Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

copy conky.conf to your MyDocs folder (/home/user/MyDocs/)
edit it: replace ${battery_short} with ${execi 10 hal-device bme |awk -F"[. ]" '$5 == "is_charging" {chrg = $7}; $5 == "percentage" {perc = $7} END if (chrg == "false") {print perc "%"} else {print "Chg"}'}

enjoy your decreased battery life and non-updating percentage.

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

thank you Creamy :)
it works:) thank you so much
but why did u say "enjoy your decreased battery life and non-updating percentage" what does this means? is this command not good?
please can u explain me?:)

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

maybe you should check... with conky

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

but battery life have not decreased , percentage is always updated :)
so where's the problem? :D

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

just focus on the cpu usage of Conky. it should use extra every 10 seconds as it opens a command prompt to check the battery level. try with and without that change.

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

just installed it. i prefer this accurate battery and temperature reading than the previous .conf that I was using.

It's currently running at a consistent 8-10%CPU and 2+% of memory....

so that's quite a lot of running CPU.. but I'll see how it is throughout the day

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

how hard is it to test before and after making the change?

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

I recently tried to get this working on the N9 / N950 but am now stuck because it seems impossible to get double buffering to work as the "dbe" module is missing from X11. I think we will find a solution but cannot guarantee it. Flickering conky is still better than no conky, so if anyone wants to try it, here's a link: http://www.appcheck.net/storage/headache.zip
DONT install that on an n900, it's got enough changes made to it that it won't work.
DO dpkg -i all 3 debs from the command line, conky last, and if it has any other missing stuff you can probably apt-get install them.

Hi!
I need help.
I just updated my kernel to version 48 and my conky doesn't show the battery temperature anymore.
What can I do?
Thanks.

Hello there. To fix Your problem, you should learn how to use "search" option in forum, cause Your question was asked millions of times, and answered as much, even on this very thread.

Sincerely,

lol yeah you beat me.
if you can't find the answer we are happy to help, but it's a pretty common problem. try searching with google if the forum search isn't helping.

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

Isn't easier and better to write this line like this :
${execi 10 hal-device bme | awk /battery.charge_level.percentage/'{print $3"% "}'} ?

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

why don't you just help him out, and copy/paste solution ?!

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

First of all, You're banging on half-a-year old thread without any reason.

As for Your question - because we do not like to breed laziness ;) LMGTFY, or what?

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

Please help me. Conky starts to show -1% battery with bq27x00_battery module loaded. With BME %% showing okay but lower. What can i do?
Old backup restored by backupmenu but conky still showing -1% battery.

Re: [Updated May 23] Conky 1.9.7 n900 edition
 

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:

can somebody explain what is the problem and how to solve?

Thank you

Re: [NEW] Conky 1.8.5 n900 edition
 

Using power kernel v52, I see the uevent stuff is actually in /sys/class/power_supply/rx51-battery/uevent

I can read the uevent file. But since /bq27200-0/ is hardcoded (see first post), what can one do to get conky to read from rx51-battery?

Re: [NEW] Conky 1.8.5 n900 edition
 

Nobody? Ok...i've created a Queen Beecon Widget to display the battery temperature. Here's the command line for it:

Note the code will exit 0 if the temperature is less than 35 C, else exit 1 if it's less than 40, else exit 2. This can be used in QBW to select the widget background color, e.g. red when the battery gets hot.

Re: [NEW] Conky 1.8.5 n900 edition
 

changing it in Conky sourcecode and pushing updated version. It should be trivial to do, I might take look on it when I have free time (which most likely mean I won't look at it 'till I die of old age, sadly. so, feel free to implement my theorizations in practice ;) ).

/Estel

Re: [NEW] Conky 1.8.5 n900 edition
 

Please clarify. Did you change it or are you postponing until old age? What'd you mean by theorizations?

Also, using USB Mode, after switching to "USB host mode (with boost)", which "stops BME", conky will read display some temperature, which also seems to have tenths of a degree Celsius (unlike in the uevent file); I have not applied any conky update of yours yet. Would you know how/why?

Re: [NEW] Conky 1.8.5 n900 edition
 

No idea about that strange temperature reading - I use usbmode with BME replacement (the latter all the time), so in my case, nothing is stopped.

Theoretizations in practice - it just meant that someone may do those changes I've described in practice. No, I haven't had to extract Conky's source code and look for it.
