Did you update your conky and read the readme?

has anyone here seen this? (yes I stole the graphic from it)
It is an amazing bit of work by sen7 (link)

As anyone tried this setup? I've been trying, but i cant figure out how to do it.

The conky from the Arch repos does not have Lua support. You need to install conky-lua from the AUR:

@ noMaster

I'm sorry it's not working for you.
it could be your version of conky but you have 1.7.2 which should be high enough...

can you get other lua scripts working in conky?

it could be an arch thing too... maybe ask at the arch forum about getting conky with lua and cairo suppoert running?

I do not know anything about using arch

hi...well it looks like you do not have the lua script saved anywhere...
go to the post that contains the lua script for the configuration you want
you can tell its a lua script because it will have:
require "cairo"
somewhere at the top
copy the code and paste it into a file as in your conkyrc:
/home/ku/.lua/flower.lua
you have to make sure that you type all the paths correctly!
your version of conky should support lua with cairo bindings... so apart from making sure you have the lua script and making sure all the paths are correct, I'm not too sure what else it could be!

I suppose that is conky version. My lua script is already exist that line:

require 'cairo'
function string:split(delimiter)
local result = { }
local from  = 1
local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
while delim_from do
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from , delim_from-1 ) )
from  = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from  ) )
return result
end

I already had tint2 on the side but took Iman from Arch's idea of integrating conky. I went for a minimal looking conky that provides information from colour.

Top 2 numbers (1:0) are email boxes.

on AC power (battery meter hidden) some upload and download (blue \\ (download) and // (upload)) CPU2 is a little busy (blue +-)

CPU now calm but temperature is high

On battery power (battery bar becomes visible)

CPU's both doing a little, On AC but charging (battery a bit visible)

Integrated into tint2

Re: My Conky Config

dummy@example.com (mrpeachy) — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:43:01 +0000

nothing particularly groundbreaking, but have written a couple of lua functions to convert numbers and dates to text
so 19 becomes "nineteen"
and 23 (as in 23rd of month) becomes "twenty third"

UPDATED--------------
you can get stuff like this:

here is the script that made the above:
currently the number conversion function only goes up to 999
i have made a separate time to words function

--[[numbers to words conversion lua script by mrpeachy (2010)]]
require "cairo"

local from  = 1
local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
while delim_from do
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from , delim_from-1 ) )
from  = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from  ) )
return result

i dont think there is a way.. the fix i thought i saw was really a trick to get a hr like line --- this is where i saw it

Here is workaround:

And this is my line:

just a delayed after thought.
how about somehow having it remain in use in a faster piece of the computer. like if its in hd, put it in swap, if in swap put it in ram, if in ram, make it just run constantly in the processor. hehe. mount the stuff it needs to run, in ramfs for example, and reduce the resource/graphical overhead of the frames.
the problem is more with the reporting of the cpu usage... a faster cycle rate on conky makes the reported cpu use more "erratic"
so at 1 second it might be..
12%......25%......28%......13%
but at 0,5 second cycle it would be
12%15%25%30%28%10%13%
thats what i meant by the jumpy....
i would need a way to record cpu usage at time a, then record cpu usage at time b.. then work out the difference between b and a
then have some way of having the frames "progress" from a to b rather than just jump from a to b.
might be possible in a lua script if conky cycle was set high say 4 times per second... then cpu could be recorded every second which would give you 3 frames to get from a to b (if you see what i mean) ...but then the animation would always be just slightly behind the actual cpu usage number...

I think you should have a look to the code of the audio spectrum I posted on ubuntu forums : the peak bars have a smooth effect when moving (search peak_value in the code). It's what you're looking for if I understood you well. It works for decreasings values but it should be possible to use it for increasing values
