Thanks Koo – I’ll make the changes to our default conkies.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

I have repeatedly wondered, yet never bothered to ask:
Did a line get lost across the years, when copypasting the default config ?

mid-session, during liveboot… a user cannot magically “flip a switch”, right ?
( cannot on-demand create overlayfs upperdir=/live/aufs-ram/upper )
${execi 1000 persist-enabled}
execi… seems pointless//wasteful to periodically recheck

$ which persist-enabled
/usr/local/bin/persist-enabled

$ cat /usr/local/bin/persist-enabled
#!/bin/bash
[ -e /etc/live/config/persist-root -o -e /live/config/persist-root ] || exit
echo "Persist Root Enabled"

Years ago I suggested (requested) addition of a similar script which will test the existence
of the “did-toram” flagfile, and inclusion of toram status displayed within the conky output.

At some point, I had intended to send the change as a git pull request…
but I could not find the “definitive” conky-legacy-all project repo (github//gitlab, bitjam//antiX-linux)
and didn’t track down which package provides the /live/config/persist-root script
( ? er, did track it down and learned that it is provided by live-init and is packed within the initrd ? )

$ ls -l /etc/live/config | grep toram
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 Sep 21 10:42 did-toram

related to the above (injecting an additional line into the conky display):

*** Does conky-legacy impose a limit on how many lines can be displayed?

I seem to recall that when I had attempted to customize and add extra lines, or insert blank/spacer lines to alter the layout, I discovered that the bottommost lines would not display.

.
*** asking because I couldn’t find a line limit mentioned in the docs and I failed to find a solution
(tried: smaller font, own_window y/n, border y/n, et cetera)

Hello Koo
conky.config end with semi-colon ; {};
(?) observation . it would be a question if this was not a develtopic. meaning i will watch examples to find out. great work Koo.

I did not write this conky just remove the unnecessary added code and fixed the battery line not working. But now you me started.

About your lines not being displayed you may need to adjust (minimum_height) setting. Also this will depend on your screen resolution as well, as the bottom of the conky may be cut off on smaller screens. Their is no line limit to my knowledge..

Their must have been a script back when ever the conky was first coded. Depending on how old it is it might be found in an older version of antiX.
Note: delete the line above to disable automatic scaling with DPI
# on the live system.


Their is also this line which needs to be removed as the user have a Boinc Service running. I don't we need one of them. See below
# boinc (seti) dir
# seti_dir /opt/seti

Thank you...I also am going to post here what I used so that others may gain from it. I modified the generic CHKCONFIG script I was using for seti 3.08 so that it would run my setiboinc.

#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 35 90 15
# description: Starts and Stops the SETI BOINC service
# Source function librairy
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

################################################
#This script is a sample script to allow the seti
#client to run as a service on a linux box.
#
#Install Notes :
#
# customize the two first variables of the script
# make a symbolic link from
# You have to link /etc/rc.d/rc./S99seti
# to this file to make it run.
# start the service (or reboot :-) )
# check it works with the status option
#
#
#How this works ?
#
#When using the script, your seti client will always
#run in the same folder (that you can choose) ,
#this is a "clean" way to run it.

#The service can be:
# -launched with "/etc/rc.d/initd/seti start"
# -stoped with "/etc/rc.d/initd/seti stop"
# -restarted with "/etc/rc.d/initd/seti restart"
# -watched with "/etc/rc.d/initd/seti status"
# -be logged with "/etc/rc.d/initd/seti log"

#As the last option (log) in quite unsual,
#it is intended to be used with the cron daemon
#to allow users to log their progress in some file
#so that can get a good idea of there current score
#and progress.
#Here are the 2 lines to type in your crontab :
# SHELL=/bin/bash

Some thing else with errors on starting conky if you try and start a <1.09 version and you have 1.10> installed you see an error message like below.

conky -c New-clean-conky
conky: Syntax error (New-clean-conky:2: unexpected symbol near '#') while reading config file.  <<< (here you need conky 1.09 or below install)
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.  <<< (here you need conky 1.09 or below install)
conky: desktop window (116) is root window

The conky in most cases will still run. But without starting from the command line as I have above with (conky -c New-clean-conky) you wont even see the errors.

Installation of conky packages does place documentation locally.
For legacy: / usr /share/doc/conky-legacy-all/
and for the newer packaged version, here (i think so): / usr /share/doc/conky-all/

After carefully searching the text (“lines”, “maximum”, “limit”) I found the following:

_____________________________________________

* the “tail” function (same for “head” function:
Max of 30 lines can be displayed, or until the text buffer is filled.

* default buffer size for each individual line is 256 bytes (keep in mind: unicode chars will be multi-byte)
To increase the default, you would add a text_buffer_size declaration in conky.conf
(or add it within the .conkyrc somewhere above the TEXT line)

text_buffer_size
“This buffer is used for intermediary text, such as __individual__ lines, output from $exec vars, and various other variables. Increasing the size of this buffer can drastically reduce Conky’s performance, but will allow for more text display per variable. The size of this buffer cannot be smaller than the default value of 256 bytes.” (keep in mind: some unicode chars occupy multiple bytes)

max_user_text
Maximum size of user text buffer, i.e. layout below TEXT line in config file (default is 16384 bytes)

max_specials
Maximum number of special things, e.g. fonts, offsets, aligns, etc. (default is 512)

_____________________________________________

Anyhow, thankfully the (37?) line limit problem isn’t still occurring when I retested today.

I made a conky years ago that I ran all the time named Tower-conky was in love the thing. Below TEXT was 48 lines of code including weather fonts and could be about 55 lines if added semplice-conky-harddisks.sh I never had a problem at all running it on my system back in the day. Conky Version 1.10> converted from <1.09.
But I suppose it also depends on how powerful the computer is as well and hardware.

Here is a screenshot. link
Tower Conky
