Conky is a system monitor software for the X Window System. It is available for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. It is free software released under the terms of the GPL license. Conky is able to monitor many system variables including CPU, memory, swap, disk space, temperature, top, upload, download, system messages, and much more. It is extremely configurable, however, the configuration can be a little hard to understand. Conky is a fork of torsmo.

Installation and configuration
- Install the conky package which is available in the official repositories.
- Edit the
~/.conkyrc
config file using an example configuration file from homeproject-screenshot - Alternatively, you can use the default config at
/etc/conky/conky.conf
:
$ cp /etc/conky/conky.conf ~/.conkyrc
AUR packages
In addition to the basic conky package in the official repositories, there are various AUR packages available with extra compile options enabled.
- Install conky-cliAUR for conky without X11 dependencies
- Install conky-nvidiaAUR for nvidia support.
- Install conky-luaAUR for lua support.
- Install conky-lua-nvAUR for both lua and nvidia support.
Tips and tricks
Enable real transparency (KDE4)
Since version 1.8.0, Conky suppports real transparency. To enable it (and make it work nicely with KDE4), add these lines to ~/.conkyrc
:
own_window yes own_window_transparent yes own_window_argb_visual yes own_window_type normal own_window_class conky-semi own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
This replaces the feh method described below.
Autostart with xfce4
In .conkyrc
file:
own_window_type override
Add a ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop
:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.9.4 Type=Application Name=conky Comment= Exec=conky -d StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Hidden=false
Prevent flickering
Conky needs Double Buffer Extension (DBE) support from the X server to prevent flickering because it cannot update the window fast enough without it. It can be enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
with Load "dbe"
line in Section "Module"
. The xorg.conf file has been replaced (1.8.x patch upwards) by /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
which contains the particular configuration files. DBE is loaded automatically.
To verify:
# grep dbe /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Output (should be similar):
# [ 86.101] (II) LoadModule: "dbe" # [ 86.101] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdbe.so # [ 86.111] (II) Module dbe: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
To enable double-buffer check to have in ~/.conkyrc
:
# Place below the other options, not below TEXT or XY double_buffer yes
Do not minimize on Show Desktop (Compiz)
If the 'Show Desktop' button or key-binding minimizes Conky along with all other windows, start the Compiz configuration settings manager, go to "General Options" and uncheck the "Hide Skip Taskbar Windows" option.
Integrate with KDesktop
Conky with screenshot configuration generate problems with icons visualization. So there are some steps to follow.
- Add these lines to
~/.conkyrc
:
own_window yes own_window_type normal own_window_transparent yes own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
- If this setting is on, comment it out or delete the line:
minimum_size
- To automatically start Conky, create this symlink:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde/share/autostart/conkylink
For KDE4 users:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde4/Autostart/conkylink
- Install the feh package which is available in the official repositories.
- Make a script to allow transparency with the desktop
For KDE3 users
$ nano -w ~/.kde/share/autostart/fehconky
#!/bin/bash feh --bg-scale `dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1`
For KDE4 users
$ nano -w ~/.kde4/Autostart/fehconky
#!/bin/bash feh --bg-scale "`grep 'wallpaper=' ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc | tail --lines=1 | sed 's/wallpaper=//'`"
use --bg-center
if you use a centered wallpaper.
- Make it executable
$ chmod +x ~/.kde/share/autostart/fehconky
KDE4
$ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/fehconky
- Instead of using a script, you can add the corresponding line to the bottom of
~/.conkyrc
For KDE3
${exec feh --bg-scale `dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1`}
For KDE4
${exec feh --bg-scale "`grep 'wallpaper=' ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc | tail --lines=1 | sed 's/wallpaper=//'`"}
Display package update information
- Paconky - Displays package update information in a user-defined format. The output of this program can be included in Conky with the
${execpi}
command. - Scrolling Notifications - Prints scrolling update notifications. From the author of Paconky.
- Perl Script - Simpler and earlier script from the author of Paconky. Prints only the number of packages needing an update.
- Python Script - Fairly configurable update notification program in Python.
- Bash Script - Bash script for users that have enabled ShowSize.
