    Conky script not working

    This is the first time I have tried this. I am trying to run a script that runs at startup. I have followed directions found at this Website: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/how-t...ure-conky.html
    Everything works except the script which consists of two lines.

    #!/bin/bash
    sleep 30 && conky ;

    I changed the file permissions to be executed and named it .conky-startup.sh.

    Then I went to System>Preferences>Startup Applications and created a new entry that points to my script file. When I restarted my system, Conky didn't start. If I try to run the file from Nautilus or the Terminal, nothing happens.

    Thanks for any ideas on this.

    Re: Conky script not working

    Are those two lines in a gedit, and in home where it is linked to the startup manager.

    Re: Conky script not working

    Yes, I used gedit to create the file. The file is located in /home/mike. I used the browse function in startup manager to select the file. But remember, the file doesn't even run when I type it in at the Terminal.

    Just now, I killed Conky from the command prompt, then typed "./conkystart.sh" and I got the following response:










    mike@mike-desktop:~$ ./conkystart.sh
    Conky: /home/ubuntuadmin/.conkyrc: 39: no such configuration: 'border_margin'
    Conky: one or more $endif's are missing
    Conky: forked to background, pid is 4016
    mike@mike-desktop:~$
    X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
    Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
    Resource id in failed request: 0x1a228e2
    Serial number of failed request: 252
    Current serial number in output stream: 252

    I notice that the first line has a directory path that doesn't exist. Perhaps when I configured conky-colors, I didn't tell it the proper path?

    Thanks

    Can you post your conkyrc here(/home/mike/.conkyrc . Ctrl+H to see hidden files like this one)?

    Re: Conky script not working

    I don't know if it was a copy and paste error but the config you posted
    has a number of errors in it with spaces where they shouldn't be.
    eg
    Code:
    ${co lor}${font} U: ${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${color2}${mem}${color}${fo nt}

    Save this as .conkyrc in your home folder
    Code:

    I changed the file permissions to be executed and named it .conky-startup.sh.
    Just now, I killed Conky from the command prompt, then typed "./conkystart.sh" and I got the following response:
    If you saved the startup script as .conky-startup.sh in your home folder, then the
    command to run it is
    Code:
    ./.conky-startup.sh
    with the preceding dot.

    I tested the startup script with a reboot and it runs fine here.
    You should have a startup script in your ~/.conkycolors/bin folder anyway.

    Re: Conky script not working

    ${co lor}${font} U: ${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${color2}${mem}${color}${fo nt}
    I'll check it, but if it's not a copy and paste error, how would I fit it?

    Save this as .conkyrc in your home folder

    If you saved the startup script as .conky-startup.sh in your home folder, then the
    command to run it is
    Code:
    ./.conky-startup.sh
    with the preceding dot.

    I tested the startup script with a reboot and it runs fine here.
    You should have a startup script in your ~/.conkycolors/bin folder anyway.
    When I turned on my system this morning, Conky was there. I had tinkered a little bit (but not your suggestions - I hadn't seen them yet) before I shut down last night. Can't remember what it was right now, but it worked. Thanks to all for your help.
