Since its inception, Conky has evolved significantly while maintaining its simplicity and configurability. Conky can display almost anything, either on your main desktop or in its own window. Not only does it have many built-in objects, but it can also display almost any information using scripts and other external programs.\n\nThis gives you a pre-configured setup for Conky to monitor and display various system information on your desktop.\n\nRequires (g)awk and lsof installed, which is installed by default on all tested systems.\n\n## A versatile Conky configuration file for openSUSE, SLES and Debian\n\nThe Conky configuration file ´conky-osl.conf´ was developed and adapted specifically for running Conky on openSUSE Leap 15.x, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SLES under the GNOME and KDE desktop managers. However, it has not yet been tested under other Linux distributions or desktop environments other than those mentioned below. The configuration file was written by Ralph Roth, ROSE SWE, http://rose.rult.at/ and is subject to his copyright.\n\n## Optimized for dark background images\n\nThis configuration file is designed for use with one or two monitors and various GNOME extensions. It is specifically designed for use with dark background images or backgrounds.\n\n## Requirements\n\nYou need `lsof` and `gawk` (version 4.x or 5.x, not mawk!) installed. lm-sensors is a plus\n\n## Setup/Installation\n\n    cp conky-osl.conf ~/.conkyrc                        ## old style\n\n    mkdir -p ~/.config/conky\n    cp conky-osl.conf ~/.config/conky/conky.conf        ## new style, works with openSUSE Leap 15.5 conky version\n\n    ./chg_lan.sh                                        ## automatic setup with version 1.2++\n\nExample chg_lan.sh run:\n\n    $ ./chg_lan.sh\n    Found interface enxd09466f5977f\n\n\n## Network Monitoring\n\nThe network statistics are currently hard coded (eth0). So if you have an other interface you must adapt (e.g sed) this to your environment! For a quick fix we provide the shell script `chg_lan.sh` that changes eth0 to your first available interface. The script creates a new file `conky-osl-fixedlan.conf` that can be used. The created script will be automatically be copied to the conky config file folder.\n\n## Running Conky\n\nMake sure you have the correct font installed. See `font = 'DejaVu Sans Mono:size=8',`\n\n    nohup conky -c ~/.conkyrc \u0026                         ## old style\n\nGNOME Desktop:  Start Application \"Tweaks\" - select \"Startup Applications\" - click \"+\" sign and select conky from the list (must be running)\n\n### GNOME Autostart Example File\n\n```\nralph@slowroll ~/.config/autostart $ cat conky.desktop\n[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\nName=conky\n# Wayland fix?\nExec=sh -c 'sleep 15 \u0026\u0026 conky --daemonize --pause=1'\nStartupNotify=false\nTerminal=false\nIcon=conky-logomark-violet\nCategories=System;Monitor;\n```\n\n## Example Screenshots\n\n![Example Screenshot 1, GNOME Desktop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roseswe/conky-osl/master/ExampleZorinOS172.jpg \"GNOME/ZorinOS Desktop Example (Dark Background)\")\n![Example Screenshot 2, GNOME Desktop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roseswe/conky-osl/master/ExampleOS155.png \"GNOME 15.5 Desktop Example (Blue Background)\")\n\n## Reference/Variables\n\nSee \u003chttp://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html\u003e\n\nTricks and Tips \u003chttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Conky/Tips_and_tricks\u003e\n\n## Tested Conky Versions\n\nAll tested conky versions so far tested on the following platforms\n\n    $ rpm -q conky\n\n    # ✅openSUSE Leap 15.1\n    conky-1.11.6-pm151.8.17.x86_64, conky-1.11.6-pm151.8.22.x86_64,\n    conky-1.11.6-pm151.8.27.x86_64, conky-1.11.6-pm151.8.37.x86_64\n    # ✅openSUSE Leap 15.2\n    conky-1.11.5-1.20.x86_64\n    # ✅openSUSE Leap 15.3, 15.4 and SLES 15.3/SLES-for-SAP Application 15.3\n    conky-1.11.5-1.20.x86_64\n    conky-1.13.1-150400.10.pm.22.x86_64 (Pakman), conky-1.13.1-150400.10.pm.28.x86_64, conky-1.13.1-150400.10.pm.31.x86_64, conky-1.13.1-150400.10.pm.32.x86_64 (Pakman)\n    conky-1.13.1-150400.11.pm.1.x86_64\n    # openSUSE Leap 15.5/15.6\n    ✅/❌ conky-1.11.5-1.20.x86_64   (openSUSE 15.6)\n    ❌ conky-1.21.7-150600.9.pm.1 (packman), conky-1.22.2-150600.8.pm.2.x86_64  (slow startup)\n    # openSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap/Slowroll\n    TW: ✅conky-1.13.1-3.2.x86_64  (06/2023)  ✅conky-1.21.7-1.2.x86_64 (02/25), ✅conky-1.22.2-1.1.x86_64 (08/25)\n    SR: ✅conky-1.21.7-1.2.x86_64 (02/25), ✅conky-1.22.2-1.1 (09/25)\n    ✅Leap 15.6: 1.13.1-150600.11.pm.8\n    ✅Leap 16.0: conky-1.13.1-bp160.1.3.x86_64\n\n    $ dpkg -l conky|grep conky\n    $ dpkg -l conky-std|grep conky      # ZorinOS 18\n\n    # Debian 12.0-12.5/12.9/12.11, LXDE Desktop\n    ✅conky-1.18.3 (i686)\n    # ZorinOS 17.1/ZorinOS 17.2/17.3\n    ✅conky-1.12.2-1\n    # ZorinOS 18.0/18.1\n    ✅conky/now 1.12.2-1\n    ✅conky-all/noble 1.19.6-1build3\n\n    # Pop!OS 24.04 LTS\n    ✅/❌ conky-1.19.6        ## works, but conky window is visible and can/must be moved each time...\n\n## Todo/Open/Fixme/Issues\n\n- warning: `conky' uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware;
