Have you fixed now ConkyLayoutSwitcher?

Haven't used it as a livewallpaper... and I would say it drains the battery far to fast.
Have you made a good experience regarding the battery?

After my experience creating ConkyLayoutSwitcher I'm not very pleased with the fact how Conky works at all... hmm...

@helex, when type conky, it now loads the right layout. And LS works now, too. But mysteriously, when I use Conky as a live wallpaper, even though its the classic v.1.6.1 layout, the wallpaper now flickers and goes blank like the newer version, which was why I replaced it in the first place. Must be something about LS making even live wallpaper misbehave

Ouh, in this case... I'm sorry.

As soon as you are installing ConkyLayoutSwitcher you get the newest Conky, too. Otherwise my Layouts would look very ugly. And you have only replaced the new Layout file with the old one. So, new Conky, old Layout!

Sadly the flicering seems to be because of a bug in the newest Conky version.

Until this Bug gots fixed you have to make a choice.

Hi,

I just installed the LayoutSwitcher and I'd like to make a suggestion:
Don't make it a Statusbar applet.
My Statusbar menu is cluttered already.
I'd like to be able to switch layouts via the app dropdown menu.
If that's not possible then maybe hide the Statusbar applet until conky is running.

Regards
Aydan

Thanks for the suggesstion. Sadly I'm umable to add a menu to Conky. I'm currently only manipulating Conky with this application and have no access to this part. But hopefully I'm soon able to release a own rewrite of Conky with a complete tochscreencompatible userinterface. Be patient.

I will look if I could hide the statusbar applet if conky is not running. Good idea. But personally I prefer to use it to startup Conky this way.

hello. im using Conky + layout switcher without any problems for a long time, but now after i start any conky layout...a strange green overlayed message appear...that is not clearly readable....but is something like this:

<h3 style="font-size: 30px;"> This domain name has expired.</h3>
<h4 style="font-size: 16px;">
In order to restore the domain and continue the service you will need....
also not completely readable as it exit the screen

as a newbie, can somebody explain what is the problem and how to solve?

if i start conky from terminal...it appears the simplest one without any layouts and without the error message

how can i start conky with a certain layout, (for example cpu, or disk usage layout) from terminal to see if some error is given?

Thank you

Without seeing your specific conky conf file it's speculation, but I assume your script is trying to connect to a http adddress, probably to get your external IP address or so, and that http address can no longer be reached.

Find an alternative, edit the conf file: Presto.

thanks, i opened with leafpad the file /etc/conky/conkyNetwork.conf

and i saw a wget line connecting to myip.ozymo.com

if i enter that url in a browser it appears the same message i saw in conky!

This domain name has expired.
In order to restore the domain and continue the service you will have to contact your registrar immediately.
i never tried to modify the conky config files, so is the original url

how can i modify to avoid error messages?
