Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

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...

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

@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

Good so far... :)

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

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

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.

I guess it is now official and I just wan't to say thankyou. My small Application Conky Layout Switcher participated at our Community Coding Competition and won the 3rd place! Yay! :D

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL VOTERS! :)

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

Congrats. If you guys want to see Conky on N9 anytime soon, vote for this too!

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

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:

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

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

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.

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
 

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!

i never tried to modify the conky config files, so is the original url

how can i modify to avoid error messages?
