V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 No problem. Let me kow if you solve the annoying problem with it. I haven't found a solution yet and I see that yours is doing the same thing. Umm... I hope this wasn't a quiz question. What annoying problem exactly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amenditman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Umm... I hope this wasn't a quiz question. What annoying problem exactly? Did you notice that in your first image all the disk usage graphs show the same usage for all filesystems. Mine on the laptop is perfect, on the desktop not so much.Also, do you really believe you have 0/154 processes running? The list of the top 5 right below there seems to indicate otherwise (as would common sense if we had any).

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah... I did notice that about the bars for the disk usage. I changed to a different type in my updated version... more info. And the TOP Processes are accurate bacause while you may have x amount of processes active on your system at any time, very few are really running. Most are sleeping. My current TOP from command line: Tasks: 157 total, 1 running, 156 sleeping... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the disk use bars, can you post the relavant lines from your .conkyrc? Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sure, I stole...

Oh, and if you prefer free % to be displayed, change this for each entry: fs_used_perc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichase Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Added some symbols to my Conky. Removed the battery power as I never unplug the laptop and the battery power is already showing in tint2. Still bugs me that openfonts.ttf is not working since the fontconfig update a while back. Hense the square next to kernel that SHOULD be an arch symbol. Edited March 28, 2013 by ichase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the girly flower wallpaper. I thought it, Abarbarian said it.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Looks great Eric. Matches the wallpaper to a tee almost. That yellow font just jars a tad. See you got rid of the girly flowered wallpaper The yellow is ALERT! It's so that the items are more noticeable. I once knew a 6'7" 375lb biker who went by the nickname "Tiny". He rode a HOT PINK H-D Roadking. When asked (and it was very rarely, believe me) why he had his bike painted that color, his response was, "Just to see who'd have the balls to ask me about it." Oh, and I like cats, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Motorcycles like that one, Ian, are 100% for middle-aged rich white men who have way too much discretionary money lying around. A real biker wouldn't be caught dead on one of those torture devices. The guys who own bikes like that bring them out of the garage once or twice a month during the really nice weather season and ride them two miles to the local biker get-together to show off. All the real bikers just grunt and have another beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
