Conky Showcase 2020

Share your conky thread

Share what ever you use for conky - just remember - credit where credit is due.

Basic guidelines

If your conky script is based on another conky - your header should use something like this

conky.config = {
-- original author https://github.com/altinukshini/conky_blue
-- modified by linux-aarhus
...

When you post large amounts of code

  1. Use code fence - select your code and click the </> in the post toolbar
  2. Use the details tag - select your fenced code and click :gear:Hide details

The Conky Showcase for 2021 can be found here

Conky clock for FHD (1920x1080)

This is a multi part conky. It is using a lua script for the clock, a bash script for weather, and a wallpaper. The wallpaper can be found at Computer Love Conky Pack. - Gnome-look.org - the result looks like this

The conky is created for 1920x1080. The location of your system panel may also influence on the placement of the conky - it may require additional tweaking for other screen sizes and other layouts.

# Renamed and edited by linux-aarhus 2020
# Clock Rings by Linux Mint (2012) reEdited by Altin.
#
# https://github.com/altinukshini/conky_blue
#
# This script draws percentage meters as rings, and also draws clock hands if you want!
# It is fully customisable; all options are described in the script.
# This script is based off a combination of my clock.lua script and my rings.lua script.
#
# IMPORTANT: If you are using the 'cpu' function, it will cause a segmentation fault if it tries to draw a ring straight away.
#                     The if statement on line 324 uses a delay to make sure that this doesn't happen.
#                     It calculates the length of the delay by the number of updates since Conky started.
#                     Generally, a value of 5s is long enough, so if you update Conky every 1s,
#                     use update_num>5 in that if statement (the default).
#                     If you only update Conky every 2s, you should change it to update_num>3;
#                     conversely if you update Conky every 0.5s, you should use update_num>10.
#                     ALSO, if you change your Conky, is it best to use "killall conky; conky" to update it,
#                     otherwise the update_num will not be reset and you will get an error.
#
# To call this script in Conky, use the following in your conkyrc:
#
#   lua_load ~/.conky/clock01_rings.lua
#   lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

A post was split to a new topic: Question on conky thread 2020

My Conky output isn’t as spectacular as linux-aarhus’s one:

but it is very compact and has some nifty tricks in its configuration file: (full code at the bottom of this post)

  1. It runs in one window on one desktop (which is the way I like it to be)

    Code snippet
    own_window_class = 'Conky',
    own_window_type = 'normal',
    
  2. It defines the Manjaro colours identical to the Breath2 theme:

    Code snippet
    default_color = '#1abc9c',  -- Same HTML as current terminal
    color1 = '#709080',         -- Kakhi
    color2 = '#dca3a3',         -- Salmon
    color3 = '#72d5a3',         -- Light Green
    color4 = '#f0dfaf',         -- Yellow
    color5 = '#7eb2e6',         -- Metal blue
    color6 = '#a45ec1',         -- Light aubergine
    

    and if you would have another theme, just go to your terminal settings and choose the colours you like from your theme!

  3. If my NAS is mounted, it will show said NAS and otherwise it will show nothing (not even an empty line). You can use the same system for E.G. an external disk:

    Code snippet
    # Don't show NAS if not mounted
    ${if_existing /media/NAS/home/}

    Obviously this is done by testing for the existence of a single directory on the NAS. I.E. if that directory is not present, the NAS is not mounted and the same goes for your external disk.

  4. Depending on whether I’m hooked up by WiFi or Ethernet, it will show the WiFi statistics, the Ethernet statistics, both or none on a logarithmic scale!

    Code snippet
    # Networking section will not show anything if no NICS are up
    # Will show speed and graph per NIC if they are up
    ${if_existing /sys/class/net/enp3s0/operstate up}${color}Ethernet
    ${color}Down: ${color1}${downspeed enp3s0}s ${alignr}${color}Up: ${color1}${upspeed enp3s0}/s
    ${downspeedgraph enp3s0 50,200 dca3a3 ffffff -l -t} ${alignr}${color1}${upspeedgraph enp3s0 50,200 dca3a3 ffffff -l -t}
    ${color}Total: ${color1}${totaldown enp3s0} ${alignr}${color}Total: ${color1}${totalup enp3s0}
    ${endif}${if_existing /sys/class/net/wlp2s0/operstate up}${color}WiFi
    ${color}Down: ${color1}${downspeed wlp2s0}/s ${alignr}${color}${color}Up: ${color1}${upspeed wlp2s0}/s
    ${downspeedgraph wlp2s0 50,200 dddddd ffffff -l -t} ${alignr}${color1}${upspeedgraph wlp2s0 50,200 dddddd ffffff -l -t}
    ${color}Total: ${color1}${totaldown wlp2s0} ${alignr}${color}Total: ${color1}${totalup wlp2s0}${endif}
    

