My modified version of MX-MyConky [Solved]

[asqwerth]

Some issues:
1. I reverted the system info section at the top to the original, since yours hardcodes "mx 23.5 fluxbox"

2. The position of the memperc grad bar for each version has to be adjusted because yours is set for a conky displaying gradbars for 12 cores. So with only 4 cores, my memperc gradbar is showing up positioned below the network stuff.

Some issues:
1. I reverted the system info section at the top to the original, since yours hardcodes "mx 23.5 fluxbox"

I was trying to remember how to cut the output down and just hard-coded the name.

2. The position of the memperc grad bar for each version has to be adjusted because yours is set for a conky displaying gradbars for 12 cores. So with only 4 cores, my memperc gradbar is showing up positioned below the network stuff.

Good catch. I'll fix the conky's 2-12 over the weekend so that the membar aligns properly.
In the memory section

Code: Select all

${lua gradbar {4, 827,

should be this for a 4 core system.

Code: Select all

${lua gradbar {4, 430,

Thanks.

I've been thinking of whether there is some command to identify the number of cores, and then in the same way that fehlix modded the original conky with the 'if_up' and 'else' commands to identify and display the actual network being connected, maybe there is a way to use the 'if_match [whatever the variable is] == [number of cores]' or some other similar command to set out all the different core bar lines in one single conky.

It will be long, but at least there will only be one other conky in MX-MyConky.

Thanks.

maybe there is a way to use the 'if_match [whatever the variable is] == [number of cores]' or some other similar command to set out all the different core bar lines in one single conky.

Possibly but what I'm seeing is the first number is the pixel start count from the left and the second number is the pixel start count from the top. ${lua gradbar {4, 365

Nothing to do with the gradbar command and the pixel numbers . I think you're misunderstanding my thought/idea. I'm out right now. When I get home, I'll do some research.

OK, here's my proof of concept single conky that handles 2 scenarios: when cpu has 16 cores, and when cpu has 4 cores, because I only know the position of the memperc gradbar for the 4 and 16-core conkies. You can copy and paste for the other number of cores/gradbars once you know the positions of the memperc gradbar in each of those cases.

I used:

Code: Select all

${if_match ${execi 86400 grep -m1 -oP '^cpu cores\s+:\s\K(.*)' /proc/cpuinfo} == [insert the various numbers of cores]}  ..... ${endif}

to set out the condition to be satisfied. This is adapted from the same grep line used to identify the cpu name just a few lines above the lua gradbar lines.

The conky config is:

Code: Select all

Yes you have! I will test @asqwerth's suggestion weekend as I have a range of cores up to 12.

Thanks to both for the work.

cool.

Just to let you know, siamhie uses

own_window_type = 'override',

in his conky, but

the original MX version of this conky [and most conkies in our collection] use

own_window_type = 'normal',

In override mode, the argb settings don't work with display compositors to give transparency or partial translucency. At least not in XFCE. I get an opaque black rectangle behind the conky with 'override'. I left his conky with the 'override' setting, but for my own use I've switched back to 'normal' so I can set translucency.

Maybe fluxbox is different?

[davidy]

Interesting. After opening conky mgr and hitting one of the buttons at the top it stopped displaying the conky choices and no matter what I did all I got was a blank gui so I completely removed it. Which is not possible without removing mx-apps too. If nothing else at least the xanmod 6.12.10 rt-kernel v3 is working on my laptop. That's kinda cool.

please start a new thread with this issue because this thread is about creating a new conky config, not about conky manager's potential problems (which I have not encountered).
