Re: editing my conky script
You mean "view your /home partition in the conkyscript?
- /home $color${fs_used /home}/${fs_size /home} ${fs_bar /home}
Re: editing my conky script
might be a rookie question I am not sure if I am already suppose to know but the Conky script is in my /etc. actually its /etc/conky.
there are 2 items in the conky folder. Conky.conf and Conky_no_x11.conf. Which one gets edited. and what command do I use to edit that script. I have never edited a conky script or seen if the forums where anyone has.
I really appreciate the help on this

Re: editing my conky script
the systemwide conky config is found in /etc/conky. Put a .conkyrc in your homefolder. The .conkyrc will be read before the system try to load the systemwide config-file. Do all changes in /home/youusername/.conkyrc
and then edit the .conkyrc in your /home/user/ folder
- $ cp /etc/conky.conf ~/.conkyrc
$ gedit ~/.conkyrc
and then edit the .conkyrc in your /home/user/ folder

willie42@linux12 ~ $ cp /etc/conky.conf ~/.conkyrc
cp: cannot stat `/etc/conky.conf': No such file or directory
willie42@linux12 ~ $
not there.....
I do gedit ~/.conkyrc and just a blank form

Re: editing my conky script
open nautilus and go to root --> etc --> 'find Conky.conf (if you have installed conky it will be there). Copy the file conky.conf and put it in your HOME-folder and rename it to ".conkyrc"
Now open gedit and open the file .conkyrc , remember that you need to "view hidden files" for it to show in nautilus.

Re: editing my conky script
do I do anything with the old files that are in root or leave them there?

Just leave them, you might need them as templates in the future.

Re: editing my conky script
I would like to have a cool looking conky but my knowledge has not increased to that level yet to make such. I really dont now how to even start trying with out fear of goofing something up really bad. So I will most likely mess with the one on here and make little changes and progress from there
