Ubuntu :: Conky Wireless Info Not Displaying?
Nov 7, 2010
I'm trying to display Wi-Fi network info using Conky. I've got it to display the IP address and the upload/download speeds, but for some reason it won't display the network SSID or wireless signal strength. Here's the relevant portion of my conky configuration:
Wi-Fi:
Network: ${wireless_essid eth1}
Signal Strength: ${wireless_link_qual_perc eth1}%
IP address: ${addr eth1}
Download Speed: ${downspeedf eth1} Kb/sec
Upload Speed: ${upspeedf eth1} Kb/sec
It's not the most frustrating problem in the world, but I've been unable to figure out the solution myself after several hours of perusing previous similar problems with Conky configs.

I am in 8.04. Recently installed conky and wanted to have this conkyrc - [url] You may see how it should look.
Also I tried other conkyrc, but every time I got one annoying thing.
Conky is displaying some weird letters in front of every line of info.
Here is the screenshot of what's going on:
You can see big letters S P M at the beginning of every line. If I am adding more info to display, those letters continue to appear on every line.
Instead of these letters their should be icons as on screenshots in gnome look

I use the awesome todo.txt cli tool for my todo list. I want to find a way to display this on my desktop, and have it update every time I update the file. Is there an easy way to do this? Does conky do stuff like this?

I recently built a new computer. For CPU, I am using AMD Athlon II X2 @ 2.8GHz... However, when I do cat /proc/cpuinfo, I get the following:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 6
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 800.000
cache size : 1024 KB
and same thing for processor: 1 Notice that for cpu MHz, it says 800.000. However, that is not correct... Shouldn't it say 2800? Is this a bug? Am I looking at this wrong?

I've been messing with it and haven't found a good way to script it in Conky.
Has anyone else found anything?

I have been trying to configure webalizer on a centOS 5.5 system. I did the yum install and I found this helpful link...However when I try to change the dir it puts the info into, it keeps giveing me an error cannot cd to the directory. I changed the /etc/webalizer.conf file as described in the above article and try to run it manually same results. /etc/cron.daily/00webalizer Error: Can't change directory to /home/webalizer/When I put the original dir back in the path it writes to /var/www not /var/www/output like it should. I even tried a local /var/wwww/output dir. Then I tried a link to /home/webalizer/output (a dir I created) and same results.(with orginal .cfg in place)I go to my www page remote or on the local network I get page not found errors.In summary.1. Why wont the /etc/webalizer.cf file allow me to change the location of the files?2. How do I display the www page to view the data?3. How can I secure the www page so only I can view the data.

I've seen some desktop screengrabs which have included a transparent graphic (usually in the upper right corner of the screen) that displays current system information such as the hostname, kernel revision, CPU utilization, etc., that is constantly updated.Is that something that is available from Debian? I would like to install it to check it out, if it's available.

How do I get conky to show the list of network connections by applications and their upload/download speeds? Ultimately, I would like to see something like this:
Code:
First 3 or four applications would be just enough.

Earlier on my wireless is attached as eth1 and it works on to load conky except the Network section is blank. After that I had renamed eth1 to wlan0 and checked at ifconfig it is working fine.Now the conky won't load and I think something to do with my wlan0.

I have conky installed and set up as a startup application, however everytime I log out and back in conky creates itself as a new window:
How can I get conky to start normally without having to do a manual restart everytime I login?

Said 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?

I am trying to figure out how I can see which access point my wireless card is connected to. I have a slackware system and. Basically, I know my card is connected to something, because firefox can do a google search, but I'm not sure what network it is connected to, since there are a couple open networks in my apt complex. Is there a command to list the ssid? that I'm connect to? and, I'm new to all this so I'm not sure if ssid is the correct term. I have a consumer grade netgear wireless "router" that I bought from bestbuy which has a "passphrase".

I have a problem with conky. It draws a black background instead of using pseudo-transparency. I ofc tried to achieve this with feh but to no avail. All the instructions here failed: Conky Hardcore! Conky transparency with KDE (3 and 4)

I have two hard drives in my compy. One is 500 gb and the other is ~40 gb. I tried to install ubuntu on the 40 gb one because the 500 gb one is starting to die. When I use a live cd to install and partition the harddrive.
It shows I have 3:
/dev/sdb] and /dev/mapper/nvidia_fhidaeja are physically the same drive but appear as two, independent but equal drives.I kinda just ignore it and move on. I install ubuntu and try to boot and I receive an error saying that grub can't be found. I install and repeat two more times and get the same message. I'm thinking the the "extra" drive has something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I've tried reformatting it and resetting bios but nothing seems to work.

