|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Conky Installation and Usage in Linux ###
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before we install conky, we need to install packages like lm-sensors, curl and hddtemp using following command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# apt-get install lm-sensors curl hddtemp
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Time to detect-sensors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# sensors-detect
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note**: Answer ‘Yes‘ when prompted!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Check all the detected sensors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# sensors
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Sample Output ####
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
acpitz-virtual-0
|
|
||||||
Adapter: Virtual device
|
|
||||||
temp1: +49.5°C (crit = +99.0°C)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
coretemp-isa-0000
|
|
||||||
Adapter: ISA adapter
|
|
||||||
Physical id 0: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
|
||||||
Core 0: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
|
||||||
Core 1: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Conky can be installed from repo as well as, can be compiled from source.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# yum install conky [On RedHat systems]
|
|
||||||
# apt-get install conky-all [On Debian systems]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note**: Before you install conky on Fedora/CentOS, you must have enabled [EPEL repository][2].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After conky has been installed, just issue following command to start it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ conky &
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Conky Monitor in Action
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It will run conky in a popup like window. It uses the basic conky configuration file located at /etc/conky/conky.conf.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may need to integrate conky with the desktop and won’t like a popup like window every-time. Here is what you need to do
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Copy the configuration file /etc/conky/conky.conf to your home directory and rename it as ‘`.conkyrc`‘. The dot (.) at the beginning ensures that the configuration file is hidden.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ cp /etc/conky/conky.conf /home/$USER/.conkyrc
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now restart conky to take new changes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ killall -SIGUSR1 conky
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Conky Monitor Window
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may edit the conky configuration file located in your home dircetory. The configuration file is very easy to understand.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is a sample configuration of conky.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Conky Configuration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
From the above window you can modify color, borders, size, scale, background, alignment and several other properties. By setting different alignments to different conky window, we can run more than one conky script at a time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Using script other than the default for conky and where to find it?**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may write your own conky script or use one that is available over Internet. We don’t suggest you to use any script you find on the web which can be potentially dangerous unless you know what you are doing. However a few famous threads and pages have conky script that you can trust as mentioned below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865][3]
|
|
||||||
- [http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html][4]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At the above url, you will find every screenshot has a hyperlink, which will redirects to script file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Testing Conky Script ####
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here I will be running a third party written conky-script on my Debian Jessie Machine, to test.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ wget https://github.com/alexbel/conky/archive/master.zip
|
|
||||||
$ unzip master.zip
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Change current working directory to just extracted directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ cd conky-master
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Rename the secrets.yml.example to secrets.yml.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ mv secrets.yml.example secrets.yml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install Ruby before you could run this (ruby) script.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ sudo apt-get install ruby
|
|
||||||
$ ruby starter.rb
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Conky Fancy Look
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note**: This script can be modified to show your current weather, temperature, etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to start conky at boot, add the below one liner to startup Applications.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
conky --pause 10
|
|
||||||
