There is no clock like this as one user said
"It's pure and utter MADNESS, like some mystifying marvelous work of a mad scientist."
This should work on any full conky installations irrespective of linux distro or flavour. I run it on LinuxMint12 KDE.
To appreciate this clock you need to see it move. Check the links for the 2 minutes duration video.
Revolutionary clocks comes in 4 sizes
HD, midi, mini & supermini
It is distinguished from other such clocks by the clock rings not having a fixed starting position but rather move as a function of time and likewise expand circumferentially as a function of time.
It is fully configurable.
The lua script is explained in the c_c_s_explanation.txt file.
To install just move or copy the " .Conky " hidden folder to your user/home folder! (note capital C for .Conky)
Remember to install the fonts!
To run, execute ' start_conky.sh '
To enable conky to start with the system go to " startup applications " and add in the " command " the file
" .Conky/revolutionary_clock/...x.../start_conky.sh "
where ...x... signifies the desired conky size e.g. rev_hd.
e.g. test in terminal
conky -c $HOME/.Conky/revolutionary_clocks/rev_hd/conkyrc &
Enjoy!!!
p.s.
pls leave feedback or improvements etc.
Also score it if your a member.
This will only work in conky 1.9.x.
it will not work in 1.10

try in terminal.... hddtemp /dev/sda
if it works then normal user has access. f it doesnt repeat with sudo before it
to make normal user get access. in terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
chose yes for first and then default for the rest
repeat step before to ensure normal user can read hddtemp
then in lua script try:
name='execi 10', arg='hddtemp /dev/sda -n'
hope it works as had to play for a while to get it right on mine
hddtemp and lua dont play well together
let me know how you get on

'..._clr='
from "0xffffff" ...which is white
to say "0xff0000"....which is red, I think
hex colour codes can be found at places like

post the error that is returned in the terminal.
the lua script and conkyrc should both be owned and running as user and not root. If there is a mismatch that can cause a problem
