Steps:
1 Installation Conky
sudo apt install conky
2 Download my profile conkyrc_x61 renamed. CONKYRC to the home directory (/home/username/), don't forget the previous.
3 installation configuration used in the font, Radio space and weather fonts, how to install fonts??
Give a hint:
sudo mkdir/usr/share/fonts/ttf
sudo cp/TTF font path/*/usr/share/fonts/ttf
Cd/usr/share/fonts/ttf
sudo chmod 744 *
sudo mkfontscale
sudo mkfontdir
sudo fc-cache-f-V
Exit
4 Install weather plugin in your home directory (/home/user name/) to create a folder CONKYRC, and then the conkyforecast.py copy in, remember to perform
chmod +x conkyforecast.py
Tips: I am in Shanghai, so the weather forecast in the configuration is Shanghai, the other areas of the configuration method:
Open yahoo weather URL: http://weather.yahoo.com/
In Enter city or zip code: Enter your town (only some big cities, small cities can choose closer), search. Then get the code for your city in the address bar, which is a 8-byte string at the beginning of chxx. Then edit the configuration file,
Gedit ~/.CONKYRC
Replace the CHXX0116 with the code in your city
5 After everything is finished run look at the terminal
Conky
Isn't it perfect? If there are any minor problems can be modified under:
6 Let Conky Although the system started, create a file, named conky.sh. Open with Gedit. Paste the following:
#!/bin/bash
Sleep && conky-c/home/username/.CONKYRC
