conky doesn't show network speed
« on: August 30, 2026, 01:51:38 AM »
In 17.x86-64 conky doesn't show download and upload speed. In 14.x85-32 it works.

Also, how to configure conky, that it will be embedded in jwm wallpaper?

What error message do you get when you try to add the upload/download speeds to your conky config and run conky from a terminal window?

If you google on “incorporate conky into jwm desktop” it gives a detailed description.
