Hi, I resently discoverd Conky, and what a great tool this is. I would like to share my conkyrc with you, but also ask for some help. I have some problems that I can't put my finger on...
I attach two images to show what I have done, see below.
Problem 1:
I have a are that shows my "STORAGE (other)" which is USB drives that I plug in. I have two at the moment: DM_1GB and DM_8GB. If neither are pluged in, the messgae "No external storage detected" is displayed. If I plug DM_8GB in, it says "DM_8GB have 7.45GiB avalibe". When I unplug it, the original message appears. This is not the problem... the problem is when I plug DM_1GB in, the message "DM_1GB have 90.1MiB avalibe" is displayed, but everthing below dissappear. Hmmm... 
Problem 2:
I have two NETWORKS that I connect to. If both are off, the message "NETWORK is unavalible" appears. At home a WiFi (WLAN) as can be seen in the one image, the other a LAN (ethernet) at the University. I want only the info of the one that is in use to be displayed. The WLAN is working, and not showing any info about the LAN, but when I connect to the LAN the WLAN info (or the frame work) is also displayed. 
Here is my conkyrc

But I will def have a look at using if_up, if it is less buggy then that would be the way to go.
