[SOLVED]Conky and the phantom CPU

So I am running Conky with Fluxbox on a laptop with a duel core CPU. Playing around with Conkys different output and variables trying to get a set up I liked. I notice I was able to monitor three CPUs when there should only be two. I can't seem to find any documentation on why this would be. All output different numbers is it possible one is the sum of each core added together? I also noted that if I add ${cpu cpu3} to the code below it does not show a fourth or more CPUs.
${color}CPU: ${cpu cpu0}%
${color}CPU: ${cpu cpu1}%
${color}CPU: ${cpu cpu2}%
If someone could shed some light on this for me and maybe let me know which ones I should be using it would be greatly appreciated.

The conky man page has the information you need, and so does the online conky documentation: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html
man conky
cpu (cpuN)
CPU usage in percents. For SMP machines, the CPU number can be provided as an argument. ${cpu cpu0} is the total usage, and ${cpu cpuX} (X >= 1) are individual CPUs.

[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 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....

[SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

I've done everything in the article, and I have no unofficial packages.
However, I do use zsh as my shell, so I thought I might as well ask before doing anything:
Blog wrote:# pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
# pacman -S bash
# pacman -Su
Should I replace bash with zsh here? I do have both bash and zsh installed.
EDIT: I did indeed forget to mount /boot. After doing that the update worked perfectly.
Last edited by graph (2013-06-03 19:23:37)

Alright, I have one working shell. I have no Ignores but I do have
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
in /etc/pacman.conf - Could this be the culprit?
Also, here are the (missing) output of the commands from the article. I'm quite interested in knowing whether all my autofs-partitions are mounted, which I believe they are.

[SOLVED] Conky and RSS feeds

I'm trying to get rss feed to conky from cnn.com. I have tried:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss feed_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_titles 10}
But I always get "Conky: Error Processing RSS data" I've tried other feed and they work, but I don't think they used *.rss, it was *.xml How do I need to fix this to work?
Thanks in advance

I tried the link and didn't work until I found out the actual problem . I have to define the update interval even though there's a default update interval, so this worked:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss 15 item_titles 10}
or
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.xml 15 item_titles 10 } works too.

[SOLVED] XTerm and the Terminus font

I having difficulty getting the Terminus font to display correctly in xterm.
In .Xresources;
When I use "xterm*faceName:Terminus:style=Regular:size=10" I get missing characters, like the curly quotes in man pages. This line is from the wiki.
When I use "xterm*font:-*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" there are no missing characters (that I've found). However, the display output (like paging a text file, for example) is much slower. Too slow, so I go back to the missing characters config.
One other issue I've noticed, which may be related. When I use the control-mousebutton menus, they display very slowly taking 2 or 3 seconds to draw. This happens even without loading my .Xresources file.
Also note I'm using fontconfig-infinality-ultimate.
My complete .Xresources file:
xterm*Background:black
xterm*Foreground:white
xterm*cursorColor:green
!xterm*pointerShape:arrow
!xterm*pointerColor:blue

Switching to rxvt-unicode (plus rxvt-unicode-terminfo) fixed my problem with speed and missing Terminus characters. I'm using the setting:
URxvt*font:xft:Terminus:pixelsize=14
The part that I don't understand is, if I specify my font as follows I get all the characters but slow display:
URxvt*font:-*-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
You commented that this flavor (the XLFD form) is slow with both xterm and urxvt.
As I noted, the problem is in how the server handles the fonts.
urxvt's equivalent to xterm's "-fa" option is a feature introduced by konsole (a "xft:" prefix on the string).
Actually you don't get "all" of the characters. To see this, use xfd. The 10646 encoding appears to be the
original terminus (a small set of 256 characters) with a few others added. But most of the 0-65535 range is
filled with a filler-character.

[SOLVED] Dropbox and the fluxbox Slit

I have a minor problem concerning the Dropbox icon in the Slit.
I'm currently starting Dropbox by using the dropboxd-userspace daemon, but it doesn't create an icon in the Slit of fluxbox (although it's confirmed to be running). In order to get it to create an icon in the Slit I have to manually (re)start the dropboxd-userspace daemon.
So, how do I get it to automatically add an icon to the Slit?
Also, is it possible to get a list of the wiki articles not translated to a certain language? I'm planning on translating them into my native language (Swedish) but a list of the untranslated articles would help to make sure that I don't miss any crucial articles.
Last edited by snufkin (2011-06-22 01:10:30)

By slit you mean notification area?
Myself I start Dropbox by running dropboxd and nothing else. I guess you could just put it in your .xinitrc and have it startup autmatically with Fluxbox.

[SOLVED] bc and the decimal point

Hello,
I've been trying out bc today and I've come across something:
If, for example, I try and calculate 1/10 in bc (whilst setting scale to, say, 5), I'll get .10000. Is there some way to always display the number to the left of the decimal point, even if it's a zero (i.e. 0.10000)? 5/2 will get 2.50000, which makes sense.
Thanks for your help.

I did something quite similar, but using a bash script to concatene a '0' in front of the decimal place. I just thought there was a simple variable to set that I'd missed but I guess not. I wonder what the design purpose of missing out the 0 on the left hand side of a decimal place is.

