How to get Specific Conky scripts to work?

[TinMan1325]

Looks like more is working already.. if i'm correct the info is now shown in the conky window, is that correct?

What i gather from the log is that the blurred background does not work.
conky: Unable to load image '/home/tinman1325/.conky/conky_blurred_background/gpu-info.png'

And what is not clear to me is this message..
sh: 1: 4: not found

Do you have convert installed?

Nothing opens up when I select it in the conky manager

I'm not sure what convert is. Do you mean "convertall"?

[Koentje]

No i believe it is part of Imagemagick.

if you give this command on the terminal, what does it say?
convert

Oh I think I have it

image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as
'-' for standard input or output.

Ok, then blurred background does not work for some reason. But i see you don't use a background, so it is pointless then!
I can change the script and pull that one out if you wish.

And i think i know why nothings shows... have you set the correct placement on the screen? I have a widescreen with a high resolution and had it placed on the right side.. maybe it is outside of your resolution?

[Koentje]

Shit, i have to edit all the paths again or else it won't work on my system.

Yeah I guess blurred background is kind of pointless

Sweet! It's working. It was outside lol. Good catch, I never would have figured that out

Edit: the bar graphs and numbers aren't moving up or down at all though

[Koentje]

Dammn... i wanted to post something and suddenly my IP was blocked by Sucuri Firewall of this website. Could not post anymore!?

But ok, we have a window.. can you go into the conky script and comment out the line that has the conky-blurred-background in it..

[Koentje]

And i know why nothing is moving.. i see that all the values are from the gpuinfo.tmp i created myself. So the script gpuinfo.sh does not start. I made a booboo..

Go into the conky script and find the first line:
${exec 4 /home/tinman1325/.conky/gpuinfo/gpuinfo.sh}\

Change the word exec into execi

That also explains the error that i couldn't understand!

[Koentje]

And i just found another small error in the lua script! That is why the gpuload bar does not show.
You have to go into the lua script. There you see 4 blocks in the beginning.. labeled
-- bar for Frequency
-- bar for RAM
-- bar for Temperature
-- bar for GPU load

Go to the block GPU load and the second line under that:
arg="cat $HOME/.conky/gpuinfo/tempfiles/gpuinfo.tmp | head -n17 | tail -n1",

Change that into:
arg="cat /home/tinman1325/.conky/gpuinfo/tempfiles/gpuinfo.tmp | head -n17 | tail -n1",

Now the gpu load bar will also show!

[Koentje]

The only thing i don't understand is why the colors of the lua bars are off?!
They should be blue at the start and getting orange at the end... for some reason that's the other way around??

[TinMan1325]

It doesn't show that, it says "conky_blurred_background" though, but it has it in there about 16 times. Do I just delete them all?

I'm not sure. Not all of them are working/moving either, the numbers seem to be though

This is what it looks like now

[TinMan1325]

So I figured out how to comment out the blurred background, I was looking in the wrong one, and it seems to have fixed things even more. Everything seems lined up now

Core Clock bar and numbers aren't moving
RAM numbers and bar is working
Temperature numbers and bar is working
Fan Speed numbers are working but bar isn't
GPU load numbers are working but bar isn't

Post the ./tempfiles/gpuinfo.tmp file here as you wil..

[Koentje]

To correct a few placements find this line in gpuinfo.conky:
${image ./images/graphic_card.png -p 10, 3 -s 27x26}
and change the 10 (horizontal alignment of pci card picture) and lower this to 4
change the 3 (vertical alignment) into 0

Find this line:
${image ./images/nvidia2.png -p 5, 56 -s 78x78}
and change the 5 (horizontal) into 0
and change the 56 (vertical) to 51

This should align the graphics a little better! Of course you can adjust it to your own taste..
For the workings of your bars i'll have to wait for you to post the gpuinfo.tmp.

I didn't see any difference with the first one but the second one made it nicer

[Koentje]

The first one is that little white pci-card icon.. its moved a little to the left and up.

But it seems that the script does output.. maybe watch it?
Go into the ./tempfiles folder and start this command on the terminal: watch -d cat gpuinfo.tmp
This command keeps an eye on the file and shows the changes. Now do something that is heavy on the graphic card and watch if the values change.

Oh wow you're right. The bar graph for GPU load does not work though, everything else does

Is there a way to change the colours of the bar graphs? I'd like them to have the same colours as the bar graphs on CPU and RAM

This thing is awesome by the way, thanks a lot for setting it up

Lets fix things first before we do cosmetics..
When you watched the values.. did the 3th last one also change value?
If you go into gpuinfo.sh at the bottom you can see which value is what. I numberd them, shown after each value.
$gpuload is number 17.
