Help with Conky config LM18.1

[idle]

Hi,

Will someone be so kind to help me set up Conky so everything works? Here's what it looks like so far:



What do I need to adjust in the config file?

Thanks for the help

I've made some changes from the image above, but I can find how to change the clock format. Anyone know what I need to change in the config file to change time format?



Also the the CPU / GPU temps. I seem to have two temp readouts for the GPU. I am wanting to get rid of the one on the bottom left and just leave the two temp readouts in the center.

This is the line that I have, can anyone explain what I need to change.

Code: Select all

$alignc${color7}CPU: ${color3}${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C ${color7}GPU: ${color3}${execi 60 nvidia-settings -t -q GPUCoreTemp}°C

Thanks

Post your conky config file please.

Thanks for the help

I managed to find the time format searching online. Its just the temps and any other problems you my find as I've butchered the config file a bit today

I've also noticed that the download total is massive. Turned on pc this morning, but have been out all day. Come home and it says total downloads is 1.66GB

Is this right, is there a program to check this? or a different Conky config for LAN?

You might find some ideas about configuring Conky in the example configs on my website:

About the download amount: you might be suffering from the default setting for browser.sessionstore.interval in Firefox: https://www.servethehome.com/firefox-is ... to-fix-it/

enp4s0 says the script. so that must be RX or TX or both in

I've rebooted since posting as I was following Pjotr guide and had to reboot after updating GRUB.

I'm also now trying a different Conky Network Config to see if that changes anything:
