[SOLVED] MX-antiX17 Conky

#1 Post by Bartman »

Hello,

I prefer using MX-antiX17 Conky however the eth0 up and eth0 down don't work and I was wondering if there is a simple easy solution to get this to work.

Thanks

Yes, just open MX Conky and select MX-antiX17 -> Edit, and you'll see that wlan0 is too often used instead of eth0, which was a typo "bug" due to copiing the identical looking lines to often
Just change the first two "wlan0" to "eth0".

Hello felix,

A little bit confusing however you put me where I needed to go and then I saw what needed to be changed.

Success I got it working. :clap: I had to change several lines from wlan to eth0 before eth0 up and eth0 down worked.

It appears to be working correctly now. :cool2:


Thanks for your help. :yourock:

P.S. What's really cool about solving this issue is that I learned something new. :cool2:

Thanks again.
