Hello all, I have a very simple conkyrc file that just displays the last 10lines in a file in the bottom right corner of my desktop. After upgrading to Hardy it now only displays 6 lines instead of 10 and the text for the last line keeps getting cut off. For example instead of saying " /media/MetalBox/Backups/DAILY/1" it says " /media/M". Can anyone take a look at my script and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I can post the file it reads from if need be, but there's at least 1000 lines in, and all seem to be correctly formated.

Found the solution else where. For anyone whose interested I need to increase the text_buffer_size from it's default. No Idea why the upgrade broke it though.
