since you mentioned that it DOES work for you, I decided to poke around a bit more and I figured out that if I add 'text' as well as the statusbar name it works fine:
    0 widget_tell bottom mpd text $mpd_smart
    0 widget_tell bottom spacer1 text ::
    0 widget_tell bottom cpuload text ${cpu cpu1}% / ${cpu cpu2}% ${loadavg 1} ${loadavg 2 3}
    0 widget_tell bottom spacer2 text ::
    0 widget_tell bottom cputemp text ${i8k_cpu_temp}c ${freq_g 1}/${freq_g 2}GHz
    0 widget_tell bottom spacer3 text ::
    0 widget_tell bottom memory text $memperc% ($mem)
    0 widget_tell bottom spacer4 text ::
    0 widget_tell bottom power text ${if_empty ${exec awk '{print $2}' /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state | grep 'on-line'}}${else}${endif}$battery $battery_time

    0 widget_tell bottom spacer6 text ::

  • Getting xmonad, dzen and conky to go hand in hand...

    Hello

    xmonad $ defaultConfig {
    terminal = "terminal --hide-menubar",
    borderWidth = 2,
    normalBorderColor = "#000000",
    focusedBorderColor = "#0071FF",

    ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot") ,
    ((mod1Mask, xK_F2), spawn "gmrun")
    As you can see I am running dzen straigth out of the xmonad config, the reason I need to do that is the status stuff for xmonad. And now I want to add conky stuff to it. The only way I found(or to honest a friend of mine sort of) was to add the line ppExtra which uses logcmd to run conky.
    The solution was great exept, I wasn't able to adjust where I wanted the conky on my dzen bar it was just placed right beside the status stuff in the dzen since conky couldn't decide itself where to be. The solution on the wiki wount work for me since I have the status stuff on dzen.
    So any suggestions?

    I've spent quite some time doing the exactly same thing as you're trying to achieve (I believe). My dzen bar(s) look like this:
    In order to achieve that I'm running two instances of dzen. One for the workspaces and title, and one for date/cpu load/ram etc. (which is sent directly from conky-cli). Both instances are started by xmonad using spawnPipe (configured in xmonad.hs.). I haven't added much comments to my xmonad.hs, but hopefully you'll figure it out

    I addition to this you'll have to configure your ~/.conkyrc file, but this is done very easily.
    Btw, to configure the position of the dzen bar and what's displayed in dzen, read the dzen2 man.

  • Ratpoison: Problems with windows autoscaling and conky statusbar

    Hi all!
    I am newbie with ratpoison and yesterday made fresh installation. Everyting else did well expect window autoscaling and conky + dzen2 statusbar. 
    What I did:
    I followed those steps from archwiki for setting up dzen: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dzen
    my .conkyrc looks like a same as in the wiki:
    background no
    out_to_console yes
    out_to_x no
    update_interval 1.0
    total_run_times 0
    use_spacer none
    TEXT
    ^fg(\#ff0000)${loadavg 1 2 3} ^fg()${time %a %b %d %I:%M%P}
    my .xinitrc looks like:
    #!/bin/bash
    FG='#aaaaaa'
    BG='#1a1a1a'
    FONT='-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'

    definekey top M-h exec ratpoison -c "select -" -c "gnext" -c "next"
    definekey top M-j next
    definekey top M-k prev
    So I did 16 pixels hole for the conky statusbar. Still I cannot see anything on the top of screen. (Just empty hole)
    Problem with windows autoscaling is that it doesn't fullfill whole screen. I can also see two additional small holes at the bottom and right side of screen (eventhought I didn't made those by the config). Strange isn't it?
    I put my print screen, hope it tells more about the problem:
    What I should to do text? Edit some files, but I dunno which one and how?
    I appreciate your help.
    Cheers!

    About the small holes, see "Why is there a small gap between my terminal and the edge of the screen?" in the ratpoison FAQ.
    I'm not sure about your dzen/conky problem, maybe you need to "unmanage" its window? See the ratpoison documentation.
    That fixed autoscaling issue. Thx a lot!
    Any ideas, what is wrong with dzen+conky bar? I quickly read ratpoison manual and didn't find any help for this problem.

  • Gmail/Exchange email and calendar syncing issues

    I have wiped my email accounts several times and entered in my data in the various ways as shown through the forums but my email accounts do no sync properly whether it is manual or active synced.
    I read my emails in my gmail and my Microsoft exchange account and will delete or file them away but then when I check my accounts on my desktop, they are not synced as I've done so on my phone. I've also noticed that my calendars are not synced correctly either.
    Could someone help me understand why and how these issues can be fixed? I'm in meetings for most of the day so I rely on my phone to keep me mobile. Was this a bad purchase?!?!

    Hi JadeyMU,
    How do you have your Microsoft Exchange account configured on your BlackBerry Z10? Are you using ActiveSync, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), IMAP or POP?
    Thanks.

  • My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues

    I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue.  All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues.  I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues.  Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad.  Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
    I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase).  After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it.  I waited for a Technician.  They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product).  It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had.  So, they have swapped it for a new box.  Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store.  I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
    1.  The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
    2.  Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth.  I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
    3.  They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals.  On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time.  Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
    Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software.  It worked fine and have tested all of the options.  From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
    Will wait to see....if it continues to work....

    I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

  • Interesting and an  imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.

    hi all,
    interesting and an  imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.
    i created a sales order with 10 qty.and the system proposed a two schedule lines.
    let's say to order created date is 27.11.2008.and the requested delivery date is 27.11.2008.
    but the stock is not available today then the system proposed two more schedule lines apart from the 27.11.2008.so now there are three schedule lines like below.
    schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date                   
    27.10.2008 with zero quantity.     
    28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                28.10.2008                     29.10.2008
    02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                02.10.2008                     03.10.2008
    now the delivery and pgi already for the schedule line 28.10.2008.
    then when i run the availability check on 01.11.2008 system is over writing the material vailability date as today at the scheduleline number two.
    now i can able to view only two schedule lines only.
    schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date                   
    28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     29.10.2008
    02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     02.11.2008
    now my concern when we reschedule the avalability check it should notchange the Material availability date of the schedule line which i already delivered.
    Regards,

    I downloaded CS6 and am having issues with my print driver. It is not compatible with the HP 2600n and have tried to download drivers given to me by adobe ( (Jupiter 3) but it is not working. after a few days. Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
    Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue

    I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
    Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report.  How can I determine the last page?  I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number.  Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property.  But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
    Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer.  The report includes this page in the total number of pages.  For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2.  Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer.  No page header or page footer prints. 
    Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated.  To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.

    To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
    To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
    Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
    - in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
    - try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
    - try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
    Best regards
