So where do I download the conky module?
Hi Ed
There are conky modules in the bundles section with custom made config files.
But I wanted to start fresh so I build my own conky-1.10.8-i586-bundle.xzm via USM.
content: -- (32 Bit but should also be available in 64 Bit x86_64 I think)
conky-1.10.8-i586-1ponce.txz
imlib2-1.5.1-i586-1ponce.txz
libid3tag-0.15.1b-i486-4.txz
lua-5.1.5-i486-1ponce.txz
tolua++-1.0.93-i586-1ponce.txz
This summs up to ~ 1.3MB - documentation included [/usr/doc/conky-1.10.8/html/]
what else do one need? - well,you need config files (conky.conf).
system: /etc/conky/conky.conf ## for now you can leave it as is (default - not nice)
user: /home/guest/.config/conky/conky.conf ## This one we will use / manipulate.
However, here is the one I use (for now)
Code: Select all
conky.config = {
background = true,
short_units = true,
-- Use double buffering (eliminates flickering)
double_buffer = true,
-- Update interval in seconds
update_interval = 1,
-- Number of samples to take for CPU and network readings
cpu_avg_samples = 1,
net_avg_samples = 1,
draw_graph_borders = true,
border_width = 2,
-- Use Xft (anti-aliased font and stuff)
use_xft = true,
font = 'DejaVu Sans:size=10',
xftalpha = 1.0,
-- Prevent text from moving around while using a mono font
use_spacer = 'right',
-- Default color and border settings
default_color = 'white',
default_shade_color = 'white',
default_outline_color = 'white',
color1 = 'F494B9',
color2 = '5599cc',
color3 = '77ccff',
color4 = '2DF22D',
draw_shades = false,
draw_outline = false,
draw_borders = false,
own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
-- Window size and position
minimum_width = 130,
minimum_height = 200,
maximum_width = 130,
alignment = 'top_right',
gap_x = 25,
gap_y = 60,
}
conky.text = [[
${alignc}${color3}${font DejaVu Sans:bold:size=10}Uptime:${color} $uptime_short ${font}
RAM:${alignr}$mem/ $memmax
CPU-freq:${alignr}${freq}

${if_up eth0}eth0 up: $alignr ${upspeed eth0}
${upspeedgraph eth0 5599cc 5599cc}
eth0 down: $alignr ${downspeed eth0}
${downspeedgraph eth0 5599cc 5599cc}${endif}

]]
Note:
to get started you can use this file as a Template.
be aware that wifi is not included in this file you have to add it yourself (easy)
and it is monitoring my porteus USB Thumb-drive (sdb).You surely want to change this.
Open the file in a text editor, change something, press ctrl+s and the result is
instantly shown (if conky is running)
I recommend to study other conky.conf files and the docs.
