Conky?

**Tawmu** · 14-Dec-2008, 05:17

Hey,

Could anyone help me install Conky on my Suse 11 install?

I've never used Conky before so I don't have a clue where to begin!

Thanks

Have a look here, kind of old but might be usable
Conky Problem - openSUSE Forums
Conky - openSUSE Forums
Conky - Hardware Monitor - openSUSE Forums

Also conky is available in yast from one of the repositories of opensuse 11.0

Hi,

I'm completely new to suse and pretty much linux in general, I do have some exp with ubuntu and a few other distro's so I'm not totally green so to speak ..lol

Anyways on to my problem, I've run conky in every distro I've tried with no problems and after following this I've managed to install it on my Suse 11.1 install (I ran into a few problems with install originally...lol).

Anyways, I type in conky in my terminal ad it starts up ...great

but for the life of me I can't find the darn file to edit it, it starts up in a windowed type mode and I'm assuming with defaults and would really like to edit it to my personal pref's so any help directing me to as where I might find the config file would be greatly appreciated.

Very impressed with suse 11.1 thus far, just need to work out some kinks and my search for a distro and bouncing back and forth between linux and win will be over

Thank you in advance for any replies
