[Solved] Conky doesn't show network speed

Hello Archers!
I have my old conky config with net speed indication which worked in past but stopped working this installation. My user is in “network” group and I have
${font monospace:bold:size=10}NETWORK ${hr 2}
${font monospace:normal:size=10}Download: ${alignr}${downspeedf eth0} KB/s
Upload: ${alignr}${upspeedf eth0} KB/s
in my ~/.conkyrc file. It used to show speed in KB/s but now just zeros, all the time. What would be the reason for this malfunction?

Yeah, I know Arch maintainers don't accept criticism anymore. But mine wasn't even obvious and yet you pointed that out and called it “not the smartest thing to post here”. Totalitarian regime inside of a distro. Free speech is forbidden. Arch Linux, ladies and gentlemen!
Read the Etiquette. Your histrionics are as unfounded as your original slur. If you had even the slightest clue of what a totalitarian regime actually involved, you would be ashamed of yourself for that association.
Don't post here again unless you are prepared to accept responsibility for your own incompetence.

[SOLVED]lm_sensors doesn't show fan speed (or much else)

I'm going to start with a bit of code to illustrate the context
$ sudo sensors-detect
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue: yes
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
$ sudo sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +63.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +63.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +62.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +62.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +55.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Now, I was under the impression that Fan speed should be being displayed, along with other things. Am I missing a kernel module of some kind? I feel like it is an incorrect setup of mine. I can't find anything on the wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/lm_sensors or in the forums, but I feel like I'm missing something.
I do not want to add a dangerous kernel parameter but can't figure out what my motherboard is (or how to add the asus_atk0110 driver to my kernel configuration) from the suggestion here http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chap … rnel2.6.31
EDIT: turns out the motherboard is W35xSTQ_370ST by SEAGATE. I don't however know how to use this knowledge to figure out if I should be loading any other kernel modules or what sensors are available, e.t.c.
Thanks in advance.

Most likely your hardware doesn't provide more information. I've seen this mostly in laptops. This is from my Acer:

Finder doesn't show network computer "Shared" in sidebar

I update 10.5.3 (05.28.08) and the Finder doesn't show all network computers at "SHARED" in sidebar except Windows PCs. I rebooted and seems fixed it.
now I can see all connected computers as 10.5.2,
but when I try to open a file from apps [command+o] (whatever apps is, I tried many as I can to check), again only shows PCs.
so I cannot access directly a file in other Mac on the network.
I tried put ~/Lib*/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist in the trash once, log out/in.
still only PCs and of course deleted all personal shortcut icons are gone. so I replace it from trash can.
log out/in. then again now only PCs..... rebooted .....
any idea to fix it?
thanks

After adding a couple of macs to my network, I had the same problem. Part of the issue was turning on file sharing as suggested, but I also had issues with the firewall settings on the MAC. I had my firewall set only allow essential services because I didn't want to leave it open to all connections. I changed the setting to set access for specific services and applications. I added nmdb, configd, mDNSResponder, krb5kdc. These live in /usr/sbin.
Since making those changes, this problem seems to have stabilized and things are working as they should.
Hope this helps.

Downloads window is blank, shows file name but doesn't show up speed, percentage of download etc.

When I start downloading something, the Downloads window opens normally & also shows what is being downloaded. But, it doesn't show downloading percentage, downloading speed. (all things which usually show up below the name of file). But when minimized, I can see percentage.

Worked for me too. options->options->privacy->remember download history

[SOLVED] akregator doesn't show images in the preview pane

I have three different PCs with Arch and kdemod-legacy (that is, kde 3.5.9) and on all of them I use akregator (a RSS/Atom feed reader).
One of the feed I subscribed is from an image board: when new images are uploaded to the site, I'm notified and clicking on the link in the articles section of akregator I can see in the lower pane a thumbnail of the image.
However this doesn't happen on my third pc: I *suppose* the installed applications and libraries are the same between all the machines, and the akregator options seems to be same as well.
Does anybody have an idea about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for your reply.
Daren wrote:do you have the option set to load the full article in the pane?
Without this, it just displays an overview.
That's right - I don't use that option because it's usually unnecessary: the overview usually does show a thumbnail of the image, and I can avoid loading the entire page.
Anyway, I noticed that switching from RSS to Atom (for the same feed, I mean) solves the issue - so maybe it was related to the type of feed used.

Wicd Doesn't Show Networks

I just installed wicd, had it working and everything, and then after I restarted X and wicd, it said I wasn't connected. The internet still worked, though; firefox was fine and I was torrenting at about 60 Kbps. Then, after a reboot, the whole thing went. Also, hal failed during the boot process, but I don't see why -- the only changes I made to DAEMONS was adding wicd and removing networkmanager/dhcpdbd, as per the wiki. Here's my rc.conf:

Figured it out. For anyone else switching from networkmanager to wicd, make you don't uninstall wireless_tools when you remove networkmanager (or reinstall it if you do).

This is unrelated and I emailed the author of conkyforecast about the issue.
/usr/bin/conkyforecast
change
$PYTHONPATH /usr/bin/python /usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyForecast.py "$@"
to
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyForecast.py "$@"
PYTHONPATH is used incorrectly in this case. It is used to reference python modules (which the openoffice pkg is now doing).

The 32-bit version of illustrator does show the network locations.

[SOLVED] Thunar doesn't show external volumes anymore

In my post I referred to the problem of digiKam v.1.1.0 not autorotating images correctly anymore when it's downloading and processing them from the camera, whereas v. 1.0.0 did so correctly (without to my knowledge having any Kipi plugins installed). I.e. v.1.1.0 is configured to autorotate but it doesn't really do it; it doesn't rewrite the EXIF orientation tag. It does display portrait images correctly in its own viewer (and so does Gwenview) but the other programs don't when they access these images in the album directory. They show the wrong orientation but none of them, Gwenview included, has any problem in allowing me to manually rotate the image to the correct orientation that can then be passed on e.g. to Thunderbird.
Of course, I could process all the images taken in portrait orientation manually, e.g. in GIMP, but why do so when digiKam 1.0.0 and earlier used to do it automatically. Besides, the image rotation in digiKam is supposed to be lossless which may not be true if I use other programs.
Again, a short summary: portrait image from camera downloaded with digiKam -> displayed correctly in digiKam (and Gwenview) but not really rotated according to EXIM tags -> can be rotated further (another 90 deg) and saved in digiKam or Gwenview and can then be displayed correctly in GIMP, Firefox and Thunderbird but would not be correctly displayed anymore in digiKam and Gwenview.
I haven't figured out how to rotate images in Gwenview from the CLI, hence can't produce any error messages.
Sorry to be so verbose again.

That's a known bug in Sonata, it has been fixed in svn so you can either checkout the svn version or wait for the next release (should come soon I think).
Or, you could edit the file manually and add the following line above "if filename == self.musicdir + songdir + "/" + self.single_img_in_dir:":
songdir = os.path.dirname(self.songinfo.file)
so it ends up like this:
if self.single_img_in_dir and self.songinfo:
songdir = os.path.dirname(self.songinfo.file)
if filename == self.musicdir + songdir + "/" + self.single_img_in_dir:
return True
