This is an old thing that need to update, one of my friend ask the old config for show facebook notifications on desktop with conky.
He gave me the config of conky and also the bash, because the old use it 🙂 i already had tried it before when facebook doesn’t get https by default, yes the one reason this script doesn’t work because facebook using HTTPS, the script just work on normal HTTP.

so what must we do?
1. You must get your notification RSS url.
2. Go here , may be you will ask to login.

3. And you will see the RSS text, right click, copy the URL.
4. We need setup for conky, here i use 2 conky instance.
5. You can copy my facebook conky here, twitter conky here
6. Then you can see that u just copy your RSS url to the place i tell at the conkyrcfacebook
7. if you want to combine it to your own conky just try it.
8. Then save the conkyrcfacebook
9. run conky -c /place/to/your/conkyrcfacebook
10. or run conky -c /path/to/your/conkyrctwitter
