However, I'm now using FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE and Conky is running very nicely.
Inparticular, I now have a Gmail notifier working as well as including a current moon phase indication in the weather section.
See the screenshot to see how it looks.
The steps to get it installed are as follows:
1. Install conky from /usr/ports/sysutils/conky
Make sure you select Xft from the compile options
2. Install conkyforecast from /usr/ports/deskutils/conkyforecast
3. Install conkyemail from /usr/ports/deskutils/conkyemail
4. In your home directory, create a folder called scripts. Here you need to enter two scripts.
One is conkyip, which finds your external IP.
Here it is:
#!/bin/sh
# eigene öffentliche ip anzeigen
wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -q -O - |
grep -Eo '\<[[:digit:]]{1,3}(\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}){3}\>'Of course, it needs to be made executable.
The second is called gmail_parser.py which you can copy from this thread post.
5. To activate the cpu temperature sensors, add this line
coretemp_load="YES"to /boot/loader.conf
6. I'm using an nVidia gfx card, so nvidia-settings gives me my GPU tempetraure.
If you have an nVidia card, install nidia-settings from /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-settings.
If your card is not nVidia, you'll have to do a little googling.
7. To get your Gmail mail to be read you need to install py-feedpasers from /usr/ports/textproc/py-feedparser
8. I found that conky tends to freeze shortly after launch. But if relaunched generally keeps going.
So, I started small script to start conky after a 10 second sleep in Startup_Applications.
Then I added another script with the following content to restart conky after 30 seconds.
#! /bin/sh
sleep 30
killall -9 conky && conky
and that's about it.
