Ubuntu :: Conky Display All Mounted Drives
Sep 18, 2010So I'm running Fluxbox as my window manager in Xubuntu. I use ivman to automatically mount any usb devices.Now I was wondering if it's possible to have conky display all mounted drives and some information about them.I saw you can do {$ifmounted /media/blah} but this would assume I have a set number of devices preconfigured in fstab. It doesn't account for some random guy's flash drive, or a buddy's smartphone.
I know mount | grep sd outputs a list of mounted drives. So then could I somehow format that output and pass it to conky? Or do you guys have any more clever ideas on how I could accomplish this?

Debian Multimedia :: Conky Execp / Execpi To Parse Output Of Scroll Variable Generated From Shell Or PHP Scripts
Sep 11, 2015I am having a hard time getting conky execp/execpi to correctly parse output of the scroll variable generated from shell or PHP scripts.
Code: Select allDebian 8.0
Xfce 4.10
Conky 1.9.0-6
This is a simplified minimal conky configuration file used to show the same problem:
Code: Select allalignment bottom_middle
background no
border_width 1
default_color white
default_outline_color white
default_shade_color white
double_buffer yes
[Code] ....
Here is the output I'm getting:
Code: Select all ABC /*doesn't scroll, UNEXPECTED, shows 10 spaces before ABC*/
ABC --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*doesn't scroll, WORKS AS EXPECTED as scroll length is 25 which is longer than text "abcdefghijklmnop" */
abcdefghijklmnopABC --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*WORKS, everything before ABC scrolls 5 characters at a time*/

Nov 27, 2010I am putting together a Conky config file by a sort of 'smash and grab' approach borrowing things from various configs I've seen around the web that do stuff I like. I have reached a stumbling block as I want to display my external IP, I have used
Code:
${addrs eth0}
to display the IP on my LAN and guessed I would just need to substitute 'eth0' with something else to get the external IP?? I have tried the mac address of my primary router to no avail, this just displays '0.0.0.0' My current config looks like:-
Code:
# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background yes

Jan 2, 2011I'd like to tweak my Conky so it automatically displays the days of the week correctly. So for example, if TODAY were Tuesday, it would look like this:
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
[etc.]
And then tomorrow, *automatically*, it would look like this:
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

I know I can get it to display *today's* date like this:

But how do I get it to display tomorrow's date?
General :: Temp Script To Minus Value To Display In Conky?
Jan 18, 2011I have an K10 AMD CPU and unfortunately it has a borked temp sensor. I have figured out that if I subtract 8 from value stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature that the result is very close to being spot on. The problem is I have no idea to do this and conky has no built in way to do this.
The data stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature looks like this:
Code:
temperature: 52 C
Is there some sort of script that can do this?

Jan 4, 2010I have a problem to use echo to display the content of a variable.
This is what I do:
Code:

USAGE="Usage: name [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORIES]"
echo $USAGE
When I run this little script I get the following output:
Usage: name [OPTIONS] R
So I think that [DI might be some sort of escape sequence. But I do not know how to unescape it. Does anyone have a hint for me?

Slackware :: Display The Full $PROMPT_COMMAND Environment Variable In The Konsole Title Bar?
Mar 18, 2011IN 3.5.10 I am able to display the full $PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable in the Konsole title bar. Kind of handy and I did not need to display that information in the $PROMPT variable.
In 4.5.5 I am having trouble figuring out how to make that work correctly. The title bar displays only the directory name rather than the full path and user name.
This is my $PROMPT_COMMAND:
history -a;echo -ne "33]0;${USER}@`uname -n`: ${PWD}07"
All I see in the title bar is:
dirname: bash
I should see:
username@hostname: full path to present working directory

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?

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Display Out Of Range After Installing Latest Version
Aug 4, 2010I have reloaded windows xp and now after installing ubuntu latest version, I get a boot menu that gives options. if I select the Ubuntu option, within a few seconds(2)the monitor shows "out of range"! However it is possible to get a command prompt from this menu,(Grub)by pressing "C" then Tab, which lists about 30 commands! But I cannot find what command will overide the ubuntu boot display setting! yet if it is possible in the disc boot F6 menu, then it follows that it must be possible in the hard disk boot menu? (ie nomodeset available on the disk F6, so using F6-nomodeset on the disk allows me to install or run from the disk, which then runs perfectly) Only I cannot make changes in the Ubuntu live that runs direct from the disk, to the installation on the hard drive. My Monitors Max is 75hz 1280x1024, LCD. And although not the latest model, Its still relatively current. Windows from the boot menu works fine.
