conkyrc-pinephone

A .conkyrc config file optimized for Pinephone use of conky (https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky)

Installation

Install conky

On mobian, you can install conky with

sudo apt install conky

You do not need the conky-all package for this config file but I think you will need lm-sensors.

Install the .conkyrc file

Simply copy .conkyrc to /home/mobian. If you are transferring via USB cable, you may end up transferring as root user, so then you would need to issue:

chown mobian:mobian /home/mobian/.conkyrc

You will be asked for your password.

Usage

When conky is run under mobian user, it will read the /home/mobian/.conkyrc file automatically. Nothing else needs to be done.

Enhancement

To autostart, I just stuck these lines in ~/.profile

# Autostart conky
conky &

Issues

• This does not look good with horizontal layout. Note that the config could be changed for this situation, but I don't know if any way to make conky actually responsive to rotation. Also I have not looked.

• I don't know the correct name of the wireless interface on the pinephone. I'll update it when I know. Or you could tell me.
