lol No problem. I can't even remember where I got most of my setup. I do know that the ASCII tux and GNU were my idea, but most everything else was an idea that someone else (several people really)...

Have you tried calling the two conkies via a ssh script? I seem to remember getting that error. If you try the one I have above (called ssc.ssh), or even check out the original script here.

(I'm...

Sure.

ssc.ssh (file that calls all the conky files):
#!/bin/sh
# click to start, click to stop

if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
exec killall conky
else

...just can't stay put for long I guess...
switched to Fedora, and tried to get conky going again. (Debain was VERY NICE, don't get me wrong, but the internet connect had problems, or maybe it was...

Switched to Debian because of personal gripes with 9.10, and because of that, I now have to compile conky 1.7.2 from source. I get the following output from ./configure and I was hoping if someone...

I agree. Yes, Debian is a little more advanced than Ubuntu (as your previous knowledge goes) but their wiki is very indepth and they have the "if this doesn't work, do this" on their pages (specific...

I actually made the switch to Debian Lenny because of 9.10. It takes some tweaking to get compiz and emerald running (mainly emerald), but its worth it. My sound works again! (which has broken since...

Thanks for all the helpful replies. We, my husband and I, ended up backing up the most important of the data that was on that drive, and repartitioned it into 3 smaller partitions. Win7 has had no...

I, personally, have not figured out a way to change the GDM theme, but you can try the steps on this webpage: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html

As for the...

I decided to post this question here because:

Windows help sucks
Ubuntu users know how to fix stuff
All places I go say that the partition is crapped. This is wrong

Ok, here's the skinny...

I used to spell Arkansas Arkansaw as a kid. Just because that's the way it sounds.
Fun fact: in Kansas they pronounce the Arkansas River as the Ar-can-sass River. :D
I love living here. Its nice...

:) Thank you. I honestly have no clue where Maysville is, but I grew up on the outskirts of Little Rock (not in the city limits but on the edge of what is still considered Little Rock by the Post...

Have you tried just:
${font Space Age:size=12}Hello${font}

I've never used the pixelsize but size has always worked for me.

:guitar: You, my good sir, ROCK! :D Of course I read this when I can't change anything (rebooted into another OS).](*,)

Thanks. I've never used goto before, although I've seen a lot of people use it.



Thanks for catching the execi/execpi error. And I tried to change it where it would only call it once an hour,...

First: to my knowledge there is no way to have conky call which distro you are using besides typing it in your config
HOWEVER, you can all the version of the Linux kernal you are using:

or you can try

I would like some help. Or at least be pointed towards a post that will help. :)

you can also call it as an external script (which is what I do):

You caught me, I edited it the day I posted that. :shock:

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for their help. It took a little googling to figure out how to uninstall conky before I install the new one. But once I did, I was able to get the lua...