    Obviously, you’ll have to change wlp2s0 and enp3s0 to the devices your system uses:

    nmcli device show | grep ".DEVICE"
    GENERAL.DEVICE:                         wlp2s0
    GENERAL.DEVICE:                         p2p-dev-wlp2s0
    GENERAL.DEVICE:                         enp3s0
    GENERAL.DEVICE:                         lo
    

    The logarithmic scale means that you can still distinguish Bytes/second, KiloBytes/s, MB/s, GB/s or whatever TB/s the future might bring in one single graph:grin:

Note 1: One of the things I struggled with was that in the { } definition section you have to use -- to start a comment whether in the [[ ]] code section you have to use # to start a comment. :man_facepalming:
Note 2: Because Conky is so popular it’s hard to find the original documentation maintained by the authors of Conky, so here is the original Wiki that I followed to understand what’s going on.
Note 3: If you want to design your own dials, progress-bars, or use advanced widgets from someone else, you shouldn’t install standard conky but should pamac install conky-cairo instead!

Thanks for your config! I added the code to hide my NAS folders when i’m away from home. Way cool!
i wish i could hide the entire entry (because that space is still occupied with a blank line)

Ok, I’ll post mine too. Actually these are 3 conky’s. I have the main conky on the right of the screen. The upper one is my connection conky and below we have the log. Normally this one is to display error messages, but at this time there aren’t any so I switched to an RSS feed. Just so I can show it. I’m not going to write a lot about it, cause I don’t have much time now. If there is a question I will hear it.

Right part of the screen shows some info about the system itself.

It could be that there are a few things in the script that could be adjusted. But I only have converted my old one to the new conky script and didn’t pay much attention on it.

To install

For this one, I have chosen the simplistic method. Which means, I used conky-manager2 from the AUR. I’ve saved the above codeblocks to 3 different files. Mine are .conkyrc, Connection and Log, but you can name it whatever you want. They are located in my ~/.conky/ directory, but you can save them wherever you want to. All you have to do is select the files and let it startup every time. Et Voila.

:+1: for @Fabby because I saw his topic about the HDD temp and I have to admit, I used that info. Yes sir ! :grin:

Nice! I’d be interested in the fritzbox_values/getValues.sh script too?

:grin:

Here is the content of getValues.sh which is called in the conkyrc:

#!/bin/bash

fritzbixIp="172.16.1.1"
xmlFile="/home/NAME/.conky/conky_scripts/fritzbox_values/dsl.xml"

tmpS=$(curl -s "http://$fritzbixIp:49000/igdupnp/control/WANCommonIFC1" -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=\"utf-8"\" -H "SoapAction:urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:WANCommonInterfaceConfig:1#GetCommonLinkProperties" -d "@$xmlFile")

downLink=${tmpS#*"DownstreamMaxBitRate>"}
downLink=${downLink%"</NewLayer1DownstreamMaxBitRate"*}
down=`echo "scale=1 ; $downLink/1000000" | bc`

upLink=${tmpS#*"UpstreamMaxBitRate>"}
upLink=${upLink%"</NewLayer1UpstreamMaxBitRate"*}
up=`echo "scale=1 ; $upLink/1000000" | bc`

echo  "Down: $down MBit/s - Up: $up MBit/s"

And here is the content of the xml file which is called in the getValues.sh:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <s:Envelope s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

Hi! sorry for the insane late reply. actually it is on the same line:

Your code looks way different than mine, so remove all the other stuff you’re using simplify your code and see which of the additional features like $offset and $alignr are causing this on yours…

I remember Conky was one huge reason for the monthly Desktop screeshots thread we had in our old forum. Where are my Desktop Screenshots buddies at?? I miss those. Anybody starting the tradition again?

Bub, where have you been? Desktop screenshots are no longer a thing on the new forum.

Do a forum search to read up on it.

Hey Wongs,

I do know that it is no longer a tradition. I am trying to make it again. :slight_smile:

I couldn’t find much with my searches. Is it forbidden or something for some reason? Would be great if you could share the relevant threads. Much appreciated in advance. :slight_smile:

PS: Found the thread in question. For heavens sake. Community building is also about fun and something casual, I was never a regular person in the thread. But I would pop-in from time to time, it helped me a lot with functionality. I found enough reasons to configure Conky in my system through that thread.

It is just sad that the team are not understanding the importance of putting some fun into computing. You need to think why a lot of older folks didn’t bother making a new account in the new forum. Closing down things will never help.

Can I borrow this ? So nice and clean :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,
I like the first board of this Conky. But, I need to know: Where placed the code on my system, please ?!

Under normal circumstances:

Proof:

fab-user@fab-manjaro:~
$ ls ~/.config/conky/
MyFunctions.lua   conky.bak   conky.conf~  conky.tmp   conky2.conf~
MyFunctions.lua~  conky.conf  conky.small  conky.tmp~

Ah, Thank you Linux-Aarhus and after, where do I put it on the system, please ?!

Hello Fabby!
What is this script ? Is a head of the code on the conky, maybe ?!

If you mean my code:

  • ~/.conky/conkyrc
  • Scripts under: ~/.conky/conky_scripts
