    conky thread :]

    Decided to start a conky thread since there are at least three of us working with conky and KF5.

    I took my working conky install, commented the heck out of it so folks could see different sections and get some ideas on their own. This commented config *has not been tested* but should be pretty close to what I'm running and will share how to put text inside of graphs, how to change color based on conditionals and how to break up long lines. Posting this now, but when I get home I'll test it, make sure it works the way it's supposed to and then post a final and a screen recording so you guys can see it - but there's lots of ideas here:
    Code:
    -- 
    -- Starting with version 1.10, conky config is following lua format; there are several changes.
    -- all configuration items end with a trailing comma.
    -- all string variables are enclosed in single quotes.
    -- all boolean responses are now true/false instead of yes/no
    -- also notice that comments are two dashes and a space 
    -- until you get into the text area, where # still works.
    -- here we go...

    edit: Tested code above at home, made a couple changes and it works as designed - gif below is running the code in the code block. Lotsa comments in there

    edit v2.0: And the screenshot. Note that while making this gif I mounted an external drive which showed up after mounting and unplugged power to the laptop, forcing cpu governor to powersave. You can see conky's display change with the additional drive and slower CPU speed.

    Very nice post ,,,and work on that explained/commented .conckyrc .

    really like those individual cpu load indicators ,,,,,,,,,but also like my ,,,,"top" type highest-cpu and highest-memory usage indicators ,,as it tells whats pushing the cpu ,,,,,,now I'm torn on what I want ,,,,,,,,,<sigh>

    O ya ,,,,,,,,it looks good as well

      That's a very 'clean' display. I really like the core indicators and how you chose to show the load coloration. This is one of the best non-lua conky displays I've seen in quite awhile.

          Lol hey great thread!
          I thought I'd give it a go, but, unfortunately got this:

          woodsmoke@neon:~$ conky
          conky: desktop window (2200010) is subwindow of root window (4a2)
          conky: window type - dock
          conky: drawing to created window (0x7200002)
          conky: drawing to double buffer
          conky: statfs64 '/mnt/external': No such file or directory
          conky: forked to background, pid is 16319
          woodsmoke@neon:~$
          conky: statfs64 '/mnt/external': No such file or directory
          conky: /proc/i8k doesn't exist! use insmod to make sure the kernel driver is loaded...

            Had to mod it here and there. Looks good. Will see if it stays and not disappear/reappear.

              lol well I think I'll dig up the script for my last X! and modify that using your stuff.

                Appreciate the kind words

                lua doesn't like me much and I'm not a developer; last time I tried to play with lua I ran into a memory leak I wasn't bright enough to resolve

                My next project is to get conky to slide off the right side of the screen when my cursor hits a hot screen edge and then redisplay when I hit that screen edge again. I had it working with a hotkey but that's not exactly what I want. Using wmctrl and a shell script I was able to show and hide conky with the same hotkey but if you look in systemsettings there's no built-in way to call a script with a screen edge or a hot corner. xdotool is the tool of choice for stuff like this but I wasn't able to make xdotool launch a script, even though the man page says it will.

                Filed a wishlist bug against kwin and asked for a file picker option for hot corners and was told by the kwin dev that I could do this with a kwin script and that building it into kwin would be a pretty scary proposition because bug reports from people who couldn't make their script work

                So now I need to learn to speak a little kwin. This is just eye candy so I have lotsa time, though

                  Nope - but I'm running Plasma 5.74 and as long as own_window_type is set to dock I've had no issues.

                    If you have time, and only if, would you make a copy of your .conkyrc, but written for version 1.9.x and post it?

                      I sure will. Converted it and it threw a couple errors which I'm chasing down now; once I can get the old version to run on my machine without errors I'll post it. Right now it's complaining about an '=' sign that causes another complaint about a missing sign if it's not there

                      Oh, well - I'll get it.

                        Here you go - it still throws one error that doesn't appear to matter - one other thing about the temperature indicator: I have a Dell laptop and use i8k sensors for temperature which most likely won't work unless you have a Dell laptop ${acpitemp} or parsing sensors' output should work.

                          Well, I can say I appreciate the new format presented as I've been wanting to convert mine to that. I was hoping doing that would fix the disappear/reappear issue but it didn't though it doesn't seem to do it as often. Maybe wishful thinking on that. However, I then took what I had and bound it with some of yours and using that new config format for some reason displays better. So to a large part very pleased.

                              Thank you.

                              Tried it on my HP laptop, but it fails to load conky; it crashes. I suspect that it's because of the sensor identification for your CPU (i8k_cpu_temp).
