 |
|
I don't know how to get conky to display the percentage of my battery life on my laptop. It will only show "charging" or "discharging".
The output of acpi -V is:
| Code: |
Battery 1: charged, 100%
No support for device type: thermal
AC Adapter 1: on-line
|
My .conkyrc file has:
| Code: |
${color green}Battery:$color ${battery BAT1}%
|
Anyone know the syntax for the .conkyrc file to display how much battery life is left? |

Hi
Conky itself doesn't support this directly ...
But you can use this little workaround:
| Code: | | Remaining: ${execi 10 acpi -b|tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f5} |

The % isn't supported, but you can display the remaining time instead. Here's my relevant conkyrc part. | Code: | ${color #BCBCBC}TURION 64: ${color }$freq_dyn MHz
${color #BCBCBC}TEMPERATURE: ${color } $acpitemp C
${color #BCBCBC}BATTERY: ${color } ${battery BAT1}
${color #BCBCBC}AC ADAPTER: ${color } $acpiacadapter
|
If you need to find out what variables conky supports natively you can check their homepage.

Maybe is too late, and a new version of Conky is available but I've just configured my conky with
As /carlito said, the better way is look up on Conky's official website, on the variables page. It solved out my problems.
