Multiple Windows Conky




You can display multiple different Conky windows, simply create a new .conkyrc file and save it, for example as .conkyrc2, then run:
conky -c .conkyrc2 &
If you want conky to run on start up ( no matter how many conky you got) simply creat a startup_sh config.

#!/bin/bash 

sleep 9

conky -c .conkyrc &

conky -c .conkyrc2 &

conky -c .conkyrc3 & 

conky -c .conkyrc4 &

conky -c .conkyrc5 &

conky -c .conkyrc6 &

Then create an Startup Application. Under System->Preferences
And at command line field.

/bin/sh /home/username/.startconky
make sure you execute the file. Find the file , go to permision and tick the execute box.

Enjoy Conky On StartUp.

Create Your Conky

This is my conky. Belows are the config.

Install SopCast Web TV player with VLC1.1.x problem fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick

SopCast is a good on-line TV player on Ubuntu Linux,but it doesn’t start in Ubuntu with VLC 1.1.x version installed.
Fortunately,a new SopCast PPA created by Roberto @ LFFL fixed the problem,and you can easily get the SopCast Web TV player work again by installing SopCast from ppa:ferramroberto/sopcast.
Open a terminal window from Applications -> Accessories menu,run following commands to add PPA and install SopCast:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/sopcast
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sopcast-player
After that,launch SopCast from Applications -> Sound & Vedio -> SopCast Player.Navigate to Edit -> Preferences,under Media Player check “Use External Player” and type vlc in command box.(Make sure vlc media player installed first)


Now,search your favourate sop TV addresses on the web and watch via File -> Open
