I am using Ubuntu 10.4 and Conky new version. I downloaded some conkyrc files from net and trying to test for all the output of Conky on my desktop, on my screen end of each line i see a inverted rectangle!
View 9 RepliesI've been using the command line music player moc for some time now & am in love with it. So, I thought it'd be nice if I can add a current track info feed to my conky display. Therefore, I have this smple script that gets the track info from mocp -i .
Code:
#!/bin/sh
TITLE="`mocp -i | grep 'Title:' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`";
if [ "$TITLE" != "" ]; then
ARTIST="`mocp -i | grep 'Artist:' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`";
code....
But here comes the point. The way the track info is shown feels kind of blunt. I was wondering if something can be done either in the script or in conkyrc so that the track info is shown in a single line, moving backward at a constant speed; like you know, news channels show news strips at the bottom of the screen .
i started messing around with conky. its really neat and i like making new configurations and what not, just for fun. the thing is, the other day i was playing around with the 'cpu' variables (cpu, cpubar, cpuguage) normally if you wanted to see the usage of say cpu0 or cpu1 you could call the variable as ${cpu cpu0} or ${cpu cpu1} respectively. well i input ${cpu5} (obviously i dont have 5 cpu's) well it still gave me output as if it was showing me the usage of that cpu. can any of you guys explain this. it also works for other parameters as well. is conky just showing me a bunch of random graphs and percentages or when i called that imaginary cpu does it default to a certain one. these are the only two answers i can come up with on my own.

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 have a photograph of a painting which was lying on a table.The camera angle caused the outline of the painting to be non-rectangular. Is there a transformation feature of GIMP that would let me pick the 4 corners of the painting and have the image transformed to a rectangular shape?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe first thing I do when I launch Gimp is to make the Rectangle Select Tool the active selection.The default selection is the Paintbrush Tool. I find this selection dangerous because it's easy to paint over an image that I do not want marked up. There must be some sort of config file that can be altered. I am using Gimp 2.6.8 under Ubuntu Linux.

After upgrading to Natty/Unitiy I was having problems with very slow and choppy window motion. I tried reinstalling fglrx, and now some of the colors in firefox are coming out inverted (e.g. yellow -> purple) or perhaps just scrambled in some other way (see attached screenshot). There are no other issues I've seen other than some colors in firefox. Most colors look okay.
I downloaded chromium and there are no problems with colors there. I've also upgraded to the latest fglrx drivers from the ATI website and nothing changed. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and still the colors are coming out strangely. Some info. I have an HP Pavilion tx2500ca, with ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics].
I know that you can hit super + n to invert colors of the currently active window. Is there a way to start an application, let's say for instance nautilus, always in this mode?What's the actual command behind super + n?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI rediscovered a concert I converted ~3yrs ago but playback inverts the colour. It plays ok on Windows and virtualdub reports the avi as DivX though I believe I was using xvid & ffdshow at the time. how to invert the inverted colours?
I discovered the extended settings in vlc. I guess it just doesn't show the colour blue. Kind of ironic because of the concert.
when I type "conky" in terminal it returns with Conky: invalid configuration file '/home/user/.conkyrc' Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** : This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context being NULL. Please fix your program. I've tried completely uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, still same error?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Asus Eee PC T 101 mt. Running SuSE Linux 11.4, KDE version 4.6.0 (Release 6).
The image from integrated webcam is inverted. The image can be upturned to correct orientation by ticking the "Upturned" effect in Webcam (wxCam) application. However, these options are not available in Skype or Google video, or probably in all other services using webcam. Other person in video chat sees my inverted image. Is there a way by which I can correct the situation?
Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit installed in laptop hp compaq 6720s, gnome desktop. Personalized inverted theme with cursor whiteglass bigger size. Everything okay in apps except in kde apps I have installed as k3b, ktorrent, when I pass pointer over their windows, the size of cursor is not the bigger but the normal one. Can I do something to fix it?. I used tips in this thread [URL] to make kde apps look like gnome ones.

Code:
When I print to my HP LaserJet 1020 - which has worked fine since OpenSuSe 10.x to OpenSuse 11.3, any images print inverted.
For example, what is white in the image is printed black, and what is black in the image is printed white. When printing a document from LibreOffice, text on the same page as the image prints correctly.
I've checked that this is happening when printing images from LibreOffice, Okular, and Gimp, and tried it with PNG, TIF, and GIF image formats.
However, when I open HPLIP and send a test print through, it prints correctly - text and images all normal.
I'm having a problem with my screen in opensuse 11.4.Everything is ok until the login screen. After the login, when kde starts, the screen gets inverted, rotating 180 grades. The system performance is very slow when this happens. I tried to disable the KMS to use the default system driver, what worked. But with this option, I don't have the performance and resolution available with KMS.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I adjust my slackware and rebooted I saw a strange "rectangle" on my desktop. Please, look at the screenshots below and tell me how I should solve this problem.
I can't move it. Right-click menu on a rectangle coincides with a right-click on desktop. It does not prevent, but very annoying.
I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
Code:
I want to access a file, and check the length of every line.After, i want to check and replace all lines with length over 10 characters, with a message.Does anyone have a clue on that?

Note: file2.txt consist of only a single string where as file2.txt has multiple lines. Actually im comparing two files with md5sum values.
Here is the code but it compares only first line of files..but it should compare the whole file1..and sorry iam a beginner in C can any1 sujest some modification to this code so that..it can compare file2 with entire file1

am writing a small search program for my class. I have decided to use indexing for my program. Ive researched online about indexing and how search engines do it. If im gonno do that I need to create inverted files to associate files to numbers ( numbers being the index of my paths ) . Now I was wondering what would be the best way to create an inverted file ? I was going to create sql tables using mysql api in C but then again there is no array data type or vectors to store few numbers in a single column in mysql and it is not advised to use Enum or SET

how do i make this conky not to be on top of others on startup? i have to killall conky then activate conky to use it normally.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and i thought I'll just compile the latest version of conky.
So i did:
Code:

I finally install everything and manage to get configure to finish but once I type make it exists in the middle.
