Look at the bash printout and you'll see that its looking for several graphics, one in /usr/something and the other in /tmp. Is that what you're looking for?
Greetings from Maidstone! :) as I see that you're in Chatham :)

Thanks for the quick response Madame.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I've deployed Conkywx by the book. All fonts are installed and the fonts are cached.
I'm actually trying to use the image template in Conkywx.
If I runI get:Code:./conky-restart.sh
The above image does exist in the directory.Code:Conky: received SIGINT or SIGTERM to terminate. bye!
[jh@linux-qg9w conkywx]$ Conky: desktop window (e0022a) is subwindow of root window (ae)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1c00001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: Unable to load image '/usr/share/conkywx/images/bgrounds/short-brown-rnd-light.png'
Check the permissions of the graphic, that may be the problem. Also, if you have the .conkyrc file in something like geany or leafpad, then every time you save it conky will auto-redraw, saving you having to start it up again.
Sharon.
Here is my number 1 conky script, with two problems that I haven't got a solution for, but would love one if you please?
[A] There is too much space below the date, but I cant see how to remove the excess space, any ideas please?
[B] In the weather its too bunched up, how do I get it into just two lines of script, as well as leaving a small space below the $DATE forecast?
Thanks
Sharon.

## Development Platforms (current)
#
# Ubuntu 10.10 'Maverick Meerkat' (GNOME 2.28 - Conky 1.8.0)
# Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin' (GNOME-SHELL - UNITY 2D/3D - Conky 1.8.1)
# Screen Resolution: 1280x1024x24 (DELL UltraSharp 1907FP)
####
## Prerequisites (required)
#
# conky-all 1.8.0 or 1.8.1-5
# cURL - Command Line Tool
# xsltproc - Command Line Tool
# UTF-8 Compatible Text Editor
#
## Tips n' Tricks
## Several ppl (including myself) have experienced issues with conky-all 1.8.1-6
## In every instance, downgrading to conky-all 1.8.1-5 has solved the problem(s).
## I recommend using (and pinning) conky-all 1.8.1-5 until things get sorted.
## conky-all 1.8.1-5 can be downloaded here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky-all/1.8.1-5

####
## This buffer is used for text, single lines, output from $exec, and other variables.
## Increasing the text buffer size (too high) will drastically reduce Conky's performance.
## Decreasing the size (too low) will truncate content and cause strange display output.
## Standard text buffer size is 256 bytes (cannot be less). Adjust YOUR buffer wisely!

Have you looked at the permissions of that /express graphic/ file? It may be different to what you are expecting.

Alot of dead empty space in this widget.
Rythmbox, Banshee (Lines 385-396) aren't being used. So use a negative value for ${voffset 5} on Line 401. This will move your MPD section up.
In your weather section increase the vertical space with a positive ${voffset X}. Lines 418 and 419 and Lines 424 and 425.
There are some good scripts hosted on gnome-look.org -- Conky-colours is a nice minimalist one (but without the weather script).
Can't help with the weather, yet, but this is the answer for your space problem under DATE:
First thing I did was get rid of the lines you are not using to make it easier to see what's what. The second section is the fix.

When you use multiple if statements where one of three things could be happening ... put the beginning ${if_something} on the line before the action for the first one and on the same lines as the ${endif} statements for the next two - otherwise you are using screen lines for negative responses to the if statments, as seen above.
Also you are missing an endif for the mpd section.
Thanks to a little help from Paramvir. Had to install Conky 1.9.0 and imlib2-loaders on openSUSE.
Running on OpenBox.
Not perfect, still quite shabby, mind -- working on it..
Seeing this thread reminds me that I really ought to get a working conky going on my new machine. Since the specs and capabilities are so different than my old machine, I'm thinking I should just start from scratch. I'd like for it to be more on the minimal side, even if my machine could handle the more fancier ones. Somehow I always have issues with one thing or another using it in Lubuntu.
One day, I'll have to go back and check out what's been done and see if there are some features I like. There's a lot of nice work done here, but this thread is just too massive to go bumbling through. Anyone ever think of making a v2 of this thread? Naturally, it should have a link to this mega-thread.