I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit using Unetbootin, and I've managed to get into command line Ubuntu fine. I installed gnome (I think gnome, the command was "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"), typed "startx", and my monitor instantly went to a screen saying "NO SUPPORT". I rebooted, and this time a black screen with a white, low-resolution Ubuntu logo appeared for a few seconds, before "NO SUPPORT" appeared again. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1950XT AGP, and my "monitor" is a TV taking HDMI input through an adapter cable from a DVI out, if either of those pieces of info is useful. I'm now back in command line Ubuntu having booted into recovery mode, and I'm using a text-only browser for the first time.

I have run into an issue trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop. I am trying to install Ubuntu along side of Windows 7, but on a separate drive. When I chose the option to install on an entire drive, the installation worked. However, when I choose Ubuntu from GRUB, nothing displays. The same result happens for the recovery mode (Windows works fine).

I was running 9.10-64, upgraded from 9.04 on a 160GB separate boot drive with a 1TB drive for storage. I had mdadm software RAID on 3 500GB drives. I copied off the contents of the md0 RAID device, formatted from ext3 to ext4, then copied it all back. I operated for several weeks this way with enhanced performance and no issues.note: All drives are on MB SATA-II.I wiped out everything and reloaded the 160GB drive with 10.04-64. I removed dmraid and set up mdadm as before with no immediate problems.
The next day, when I pulled up the contents of the 1TB drive (mapped to /1000), it displayed the contents of the root instead. Curious, I attempted to tunnel down to the /1000 folder from within its own listing of /, and saw no files listed. I proceeded to delete the files in the /1000 folder, whereupon I found that my system became unstable. I must have somehow been deleting files from the root itself.I reloaded again. To check if the SATA connector to the 1TB drive may be somehow suddenly faulty, I reordered the connectors and set up the boot priority in the BIOS to match the new configuration. The next morning, I was once again able to see the contents of / when ls'ing /1000. I carefully checked the entry in fstab, the fdisk -l output, and made sure that the directory wasn't somehow showing as a link.
For the next attempt I decided to take ext4 and mdadm completely out of the equation, hoping it was a bug with some combination of the two under the new kernel or something else which could be corrected by replacing the software RAID with a physical controller at a later date. Instead of RAID, I simply formatted each of the 500's as ext3 and mapped them to /500-1 through /500-3 respectively. However, after a day of normal operation, I am now able to see the contents of / when I ls /500-3. The other 4 drives appear to continue operating normally.I have been unable to pull up a similar post prior to creating this one. Perhaps I don't know how to properly search for this issue. If anyone has seen something similar, please link me to the solution.

I get a lot of email from different yahoogroups, but am having a bit of trouble in one group.
Every so often I'll get a message that is written in rich text and sent from the group's web post feature, but only half of it is displayed. If I check the message source the entire message is there, and if I change Evolutions settings to plain instead of HTML then the entire message is there.
The weird thing is it only seems to be the messages from one particular poster that is being cut off.
It'd be nice if I could stick with HTML and Evolution.

My local server isn't displaying images or proper css for my web pages. The pages display just fine on the webserver, but locally no images show, most of the css declarations aren't there and some of the php includes won't show on the page either. It's as if it's 10% working. All the files are in the right place. I changed directory permissions and tried restarting apache but that didn't help.

I have a LAMP environment on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop. I created a directory in /home/user that I use for all my development work called /projects.
I am able to access this directory via localhost/projects as the URI in my web browser; I see a listing of all the separate directories and I am able to click on each directory and see its contents.

I have default, default-ssl and projects in my /etc/apache2/sites-available directory. I haven't changed these files since I first created them. I haven't changed the permissions on any of the directories within /home/user/projects since I first set this up.
What can I do to access this directory from the address bar of a browser again?

I'm relatively new with Ubuntu- but I'm pretty experienced otherwise with computers. I just installed Ubuntu on my Intel machine and it seemed to be running a little slow so I checked the System Monitor and found that there were 2 CPU's being displayed (I only have 1) and that one or both were maxed out at 100%. What I have for hardware is one Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor, with 2GB of ram. When I check what resources are running, none of them seem to be taking up that much memory (firefox being the most at 60mb).Any advice on what might be going on here? How is it displaying 2 CPU's when I only have one?

I don't exactly know how to describe the problem, that's why I included a screenshot of the desktop wallpaper. You can see a small copy of the desktop image on the left corner and the whole desktop with the same image. I changed the desktop and the same thing happened.
