Hi freestyler,

I have downloaded kriss's conky with lua and without lua. I have also downloaded conky manager. But when I activate them, I am not able to get conky working beautifully as per conky manager preview. See attached for comparison between preview and my conky.


Eventually I have used usm -g conky to download another copy with all the deps as well.
1. gtk+3-3.8.2-x86_64-2.xzm
2. at-spi2-atk-2.8.1-x86_64-1.xzm
3. at-spi2-core-2.8.0-x86_64-1.xzm
4. libXevie-1.0.3-x86_64-1.xzm
5. lua-5.1.5-x86_64-1alien.xzm
6. audacious-3.3.4-x86_64-1.xzm
7. audacious-plugins-3.3.4-x86_64-1.xzm
8. imlib2-1.4.5-x86_64-1ponce.xzm
9. tolua++-1.0.93-x86_64-1ponce.xzm

The lua module must be from alien repo. As I have tried using lua-5.1.5-x86_64-3sl.xzm and it is not working as expected.
You must create a symlink for lua as well:-

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib64/liblua.so.5 /usr/lib64/liblua.so

With correct lua, you will get the clock and all the rings working. Make sure ~/.conky/clock01_rings.lua exist.

My conkyrc in ~/conky-manager/themes/4 & 2 core blue/config/
I tried not to change the script too much. The changes I have done is mostly in the weather section for voffset and script execution timing where I change from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

In conky manager, there is a missing script for collecting the weather information. I have downloaded it and put as per conky manager original folder and name:-
~/.conky/accu_weather/rss/acc_rss

I've just change the locCode to WMKK for Kuala Lumpur weather locale and set the unit to Celsius using metric=1.
If you prefer Fahrenheit then just remove metric=1.
Location codes can be obtained here:-
http://wwwa.accuweather.com/phoenix2/he ... iation.htm

Conky weather TTF must be in ~/.fonts/ConkyWeather.ttf for the correct icons(sun/cloudy/storm) to be displayed.

Command to load conky:-
conky -c '/root/conky-manager/themes/4 & 2 core blue/config/conkyrc2core'

Finally if everything is done correctly, you will get this:-
