//Changing own_window_type to root, and adding own_window_hints undecorate,sticky seems to work!

I was going to suggest adding
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
but I see that you've already solved it.
With own_window_hints, you should be able to leave own_window_type as "desktop".

The own_window section in .conkyrc is:
James wrote:#own window to run simultanious 2 or more conkys
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

I have changed own_window_type desktop to own_window_type root
and now conky is working correctly

own_window_type override bypasses own_window_hints that's why conky is above the windows, however i'm not sure how to get both desired effects with nautilus. I have actually never ran conky in gnome. I'll do some research, does anyone else have an idea?
own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
If own_window is yes, you may use these window manager hints to affect the way Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement many of these hints implicitly. If you use own_window_type override, window manager hints have no meaning and are ignored.
own_window_type
if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.
You could try own_window_type desktop but im not sure if it will minimize again.

Conky disappears from desktop at click

Hi
Using xfce4, when running conky, if I click on the desktop ( on a icon or simply on the desktop ),
conky disappears... but it is still running.
BTW if I click on conky itself ( on its window ) it stays on. If i click on the panels, it stays on too.
Strange...Any idea?
Serge

Try setting own_window_type to override. Also, when asking configuration questions, always post the file in question when possible.

[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.

(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] Conky question

Is there a way to show the gateway address in the conkyrc file just like you can with an eth0 address?
Last edited by tyndallc (2010-03-11 21:35:59)

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

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

[Solved]Conky says it's 3 hours in the future...

I'm using a straight up OpenBox desktop and I have been fiddling with conky for a little while. For some reason (and yes, I did a locale-gen, and checked to see that my timezone was set to US/Eastern in rc.conf) Conky, and only Conky, seems to think it is currently 5 pm, when it is just 2 pm.

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 disappears

my conky seems to disappear every few minutes which seems to correspond to when it runs either the gmail or weather script that I use. Conky reappears when gmail or weather is checked. Is there any solution to this?

It is a problem with refreshing information when a script is running inside conky.
If the running script takes long to return the data conky freezes while waiting for the data. I've seen it with a script I wrote and the only solution I had was to have my program fetch the data first and then update conky. You may not have such option, since you do not control the GMail application.

[ SOLVED ] Network disappears after a few reboots

I have tried to install Arch twice and both times after rebooting it several times network connection disappears ( i.e., daemon starts ok, but no connection is preset ).
By looking at the error.log, it seems that dhcpcd fails to obtain requested IP address ( nothing specified in rc.conf ).
Is there anything I might be missing or it is a know problem ( saw the same question somewhere else ) ?

intrusion0: OK
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';
temp1: +33.0°C (low = -5.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
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.

[SOLVED] Conky troubles with Gnome

I don't know if I am making some obvious, easily correctable mistake, or if this is a known bug. I have looked on the wiki and all I could find about Conky on Gnome was a short little thing that caused this problem:

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.
