Customised conky on Arch ...

Here is the setup that I want to build :

http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/09/27/g … u-desktop/

My problems :

Weather is not shown

Hd temps is no shown also

Kdemod 4.3.2 don't show transparency

You can see my .conkyrc with my problems listed down as comment code here :

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Now when you say you followed the tutorial perfectly, did you change 'sudo apt-get xyz' for 'sudo pacman -S xyz' ? (Assuming you have sudo setup.)

Also, run conky from the terminal and see what error messages it outputs. Post them if you get any.

I have the changes needed for Archlinux, I'm not a fool pacman -S stuff and lm_sensors instead of lm-sensors ...

Will fix any problems related to commands in there.

As for nc, that's the command for netcat. It's in the defualt Ubuntu install, but not in arch. Install netcat and try again.

For some reason you don't have privileges to 'weather'

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Try this:

sudo chown -r mike ~/weather

Try `chown --help' for more information.

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

So did you try what the program suggested? Read its manual?

I guess not roll

The correct option is an uppercase R.

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Now :

[mike@inspiron1501 ~]$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1c00090) is subwindow of root window (f6)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x5200001)

Conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state: No such file or directory

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Then you sholud take out the battery lines, if this is a desktop. You should keep in mind this is a one-size-fits-all script that you have to adapt to your needs. For HD temperature, you need to install hddtemp and run it as a daemon. Read the conky documentation to find out how you enable a transparent window.

Oh, and - show some initiative wink. The most important thing about being an Arch user is doing stuff yourself instead of just waiting around until someone comes along with the solution.

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Expanding on what B said, avoid tutorials for Ubuntu/Fedora/<really big distro here> unless you're able to fill in the gaps of what Arch doesn't have out of the box that distros like Ubuntu do, like netcat and sudo.

${color F8DF58}${font StyleBats:size=16}8${font}  Battery: ${battery_percent}% ${battery_bar}

That's the line in the conkyrc that's trying to get battery status.

own_window yes

That's probably why transparency wont work. Change it to no.

Re: Customised conky on Arch ...

Google on how to get a transparent conky with KDE 4. This is the newbie corner, but it's no free pass for laziness or utter lack of initiative. Are you sure you're not better off with a distro that comes with everything preconfigured?

We have all begin by doing some errors, I'm not a linux specialist but a mid-user, once I will get in touch with Archlinux there will be no big problems left, I will also help a lot of users to begin after ...
