Is there any way to configure a wallpaper showing IGEL client info (Hostname, IP address, domain, etc.) like BGinfo utility?
Yes, it’s called conky. It’s a specific Custom Partition you may ask for at our Support.
OK. Opened support ticket. Many thanks.
You are welcome!
Nice! We have used bginfo on our Citrix servers and windows endpoints for years. Not sure why it never crossed my mind to add something to our thin clients.
@member you are too busy on the IGEL Slack
Thanks, nice to hear. I will open a support ticket also
Here’s one I prepared earlier
github.com/carlbehrent/igelprofiles/blob/master/Desktop/bginfo.xml
@member can you publish the custom partition here?
@member We are not allowed to distribute foreign software widely, Conky and mostly every custom partition we have, needs to be asked at our support.
hm…ok
The script posted by @member is different, I‘ve written it by using standard binaries but as soon as we integrate something external, we need you as a customer, to ask us to integrate it
You can also setup a hotkey to display the information.

@member Since it’s the Zenity command it seems to be same that already posted but thank you so much anyway!
@member was looking for this…
Hello, i am looking for an option to show the information on the desktop like this: on Windows did i solve this
Can i also do this on the IGEL OS?
Yes, you could ask at our support for the Conky Custom Partition.
@member With the Conky Application can i set set custom information? Like only IP and Hostname or only Hostname? and with an custom message like i send on the picture?
Yes, it‘s up to you but you will have to script the behaviour like you want:

Does this work with appliance mode?
The conky stuff, no, unfortunately not… The Hotkey ones, yes, but don’t forget to check: Appliance mode access
@member; is that your car? haha, jk
@member Might be a Pagani, I guess… Hem… Let me think… Maybe one day (in a few [thousands of] lifes)😁
I was going to say, they must be paying you REALLY well. 🤑
I‘m paying for working @Igel… Might I have misunderstood something? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
I entered a support ticket for Conky but have not received a response. This was about 4 days ago
Can you provide the Ticket number as PM?
Not sure where I see the number. When I entered the ticket, this is all that was displayed “Support IGEL OS Creator (OSC) / Universal Desktop Converter (UDC)
