Thanks! It's coming along, but there is more I'd like to be able to do. I think the information is out there, but sometimes there is so much of it that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Plus, my knowledge level is not advanced enough to always recognize when a piece of code or a piece of another .conkyrc file might be tweaked and made to work for my purposes. But I'll keep looking and reading and tweaking and seeing what I can do.

I started Linux with Ubuntu around 2011, i remember very well VinDSL on Ubuntu at that time had a lot of attention and success on the Ubuntu forum.
Many thanks for providing still updates mate.

And a very warm Hello to you too, VinDSL.
I'm glad you decided to join the "Conkystadors"
My "join" date shows me as being newer, but I recently followed TeoBigus and Sector11 here from the #! (Crunchbang) forum.
Wow, I can't believe that I'm actually talking to a legend...
Both you and Kaivalagi are names that everybody that has ever had anything to do with Conky knows and admires.

(Of course, we also have our newcomer legends, like TeoBigusGeekus and Sector11)

I have used one of your old 2010 versions VinDSL Conkies, and I was very pleased with it.
I just "copy/paste" saved this new one, but there are lots of things that are missing, such as a "lua" script (or maybe more than one???).
Personally, I hate lua, everything is so much simple without it...
Also, you mentioned some templates and other stuff in your "on the spot" tutorial from your conkyrc file...
Where can we get all of it?
Right now the Conky is not 100% functional, I will try to post a snapshot.
OK, here it is:

And here is the 2010 version, also in a more or less "RAW" state:

And last but not least, this one is my baby:

@VinDSL:

I couldn't help but notice that in your Conkies you use free-form text as input for the processor name, model, etc...

I use this:

${alignr 20}${execi 1000 cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | sed -e 's/model name.*: //'| uniq}

That gives me the processor name and model in this form:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
which is satisfactory for me, but can be further edited, like for example remove the CPU speed, and have only this left:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU

^ Leave that poor cat alone!

Thx Doruletz !

The Conky 1.10.3 version of my script is stable, and I'm thinking about submitting a pull on Brenden's git.

LINK: https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/wiki/User-Configs

I just haven't had a chance to do it yet.

I'll drop a note over here, when I get it done ...

I really hate to pop your bubble here but Kaivalagi started conkyForecast at my request and I'm the second poster in the thread he started for it. I've been pumping out and helping people with conkys since 2008. And TeoBigusGeekus started his scripts the same time conkyForecast was out there over on the Ubuntu forums - May 11th 2009, but then moved them to ARCH and finally #! - so we are not exactly "newcomers". Also if memory serves me correctly "Conkywx" was 'forked' from TeoBigusGeekus's scripts

Maybe you remember ConkyHardcore and ConkyPitStop. Or this HOW TO: A Beginners Guide to Setting up Conky that is the basis for Ubuntu's "SettingUpConky". That's me.

None of this is to belittle VinDSL's contribution to conky which is quite fantastic, that can't be denied, but I would not call myself or Teo - newcomers.

nore · 2016-09-29 16:09:24

^I think there's yet another communication gap. One could read "newcomer legend" as "legends appreciated by newcomers".

@Sector11

Doruletz · 2016-09-29 17:59:58

@Sector11:
My apologies, Sector11, I was not aware of any of those facts.
I followed both you and Teo for quite sometime now, and I appreciate your contribution to Conky.
I would like to direct your attention to a previous post of mine, from 21 September, where I uploaded my Conky, if you read the first 15 to 20 lines of my conkyrc file, you will see that both your name and Teo's is there in the thank you section...
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 532#p37532

I will quote myself and post those lines here again...
"# ### My many thanks to: ###
# Kaivalagi (the pioneer), who created ConkyForecast, the one that started it all...
# hfcf from Brazil, who first had the ideea of an HTC phone lookalike Conky
# TeoBigusGeekus the Greek Weather Guru and Sector11, the Wizard from Argentina,
# as well many others who contributed to the development of Weather Conkyies.
# Last, but not least, my thanks to quakeguy44, whose Conky Weatherbox script
# was a starting point to create this Conky version, namely he gave me the ideea
# on how to fetch the data from WEATHER.COM without using ConkyForecast, since
# for quite some time ConkyForecast only works for USA locations..."

