[SOLVED] conky + amarok 2 + xfce

Hello!
Is there is a way to make conky work with Amarok 2 in Xfce. Scripts for Amarok are using DCOP, but as far as I know, DCOP is working with kde3. So I am looking for a way to enable DCOP in Xfce, either to make Amarok working with Conky in some different way.
Thanks in advance!

i just did a quick search and found this.

I don't know if it answers your question, but it looks like you can use qdbus to get that information for conky.

[Solved]Conky and word wrapping - Is there a way?

So I have a very limited area to work with, something like 176x360 (+/- a few pixels), and I want the ability to show an RSS feed. Well, the feed works of course, but due to the limited width, I'm in great need of word wrapping, and for that problem I have found no solution and going on for 2-3 hours straight, my head hurts
Anyway, here's my .conkyrc, not that it's needed of course.

I know this looks confusing and probably is full of critical error, but that simple because I'm a conky noob. I basically just downloaded a profile I liked and completely changed it over the course of a few hours.
Anyway, I'm rambling again, but if you've got any idea's, please do let me know.
Best regards.

Okay, so I've found sort of a solution to part of the problem, so what I have so far look like this:
wget -quiet -O - archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | fmt -w 25 -g 25
It works as long as there are no words longer than 25 character, which I should think is rare, even including package names and such.
However there's still the issue parsing the xml so I get only what I want:
<item><title>$content</title><link>
This may be solved using some sort of terminal rss parser, but I would rather prefer not to.
Then there's the issue with reloading.
My current conky is set to reload every second, but of course one can't just pull the feed every second and I'm not convinced that conky has any built in solution for that problem. Of course I can always start a cronjob and save it all to a file, but portability would be nice.
anyway, I'll return later.

[SOLVED]Conky Forecast problems

I upgraded OpenOffice yesterday and for some reason everytime I run Conky, this error message shows up
/usr/bin/conkyForecast: line 3: :/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/:/usr/lib/guake: No such file or directory
If anyone knows how to solve that problem, any help would be appreciated.

I was going to suggest adding

but I see that you've already solved it.
With own_window_hints, you should be able to leave own_window_type as "desktop".

(SOLVED) Conky and battery status

How come this will not work on my system:
${color red}$alignc Battery Information
${color lightgrey} Currently: $battery
${color lightgrey}$stippled_hr
I have tried a dozen scripts for battery status and nothing works. Does anyone have a sure fire way to get some status from my battery?
I am using a netbook, pretty standard stuff. I don't know why it won't work. I tried other commands and one returned "U" for unknown battery status and what not. How can I find out what is going on?
edit:
Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,70 BAT0}
This displays 0% and an empty bar.
I went ahead into /proc/acpi/battery and found BAT1 and no BAT0, so I changed the script and I get a percent now...
This may be solved, but I am going to try the other functions to see if I can get the output I wanted in the first place.
Why does Conky hate batteries?
Last edited by Google (2010-07-02 07:16:26)

"$battery" does not work because it assumes as default BAT0, which you don't have so it will have to be "$battery BAT1". See "man conky" for more info....

1. Conky has a manual. It is made of win and text.
2. If solved, mark thread as solved. Kthxbai.

The time code was originally {time %B %d. %Y | %I:%M:%S} I expanded it to see if it might have been the issue. It wasn't, so in the course of writing this post, I swapped it back.
Tint2 doesn't have this issue, but I feel that the time off to the side disrupts the look of the bar. I haven't tinkered with it enough to put the time in the center, between the two desktop bars, if it is even possible.
Ok.. I just double checked myself to make sure that tint2 wasn't displaying incorrectly, and it is, so this is something other than just conky. Hmm... I did just reset my locale, maybe a restart would help. (That sounds like typical Windows advice!)
I will report back after the reboot.
BRB
Update:
Restart did not fix the issue. I do find this a little strange that my clock is telling me that I am sitting in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, and I have no way of resetting it.
Ok... easiest solve ever. I feel like an idiot.

Hmm. This could be a good thing. What does Conky say about the Dow Jones Industrial Average three hours from now? And I'd like to check back with you on Superbowl Sunday, if I may....
Dow 1.53% down. I am sure the Superbowl's scores will be coming in on schedule.
Thanks for the note about time sync'ing. I may just do that.

Conky on xfce and transparency

I couldn't get Conky to run on my xfce desktop. It would appear briefly at startup, then die.
Resetting the 'Transparency' options all the back to 'Opaque' resolved the problem for me.
(Menu --> Settings --> Window Mgr Tweaks --> Compositor)
Hope this helps someone else.
UPDATE: It helped for a while. After tweaking ~/.conkyrc the problem re-occurred. I even re-loaded the original .conkyrc and any simple tweak & save to it cause conky to stop and I must manually restart it.

