The conky-ness thread!

Any thoughts? Thank you, Regards Glenn

I think chmod will come to your rescue ... (chmod +x /var/log/messages) Although your line works perfectly for me and /var/log/messages is root: owned - root: read-write

I like the Wikipedia CHMOD page better than man chmod in a terminal.

I caught the "log messages" bug from JuseBox on the ARCH forums. Neat idea ... I made a "full screen" conky in a window (open it - read it - close it) with various log files

I added an "-s" so it would break at spaces vs in the middle of words:

${color5}GlennsPref's line${color} ${hr}

${execi 30 tail -n3 /var/log/messages | fold -s -w50}

${hr}

${color5}dmesg:
${color}${exec dmesg | tail -n10}

${color5}/var/log/daemon.log:
${color}${exec tail -n10 /var/log/daemon.log}

then mrpeachy grabbed it and made it "interactive" now that's cool! Read from there and the next 3 or 4 posts.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: This is my conky.test; that's why you see other stuff - I am working on a couple of things

mumble mumble ... I just take tooooooooo long with my three finger typing ... and got carried away anyway....

Sad thing with the Ubuntu forums being down.

You should join the CrunchBang forums as well, your name is all over the conky thread there ... of course I'm quoting you and showing your work in the Monster Conky Thread quite often.

I'm sure people would appreciate your wisdom, and it's like the Ubuntu conky thread, people from all different distros are there talking conky.

If that was one of my fingers I'd be like greased lightning!

glenn@GamesBox:~ » tail -n3 /var/log/messages | fold -sw50 tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/messages’ for reading: Permission denied

only works with sudo.

Thanks for "break at spaces with fold", looks better.

I'm thinking I still have a sudo problem on my system.

edit, Now if I use sudo for syslog and dmidecode it works fine.

I've thought about using the static info as suggested, but I want the cpu speed live,

so I can check if any upgrades have changed the settings for power management.

wip, but I'm loving it.

Regards Glenn

Hey! syslog is working without sudo.

Now, dmidecode has stopped working.

I'm at a loss ... I can read all but one log ...
I have a friend who uses kubuntu if that's the system you are using ... I can ask him.

No thank you, give me some more time.

I'm running Mageia Cauldron (prerelease/testing/unstable/bleeding-edge)

I have never (I can't remember...) been able to view the system logs as described. Sux to be me!(?)

Anyway the conkys are working (thank you Very Much!), They look similar to what you have seen here.

Cheers, Glenn

# This script depends on curl.  Please ensure it is installed and in your $PATH

# Usage:
# .conkyrc:	${execi [time] /path/to/script/conky-rss.sh URI LINES TITLENUM}
#	URI = Location of feed, ex. http://www.gentoo.org/rdf/en/glsa-index.rdf
#	LINES = How many titles to display (default 5)
#	TITLENUM = How many times the title of the feed itself is specified, usually 1 or 2 (default 2)

Hi Glenn,
I've been trying to work out why your wget_seabreeze script was still working
when you had changed the original line...

wget -O .f1 http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld.asp

to

wget -O index.html http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld.asp

The rest of the script relies on interacting with the .f1 file which you are now not creating.

This script was written for me a few years ago because the last part of the image address
was forever changing and I didn't know how to download it.
eg the current address is (from the browser right click > copy image address)...

http://www.seabreeze.com.au/images/forecast/3/BRIS/rgg.png?n=1374738791000

The numbered ending changes hourly, so the script was used to download the site source
and then isolate the correct image address to download the latest image.

Due to the fact that your script is still working, it appears you don't need the ending
to take you to the latest image...
IE using the latest image address

http://www.seabreeze.com.au/images/forecast/3/BRIS/rgg.png?n=1374738791000

or just

http://www.seabreeze.com.au/images/forecast/3/BRIS/rgg.png

both give the latest image.

So the wget_seabreeze script is not needed at all and the line in your ~/.conky/surf/conky.conf calling the script...

${execi 3600 ~/.conky/surf/get/wget_seabreeze}

can be replaced with simply directly downloading the latest image...

${execi 3600 curl http://www.seabreeze.com.au/images/forecast/3/BRIS/rgg.png > ~/.conky/surf/get/.seabreeze.png}

Hi, Thanks stinkeye, I had changed that when I was looking for the file.

As it stands, the image works, but it seems to fade a bit,
like the cloud icons diminish, but I guess that could be white on white.

I had actually forgotten I had changed that. I switched it back just now and it works too.

Later today I'll give the new line a go. Cheers.

Another new conky .... Today I made an appointment to have my eyes checked.

I'm forgetful ... when I say 'my forgetter is getting better' I'm usually joking, but I do tend to forget some things so today I wrote a neat (opinion) little conky to remind me of things.

It has the ability so show nothing until the right day, or show a 'note' with an "in x days" and on the day of the event show what's what:


On the left is the code that shows nothing until the day of the reminder, I put a couple of ${membar 0,100} commands in there to show it's really running.

On the right is the reminder as if it was today.

The code is easy enough.

On the left - shows nothing until the day:

update_interval 1
TEXT
${alignc}${membar 0,100}
${if_match "${time %x}"=="12/12/13"}${alignc}${color5}Eyes today${color}
${alignc}12/12/13 @ 14:00
${alignc}be 15 min early.
${alignc}V. del Pino 2458 1st Fl.
${alignc}Dra. Reijana${else}${endif}
${alignc}${membar 0,100}

and in the centre:

update_interval 1
TEXT
${if_match "${time %x}"=="12/12/13"}${alignc}${color5}Eyes today${color}
${alignc}12/12/13 @ 14:00
${alignc}be 15 min early.
${alignc}V. del Pino 2458 1st Fl.
${alignc}Dra. Reijana${else}${alignc}${color5}Eyes in ${exec conkyDaysDiff 20131212} days${color}
${goto 15}${color1}SU MO ${color5}Dec 2013${color1} FR SA

Now I have to remember to add it to my autostart script. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You my good man, have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much free time.

It's called: retired. But sometimes I'm busier than a ... pick your poison.

You need a proper "hobby", but I suppose this one doesn't irritate the Wife.