Display weather forecast
See this thread.
Display RSS feeds
Conky has the ability to display RSS feeds natively without the need for an outside script to run and output into Conky. For example, to display the titles of the ten most recent Planet Arch updates and refresh the feed every minute, you would put this into your ~/.conkyrc
:
${rss http://planet.archlinux.org/rss20.xml 1 item_titles 10 }
Display Distrowatch Arch Linux ranking
See this thread.
Display rTorrent stats
See this thread.
Display number of new emails (Gmail)
Create a file named gmail.py
in a convenient location (this example uses ~/.scripts/
) with the following Python code:
import os #Enter your username and password below within double quotes # eg. username="username" and password="password" username="****" password="****" com="wget -q -O - https://"+username+":"+password+"@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom --no-check-certificate" temp=os.popen(com) msg=temp.read() index=msg.find("<fullcount>") index2=msg.find("</fullcount>") fc=int(msg[index+11:index2]) if fc==0: print "0 new" else: print str(fc)+" new"
The above script did not work for me and my Google Apps account. I modified the script below to work with a Google App mail account Python code:
import os #Enter your domain, username and password below within double quotes # eg. domain="yourdomain.com", username="username" and password="password" domain="yourdomain.com" username="username" password="password" com="wget -q -O - https://mail.google.com/a/"+domain+"/feed/atom --http-user="+username+"@"+domain+" --http-password="+password+" --no-check-certificate" temp=os.popen(com) msg=temp.read() index=msg.find("<fullcount>") index2=msg.find("</fullcount>") fc=int(msg[index+11:index2]) if fc==0: print "0 new" else: print str(fc)+" new"
Under Python 3, the above scripts will return an error at the print lines. In order to resolve this, change them to:
if fc==0: print("0 new") else: print(str(fc)+" new")
Add the following string to your ~/.conkyrc
in order the check your Gmail account for new email every five minutes (300 seconds) and display: # new
${execpi 300 python ~/.scripts/gmail.py}
The same way, but with using grep
and sed
for filtering output of wget
:
$ wget -q -O - https://mail.google.com/a/domain/feed/atom \ > --http-user=login@domain \ > --http-password=password \ > --no-check-certificate | \ > grep fullcount | sed 's/<[^0-9]*>//g'
instead of words login, domain, password you must type yours data.
Alternatively, you can use stunnel which is provided by the stunnel package.
The following configuration is taken from Conky's FAQ
Modify /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
as follows, and then start the stunnel
daemon:
# Service-level configuration for TLS server [imap] client = yes accept = 143 connect = imap.gmail.com:143 protocol = imap sslVersion = TLSv1 # Service-level configuration for SSL server [imaps] client = yes accept = 993 connect = imap.gmail.com:993
The only thing left is our ~/.conkyrc
:
imap localhost username * -i 120 -p 993 TEXT Inbox: ${imap_unseen}/${imap_messages}
Here I used * as the password for Conky to ask for it at start, but you do not have to do it.
Display new emails (IMAP + SSL)
Conky has built in support for IMAP accounts but does not support SSL. This can be provided using this script from this forum post. This requires the Perl/CPAN Modules Mail::IMAPClient and IO::Socket::SSL which are in the perl-mail-imapclientAUR and perl-io-socket-ssl packages
Create a file named imap.pl
in a location to be read by Conky. In this file, add (with the appropriate changes):
#!/usr/bin/perl # gimap.pl by gxmsgx # description: get the count of unread messages on imap use strict; use Mail::IMAPClient; use IO::Socket::SSL; my $username = 'example.username'; my $password = 'password123'; my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new( PeerAddr => 'imap.server', PeerPort => 993 ) or die "socket(): $@"; my $client = Mail::IMAPClient->new( Socket => $socket, User => $username, Password => $password, ) or die "new(): $@"; if ($client->IsAuthenticated()) { my $msgct; $client->select("INBOX"); $msgct = $client->unseen_count||'0'; print "$msgct\n"; } $client->logout();
Add to ~/.conkyrc
:
${execpi 300 ~/.conky/imap.pl}
or wherever you saved the file.
