Monitorea tu Ubuntu con Conky

DriveMeca instalando Conky en Ubuntu
Sea por curiosidad o necesidad que necesitas saber en todo momento el estado de tu pc en cuanto a memoria RAM total/libre, procesadores, disco, tarjetas de red, temperatura, por mencionar algunos. Entonces necesitas leer este articulo donde te mostrare como instalar paso a paso Conky, un monitor liviano opensource para X que te muestra en tu desktop en tiempo real todo esto y mas de muchas formas posibles al poder disponer de "temas" creados por la comunidad listos para poder usarlos.
Usaremos un Ubuntu 14.04 actualizado completamente para este articulo y si no sabes como instalarlo, da click en este link donde muestro paso a paso con screenshoots como hacerlo. Después de esta breve introducción, comencemos entonces.

-Abrimos una terminal y ejecutamos el siguiente comando para instalar conky y algunas dependencias necesitadas

sudo apt-get install conky-all curl fonts-droid

-Instalamos mas dependencias

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp

-Configuramos sensores dejando sus valores por default presionando Enter cada vez que nos pida una acción

sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 6170 (2013-05-20 21:25:22 +0200)
# System: TOSHIBA Satellite S845 [PSKF6P-002001] (laptop)
# Board: Type2 - Board Vendor Name1 Type2 - Board Product Name1

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595...                       No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors...                          No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors...                            No
AMD K8 thermal sensors...                                   No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors...                   No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 15h power sensors...                             No
AMD Family 16h power sensors...                             No
Intel digital thermal sensor...                             Success!
    (driver `coretemp')
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor...                         No
VIA C7 thermal sensor...                                    No
VIA Nano thermal sensor...                                  No

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0xfc11
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290...                   No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel Panther Point (PCH)
Module i2c-i801 loaded successfully.
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.

Next adapter: i915 gmbus ssc (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: i915 gmbus vga (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: i915 gmbus panel (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: i915 gmbus dpc (i2c-3)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: i915 gmbus dpb (i2c-4)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: i915 gmbus dpd (i2c-5)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):

Next adapter: DPDDC-B (i2c-6)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `coretemp':
  * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!

Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)

Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading i2c-i801... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK

-Activamos el bit sticky
sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp

-Ejecutamos conky

Con esto ya tenemos Conky ejecutándose en nuestro Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04, no fue complicado cierto? En un próximo articulo veremos como personalizar a Conky con temas
