Can't Get Conky Manager for Mint 20

Post by Todd Sauve »

Hi all,

I've upgraded to mint 20 Cinnamon but can't seem to find the Conky Manager anywhere on the internet. Here is what happens in Terminal:

todd@todd-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa

Does anyone know what is going on or is it now discontinued?

Thanks for your reply. But how do I contact him?

In fact, on his PPA page it states: Tony George is not an answer contact for any project.

Tony abandoned conky-manager a long time ago - his PPA provides it for Ubuntu Xenial / Mint 18.x or earlier only.

Forum member zcot has made a forked version which supports the newer conky syntax - https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/ ... 10-support

I've not tried in in Mint 20, but it worked fine in Mint 19.x

Hi guys, yes, it's working with Mint 20 also. I haven't seen any issues yet.

Also, Todd, just to add some clarity for you from above, that command would attempt to install conky and manager. In the case of that old ppa the package name was conky-manager. todd@todd-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo apt-get install conky manager

The format is apt install program1 program2 etc.

But this one installs differently and the instructions are listed, it should build without any problems, just copy/paste. ;)

Coz, I have the worst luck with Conky!

Here is what happened when I entered your command:

todd@todd-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo apt-get install conky manager
[sudo] password for todd:

E: Unable to locate package manager

I did, however, manage to install the Debian Conky Manager 2.4 but it just won't see my .conkyrc file. I've put a copy of it in every conky folder I can find in the file manager but no luck. Version 2.4 doesn't even have an "import file" option on the menu.

Any ideas guys and gals what may be going wrong here?

I'm sorry to be such a pain. Conky seems to be my own personal albatros! :lol:

So I put the - in the command, between the conky and manager like so, conky-manager. This worked better but at the end told me it had already installed the newest version, 2.4.

Why can't I get it to see my simple .conkyrc file?Image

As I said, I've put it in literally EVERY folder that Conky Manager has but it just doesn't seem to pick it up ...

It won't work.

smurphos already mentioned why, and what to do.

I would suggest, although I suppose it's not going to hurt anything if you don't do it, but run terminal command apt purge conky-manager. And go delete that debian file too, it's no good for this case.

go there: https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2 and scroll down and it says something like HOWTOINSTALL.

We'll be glad to help if you run into issues.

Re: Can't Get Conky Manager for Mint 20

OK Coz! We have it up and running now with Conky Manager 2.7, installed using the instructions you pointed me to!

Thanks a million! You have rescued me again! 8) 8) 8)

I have only one problem. My previous CPU was an Intel i4770K but I just rebuilt my PC with all new gear. I now have an ASUS X-570 Plus TUF Gaming motherboard and an AMD 3700X with 8 cores and 16 hyperthreads. (And 32 GB RAM.) But now my conky isn't showing the temperatures of the 8 cores on the AMD 3700X.

Is there a different or additional Sensors package that I must install to get the temps to show up?

sensors output varies depending on hardware so you'll need to run it to have a look at what output is available on your new hardware.

Then test and adjust the relevant lines from your conky to suit.

Thank you so much Smurphos!

Here is what the sensors command says:

todd@todd-System-Product-Name:~$ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie: +53.2°C (high = +70.0°C)
Tctl: +53.2°C

todd@todd-System-Product-Name:~$

I posted all the data in my .conkyrc file a couple of posts upward in this thread. Do you perchance know what I should change in it to get it reading the temp sensors? If you could type out what needs changing and show me where it goes that would help me tremendously. I'm such a newbie in experience with Linux. Sorry I need all this hand holding!

OK - you are getting very limited output from sensors on your new hardware - just an overall CPU temp - nothing per core or for any other sensors on your system.

If you want to see if there are more outputs available you will need to go through the sudo sensors-detect process. Before deciding to do that read the warning from man sensors-detect

Code: Select all

WARNING
       sensors-detect  needs  to access the hardware for most of the chip detections.  By definition, it doesn't know
       which chips are there before it manages to identify them. This means that it can access chips in a  way  these
       chips  do  not  like,  causing  problems  ranging from SMBus lockup to permanent hardware damage (a rare case,
       thankfully.)

       The authors made their best to make the detection as safe as possible, and it turns out to work just  fine  in
       most cases, however it is impossible to guarantee that sensors-detect will not lock or kill a specific system.
       So, as a rule of thumb, you should not run sensors-detect on production servers, and you should not  run  sen‐
       sors-detect if can't afford replacing a random part of your system. Also, it is recommended to not force a de‐
       tection step which would have been skipped by default, unless you know what you are doing
The process does warn if any particular step is potentially dangerous and offers to allow you to skip that step.

Here is what the first command returned:

<pre><font color="#8AE234"><b>todd@todd-System-Product-Name</b></font>:<font color="#729FCF"><b>~</b></font>$ sudo sensors-detect
[sudo] password for todd:
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0

# Kernel: 5.4.0-40-generic x86_64
# Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor (23/113/0)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you&apos;re doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): yes

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don&apos;t find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): y
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS&apos; at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC&apos; at 0xca8... No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): y

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): y

Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `k10temp&apos; (autoloaded):

Driver `nct6775&apos;:
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Nuvoton NCT6798D Super IO Sensors&apos; (confidence: 9)

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
nct6775
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!

Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)n

Unloading cpuid... OK

<b>NAME</b>
sensors-detect - detect hardware monitoring chips

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
sensors-detect is an interactive program that will walk you through the
process of scanning your system for various hardware monitoring chips,
or sensors, supported by libsensors(3), or more generally by the
lm_sensors tool suite.

sensors-detect will look for the following devices, in order:

• Sensors embedded in CPUs, south bridges and memory controllers.

• Sensors embedded in Super I/O chips.

• Hardware monitoring chips accessed through ISA I/O ports.

• Hardware monitoring chips reachable over the SMBus or more gen‐

Thanks - the second command man sensors-detect displays the user manual for the command. The idea was for you to read before proceeding.

Still you've run through the process without apparent issue so the next step is to add the extra detected monitoring chip

This command will open the relevant config file in a terminal based text editor (if you've never run it before it will ask you to choose an editor - stick with the default)

Code: Select all

sudoedit /etc/modules
Then add the lines

Code: Select all

Hopefully this is an easier to read copy of the text in my Conkyrc file. Anyone who would lije to use this conky is welcome to make a copy for yourself. It is quite simple but looks great!

OK, here is what "sensors" shows:

<pre><font color="#8AE234"><b>todd@todd-System-Product-Name</b></font>:<font color="#729FCF"><b>~</b></font>$ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie: +53.6°C (high = +70.0°C)
Tctl: +53.6°C

<font color="#8AE234"><b>todd@todd-System-Product-Name</b></font>:<font color="#729FCF"><b>~</b></font>$
</pre>
Locked
