What lua script are you trying to run?

You could try running conky from terminal and look at the first line for any lua errors

anybody figure out a way to get the yearly vnstat output.

i think the only way would be with a script to add together the data from each month

how do I get rid of the Big V at the top left of conky? and also I'm sure I'm running 10.10 not 10.04, also how to get rid of the big 2 at the bottom left.

Also how do I move the thing around? on the right hand side for instance?

Also terminal keeps repeating "Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main_bars execution failed: attempt to call a nil value" over and over again
