I have some problem with dzen2 & conky to show icons and/or colors.In my i3-wm config file i have:exec conky -b -c ~/.conkyrc | i3-wsbar --command "dzen2 -dock -x %x -l"and my conky is correctly displayed on i3-wsbar.But if in my conky I put something like:
^fg(#B64403) mem: $memperc%
or
^fg(red) mem: $memperc%

I'm getting very frustrated and confused with conky-colors. I was reading OMGubuntu, and saw that Conky Colors 7 had been release and it looked pretty [URL]pt to install it from that page, but got hopelessly confused. I would really just like some step by step, noob friendly instructions. I managed to do these first two steps though:"$sudo apt-get install aptitude python-keyring python-statgrab ttf-ubuntu-font-family hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all
$sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp"
Has anyone else noticed this when installing conky-colors in Maverick?I know its not a problem with how I've configured it because it worked just fine in Lucid but here it is anyway:
Code:
./conky-colors --lang=english --theme=elementary --cpu=2 --swap --battery --updates --proc=10 --clock=modern --calendar --hd=simple --banshee=simple --network --eth=0 --

I know how to solve this problem: "You have to enable Appearances->Interface->Show icons in menu." from: [url]
My problem, however, is that on the current version of GNOME that I am running in Squeeze, when I click on "Appearances", there is no "Interface" tab! What do I do about this? Certain icons are missing because of this.
I decided to install Debian on my Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio). Everything worked, but the default GeForce 2 only worked at 1024x768 at few colors. Is there any way to fix this?

url
or like conky colors where you can put in either side, or other complex examples that use folders with images..that at least i need one day to study all the variables it has...
What i want is something simple, in my black background i dont want images and effects, only white simple text.
My problem is: i want for instance my specs above, my log info in the middle, my music info bellow (above my clock) and in conky config i'm hitting my head in the wall....
For instance if i use my facebook script to appear in the midle how the hell can i put my music info bellow without ruined the facebook in the midle...do i need 2 conky configs?
conky draws the root background for sudo transparency, not the desktop image, so solve by using real transparency, but this means any desktop icon blinks or just vanishes, what to do,looked around for a while. but no further along, anyone else had this problem, anyone else solved this problem?

I have had a perfectly working conky setup for a few months now, and felt like updating it. The new setup is slightly longer that the old one. The onlyblem is that it stops displaying any more text after a certain line on my screen. There are 3 more lines below "IO Usage" that should be displaying, but they aren't. They aren't hidden off the screen, they just aren't being displyaed.I also discovered that the top line always seems to be fixed at a certain point on the screen. It won't move up or down. Even if there are less lines of stuff to be displayed, the top line stays there, and there is a gap between conky and the bottom of the screen.The first problem is the bigger one, but I have a feeling that they are both somehow related.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to work out with Conky on my Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
Conky is set to Top Left alignment, but it doesn't seem to be ending up there at all. After changing all of the different alignments, it doesn't seem to move around much at all.
(Desktop Screenshot Attached)
My other issue, which may have something to do with the way my Conky is set up, is that I have a couple of icons on the desktop, but they only show up when I put my mouse over them, and in the next couple of seconds they go away. It seems to be related to the refresh frequency of conky, which seems to be all of my issues right now.
Another note, this conky code is essentially pulled directly from the conky website.

I've installed the conky on my slack 13.1.
So, I get a script on the internet, and get this line error:
platform coretemp.1 temp 1
And I get the follwing error:
Code:
So, I see my output os acpitool and the Thermal Info is not available.
Do you know what can I do to get the Temperature of my CPU?
Is there a way to get conky to show only eth0 or wlan0? My configuration only shows the wireless bit when wifi is switched on but shows eth0 all the time.
Temperature: I have nvidia card with drivers from rpm fusion, can conky give me the temperature of the card and the cpu?
I am using pogodynka.sh to try and get conky to show the temperature and incorporate and icon from weather.ttf to show a graphical depiction... i.e. a sun for sunny, a cloud with a lightening bolt for thunder...
I have managed to get it working in the past (about a year ago) Now I am unable to get the icon to show, the font is installed and being used by other parts of the same instance of conky. However the pogodynka DOES state the temperature. I just have no graphical representation of that, thus it creates a big blank spot in the middle of my conky....
I'm trying to set up Conky to show a number of RSS feeds, and while I can get it to show the raw titles of items how would I trim these titles down to a given number of characters (say, 40) and add an ellipsis to the end if text has been cut off? The length of titles by default can vary wildly, so if only for the sake of organisation it'd be nice to have a maximum title length imposed.
I found this thread that does something kind of similar for Transmission torrents, but I have no idea how I'd adapt it for RSS feeds. As it stands, the code (well, a sample at least) is simply:
Code:
SLASHDOT$hr
${rss http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to 5 item_title 0}
${rss http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to 5 item_title 1}
${rss http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to 5 item_title 2}
${rss http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to 5 item_title 3}
${rss http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to 5 item_title 4}
I'm struggling to get my Conky feed to show the CPU temperature. I'm working with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. Currently my Conky display shows a CPU temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, and I know this isn't true because I built the computer myself and I'm definitely not that good! Also, the GNOME hardware applet contradicts this and gives a more realistic CPU temperature of 33 degrees Celsius. What I can do to rectify this and get this displayed in my Conky?

