[Solved] Paconky package list

ancleessen4 · 2010-11-11 18:47:25

Is anyone using Paconky?
I am not sure how to get the packages to display.
I can get the number of updates but not the package list

see in conky below;

AUR status shows 2 new updates but it should also be possible to list the packages.

Post your configuration file.

Also considering using the alternative script posted on the Paconky project page.

@Xyne
I used these as per your Arch thread;
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68104&p=1

repos.paconky

#SET MSG_0 up to date
#SET MSG_1 1 new pkg
#SET MSG_N %N% new pkgs
#
${color1}repo status ${alignr}${color2}%MSG%${voffset 5}
${color3}%PKG_NAME% ${alignr}%PKG_VER%

aur.paconky

#SET AUR_MSG_0 up to date
#SET AUR_MSG_1 1 new pkg
#SET AUR_MSG_N %AUR_N% new pkgs
#
${voffset 10}${color1}AUR status ${alignr}${color2}%AUR_MSG%${voffset 5}
${color3}%AUR_PKG_NAME% ${alignr}%AUR_PKG_VER%

and my conky entries;

${execpi 3600 paconky /home/neil/.scripts/repos.paconky}
${execpi 3600 paconky /home/neil/.scripts/aur.paconky}

EDIT: I wonder if this is due to voffset and the position of Paconky in my Conky??
ie. the AUR package updates I had were being cut off-I will look at this later.

EDIT #2: I think it is solved with your perl script.
I will post a screen shot asap and mark post solved-still testing...

I used your perl script with conky centre correction;

Solved.

Just as a follow-up, there is a chance the conky cropped the output. This can be avoided by increasing the "text_buffer_size" variable in the conky configuration file.

That should apply to the Perl script too.
