some conky help please

chicknfangz · 2016-03-19 22:56:51

I followed these scripts. But need some help can anybody con firm if all is working.

I copied the conky script and made it .conkyrc put it in folder and named it as i wished

then copied the lua script and named it as is in the conkyrc script brush_rings.lua

All is working fine. But the hands arnt showing
on the clock in the picture

and another thing is not sure how to get the colors to show up on either sides of the circle. not sure what we put in for DATA01 ,DATA02 in the conkyrc where it is listed says this.....{fs_used_perc /media/DATA02}%

But mine arnt showing so think have to put a location in not sure.

wasn't much instructions on it.. Please help thank you

"{fs_used_perc /media/DATA02}%" - do you have a directory called "/media/DATA02", and is it mounted?

Double-check the path you have for your lua script. It should be either relative to the conkyrc location (I think), or the full path.

BTW The link you gave isn't very precise. Why not copy the conky code you are using and paste it here, using [ code ] tags....

@chicknfangz

OK, that's pointing to a page over at CrunchBang ... You should find the post with the conky that you are talking about and click on the "date" of the post. That will give you a direct link to that post you can use here as an aid.

Like this... Post 1256

Now I need to know the changes you have made. Please post 'your' conky and the LUA script you have now ... even though it doesn't work.

/media/DATA01 <<--- is a separate partition that muzieca is refering to on his system. You need to replace that with one you have.

For example I could use /media/5 or /media/10 :

Thank you sorry i did not know that. i thought members would now what conky i refer to. Know i know i see you found the conky this is it. let me know if i did this right. Post #1256

damo · 2016-03-20 01:02:31

@chicknfangz

If you run the command for the conky in a terminal, you will see any error messages. This may tell you why the script is failing. Open terminator, type the following command, and press enter (adjust the path to wherever your conky is)

conky -c /path/to/your/conkyrc

Stop all conkys from running with the command "killall conky"

chicknfangz · 2016-03-20 01:29:23

this is the scripts from the post of the conky by default just so we are on the same page.

I did not change anything in the lines of as nothing was stated what to do

{fs_used_perc /media/DATA01}%

{fs_used_perc /media/DATA02}%

lua script:

I did not change anything with this script at all as shouldn't need too.

lua script

--[[
Clock Rings by londonali1010 (2009) , mod by arpinux

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 145 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 (assuming that you save this script to ~/scripts/rings.lua):
    lua_load ~/scripts/clock_rings.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

Now i will show you what i have exactly with an image the lua seems to be working fine but the clock in the middle has no hand so not sure why that is.

Clock Rings by londonali1010 (2009) , mod by arpinux

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 145 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 (assuming that you save this script to ~/scripts/rings.lua):
    lua_load ~/scripts/clock_rings.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

I did not change anything with this script at all as shouldn't need too

Why would you think that? You should change what is needed for your own system. Filepaths and partitions won't necessarily be the same

{fs_used_perc /media/DATA01}%

This shows the "file system percentage used" of "/media/DATA01", and I doubt you have a directory or partition called /media/DATA01. Replace that with what you want to see on your system. (As I suggested to you in a previous post)

I did not change anything in the lines of as nothing was stated what to do

The lua script has

To call this script in Conky, use the following (assuming that you save this script to ~/scripts/rings.lua):
    lua_load ~/scripts/clock_rings.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

Did you change the path to wherever you have put the script?

There are several links to Conky configuration settings and variables in the menu ( Menu -> Help -> Conky -> ). Please have a look at those first.

PS Could you post thumbnails in future, instead of large images? See my sig for a link for Forums formatting

demo. Thats always in the lua file. That is not the file that runs. if you look at the conkyrc script it tells where the lua file needs to be which is in .conky and thats where i have it. named brush_rings.lua

# — Lua Load — #
lua_load ~/.conky/brush_rings.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

Are the rings in the middle for the `fs_used_perc` variables? If so, until you sort out the filesystem paths, maybe they won't display properly.

the rings are in the middle as you see in the screenshot i gave but the hands arnt if you look at the post from crunchbang image and then mine you will see. so not sure what you mean

Yeah, and I can't read it very well, and I'm not going to chase around the crunchbang forums to find a better image, so I'll repeat: are those rings for the `fs_used_perc` variables?

What can't you read very well? my image or the post in crunchbang alls you have to do is click on it up top it brings you right to the conky.

Is this what you mean i opened up the lua file. That showed this which i think are the rings. the other ones are for the /media/DATA0 i still need to change

thats in the lua script

damo · 2016-03-20 05:20:54

That lua script doesn't have any functions for drawing the clock hands, or even getting the time. It would seem that the original sreenshot you are talking about isn't one that shows the script that is posted.

You could search for londonali's original cairo clock script (I think it is on deviantArt) and copy the relevant sections into your script. The same code is also available in some of the BunsenLabs default conkys (BL-Ellipses-Time-*.conkyrc), which you can get from our github. I guess you may not have them installed, because I think you are running Ubuntu?

The geometry of the rings in your screenshot is all wrong though - the arcs aren't concentric, and look ugly IMO.

I got the conky script and lua script here http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. … 752#p86752

Are you saying its missing stuff? And how does my rings and stuff look wrong in the screenshot looks the same to me as the original pic.

Yes i'm using Ubuntu based distro Linux lite. But that shouldn't matter any conky will run

You said it wasn't showing the clock hands. There is no code in the script for getting the time or drawing them.

And if you are asking for help on a BunsenLabs forum, it would be courteous to mention that you aren't using BL. Yes, conkys will run, but I could be wasting my time helping with a fix if you don't have the relevant files on your system. As was demonstrated in your bash script thread-hijack

Guys guys ... please. Sit back and OHM OHM OHM!

damo is/was trying to help you chicknfangz. Whether or not you like how he accomplished that your statement:

DUDE what are you saying you need to stop right now. And learn how to help people the proper way. so STOP right now enough!!! Don't try and help me dude if your going to be a dick about it. I'm done talking to you

... is uncalled for and downright rude.

You both have elements of right and wrong in your posts.

1. There is no code in the LUA script that "draws the clock hands".

2. There is code that gets the some time elements but draws clock based rings with it: Month, Day, Minutes and Seconds.

3. The original screenshot at Crunchbang that muzieca used does not reflect the conky and LUA script posted. It's close, for me the LUA script was edited to add the clock hands but the unedited script was uploaded to the forum.

4. From the LUA script these: {fs_used_perc /media/DATA01}% and {fs_used_perc /media/DATA02}% are "machine specific" and need to be changed to match the machine the script is being used on. IE one could be:
{fs_used_perc /home/<username>}% Not all conkys run on all machines even within the same distros. In my test of this setup I used: {fs_used_perc /media/5}% and {fs_used_perc /media/10}% since they exist here.

5. Fonts - this conky uses: ${font Zarautz:size=16}${time %H:%M:%S} - I don't have that font on my system. This will change the way the conky looks - the font obviously and quite possible spacing; a 90% chance of that. So that will need to be changed and spacing adjusted or have the font installed. I changed it to this: ${font Atomic Clock Radio:size=16}${time %T} just for fun. BTW: %T = %H:%M:%S Already I see other spacing problems.

6. It is important to know what "system" the conky is running on, conky settings need to be adjusted for different DE's and or WM's and or with different composite managers. And I'll add today; it is also important to know what version of conky one is running, conky v1.10 is out and very different to conky v1.9 that we use here at BunsenLabs. The Crunchbang conky thread was a "home ground for people from many different distros to talk about conky", and ran very smoothly with all conky enthusiasts helping each other, unfortunately it is not wanted here but we can still play nice together.
