[Solved] Conky - On Top

Is it possible to set up conky to be on top of every other application that is running like this?
I tried many scripts, but when I opened firefox, everything was covered with it's window.
Thank's.

[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.

[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:

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.

[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 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, LM-sensors and hwmon

Hi,
I used the guide found at the forum thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43397 (post #4) to get my GPU and CPU temperature shown in conky by using LM-sensors. It all works fine, except for a single little error...
My conky-setup for the temperatures says
${color lightgrey} GPU: $color${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C ${color lightgrey}CPU Core 0: $color${hwmon 1 temp 1}°C ${color lightgrey}CPU Core 1: $color${hwmon 2 temp 1}°C
but when showing in conky, the "°C" part becomes "Å°C"??
Can anyone see why this happens? I've attached my whole .conkyrc below:

It didn't work - but I might have to say - my locale is danish (in my locale.gen I have the two lines "da_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8" and "da_DK ISO-8859-1" uncommented)..
Does this make any difference?

[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
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".

[SOLVED]Conky cutting words off

I've been working to set up conky on my Arch + Openbox installation, and I've run into a strange issue - conky is getting cut off at the end. See this picture, at far top-right - the seconds are cut off.
I've tried adding various options, such as
text_buffer_size 512
but nothing I can find seems to fix it.
My .conkyrc
Anyone know how/if I can fix this?
Last edited by DaimyoKirby (2013-11-10 16:00:11)

Have you tried explicitly setting a width this way? You don't state what screen res you currently use - so adjust as necessary
# width height
minimum_size 1584 120
# width
maximum_width 1584
It can help to leave a 1px border on your conky frame while building it to help debug this sort of thing as you can see where the otherwise transparent frame actually ends

(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....

Interestingly enough, instead of fixing the problem, It aligns it with the middle left corner. So half is now off the screen.

*cough* Let me guess...Someone on the Ubuntu forums said you should ask the guys on the Arch forums, right?
Anyway, this sentence I don't understand very well.
I am trying to make it align in middle_right, but it's always above the middle line due to the gap.
Well I posted here because it seems to have more support on conky
Anyways I meant like due to the gap on the bottom, it doesn't vertically align properly; it looks like bottom part has more gap than top part. I am trying to align it middle vertically.

Conky and top reporting differently

Here are some screen caps of conky and terminal running top command. The part I am interested in is the processes, one says 85 while the other says 105?
I question this because when I had gnome-system-monitor installed it would always show gnome-keyring-daemon as being open multiple times when I would logout and log back in. But, a fresh reboot would fix the issue.
what exactly is going on? How can I keep uninstalling things and when I reboot my processes in conky keep going up and up?
I am now running xfce and trying to rid myself of things I don't need like gnome based programs. The only thing stopping me from ridding myself of this gnome-keyring is GDM? But what login manager would I use if I don't use GDM, Any suggestions?
How do I post pictures?

I use Xfce and Slim. Search the wiki for slim.

[SOLVED] Conky question

Is there a way to show the gateway address in the conkyrc file just like you can with an eth0 address?

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