Alternatively, you can use stunnel as shown above: Conky#How to display the number of new emails (Gmail) in Conky
User-contributed configuration examples
Graysky
[Here] it is - modify to fit your system. Optimized for a quad core chip w/ several hdds (although one of them is not connected for this screenshot) and an nvidia graphics card. You can easily modify this to a dual or single core system with one or whatever number of hdds.

- And the required lua.lua script:
1 --[[ 2 Ring Meters by londonali1010 (2009) 3 4 This script draws percentage meters as rings. It is fully customisable; all options are described in the script. 5 6 IMPORTANT: if you are using the 'cpu' function, it will cause a segmentation fault if it tries to draw a ring straight away. The if s tatement on line 145 uses a delay to make sure that this does not happen. It calculates the length of the delay by the number of updat es since Conky started. Generally, a value of 5s is long enough, so if you update Conky every 1s, use update_num > 5 in that if state ment (the default). If you only update Conky every 2s, you should change it to update_num > 3; conversely if you update Conky every 0 .5s, you should use update_num > 10. ALSO, if you change your Conky, is it best to use "killall conky; conky" to update it, otherwise the update_num will not be reset and you will get an error. 7 8 To call this script in Conky, use the following (assuming that you save this script to ~/scripts/rings.lua): 9 lua_load ~/scripts/rings-v1.2.1.lua 10 lua_draw_hook_pre ring_stats 11 12 Changelog: 13 + v1.2.1 -- Fixed minor bug that caused script to crash if conky_parse() returns a nil value (20.10.2009) 14 + v1.2 -- Added option for the ending angle of the rings (07.10.2009) 15 + v1.1 -- Added options for the starting angle of the rings, and added the "max" variable, to allow for variables that output a numer ical value rather than a percentage (29.09.2009) 16 + v1.0 -- Original release (28.09.2009) 17 ]] 18 19 settings_table = { 20 { 21 -- Edit this table to customise your rings. 22 -- You can create more rings simply by adding more elements to settings_table. 23 -- "name" is the type of stat to display; you can choose from 'cpu', 'memperc', 'fs_used_perc', 'battery_used_perc'. 24 name='time', 25 -- "arg" is the argument to the stat type, e.g. if in Conky you would write ${cpu cpu0}, 'cpu0' would be the argument .

A note about symbolic fonts
Many of the more decorated .conkyrc's use the fonts PizzaDude Bullets and Pie Charts for Maps. They are available from the AUR as 'ttf-pizzadude-bullets' and 'ttf-piechartsformaps' respectively, or they can be found and downloaded with a quick search and manually installed using the instructions in Fonts.
Universal method to enable true transparency
Transparency is a strange beast in Conky, but there is a way to universally apply true transparency with any environment or window manager by using xcompmgr and transset-df. Install xcompmgr from [extra] and transset-df from [community] with pacman -Sy xcompmgr transset-df
. These packages both have the same 3 dependencies, so this is the lightest method for composition available, for those of you using standalone window managers in order to achieve the leanest setup you can manage (or whatever reason you have :D)
NOTE: This may conflict with any other compositing manager you are already using.
Check xcompmgr documentation to help you decide which compositing options you would like to enable. The following is a common standard command.
xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &
Make sure conky is running with conky &
. Use transset-df to enable transparency on the Conky window. Set '.5' to any value in the range 0 - 1.
transset-df .5 -n Conky
This should give your conky window true transparency. If you get an error like,
$ transset-df .5 -n Conky
No Window matching Conky exists!
Verify that conky is running, and use xprop and click on the conky window to find the name you should pass to transset-df
.
$ xprop | grep WM_NAME
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Conky (ArchitectLinux)"
In this case, "Conky" is right, but for you it may be different, so be sure to use your output instead. If ~/.conkyrc has own_window_type panel
then this xprop invocation may show now output. Try using any of the following options instead. own_window_type {dock,normal,override,desktop}
Use this in ~/.xinitrc to have transparent conky run when you startx
.
xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 & conky -d; sleep 1 && transset-df .5 -n Conky
