CONKYPATH in bl-conkyzen and bl-conky-session about bunsen-utilities HOT 8 CLOSED

But the version I put on line the was for:

$HOME/.config/conky

from bunsen-utilities.

Good. I couldn't recall what was discussed, so I was just double-checking before I edit the scripts :)

from bunsen-utilities.

I have to reopen this.

I just used the bunsenlas-netinstall script and I see that the bunsen conkys (~/.config/conky) are being totally ignored as there is a ~/.conkyrc that is running. It is the old #! default.

from bunsen-utilities.

~/.conkyrc should be a symlink to ~/.config/conky/BL-default.conkyrc

Maybe it wasn't changed to a link as we decided?

from bunsen-utilities.

Indeed it wasn't. My oversight. At the time bunsen-configs was mostly being put together bunsen-conky was still in the development phase.

@capn-damo just to check - the current conky scripts also handle a conky config at ~/.conkyrc so it's now OK to have a file there rather than a symlink?

See this discussion: BunsenLabs/bunsen-conky#9 especially towards the end.

So now it looks as if bunsen-configs might be installing a default conky at ~/.conkyrc.

Still wavering on this one. Users who don't have bunsen-conky should still have a default conky file, so the question is whether it would be better to have it in the standard location, or let bunsen-configs install the single file ~/.config/conky/BL-default.conkyrc (and the rest by bunsen-conky) with a symlink pointing there from ~/.conkyrc, as we were thinking.

Bruce has convinced me there's a case for having a default ~/.conkyrc as well as ~/.config/conky/BL-default.conkyrc as a sort of backup. What do you think @capn-damo ?

from bunsen-utilities.

Doesn't matter to me if ~/.conkyrc is a file or symlink. bl-conkyzen does a check for a file in that location with
CRC="$HOME/.conkyrc".....
if [ -e "$CRC" ].....
so it should work whether or not it is a symlink.

Seems that the netinstall already installs what looks like the waldorf default ~/.conkyrc ?

from bunsen-utilities.

A relic. I switched to symlink in my "test" branch but before merging it with "master" the later discussion came up so it stayed, in its Waldorf state. Now updated, so bunsen-configs puts in a copy of ~/.config/conky/BL-default.conkyrc at ~/.conkyrc, and all the other files (including BL-default.conkyrc) are installed by bunsen-conky.
