Since Torsmo is no longer being actively developed, I found an alternative that is. It is a drop-in replacement that can use the same config file you were using with Torsmo.
I haven't had time to get a PKGBUILD made yet, but the homepage url is: http://conky.rty.ca/ and the sourceforge page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/conky/
If anyone has time to make a PKGBUILD it would be greatly appreciated. :-) Otherwise, I'll make one as soon as I get a chance and post it.
Thanks, and have a great day!

There already is one, thanks to Mr Green...

DOH!

Doooh, indeed! ;-)
I checked the forums, but missed aur.
Mr Green, quick question:
I see that it's version 1.0. I got that one to compile fine, but the new version 1.1 doesn't. Have you tried 1.1 yet?
Thanks!!

I've tried 1.1 and got the error. I think it's due to a missing #include statement. I might investigate further.
BTW, what's the advantage of using conky instead of torsmo (besides development activity). To me it seemed that it was the same program!

I got 1.1 to compile by putting procps into the build directory and recompiling, as thats was what is couldnt find for me (even though it was installed).
Unfortuantely this doesnt work for the 1.2 (dev) version, even thought is seems to bail out of the compile on the same thing.
The main advantage for me so far over torsmo is the build in mpd support, it also has some other new features but I havent really explored them yet.

Just judging by the screenshot, it seems like the font is antialiased, as opposed to torsmo's (not that it matters too much).

I got 1.2 to compile.
It needs includes file that "should" be in procps pkg. I'll submit a bug report.

Hi,
Snowman is right 1.2 requires procps to be able to compile it .....
**EDIT have updated conky to 1.1 ...
I am hosting package atm as it includes /proc files needed by build
please let me know if its ok

xft used to be a compiletime (read ./configure) option in torsmo.

./configure --help

Conky has most of Torsmo features plus some new tricks

Thanks to Judd, this missing header problem will be fixed in next procps pkg:

Hey, guys - I am hosting a CVS version of this in my [dibble] repo but I also wanted to say if you guys haul ass over to the AUR and get voting then this will happily go straight into [community]
I see it has no votes yet
Offline
Alrighty, I'm a little dense this morning... How do I go about voting? :-)
*EDIT* - well it helps if I actually log "IN" on the AUR.. :oops:

I take it the reason for your pm is also resolved? I was quite shocked as it spontaneously disappeared from my inbox!

:oops: Yep! Thanks, though!
I noticed I hadn't logged in.. Once I logged into AUR, I cast my votes on all of my favorites. ;-)

any idea how to get conky working in a good way in e17?
Offline
define "working in a good way" -> What problems is it giving you?

We'll probably need more details... what window manager are you using and how are you starting conky?

Try using a smaller update interval in your ~/.conkyrc:
# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1.0

I'm still not really sure how you are starting Conky, but if you are starting it from within E17, maybe try starting it in your .xinitrc file, instead:
conky &
