Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
|
|
Since its original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from
|
|
its predecessor. Conky can display just about anything, either on
|
|
your root desktop or in its own window. Conky has many built-in
|
|
objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts, then
|
|
display the output from stdout.
|
|
|
|
Starting with the 1.10.x branch of conky the conkyrc config files now
|
|
use a lua based syntax. This means that older conkyrc config files
|
|
may not work. Conky does attempt to convert older config scripts
|
|
on the fly but if it doesn't work you can convert your config file
|
|
with the convert.lua script that is provided in the /usr/doc
|
|
directory. It is not guaranteed to work but it should give you a
|
|
good starting point to edit the converted script to make it work.
|
|
If you can't get your script to work then you can install the
|
|
1.9.0 version of conky that is provided here at SBo in the 14.1
|
|
branch.
|
|
|
|
Audacious is disabled by default because it requires libaudclient.
|
|
libaudclient is available here at SBo. You can enable audacious
|
|
support the build by passing AUDACIOUS=yes ./conky.SlackBuild.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the binary Nvidia drivers, conky has native support
|
|
for monitoring your video cards hardware. To enable this feature
|
|
you must install the binary drivers using the nvidia_kernel and
|
|
nvidia_driver packages available here at SBo, or you can use the
|
|
binary run installer provided by Nvidia. Once the driver is
|
|
installed you must also install libxnvctrl, also available here
|
|
at SBo. Then pass NVIDIA=yes to the build script.