Good question, thank you for asking
LFS -> FreeBSD : Because once you have done an LFS and you learnt so much there is nothing fun anymore in day to day life. However you feel strong enought to use a more confidential OS and that lead me to FreeBSD.
FreeBSD -> Gentoo : At that time I had a Zaurus and a Palm and other exotic devices. FreeBSD was great, but I missed some hardware support. However I was very satisfied witht he OS. So I chose Gentoo, which is quiet close to FreeBSD spirit (so is Arch), but benefit from Linux's bigger driver set.
Gentoo -> Kubuntu : After having spent hours, days and months recompiling the world, and finding out that my PC was not so fast I was fed up with configuring things. I wanted a distro which just works. I fell into Kubuntu arms, like a kid into his mother arms after he did something bad.
After a few months I discovered that the "it just works" principle is a lie. It is a lie for MS Windows, for Mac OS ... and for Ubuntu. Things never "just works". And when the time has come to fix and/or trick things, it is a real pain with those distros or other OS which claim that they "just work".
So I choosed the distro which make you understand what is going on, and make configuration tasks easy whithout having to rebuild the world with thousands of command line tools for day to day maintenance. This distro you know it well ... it is Archlinux

[SOLVED] Fonts And The Linux Console

I love the Tamsyn font, which I have been using in X, but I was wondering if this font can be used in the framebuffer console as well. Is this possible or is Tamsyn in a format that won't work for the console?
Thanks in advance.

Sweet. And can the font be anywhere? Right now, I keep Tamsyn in my home directory and use "xset fp+" to add the font to X.

The transaction-config and the Phantom XML File

I'm upgrading from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3, and there are some configuration changes that I can't find documentation for. My configuration is semi-complex, so I started by just using our current configuration files, and moved on from there.
I get the following error on startup.
06/04/26 11:10:32 Error initializing server: Unknown deployment tag in /u01/home/weblogic/lrs/server/application-deployments/orion-application.xml: <transaction-config>
06/04/26 11:10:32 Fatal error: server exiting
OK. That seems pretty easy on the surface. I need to pull the <transaction-config> element out of that file, right?
So here's my problem.
$ ls -l /u01/home/weblogic/lrs/server/application-deployments/orion-application.xml
ls: /u01/home/weblogic/lrs/server/application-deployments/orion-application.xml: No such file or directory
How is OC4J able to determine I have a bad configuration element in a file that doesn't exist? Where is this coming from?
Clues for the clueless?
Thanks!

Actually, 'NOTIFICATION:32' also means 'FINEST' in the case of non-odl logging, which is called text logging in the related oracle documention.

Phantom CPU activity

Hi, Hope you can help!
MBP, 10.6.8 fully updated software.
Noticed the machine was running a little hot and battery life was down. Closed all programs and checked activiy monitor: CPU idle has a minimum vlaue of about 98% but every few seconds takes an excursion down to 48% were it remains for a few seconds before recovering briefly to 98%. Looking at the list of CPU usage by process, I see that activity monitor is using about 2% but nothing else. Even when the CPU idle is 48%, nothing is appearing on the list as using any cpu. Meanwhile the computer is running hot with audible fan activity.
Console messages don't show any obvious explanation. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, X423424X came closest to the mark... I forgot about starting in safe mode. I believe it forces a directory check, and I don't know what this means exactly, but I have found it to cure problems in the past. In this case, the laptop began running cool again after starting in safe mode.
However, I still have the phantom CPU activity: ie. the activity monitor shows only 49% CPU idle, but nothing in the list appears to acount for the missing 51% of the CPU capacity, see attached images below.
It is noteworthy that when I boot off the Lion partition this problem is even worse, and the excursions down to low idle values are more frequent and last much longer.

[Solved]conky autostart link using kdemod4.3x

I followed the arch wiki to install conky and the config works fine. The wiki says to autostart conky $ ln -s usr/bin/conky ~/.kde/share/autostart/conkylink. But I have .kdemod4 not .kde in my home directory. Trying the above link with ''.kdemod4" instead of ".kde" gave creating link /home/user/ ~/.kdemod4/share/autostart/conkylink "no such file or directory"
Looking at ~/.kdemod4>ls -aF shows ./ ../ Autostart/ cache-myhost@ share/ socket-myhost@ tmp-myhost@. Autostart is an empty dir. $ cd share shows apps/ config/ and kde4/ .
How do I create the correct conky link using kdemod4.3 to autostart conky? Or how to do same with SystemSettings > Advanced.>Autostart in KDE . Thanx:)

Following another thread by 'pencuse' on 2008-05-12 under Desktop Environments suggested cd to ~/kdemod4/Autostart then ln -s /usr/bin/conky conky. Now @conky shows under ~/kdemod4/Autostart:).

Pull list for the component of the phantom assembly

Hi
I am in rem process. while doing the pull list for the fianl product using Entry with bom explosion.
i did not get the components (level 3)for 1 assembly(level 2 ) which is phantom one under the final product (level 1) BOM.
i also maintained the production stor loc for the components and the phantom assmy.
i check the stock in the production storage location . no stock is there in the location.
what is the problem . how to get the component of the phantom in the pull list.

Dear Raj,
If your FERT contains a HALB and inturn this HALB contains say HALB1 which is a phantom assembly
and and another 2 raw materials means,when you execute MF60 For HALB,you will get the 2 raw
materials along with the component's of phantom assembly.
Check and revert back.

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.

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.
