Conky Showoff thread

[jompa89]

Hi! my name is Jean-Pierre, I have a question, is lua difference between LM 12 and LMDE , because the same conky-lua is not working in LM 12
but work on LMDE.
The shell response on every symbol '=' is :

Code: Select all

 conky -c /home/bushi12/.conky/scripts/conkyrcConky: llua_load: /home/bushi12/.conky/scripts/clock_rings.lua:262: unexpected symbol near '='
Conky: desktop window (1000024) is subwindow of root window (18e)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2a00001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_clock_rings execution failed: attempt to call a nil value
Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_clock_rings execution failed: attempt to call a nil value

but the symbol '=' is important :

Code: Select all

clock_x=190
clock_y=297

show_seconds=true

require 'cairo'

function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)
    return ((colour / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((colour / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (colour % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end

Somebody know this problem and how to fix it ?
Thanks

My conky setup that worked in LMDE doesn't work in Mint 12 either. Anyone has a solution?

[minitrucker]

did either of you redownload the fonts required to run the clocks and what not? Most of those things are font sets and the font library on mint isn't all that big really. Just a thought.

[jompa89]

I didn't install ant fonts on LMDE while I used that, and I don't know if there are any differences between this in LMDE and Mint 12.

[SuiCiDeSiNiSReR]

heres mine...3 different conkyrc's plus 2 clock ring lua scripts. took a lil bit from several others conky's and made this. originally i had used this on ubuntu 10.04 but switched to Mint 9 KDE and had to do alot of work to it to get it to work on here.

What icon pack is that? It looks really good! And which version of Mint is that?

[morpheus2k12]

Here's my updated version, pretty happy with it now. I'm using the Awoken White icon pack with the latest version of linux mint 12.



Awoken Folder Icon's:



To customize the Awoken icon theme pack do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alecive/antigone
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install awoken-icon-theme
awoken-icon-theme-customization

Then Follow Instructions.

I went from Mint 11 with Conky working fine to Mint 12 experiencing the same issue as jompa89. My Lua bindings are the same, see below.
Anyone know why Conky doesn't work properly in Mint 12? I have Cinnamon running in my install. Could that be an issue?

This is taken from a somewhat existing layout. I'll be changing the large clock font up and I'm going to have email and RSS feeds in the space between the Banshee track and weather. I like integrating conky with the desktop behind it. Gives it kind of a zen feel, eh? I just wanted to upload with my progress. When it's done I'll share code / files / etc.
