Conky upspeedgraph/downspeedgraph not working

stlarch · 2018-04-29 15:24:21

i can't seem to get upspeedgraph/downspeedgraph to work in conky, it shows up for about a split second after i close firefox but then nada.. upspeed/downspeed works, i'm pretty sure i have the scale right, maybe something in the top part isn't right? any help would be appreciated, thanks

Could you check it without the gradient colors and scale (FFA300 EAEAEA 500 and FFA300 EAEAEA 3750)? Are you sure your network interface is enp8s0?
Also, I tried your (graph) settings. I'm not sure how you're going to see anything. Up and down graphs were really really short. Mine are set at 25 to your 10. I also tried your gradients and scale with my box settings (25,100) and nothing showed.

stlarch · 2018-04-30 15:58:48

@peterklarc are you using the graphs? i don't see them in you config, i'm still seeing a little double from last night so let me try to look again kkkk

stlarch · 2018-04-30 16:08:02

@Buddlespit i tried removing the gradients and scale and still nothing, and just about every other combination.. i'm positive that's my correct wired interface, i'm mostly plugged in these days..like i said, upspeed and downspeed work fine, i just can't get the graphs to stay showing.. i see what you mean about it being too small though, thanks.. i'm just trying to get it to show up and then mess with it some more to get what i want, and like i said it shows up for about one second after i close firefox or a terminal and then dissapears again, i can see that it's working though? doidão, it's like the photons through the slit thing, you can shoot them all day long and everyone goes through the slit and then as soon as someone observes them, they change and start going around the slit.. doidão

Hi,
Sorry no I'm not using graphs!!
But maybe try this it's working with me - just add this line to my above conky - the downspeedgraph and the upspeedgraph :

${voffset 15}${offset 20}${font Sans:pixelsize=12}${color FFA300}UP ${offset 9}${upspeedgraph enp8s0 10,200 FFA300 EAEAEA .5}${offset 9}${color FFA300}DN ${offset 9}${downspeedgraph enp8s0 10,200 FFA300 EAEAEA .5}

Part of your configuration compared to mine.
Yours:

own_window yes
own_window_type 'override'
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_argb_visual yes

Mine:

own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'normal',--#try also 'normal', 'override', 'panel', 'desktop'
own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_colour = 'black',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value =75,--#transparency maximum:255(no transparency), minimum:0(full transparency)

I was having issues with the kwin compositor and conky blinking in and out of existence until I had made a couple of changes to the "own_window" set. And I'm not sure what version of conky you're running, but your config looks like the old version. Have you tried updating your config?

stlarch · 2018-05-05 13:02:19

@Buddlespit i'm using conky-all 1.10.6-1, i know it's the old config, it throws an error but seems to work fine otherwise, i noticed a lot are still using the old config, i tried to convert it a while back without any luck.. maybe i'll try it again.. i tried messing with the own_window stuff without any luck either.. i'll keep trying.. @peterklarc i tried that too ugh, thanks for the help though guys.. why you no work conky!!!

Hello
@stlarch see my conky with the new line:
conky imgur
I changed your values of the up/dow graphs. Confirm network name with command iwconfig.
