so you got me to thinking (

yes dangerous thing to do ) about how to get some CPU info (just the type) not all the gobeldy gook displayed in conky ,,,,,,,as I was already mucking around in my .conkyrc and tweeking things a bit.

Gobeldy gook you say,,,,,,,well yes .

we all know that "cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you about your CPU , but the output is quite extensive and would not all fit in your conky.
+ I only want the name/type and not all the rest of the info (gobeldy gook)

Code:

way to mutch info
so we nead to "grep" us out some of the info we want from the gobeldy gook

grep <some distinktive word/string> like,,,,,,,,,,name

Code:

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz

,,,,,,,better but still to mutch

Aaaaa "m1" limit # of matching lines in the outout to #

Code:

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 name
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz

getting their ,,,,,but we dont want that "model name : in our conky output so,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "cut -c 14-54" (cut out and use caricatures #-14-54 in list )

Code:

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 name | cut -c 14-54
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz

their we go ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but wate ,,,,,,, that wont fit in the width of my conky window.

so fmt to work now ,,,,,,,,, -w(maximum line width) -g(goal width)

Code:

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1   name | cut -c 14-54 | fmt -w 25 -g 25
Intel(R) Core(TM)
i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz

now were ready for conky

Code:

CPU: ${execi 300 cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1   name | cut -c 14-54 | fmt -w 25 -g 25}

VINNY,,,,,,,,,,

I used

Code:

${execi 1000 cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | sed -e 's/model name.*: //'| uniq}

It shows same as what you got.

Will have to play with temp. The code you gave me shows me the average of each proc but not the current. It's in there somewhere

**vsreeser** · Feb 26, 2015, 07:02 AM

Playing with conky again on my faster machine. Can get the average temp just fine, although only in Celsius. Thought I'd play with fan speed, but I can't seem to get anything to show.

Code:

virgil@dadspc:~$ sensors -f                                                                               
atk0110-acpi-0                                                                                            
Adapter: ACPI interface

 +5 Voltage:        +4.92 V  (min =  +4.50 V, max =  +5.50 V)
 +12 Voltage:      +12.09 V  (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed:     1622 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed: 1607 RPM  (min =  200 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
POWER FAN Speed:      0 RPM  (min =  600 RPM, max = 7200 RPM)
CPU Temperature:   +102.2°F  (high = +140.0°F, crit = +203.0°F)
MB Temperature:     +95.0°F  (high = +113.0°F, crit = +167.0°F)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +80.4°F  (high = +158.0°F)
                       (crit = +211.1°F, hyst = +202.1°F)

Apparently it doesn't show individual temps, but thats ok. Tried carying cut values to get the CPU fan speed to no avail.

This is latest attempt

Code:

CPU fan speed ${execi 5 sensors | grep "CPU FAN Speed" | awk '{print $3}' | cut -c14-17}

I if I use cut2-3, it prints out pe, 4-7 or even 4-50 give ed: anything higher for the start gives nothing at all. am I counting wrong?

Was looking for a program to monitor and control speed similiar to speedfan for windows. No luck there

**Snowhog** · Feb 26, 2015, 09:16 AM

Look at my CPU temps coding:

Code:

${color}Core 1  : ${color 20a5e4}${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 0 'Core 0' | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°C ${color 20a5e4}$alignr${execi 8 sensors -f | grep -A 0 'Core 0' | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°F
${color}Core 2  : ${color 20a5e4}${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 0 'Core 2' | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°C ${color 20a5e4}$alignr${execi 8 sensors -f | grep -A 0 'Core 2' | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°F
${color}Average : ${color 20a5e4}${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp1'  | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°C ${color 20a5e4}$alignr${execi 8 sensors -f | grep -A 0 'temp1'  | cut -c14-19 | sed '/^$/d'}°F

Should aid you if getting your code correct.

My conky looks like this.

y conky looks like this.

My entire conky config is attached.

Used you conky config file and it works. Will have to study it to see how you pulled specific values, but should be able to figure it out. Eventually, I may figure out how to show other things

This is my conky code ...

...

If you replaced that awk '{print $3}' with

Code:

awk '{print sprintf("%.1f",$3*9/5.0+32) "°F"}'

you might get Fahrenheit. Not sure how that degree sign will travel, that iconv stuff is arcane.

I changed my conky config after reading this.

Actually I added the -f option to sensors, so it looks like this.

Code:

${font sans-serif:normal:size=8}${color 90DDC0}CPU Temperature: $alignr ${color FFFFFF}${iconv_start UTF-8 ISO_8859-1}${exec sensors -f|grep 'CPU Temp'|awk '{print $3}'} ${iconv_stop}

And I get the desired outcome. The section under the VIDEO header will require more thought.

I was pretty sure the degree sign would not carry. I think that was why I left it in Celsius in the first place. I didn't give it much thought at the time.

Of course, that CPU temperature looks worthless, in that it's always 37 °C. What's the bet that all three of our systems have exactly the same temp? Looking at my sensors output, the "Core0" and "Core1" seem to show something that might be real. I'd need to record the output over some time, from a cold start, say, to see if they were useful.

Start encoding video or install/update a virtual guest and you'll see that number climb. Is it the average of the cores or the overall temp?
