This my second ever compile, and it was extremely easy, thanks to the nice notifications by its developer. === First things first === {{{ cd cp .conkyrc conkyrcbackup sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove conky sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` checkinstall build-essential libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libxext-dev }}} === Download Source === Go to http://conky.sourceforge.net/ and download conky-1.4.0.tar.gz to your Desktop === Now compile and install === {{{ cd mkdir temp cp /path/to/conky-1.4.0.tar.gz ./ tar -xvf conky-1.4.0.tar.gz cd conky-1.4.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-xft --enable-seti --enable-double-buffer --enable-own-window --enable-proc-uptime --enable-mpd --enable-mldonkey --enable-x11 --enable-portmon --enable-xmms --enable-bmp --enable-audacious --enable-infopipe make sudo checkinstall }}} == Notes == * cp .conkyrc conkyrcbackup will work if you use conky before. * sudo apt-get remove conky was necessary for checkinstall to work * I used /home/user/temp as a temporary folder. You can delete it afterwords. * If you never used conky, you may want to search the forums on how to set up your .conkyrc configuration file. This compilation does not support bmpx (I don't know what it is) because I couldn't find "bmpx" in the package manager (it was a dependency for enabling bmpx, predictably). * Let me know in this thread if you prefer me to include descriptions of the commands I used. * Some relevant forum threads: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=4111292 will search conky in titles in the forum. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110535 which has screenshots and sample configuration files that you can study and use. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125084 and scroll towards the middle of this very nice Blackbox HowTo == Uninstall == Launch synaptic, search for conky, and remove it. == Discuss this Wiki Page == at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139262&highlight=conky ---- CategoryDocumentation CategoryLaptop |
