Anzeigen von Systeminformationen auf Deinem Desktop mit Conky System Monitor auf Ubuntu 7.04
Version 1.0
Author: Oliver Meyer <o [dot] meyer [at] projektfarm [dot] de>
Diese Anleitung beschreibt, wie man das Conky Überwachungssystem (Conky System Monitor) auf Ubuntu 7.04 einrichtet. Conky ist ein Desktop Widget, welches in der Lage ist, die unterschiedlichsten Informationen wie zum Beispiel Prozessortemperatur, derzeitig verwendete Netzwerkbandbreite und vieles mehr anzuzeigen. Man kann das ganze Layout inklusive Farben und Schriftarten anpassen.
Dieses Tutorial soll ein praktischer Leitfaden sein. Theoretisches Hintergrundwissen wird damit nicht abgedeckt. Dies wird in vielen anderen Dokumenten im Netz abgehandelt.
Diese Anleitung ist ohne jede Garantie und ich möchte an dieser Stelle darauf hinweisen, dass dies hier nicht der einzige Weg ist, ein solches System zu installieren. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten – ich selbst habe mich für diese entschieden. Ich kann aber nicht garantieren, dass diese Lösung bei jedem funktioniert bzw. für jeden die richtige ist!
1. Installation von Conky
Installiere Conky mit dem Synaptic Packet Manager:
2. Konfiguration
Es gibt so unglaublich viele Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten und vordefinierte Variablen um Conky anzupassen, dass ich hier nicht alle auflisten und erklären kann. Eine gute Dokumentierung, einschließlich Manpage (Hilfeseite), FAQ, eine Liste mit Conky Variablen und eine Liste mit Einstellungen der Konfigrationsdatei ist erhätltlich unter http://conky.sourceforge.net/.
In einigen Fällen kann bei Conky ein Flimmern auftreten. Wenn das bei Dir zutreffen sollte, solltest Du Dir die FAQ etwas genauer ansehen – dort findest Du Lösungsvorschläge für dieses Problem.
Öffne ein Terminalfenster und erstelle die Konfigurationsdatei für Conky.
Verwende die Standardkonfiguration:
zcat /usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz > ~/.conkyrc
Oder verwende meine Konfiguration:
vi .conkyrc
# Conky sample configuration
#
# the list of variables has been removed from this file in favour
# of keeping the documentation more maintainable.
