Using Conky in FatDog?

Post by Neo_78 »

I would like to display a couple of standard system metrics on the desktop of every user (root and non-root) in FatDog using Conky:

https://conky.sourceforge.net/sandbox/

Could you guide me where to place the conky configuration file and how to ensure that Conky starts automatically with that configuration for every user?

Thank you!

Hi@Neo_78 :

I don't know if this can help you, because it is possible fatdog works another way, in this case, excuseme and ignore this message, but I hope it will be useful for some users.

If you go to this drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing you can find all conkies used at devuanpup xfce.fusilli.- I think you can use some of them or modify them according with your needs.

to start it, you must include a file in startup folder using a instruction so start conky at boot.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

sleep 2
conky -c /root/.config/conkyrc2 2>/dev/null &

atached.- remove the fake .tar.gz extension and the words between brackets :thumbup2: :thumbup2:

The conky.conf file is located in /etc/conky/

To launch conky at startup place a startup script in /root/Startup/
A startup script is attached here

I run conky only as a real-time network monitor in the lower right of my screen to keep an eye on things ;)
My conky.conf for anyone curious

------------------
What this conky.conf does is add a single line to the lower right of the desktop. It shows if there is network activity and the speed in KiloBytes per second, (though I wrote the abbreviation wrong - the Kbps should be KBps, can change that on the last line if it bothers). My wireless network is identified as wlan0 in the last line of the conky.conf file, for a wired lan replace the wlan0 with eth0
Pic attached.
