Hi

Before I used LXDE I used conky to monitor some system information. Now I have tryed to get conky working with LXDE. But there was some trouble.

To use LXDE with conky you only have to deactivate PCManFM’s desktopmanagementfunction. To do so Just go in PCManFM “Edit->Settings->Desktop->Manage the Desktop and show file icons”. Then Conky should work without problems (conkyrc below).

Now PCManFm also don’t draw a background on the LXDE Desktop. To solve this problem you can use “feh” to set the background.

install “feh”:

pacman -Sy feh

To set a background with “feh” you can use this script:

#!/bin/bash
# set bg
feh --bg-scale ~/pfad/zum/wallpaper.jpg &

This script order “feh” to show the image as a background. Now make the script executable:

chmod +x ./setbg.sh

Now I want to set the background everytime LXDE starts, automatecly. To do so just add the following to your “~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart”:

@/path/to/script/setbg.sh

Here my Conkyrc:

Hi

Bevor ich LXDE genutzt habe, habe ich immer Conky benutzt, um mir Systeminformationen anzeigen zu lassen. Nun habe ich versucht Conky auch mit LXDE zu nutzen. Leider funktionierten alle Einstellungen nicht zufriedenstellend.

Um Conky nun doch auf den LXDE Desktop zu bekommen, muss man lediglich PCManFM’s Desktopverwaltungsfunktion deaktivieren. Das geht unter “Bearbeiten->Einstellungen->Desktop->Manage the Desktop and show file icons”. Dann funktioniert conky ohne Probleme (conkyrc weiter unten).

Allerdings hat man nun auch abgestellt, das PCManFM einen Hintergrund zeichnet! Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, braucht man ein Programm wie “feh”.

“feh” Installieren:

pacman -Sy feh

Um mit feh einen Hintergund zu zeichnen, kann z.B. folgendes Skript benutzen:

#!/bin/bash
# set bg

feh –bg-scale ~/pfad/zum/wallpaper.jpg &

Das Skript weißt “feh” an das Bild als Hintergund auf den desktop zu zeichnen. Nun das Skript noch mit

chmod +x ./setbg.sh

ausführbar machen.

Jetzt möchte man natürlich noch das sein Hintergrund bei jedem Start geladen wird, dazu einfach folgende Zeile in die Datei “~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart” einfügen:

@/pfad/zum/skript/setbg.sh

Hier meine Conkyrc:

${tcp_portmon 32768 61000 rhost 5} ${alignr} ${tcp_portmon 32768 61000 rservice 5}

Und hier das Ergebnis:

Ich hoffe es gibt demnächst mehr conkys auf euren LXDE Desktops ;)

Am 23.5 habe ich lediglich conky als Systemmonitor installiert (pacman -S conky) und später noch den VLC-Player (pacman -S vlc) um verschiedene Viedeos bzw. Filme gucken zu können. Desweiteren habe ich pcmanfm (pacman -S pcmanfm) als Dateimanager installiert, da mc in X nicht ganz so komfortabel ist. Zu PCMANFM habe ich außerdem noch einen Screencast gemacht. Danach habe ich Tcl und Tk vorerst entvernt (pacman -Rs tcl tk). Am 24.5 habe ich pmount  getestet.
