Conky part 2

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Last post i use conky to show if i’m connnected to tailscale network.
Now I updated my config to show packages and flatpak numbers of updates

Note: sudo apt-get requires password, so need to edit or
add config file to /etc/sudoers.d ¹

check_update.sh

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update > /dev/null 
update=$(aptitude search "~U" | wc -l)
echo $update update available

flatpak_update.sh

#!/bin/bash
update=$(flatpak remote-ls --updates -a | wc -l)
echo $update update available

add to conky.conf

Pkg: ${alignr}${execi 7200 ~/.local/bin/check_update.sh}
Flatpak: ${alignr}${execi 10800 ~/.local/bin/flatpak_update.sh}

It all started because i wanted to know whether i’m connected to tailscale or not. So i made some simple conky config to display some data

conky.config = {

alignment = 'top_right',
background = false,
border_width = 1,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
--default_color = '#92B662',
default_color = 'white',
double_buffer = true,
font = 'Ubuntulight:size=10',
gap_x = 20,
gap_y = 40,
minimum_width = 200,
no_buffers = true,
update_interval = 1.0,
use_xft = true,
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'normal',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 255,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
draw_graph_borders = false,

};

conky.text = [[

Dulu saya ada blog di wordpress.com, tapi itulah jarang update sebab tidak tau apa mau type content. Saya plan mau delete blog di wordpress dan pakai github pages saja sambil-sambil belajar git dengan markdown.

Sebelum lupa, merry early christmas from me
