- Conky Ops -

Intro

Well, here we are again, another new toy. This Conky System Monitor looks very interesting. All I have to do now is get it working with my system. I found a good place and am using his stuff for a base. He is using Ubuntu but I'm sure that it all can be adapted to openSuSE 11.1. Conky on Ubuntu 64 Bit - .conkyrc Most of it works right off. I also have a Dual Core Intel Proc and his is an AMD one. In copying his file I got a lot of "Can't finds" or other kinds of errors. But we will research and find the Intel info.

The following is a copy of the .conkyrc from the above mentioned reference. It will be, if it isn't already, marked and corrected to work on my system. You may, and probably will, have to change the same things I am changing.
The last few lines deal with his personal stuff mostly. Power/Batt check for Laptop, checking his mail on gmail and watching the weather. You can keep them if you live in the same area or modify it for your or just delete the code. A big change will be the disk drives.

If the line of text/code goes off the edge horizontally, just click inside the green box and use your arrow keys. Unless... you are using IE 6 or less, then you will have to go to the bottom of the code box and use the scroll bar. IE 6 gave me fits creating this page. (haven't tried 7 yet) You can read about part of it, and the fix, at CSSstyles page. Look at the div display: block section.
And for those of you who would ask, Yes, I did run it thru the WWW code checker before complaining. It was saying my code was ok but still would not work correctly in IE.

## From here down will not work ... at least on my system in my area. I don't have a laptop, no gmail account and my weather is different.

## Will try later to implement this, the weather part. If you don't want or can't use it, you must delete it. Commenting is not sufficient.

##   Laptop Batery check
