can't see network in conky[SOLVED]

[klaeje]

i recently canced to wireless and now i can't see the up and downspeed in conky!
i chanced eth0 to ra0 ( what i think is wireless if i run ifconfig) in the configfile
but nothing happens.

I don't think ra0 is your wireless device. Run this command in a terminal:

sudo ifconfig

look to see what your wireless device is - it is probably "wlan0". Then edit the ~/.conkyrc file from eth0 to wlan0 (or whatever) on the appropriate lines.

this is what i get when i run ifconfig

klaas@klaas-desktop ~ $ sudo ifconfig
[sudo] password for klaas:

so i think it is ra0

You are right - it is ra0. So that should work in your conkyrc - there is a recent thread of conky where I have posted my conkyrc with up/download graphs - it should work for you by just changing eth0 to ra0...
