Slackware :: Start Conky And Add Module At System Startup?
Jul 21, 2011my Conky needed the Coretemp, and a friend of LQ told me to run modprobe, and it works greate! no every time I start my system, I need to run the modprobe to add the module to Kernel. How can I put the coretemp to start every startup? (I think there is somenthing to do with a file on the rc.module at /etc/rc.d/, but I'm afraid to do something stupid...) I want to make the conky running after start of the system. How can I do this?

Apr 17, 2011The program "qtconfig" does not load saved config on startup.
I just installed slackware-current from today's update (mirrored from ftp.slackware.com). The program "qtconfig" seems to have saved my changes to "~/.config/Trolltech.conf". However, after restarting qtconfig all options become the defaults.
I verified this in both the C locale and a UTF-8 locale.
Another computer of mine has a -current system from a few months ago and doesn't have this problem.

Ubuntu :: Getting Conky To Start At Startup?
Apr 6, 2010As the title implies, I have fluxbox and conky running in Karmic. The problem is getting conky to start at startup. Below is my ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I have searched and tried everything I have found to get it to work. Conky works beautifully when I run it manually. Anyway, here is my startup file:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap "/home/doug/.Xmodmap"
unclutter -idle 2 &
conky &
exec fluxbox -log "/home/doug/.fluxbox/log"
Lines added before and after the conky line run perfectly. Unclutter runs, but no conky.
Ubuntu :: Conky Run At Startup Covers Everything
May 5, 2011I want conky to run at startup. I put an entry in startup applications but when it starts it covers everything (see attached image). I can fix it (i.e. moving a window over it covers conky) by running killall conky && conky , but I don't want to have to do that all the time.
I suspect the problem has to do with the window type, but don't know how to fix it. Also, I don't want to lose sight of the icons/files on the desktop.
Here's my conky.rc:
Ubuntu :: Conky Can't Load The Image
Apr 28, 2011I have one error with a skin conky. When i execute a conky it display a error
Code:
rm: no se puede borrar �/home/said/.tonky/notify/oncal�: No existe el fichero o el directorio
rm: no se puede borrar �/home/said/.tonky/notify/oncpu�: No existe el fichero o el directorio
rm: no se puede borrar �/home/said/.tonky/notify/onmem�: No existe el fichero o el directorio

I think, that error can be because i have a smaller display.
Ubuntu :: Conky Startup Script Never Executes
May 6, 2010I'm having trouble getting conky to boot friendly-like with the gwm. If I just set conky as a start up program, it floats above other windows, it seems to have loaded before the desktop actually did. So I googled it and found that many people use the conky shell scripts to make it sleep until the desktop load. I created one, made it executable, and restarted to see the effect and found that conky never launched at all (not visible, no running process).
Here is my startup shell script for conky:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && conky;
This is how it should look if working properly. If I launch conky after login, it looks like this every time. [URL]. This is how it looks if I simply set it to open upon startup with no script. [URL]. If I try to open it with the script, I simply never see anything in conkys place. It seems like the script never executes. I've tried setting longer and shorter sleep times, but I never see so much as a single instance of conky running.
Ubuntu :: Conky Script Not Running At Startup
Feb 1, 2011I am trying to run a script that runs at startup. I have followed directions found at this Website: [URL]. Everything works except the script which consists of two lines.
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30 && conky ;
I changed the file permissions to be executed and named it .conky-startup.sh.
Then I went to System>Preferences>Startup Applications and created a new entry that points to my script file. When I restarted my system, Conky didn't start. If I try to run the file from Nautilus or the Terminal, nothing happens.

Ubuntu :: Conky At Startup - Has Wrong Window Setting
May 17, 2011I have conky running a simple script on my Ubuntu 11.04 install. Running conky from using ALT-F2 is fine, but I have have conky added to the startup list, and when it runs from this, the conky window is different (ie not integrated with desktop layer). It has some shadowing around the edge and it seems to be on a layer other than the desktop. In addition to this, it stops running after a short while. I then run conky from ALT-F2 again and it's appears as I want, and stays there all day. I have included what I think is the relevant code below from my conkyrc. Has anyone had similar issues with a suitable way to resolve the problem?
Code:
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type override
#own_window_type desktop
#own_window_type normal
#
own_window_type conky
own_window_class Conky

Slackware :: Conky SlackBuild Fails - Every Single Time ?
Jul 1, 2010I am trying to build conky from SlackBuilds.org using sbopkg, but the build fails every single time. It may be worth noting that I am trying to build with extra options, namely --disable-x11 --disable-xdamage --disable-own-window --disable-xft.
This is so I can have a cli-only conky that I can pipe to my status bar. This has worked in the past, but now the build is failing with a seemingly unrelated error.
It states:
Code:
At the end of the build. I tried removing the option --enable-audacious, but that only resulted in an error which complained that yet another option (--enable-rss=yes) was a "Command not found". This continues as I remove options. I would like to keep many of those options active as I have a need for certain features.
This is a copy of the SlackBuild being used:
Code:
I have a full install of Slackware64 v13.1, so audacious is installed. I don't know what else could be going wrong, and I don't know why this worked in the past.

Slackware :: Fixed Conky / KDE4 Transparency - Doesn't Disappear When Click Desktop
Jun 19, 2010This works on my Slackware64 13.1 using KDE 4.4.4, Conky version 1.8.0. This is a simple .conkyrc tweak that doesn't need feh, it doesn't have the distracting faun shadow-border and most importantly, it doesn't disappear when you click your desktop (On my system anyway). These are the relevant sections to edit:
Code:
own_window_colour black
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_130
own_window_type override
own_window yes
I found that getting rid of the own_window_argb_values yes suggested in other fixes and replacing it with a specific alpha and then changing window type to override solved all my issues. I've noticed no bugs or strange happenings. This seems to be a common problem with a lot of workaround solutions. I think this is a much more elegant way. Edit: Not persistant... After 2 reboots it's back to normal.
Debian :: Conky - Full Screen Config / 2 Conky Configs?
Jun 13, 2011Said that all the config i find put all the info in one place of the screen, in this example on the right side:
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?
Ubuntu :: Can't Load Any OS At Startup
Jan 22, 2010When I turn on the computer, the Grub2 shows up and asks me to choose what OS to start. And from today on, whatever I choose, I end up with nothing. When Linux (Ubuntu) is chosen, then the blinking logo is shown (depicting it's loading) and after some time I can only see a black screen. In case when Windows is chosen, the black screen appears immediately. Kive cd works fine but don't know what I could do with it. A week ago I changed a booting order in my BIOS, so that GRUB2 is loading very fast now. Then I also chose: sudo dkpg-reconfigure grub-pc and selected the disk that had my boot partition. For a week or so it worked fine.