Anyway, I see no reason for you or anybody else to get upset, this is not a popularity contest or a "Miss Congeniality" pageant...

In any case, I always acknowledged your contribution, as I do for other people.
When I uploaded my Conky HTC Weather on Gnomelook and Deviant Art, I also wrote a thank you note, see the link here:
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1006017/
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Conky-HTC … -348941683

And guess what, your name is mentioned there too...

To conclude, I don't think this reply of yours was in any way called for.
Respect.

Well, with all this commotion about who came first, the chicken or the egg, I almost forgot that I actually came here today to post my newest Conky.....

So, here it is, still a work in progress, but it's already starting to look good:

===============

MOD EDIT:

Please use thumbnails

Click thumbnails to see a larger image (some thumbnails crop the full screenshot).

Do not embed images larger than approx 250x250px (62,500px) into posts, use thumbnails linking to a hosted image instead

We recommend http://scrot.moe for image uploads. Thank you very much, mr.neilypops!!! Use Embed codes>Thumbnail image>BBCode. An example of the code:

[url=https://scrot.moe/image/Z9O8][img]https://scrot.moe/images/2016/07/07/Screenshotfrom2016-07-0717-04-52.th.png[/img][/url]

Avoid the large thumbnail www.imgur.com code, use the "medium" link thumbnail. An example of the code:

[url=http://imgur.com/your_image_code][img]http://i.imgur.com/your_image_codem.jpg[/img][/url]

Notice the m in your_image_codem.jpg in the IMG code block

Another option is www.postimage.org which does a nice job and is Multi-lingual as well. Upload your image to the site and grab the Thumbnail for Forums (1) code.

Example BB-code from imgbox.com:

[URL=http://imgbox.com/xxxxxx][IMG]http://t.imgbox.com/xxxxxx.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
                   ^ fullsize image                ^ thumbnail

Here is a generic piece of code if you need to create your own thumbnail:

[url=http://link.to.your.fullsized.image][img]http://link.to.your.thumbnail.image[/img][/url]

Please use the Report button to let moderators know of images that are too large. Thank you!

@Head_on_a_Stick:

Thanks for that, "Head_on_a_Stick".
They both do the same thing, what is your argument for preferring grep over cat?
I'm not all that proficient with Bash yet, so I take every chance I get to learn something....

OK, thanks.
I will check it out.

Take a look at my newest production, still in the works, but already starting to look nice.

@ nore - I suppose that 'could' be the case but somehow I doubt it.

I also wouldn't call myself a legend nor even think of myself that way ... I'm just a guy that likes to help others with the one thing I know about concerning Linux - conky. I don't do python, perl, LUA, or bash scripts that are extremely popular in conkys ... so that leaves me out of that end of things. Take a look up there are HoaS's "leave the poor cat alone" I would never have thought of that ... nor Doruletz's line either. I'd be more inclined to do things the way VinDSL does - it's not like my CPU (AMD Athlon II X3 450) is going to change every second or even multiple times a week so "free-form text" the way VinDSL does it would be my choice as well. Note that I don't even do that in my conkys, I know what my cpu is, it's the cpu usage that changes.

However, when it comes to scripts, I can tweak 'em, bend, fold, and mutilate them until they either do what I want or I break them. I am not in the same class my conky mentors; Kaivalagi, Crinos512, Falldown, mrpeachy, habitual, vph, Wlourf, jjgomera, aripnux, Sunjack and many others unnamed but no less important to that list as well. These guys create 'scripts' to be used in conky - VinDSL is one of them as well.

@unklar - Thank you.

Looks nice -- a little too elaborate for my needs, but as far as eye candy goes, it looks great . Just curious about something: On the top toolbar toward the right -- is that the same data that's in your Conky or is it something else?
