[Solved] Conky, Borders and AwesomeWM

Just wondering if it possible to remove the outline border of Conky on AwesomeWM. I got rid of the shadowing around it due to compton by doing the following:
compton --config ~/.compton.conf --shadow-exclude 'n:a:Conky' -b &
But no matter what I did I still get the border around Conky.
Here is compton configuration file.

And here is my conky config file.

Still struggling to get it removed. Here is a screenshot also.

It's been a really long time since I used conky so this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but you could try:
1. Set own_window_type to either "desktop" or "override" in your .conkyrc
2. Create a rule for conky in awesome's rc.lua that sets the property, border_width = 0

[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:
--2008-10-03 09:28:50-- https://<username>:*password*@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom

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:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Switch;
use Text::Wrap;
my $what=$ARGV[0];
$user="<username>"; #username for gmail account
$pass="<password>"; #password for gmail account
$file="/tmp/gmail.html"; #temporary file to store gmail
#wrap format for subject
$Text::Wrap::columns=65; #Number of columns to wrap subject at
$initial_tab=""; #Tab for first line of subject
$subsequent_tab="\t"; #tab for wrapped lines
$quote="\""; #put quotes around subject
#limit the number of emails to be displayed
$emails=4; #if -1 display all emails
&passwd; #give password the proper url character encoding
switch($what){ #determine what the user wants
case "n" {&gmail; print "$new\n";} #print number of new emails
case "s" { #print $from and $subj for new email
&gmail;
if ($new>0){
my $size=@from;
if ($emails!=-1 && $size>$emails){$size=$emails;} #limit number of emails displayed
for(my $i=0; $i<$size; ++$i){

$text=$quote.$subj[$i].$quote."\n";
print wrap($initial_tab, $subsequent_tab, $text); #print subject with word wrap
$size=@from;
if ($emails!=-1 && $size >$emails){print "$emails out of $size new emails displayed\n";}
case "e" { #print number of new emails, $from, and $subj
&gmail;
if($new==0){print "You have no new emails.\n";}
else{
print "You have $new new email(s).\n";
my $size=@from;

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.)

I've been fiddling with the border / colour options, for the last few hours, and I just can't get the border to disappear, which is starting to make me think that best I can do is make the border be a gradient like my background, unfortunately, I can't seem to get that to work

Has anyone else discovered a way to make conky work transparently with Gnome as a DE?
Thanks for the help!

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.

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`

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!

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option? I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted). They called it "noborders." Since I had to reinstall, it went away. Help?
I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

Try this site: CSS Border
Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
examples: border: 0px solid black;
or
border: 1px 000000;
or
     border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
     border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
     border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
     border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
addin for Excel 2010.
Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
running on the same PC or any other environment.
After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
(where it was installed)
into :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
(where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
then the problem goes away.
This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
Thanks,
Andy

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

*1. I wanna know how to move all the images or shapes all together (e.g i drew a rounded rectangle shape inside another rounded rectangle and added text to it!) i'd like to move it all at once!*
*2. If you noticed when ever you use word and wanted the documents to have borders and shades, they are all there but i cant seem to find this feature in pages 08 (is this feature present?). what I'm trying to do is change or add how the borders and shades look.*

Select the different objects then

Insert a rectangular shape.
Go to Inspector > Graphic
define the fill color
Stroke > Picure Frame
adjust the width and the color
Arrange > Send object to the background
From time to time, it's useful to look in the Help or in the PDF Users Guide.

From Word DOC to Acrobat PDF... borders and lines get screwed up.

I've been looking this up for days now and have yet to find a solution.
I have a MS Word document that has a bunch of tables with borders and sometimes just text with borders for stylistic reasons. In Word, it all looks perfect.
But, when I convert it to PDF using Acrobat, many of those borders get screwed up in various random ways.
Sometimes certain borders get thicker, sometimes thinner, sometimes invisible altogether. Sometimes it's only certain lines of the same border (just the left side, or just the top). I see no real pattern to what's causing it to only happen in certain cases only.
What makes it extra annoying is that if I zoom in or out a certain amount, the borders will look the way they are supposed to look. Some will look perfect at 100% zoom only, and some will look perfect at 75% zoom only.
This has been driving me insane. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Converting Word (table) to pdf - lines screwed up - googled as far back as 2004.

Trying to convert any word doc with tables (& shading) to PDF
- basic table, black borders throughout
- shaded headings, black outline border
- shaded subheadings, black outline border
However when convert to PDF:
- 'displays' NO top cell border for some/all shaded rows
- shows diff thickness lines
- each conversion, diff lines missing/incorrectly sized
- however converted pdf prints perfectly fine
Adobe know about the bug, per PRMW's (Paul's) post on 2009-07-15 15:44:34, however only offered a painful time consuming workaround using non-freeware Adobe Pro:

- "It is not feasable to edit 200+ tables in the PDF every time the PDF is generated, as we maintain the original in word.
- "This complete issue seems to have been passed off by Adobe as no problem and that there is a work around. I consider this an unsatisfactory response from a major product supplier.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.

[SOLVED] conky RAM monitor problem

Hey, wasup guys.
I just have 1 question I hope you can answer. I have the basic conky installed and it only shows 3GB (2.95 GiB) of RAM while there's actually 4x1 GB rams in the computer. So basically I'd like to see if one of them is actually not being detected... I have a pretty light install (still working on seting up various system tools) so I dont know where to look :D
ty for your time

I recommend check bios first see if all 4 gb shows, if yes then ask other questions like are you running 32 bit in which case not all 4 gb would be available, and/or do you have onboard graphics using some of the memory. For 32bit aswell if your discrete graphics has its own 1gb memory, the system can only address 3gb of the sysytem ram.
