Informations système sur le bureau

Si aimez bien avoir tout sous la main, l'heure, le jour, le kernel, la place restante sur vos disques dur…

Il existe plusieurs logiciels :

• Conky - un fork de torsmo
• torsmo qui n'est plus supporté

Ouvrez un terminal et entrez la commande :

sudo apt-get install conky

Ensuite pour lancer conky, faites simplement :

conky

Pour mettre conky au démarrage de fluxbox, je vous renvoie sur la page startup.

Pour voir le manuel :

man conky

Pour une configuration avancé, il vous faudra créer un fichier nommé ".conkyrc" dans votre /home/user/. Pour le remplir, au choix :

• Allez dans /usr/share/doc/conky/examples et utilisez le fichier dans l'archive
• Rentrer les infos suivantes (C'est ma config, libre a vous de la modifier) :

Personnellement j'utilise (sur dapper mais avec le paquet des dépôts breezy), Avant tout, installons torsmo (pour ceux sous breezy):

sudo apt-get install torsmo

Le paquet n'est pas disponible dans les dépôts dapper, alors aller le récupérer sur les dépôts breezy tout simplement, ça marche impeccable. Une fois installé, vous pouvez personnaliser votre ~.torsmorc, si vous voulez des exemples de fichiers, allez sur le forum.

Voici un exemple de ~/.torsmorc :

  own_window no
  double_buffer yes
  minimum_size 65 5

  draw_borders yes
  stippled_borders 0
  border_margin 4
  border_width 1
  default_color green
