Nice! I did it with the temp-file only because of the cpu cycle issue and because I didn't know you can execute something every n seconds this way. I also haven't seen references to hal-device on the n900 before, so very interesting indeed!

I will be using your hack... er... solution now :)

Of yourse you can see the Information on the status bar. But unfortunatly it is not very acurate (with just 8 Bars)

And Jaysire is using a second script and a temporary file to update the info.

Before finding this thread I thought about a similar solution. I just added

Code:

${color yellow}Battery:$color ${goto 110}${color red}${execi 30 if [ "`hal-device bme |grep "is_charging\|is_discharging" |awk '{print $3;}' |sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n/ /;ta'`" = "false true" ]; then  echo "Charging!"; fi}$color${goto 310}${execi 30 hal-device bme |grep "percentage" |awk '{print $3;}'}%${goto 350}${color green}${execibar 30 hal-device bme |grep "percentage" |awk '{print $3;}'} 











.

to my config, just underneath the SWAP-Info.

This displays the string "Charging!" if the battery is being charged (and not just connected to the PC/Power together wit the percentage and a bar. (see screenshot)
The information is updated every 30 sec to save CPU-Cycles.

The only thing I miss is the option "default_bar_size" which is not available in the current build. With this option the bar would be the right size.

Have fun!

It doesn't work for me if it is charging (displays an empty bar and no "Charging!" message) and I would like to fill the lower right area which is currently unused for this.
How can I do that?

Only the following works (without the charging) and the bar is smaller than the others:

Code:

${color lightgrey}Name                  PID   CPU%   MEM%                        ${goto 380}${color yellow}Battery: ${execi 60 hal-device | grep percen | awk '{print $3"%"}'}

${color #ff6000} ${top name 1}    ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}     ${goto 380}${color green}${execibar 60 hal-device bme |grep "percentage" |awk '{print $3;}'}

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

FYI

When I updated to 44-1, it still says 42-11 in Conky.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Just a question about conky as I was trying to figure out if my wifi remained connected even after I'd already disconnected (wifi bug); will the "wlan0" field show a connection even after wifi has been disconnected?

It should say "Not connected" like the gprs0 connection does when it is not connected, if you are using the default conf file from the package in extras.

Will N900's with the wifi bug (wifi staying connected even after connection has been terminated) show an active conncetion?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

one thing ive noticed is conky mis-reports the firmware version. guessing the 1.2009.42 is a hard coded string cos im running 2.2009.51

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Nope, it should work just fine. My guess is that your device does not know what version it is. That happened to me when i attempted to force the 1.1 upgrade with apt-get.
Try running "uname -a" in xterm and see what it says.

Mine said 42-11 or whatever.

I updated to 44-1 and Uname-a did not change

I updated to 52-1 and it now says unknown. I did all upgrades OTA. Also my Conky still said 42-11 after the first update, and now doesn't say anything at all about FW level. That's just an echo of the hostname I believe. Mine says the Hostname, which I changed.

Reason I changed the Hostname was that after all the upgrades it never changed from 42-11. Also, it was just too freakin' long for my Tastes. Nw it is "Nokia-N900" Short and sweet. I figured if Nokia was going to "miss" it during the upgrades it would read what I wanted rather than an obsolete/incorrect FW level.

N.B to change hostname, open your favorite editor and change /etc/hostname

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Ah. Makes sense. I should have looked in the conf file. I'm a bit embarassed now. The host name shouldn't change with an update, but would do with a reflash.

You're correct there. I just borked my install this evening and had to reflash. Now the Hostname is current FW level and my Ol' friend Conky has the proper FW name! I'm a bit curious why if the Hostname originally had the FW name in it why Nokia didn't have a plan in place to Update the Hostname when the FW updated.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Well, end users would normally be expected/allowed to choose their own hostname. You wouldn't want two hosts with the same name on the same network, for example. So modifying the hostname via update would be a bad plan. A reflash is a fresh install, though, so understandable under those circumstances.

Thank Snafu! I've been trying to figure out how to get the battery percent on here for awhile gave up till I found your old post.

I used just

${color yellow}Battery:$color ${goto 110}${execibar 30 hal-device bme |grep "percentage" |awk '{print $3;}'}

Which gave me "battery: 100%"

I'm a happy camper now.

Just copy / create the code to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

@ DaSilva
Looks good! What file do I have to modify/paste your settings?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Just copy / create the code to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Thanks DaSilva, but there is a small error.
The temp says "38Â°C". How can I remove the Â?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

I am not sure why you have that but I have updated the config a little bit and maybe the problem was solved by that!?
Please try the updated version from my last post (edited).

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Thanks, but it's still there. No big problem for me.
I made a screenshot.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

What is the output for

cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp

?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

The output is just 40

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

That is correct.
Maybe you can take a look at the line in your config. It could be related with Windows <-> Unix format but I am not sure, sorry.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

I had a look but cannot find anything wrong. I copied/paste your code with my N900.

Edit:
When there is a call while Conky is running Conky won't work/update the data after the call.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

My Temp displays incorrectly as well in Conky and I copied/pasted from the forum as well. Could it be a text formatting issue? Everything else in Conky displays well, although I had to massage the way things lined up with spaces...

My output for cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp is:

can't open 'cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp': No such file or directory

Can someone help, it seems it is a syntax issue or something...Love to get my temp up and running....

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

You have to do this in X-Terminal first to enable it (and then reboot):

Code:

sudo gainroot

echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules

http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Battery

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

DaSilva, Thanks for the heads up on that, it now displays the temp.

HOWEVER...

I still have the A with the accent over it along with the temp...getting closer...any ideas?

I saw in the forums that someone else had the A with the accent over it along with the temp, but did not see if they fixed it or how.

Appreciate your help.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Sorry but I don't have that problem here and I don't know where it comes from.
Maybe someone else can help!?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

I did some tinkering with that line in the past few minutes and it is the degree symbol that brings up the A with the accent. If I take the degree symbol out, the A dissappears...

I only see one degree symbol in the extended keyboard....am I missing something? Is there perhaps a degree symbol and another symbol that are similar, yet signal different things to the software?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

I have used the only (and "official") degree symbol that I know and which is available on every keyboard.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

conky seems to start always in own window, i fiddled around a bit with it, but i cant start it on the desktop as a "background".

is there a way to do that?

tia mortak

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

I've not got that to work on Maemo5 and figured that it was more useful in an app window anyway.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

i just want to display some basic stuff in the background, like on a desktop pc.

Today I finally solved the problem. I connected the N900 to my PC in mass storage mode and had a look at the conky.conf file. It was corrupted due to copy/paste the text with my N900 from this thread. With my finger I couldn't mark/copy all the text I think.
I have now copied the code with my PC and saved it into conky.conf. Now the Â is gone.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Good to know, then have fun with the config! :)

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing

Uhh, so we can't change the color of bars in this version? top_io doesn't work? alignr can't take an offset?
Seriously, I'm going to smash something if i keep trying to make this thing look good. 1.6.1 is only about 11 months old, they must have added a lot to this thing recently! I see this getting updated in the near future, better use of my time than discovering all the stuff that is broken.

On the other hand, if you were to tell me that the increased dependencies of latter versions (e.g. Lua) that gave me issues are now satisfied, or that you have satisfied them yourself, then I might be tempted to revisit my earlier efforts and try again with a more modern version. I've been thinking about looking at updating the package anyway, but I'm less inclined to do it soon now.
