Hello! Is it possible to make it visible on with wallpaper? Your temp, memory, etc. If so, how? :)

Hi

I don't use it myself but to display it on wallpaper you may like to install conky from the Synaptic package manager

There is also gkrellm which is more of a widget or icon that sits on your wallpaper.

conky embeds itself into the wallpaper.

You can see a quick comparison of images here if interested

Hi then00b,

Have you discovered the outstanding Help Manual yet?

For general questions this is the best starting point you can get. If you then run into problems or need further assistance don't hesitate to ask here on the Forums with as much background information as possible.

I use conky myself. It's extremely powerful.
The installation is the one thing - and easy to do. The fun - in both ways - starts with the configuration.

Further information (by far not complete!):

There is also a graphical font-end for managing Conky configuration files:

Hope that helps for a start :)

Okay, that is more than enough. Thank you. :)

I noticed some issues with Conky 1.10 (version in LL3.0) where 1.9 (version in LL2.8 ) was more stable..
Where the config files didn't work the same as they did in 1.9...

But to install as described here
https://www.term.dpdns.org/forums/relea.../#msg23912

Conky (1.10):
Problems: Items not working the same as previously in 2.8 (conky 1.9)
Fix: Conky was updated to 1.10, googled and several threads discuss.. I rolled back to 1.9 as I just wanted it to work for the time being.. May revisit

If already installed - remove

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge conky-std && sudo apt-get autoremove

Then... *Note version required (64bit or 32bit) for 32 I used xxxx_i386.deb

Code:

w get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/conky/conky-std_1.9.0-4_amd64.deb

Remove the space from w get

Again replace with xxxx_i386.deb

Code:

sudo gdebi conky-std_1.9.0-4_amd64.deb

Finally so it doesn't get updated:

Code:

sudo apt-mark hold conky-std