My conkyrc is here:
http://pastebin.com/m506c40b2
Since my original post I have used delay script
#!/bin/bash
sleep 15
/usr/bin/conky
which causes it to start 15 seconds after xfce
... a real 'band-aid' approach, but helps.
At the moment, I just made a simple change to conkyrc (a font grey to yellow). There are now two conky sessions running.
I've tried various 'own_window ...' settings, here they are currently
own_window override
own_window_class Conky
own_window_type desktop
own_window_transparent yes
Thanks much.

Conky config line at the moment;
${execi 60 sensors | grep "temp1:"} °C
gives me;
The problem is that there are 3x'temp1' possibilities.
I want to display this 'temp1';

How do I set the cony config line to display this thermistor?

Thanks to some further input from the guys over at Archbang and some further research I found the solution (a) to remove the weird 'A' character;
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ut-solved/
So, in conky I had to change;
override_utf8_locale no
to
override_utf8_locale yes
And (b) just for reference, I now have two options for cpu temp;
CPU temp option1:$alignr${hwmon 4 temp 1}°C
CPU temp option2:$alignr${execi 10 sensors | grep ^temp1 | tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2}'}
Thanks for all the help everybody.

Thats because you keep exhibiting the same behaviours, despite being asked not to.
I'll link you (again) to the Forum Etiquette. Please read all of it.
Don't expect that help vampirism will be tolerated here, it won't.
I'll also remind you of the Arch Way
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and generously share the results with the community and development team – a "do first, then ask" philosophy.

[Solved]Conky causes desktop icons to dissappear

I decided to fool around with conky, since I saw the thread lower down in the forums. I kinda mashed some code together and I have a conky I like (though I cant get all the modules working...) but, activating conky causes my desktop icons to dissapear (and re-appear if I mouse over). It's my frist time actually using conky...so I might have messed up something in my (well, a mash of other's) code.

[SOLVED] Conky: After 2.6.37 update, conky no longer shows temperature

Well, the title is quite self-explanatory but I'd also like to add that:
I noticed that conky reads correct values and after exactly 3 refreshes it just displays 0, no matter how long is the update interval.
/sys/class/hwmon displays correct values, and 'acpi -t' also does too (they are always the same).
My conky config had $acpitemp before the update, and after the update I had to change it to ${hwmon 0 temp 1} because $acpitemp displayed no values whatsoever.

My final conclusion is that the problem is with conky itself, but this guy here managed to get it working:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111408
EDIT: After posting here I thought "why don't I take out all these X related options?" and finally did it after so much time. And it worked, but I dunno why.
I also tried your suggestion, litemov, but it didn't show anything at all (not even that 0), but thanks anyway

[SOLVED] conky-lua build fails due to toluapp package issues

I am trying to install conky-lua from AUR on 64 bit Arch and failing miserably.
When running the following:
yaourt -Sy conky-lua
I get the following error:

Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build conky-lua package.
I have read through what search results I can find on the topic (both here and via google) and have attempted to remedy the situation by adding build options to the toluapp build to provide for the conky-lua build. I have tried this by adding CCFLAGS = '-fPIC' to the scons call in the PKGBUILD file, I have also tried editing the config_linux.py file, which sits along side the main build file, to include the -fPIC switch also, which doesn't work either. i.e. I have this in the config_linux.py now:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
Which doesn't work, it results in:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
tolua++-1.0.93.tar.bz2 ... Passed
config_linux.py ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
Error: Makepkg was unable to build toluapp package.
Can someone help me through a build as I have never come across scons before and maybe I am providing directives to the toluapp build incorrectly? I am still thinking in "make" terms...
I NEED lua in conky
Thanks in advance

Kaivalagi

I was asked by email on what exactly I did to get conky-lua installed and working on 64bit Arch, so I thought I would post my reply below in case it is of help to anyone else. Cheers
Run "yaourt -S conky-lua". Amongst other things this will try to install a dependancy which you need to mess about with, the package you need to edit is "toluapp".
When the "toluapp" package is downloaded by yaourt answer y to the edit question and provide something like gedit or kate as the editor to use
You'll now see the PKGBUILD file in the editor, this doesn't need editing just yet. But if you open file from the editor you'll see the directory thie PKGBUILD is in, and you want to edit the config_linux.py file you'll see there.
You should see this line in the config_linux.py file:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall']
Change it so it is like this:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
Now, back to the PKGBUILD file, you'll see this line:
md5sums=('100aa6907b8108582080b37d79c0afd7' 'bab107cdd2d18d3453a2344341b77c45')
These checksums line up with tarball and config_linux.py files, and this will stop you're edit from working if not amended because the .py file isn't what it should be, we changed it. So run md5sum against the .py file and update the second checksum in the line appropriately.
Carry on with the package installation and conky should have lua support

[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:

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.)