I have done a sudo-sensors detect, and for CPU sensors it tells me:

I'm using Debian Jessie and I'm trying to install some Gnome Shell Extensions from this site: [URL] .....
I click on the extension and it shows a button that I can turn ON or OFF. It's OFF by default. Then I click it, it turns ON and I'm asked if I want to download and install that extension. I say Yes! But then nothing happens. If I visit "Installed extensions" session, it says there are no extensions installed. And if I refresh the extension page, the ON button becomes OFF again. No matter how many times I try to do this, the result is the same. I tryed it with Iceweasel (v. 24.2.0) and Google Chrome (v. 32.0.1700.77) and default gnome-shell (v. 3.8.4).
I run the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel on Squeeze and the bad nvidia drivers. A recent update, and pardon for not noting which, broke 3d games on my box. From a terminal neverputt yields the following error:

I can mv xorg.conf to xorg.conf-pre and nexuiz will fire-up. Without 3d of course. I spent an hour or so last week going over my xorg.conf but it just ain't broke! Someone else saw it, too, and reported it but his post remains alone in the thread as of 10 minutes ago.
I am having a hard time getting conky execp/execpi to correctly parse output of the scroll variable generated from shell or PHP scripts.

I'm on Debian Wheezy using Shotwell 0.12.3. I have a bunch of .MOV videos that I want to import to Shotwell. I choose import from folder and select copy pictures. The import proceeds and shotwell tells med the .MOV (and some .jpg:s) are imported. The pictures are imported with no problem and placed in an event 2014-10-19 as expected. But videos are placed in an event dated 2004-01-01 and not in 2014-10-19 where they belong. Obviously, Shotwell does not use the files last edit date. I though maybe there was some bad dates in the metadata and opened the files in both Totem and VLC player but concluded there is no such metadata available (as far as I can tell).So how does Shotwell determine the date for .MOV files? Where does 2004-01-01 come from? Seems random.
Then, I tried dragging all movies in Shotwell to the event where it really belongs. That is, where the recently imported photos got placed 2014-10-19. But instead of the videos beeing moved into that correct event, now all photos appears in the 2004-01-01 event.Undo that last step and close Shotwell. Then, instead I manually (in nautilus) copy the .mov files to the 2014-10-19 folder where the picures resides. Open Shotwell again which detects something happened and starts import the videos again. Unfortunatley they still show up in the 2004-01-01 event
Another wierd thing is if I manually (in nautilus) move the Shotwell 2004-01-01 folder away from the Pictures folder (out of reach for Shotwell). Then when I re-open Shotwell the event does not appear anymore - as expected. But If I try to once again import the videos, Shotwell tells me all videos are duplicates and does not import them!?! In other words, manually removing a folder from Shotwell mess up the database. And that database is obviously not used to populate the events tree in the gui.How do I get my video to appear in the correct event? Alternatively; is there a photo/video library in Debian that actually works?
I just updated Nvidia driver with sgfxi to 352.30 (Debian testing), and X doesn't load.

I play around with OpenBox and FBPanel, and quite like it.
I started to install both OpenBox and FBPanel in Debian, and the menu don't have any icons on it.
Simply I'm not going to reconfigure everything in both distro, I copied fbpanel configuration folder to my Ubuntu home.
Then I install FBPanel in Ubuntu it have icons within the menus.
This is FBPanel from my Debian Jessie
This is FBPanel from my Ubuntu
I've googled around without any luck about this problem. It's minor and everything else works okay, but still this shouldn't be happen. Since I see the screenshots of FBPanel in Debian they all have icons on it. Tried changing the icon theme, nothing works. If it's because FBPanel can't find any icon, then the launcher shouldn't have any icons right? Also, I use the exact same configuration on both.
Is it because Debian uses different version of FBPanel? Haven't checked both version tho.
Both Gnome and Gnome-Classic desktops become extremely unmanagebale for me in jessie stable.So I installed xfce desktop in jessie stable. Is there a way to add icons like /usr/bin/skype ]usr/sbin/synaptic.(those nor shown in Add New Icons) in the lower panel which I have extended through the whole desktop?This could easily be done both in gnome and gnome-classic desktops till wheezy.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use Debian Jessie which includes a gnome shell version 3.14.1. The problem is that icons of some applications such as Viber or Starcal are not shown in the tray while the icons of other applications (e.g. Skype of Dropbox) are shown without problem.
By the way, the problem does not relate to loading, because all applications are loaded and a space is considered for each in the tray, but the problem is that for some of applications the pictures of their icons are not shown.

I want to give some of my directories special folder icons. For example, I have a Projects directory and I noticed that there is a special 'projects' directory icon available in my icon theme; I think that it would be nice to use that icon instead of the default directory icon.Google informs me that the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs can be edited to give certain directories special properties, including special icons. However, all my changes to the file get reverted after restarting my computer. Is there a way to make changes to user-dirs.dirs permanent?
