    Network in Conky

    I set up Conky, followed all the directions and rebooted and every thing works perfect, except the Network display. I'm not sure if I just didn't do something right or if it's because my internet is a tether from my cell phone. When setting up Conky, I checked and my ethernet is listed as "eth2", so in the Conky code I changed all the eth0 to eth2, then in Conky Manager, I set the network as eth2, but it doesn't show any thing in the network section. Did I do wrong when I changed the eth0 to eth2, or is it that it just won't read the network traffic coming from a cell phone? If it's the latter, then I'll go in and delete the Network title reference. I'm not going to spend a lot of time and effort getting this to work, however I would like for it to work, it's one of the reasons I installed Conky. But, I'm not going to start changing a bunch of settings, and wrecking my entire OS.

    This is my network section of my .conkyrc file.
    Code:

    This on my laptop PC.

    What does ifconfig show as your network connection names?

      Here is my entire /etc/conky/conky.conf script. If you copy it make sure that word wrap doesn't split some of the lines. Every line below "TEXT" should start with a $ sign. If it doesn't, then it belongs to the line above.

        I like your use of the {if}{endif} in your networking section. More elegant than mine, which shows both eth0 and eth1 lines, but of course, only shows the traffic on the active connection. I've incorporated the if/endif into mine.

        Thank you!

            thanks to Snowhog, he is wonderful, he always has the answer I need, I ran the ifconfig, and saw automatically, it's actually listed as usb0.