save and exit.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And Finally…such a lightweight and useful GUI eye candy like package is not in active stage and is not maintained officially anymore. The last stable release was conky 1.9.0 released on May 03, 2012. A thread on Ubuntu forum has gone over 2k pages of users sharing configuration. (link to forum : [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865/][5])

Conky - 终极的 X 视窗系统监视器应用
|
||||||
|
================================================================================
|
||||||
|
Conky 是一个用 ‘C’ 语言写就的系统监视器，并在 GNU 通用公共许可协议和 BSD 许可协议下发布，在 Linux 和 BSD 操作系统中都可以获取到它。这个应用是基于 X 视窗系统的，原本 fork 至 [Torsmo][1]。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 特点 ####
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 简洁的用户界面;
|
||||||
|
- 高配置性;
|
||||||
|
- 它既可使用内置的部件(超过 300 多个) 也可使用外部脚本，来在桌面或其自有容器中展示系统的状态；
|
||||||
|
- 低资源消耗;
|
||||||
|
- 它可显示范围广泛的系统参数，包括但不限于 CPU，内存，swap 分区 ，温度，进程，磁盘使用情况，网络状态，电池电量，邮件收发，系统消息，音乐播放器的控制，天气信息，最新新闻，升级信息等等；
|
||||||
|
- 在许多操作系统中如 CrunchBang Linux 和 Pinguy OS 被默认安装；
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 关于 Conky 的少有人知的事实 ####
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- conky 这个名称来自于一个加拿大电视节目；
|
||||||
|
- 它已被移植到 Nokia N900 上；
|
||||||
|
- 它已不再被官方维护；
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 在 Linux 中 Conky 的安装和使用 ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在我们安装 conky 之前，我们需要使用下面的命令来安装诸如 `lm-sensors`, `curl` 和 `hddtemp` 之类的软件包：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# apt-get install lm-sensors curl hddtemp
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
然后是检测传感器：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# sensors-detect
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**注**: 在被系统提示时，回答 ‘Yes’ 。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
检测所有探测到的传感器：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# sensors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 样例输出 ####
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
temp1: +49.5°C (crit = +99.0°C)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Adapter: ISA adapter
|
||||||
|
Physical id 0: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
||||||
|
Core 0: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
||||||
|
Core 1: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Conky 既可以从软件仓库中安装，也可从源代码编译得到：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# yum install conky [在 RedHat 系的系统上]
|
||||||
|
# apt-get install conky-all [在 Debian 系的系统上]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**注**: 在 Fedora/CentOS 上安装 conky 之前，你必须启用 [EPEL 软件仓库][2]。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在安装完 conky 之后，只需输入如下命令来开启它：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ conky &
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
正在运行的 Conky 监视器
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这使得 conky 以一个弹窗的形式运行，并使用位于 `/etc/conky/conky.conf` 的 conky 基本配置文件。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你可能想将 conky 集成到桌面上，并不想让它每次以弹窗的形式出现，下面就是你需要做的：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
将配置文件 `/etc/conky/conky.conf` 复制到你的家目录中，并将它重命名为 `.conkyrc`，开头的点号 (.) 是为了确保这个配置文件是隐藏的。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ cp /etc/conky/conky.conf /home/$USER/.conkyrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
现在重启 conky 来应用新的更改：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ killall -SIGUSR1 conky
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Conky 监视器窗口
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你可能想编辑位于你家目录的 conky 的配置文件，这个配置文件的内容是非常容易理解的。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
下面是 conky 配置文件的一个样例：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Conky 的配置
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
从上面的窗口中，你可以更改颜色，边框，大小，缩放比例，背景，对齐方式及几个其他属性。通过为不同的 conky 窗口设定不同的对齐方式，我们可以同时运行超过一个 conky 脚本。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**为 conky 使用脚本而不是默认配置以及如何找到这些脚本?**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你可以编写你自己的 conky 脚本或使用来自于互联网的脚本；我们并不建议你使用你从互联网中找到的具有潜在危险的任何脚本，除非你清楚你正在做什么。然而，有一些著名的主题和网页包含可信赖的 conky 脚本，例如下面所提及的：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865][3]
|
||||||
|
- [http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html][4]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在上面的 URL 地址中，你将发现每个截图都有一个超链接，它们将重定向到脚本文件。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 测试 Conky 脚本 ####
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这里我将在我的 Debian Jessie 机子中运行一个由第三方写的 conky 脚本，以此来进行测试：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ wget https://github.com/alexbel/conky/archive/master.zip
|
||||||
|
$ unzip master.zip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
切换当前工作目录到刚才解压的目录：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ cd conky-master
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
将 `secrets.yml.example` 重命名为 `secrets.yml`：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ mv secrets.yml.example secrets.yml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在你能够运行这个(ruby)脚本之前安装 Ruby：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ sudo apt-get install ruby
|
||||||
|
$ ruby starter.rb
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
华丽的 conky 外观
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**注**: 这个脚本可以被修改以展示你当前的天气，温度等；
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
假如你想让 conky 开机自启，请在开机启动应用设置(startup Applications) 中添加如下的几行命令：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conky --pause 10
|
||||||
|
save and exit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
最后。。。 如此轻量级且吸引眼球的实用 GUI 软件包不再处于激活状态且官方不再进行维护了。最新的稳定发布版本为 conky 1.9.0， 于 2012 年 5 月 3 号发布。在 Ubuntu 论坛上，一个有关用户分享 conky 配置的主题已经超过了 2000 多页。(这个论坛主题的链接为: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865/][5])
