For some reason on Ubuntu 14.04 the text and the bubbles do not fit. For example, there is no text on the CPU bubble, and on the RAM one it says CPU, and so on. Also there's only the first number of the date, today is 21 and it only says 2.

Hi there,
Fairly new to Ubuntu.. so excuse if some questions are obvious..

after running ' Sudo conky' in terminal i get the following
Conky: desktop window (2600006) is subwindow of root window (250)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x4800001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: curl: no data from server, got HTTP status 404
Conky: curl: no data from server, got HTTP status 404
is this correct ? or not ? or how do i fix this ? i saw a previous post simmilar but not which answer was the fix..

Secondly, after it loads up it looks good for a moment, then the whole thing goes GRAY can still see most of the clocks but the background of it its like a light gray, ?? any fixes for this ?

and lastly.. i assume i dont have to run this command eveytime i boot, will fixing the first error make conky load after every boot ?.. sorry for this long winded post, ive been trying to fix it for hours, lol any help with be appciated, thanks

Don't know if you solved this, but I assume that it goes bonkers because of that 404 error that you get.
Check your URLs (location and temperature), update them if needed.
It's also possible that you have some sort of networking issue depriving from conky to fetch the data.

I'd like to add my WLAN and VPN interfaces. I've edited the lua file, and I get the text to appear when I run conky, but not the rings.

I copied the settings from eth0 and just changed the argument to be wlan0 and vpn0.

Thanks.

Can't seem to get this to work consistently. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

getting "llua_do_call: funcction conky_clock_rings execution failed: attempt to call a nil value"

I installed lua 5.1 (I think that's the version). Sometimes when I start conky works. Wonder if it's an access issue... sudo conky works.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there I had the same issue. Immediately after you call Conky from terminal you should see an error output something like this? :

llua_load: cannot open /home/james/.lua/scripts/clock_rings.lua: No such file or directory

This basically means the conkyrc file is looking for the conky_rings.lua file - which contains the function conky_clock_rings.

Easiest way to fix the issue is in your home folder create a new folder called '.lua' .
The '.' prefix means it will be hidden from normal view so you may way to enable "show hidden files" or the like for your file manager.

Now inside the '.lua' folder create another folder called 'scripts' ,then you want to move the clock_rings.lua file to the scripts folder.

That should solve the problem as we have now created the directory structure which the conkyrc file tries to use and moved the script it requires to the correct place. - Hope this helps :)

Sorry for the double post! Really unsure how I did that...

Another question, in window_mode desktop, is it supposed to disappear when you click? Trying it on normal now to see if that works better.

You need check that 'value' variable in function conky_clock_rings() is not equal to 0, because if you haven't swap you get error 'Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_clock_rings execution failed: attempt to call a nil value'.
With check 'if value==nil then return end' all ok.

There is archive with three themes differ in color as you can see in picture. Choose what you want and replace background clock picture manually. Fedora theme has a blue color.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome classic.

I extracted the tar.gz in my download folder, then extracted the Conky ubuntu-lua.tar.gz
I opened up the folder and renamed the conkyrc terxt file to .conkyrc and moved it to my /home/ directory.

Edited the name of the Conky ubuntu-lua folder to just .conky, and moved it to the /home/ directory

Then I opened up a terminal and typed in:
sudo apt-get install conky-all.

After it installed I rebooted, then opened up a terminal and typed in: conky

After checking everything out I opened up "startup applications".
NAME: conky
COMMAND: conky -p 15
COMMENT: A system monitor for X

First, thanks for your excellent work. Your conky theme is easy to tinker with an looks great.

I made a few modifications that some prospective users might find interesting.

Support for Quad-Core CPU:

(purple conkyrc):
${goto 0}${voffset 35}${color D60650}CPU1 ${color FFFFFF}${cpu cpu0}%${goto 100}${color D60650}CPU3 ${color FFFFFF}${cpu cpu2}%
${goto 0}${color D60650}CPU2 ${color FFFFFF}${cpu cpu1}%${goto 100}${color D60650}CPU4 ${color FFFFFF}${cpu cpu3}%

(lua script mod)
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu0',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.2,
fg_colour=0xD60650,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=50, y=300,
radius=20,
thickness=4,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu1',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.2,
fg_colour=0xD60650,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=50, y=300,
radius=25,
thickness=4,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu2',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.2,
fg_colour=0xD60650,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=150, y=300,
radius=20,
thickness=4,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu3',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.2,
fg_colour=0xD60650,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=150, y=300,
radius=25,
thickness=4,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},

As you can see I just utilized the settings for the network speed rings to show all 4 cpus in less space.

I also did some tinkering with cron and conky so that every 15 minutes my desktop background and color scheme of conky changes to match.

Here's a screenshot:

One other modification I did was change the conky window type to 'desktop' instead of 'override'. Otherwise the conky window would draw itself over EVERYTHING whenever my cron jobs would run. It was actually comical to see it drawn over xscreensaver.
