Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[LastDino]

I fixed it, but we are back to square one. Also, since I brought back my .conkyrc file the sensor error thing is back as well.

However, I tried running that executable script individually to see what happens, this is what I get.

Does that tell you anything?

Yes it tells me your trying to run a shell script as a conky config.
You want the path to the conky config not conky -c /path/shellscript

You need to open the conky config with your text editor and correct the line that calls the shell script
to reflect the correct path.
Then run conky - c /path/to/conkyconfig

Oh sorry, I got that command mixed up, but that hasn't changed anything either. Also, where do I add/call that executable script then? Or is it suppose to just sit in /home/glen/ and it will be used by concyrc automatically?

Right out put of that script would be

glen@maxwell:~$ ./conky-rss.sh
Diff on Revision
Redmine Time Log
Easy CRM
Redmine Pusher Notifications
redmine_customized_report

I've posted my ''.conkyrc'' on last page, I'm still using the same, so could you tell me what needs to edited to get the desired output of RSS live feed in that? Also, I'm still unsure about installing kernels of those sensors, I did follow the first 3 steps mentioned in the link you provided, later steps were about how to edit and include those sensors in .conkyrc, which I didn't need to do as that config file already had those lines.

[grumblebum2]

The script is called automatically when you run the config you labelled as .conkyrss
Edit the last line in that config to use the path to your RSS script.
IE
The error was shown when you ran this config...

 glen@maxwell:~$ conky -c ~/.conkyrss
Conky: desktop window (80001d) is subwindow of root window (7c)
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2600001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
sh: 1: /home/jj/conky-rss.sh: not found

If "sensors" gives no output when ran in terminal you wont get output in conky either.
Run sensors-detect again making sure to answer yes to all.
The output you get from sensors depends on your hardware so most likely
the line in your conky config will need to be adapted to your sensors output.

[LastDino]

Well, now I see this.

Looks like that script is finally connected, but what to do now? .lol

Thanks for all the help. I'll try the sensor thing again.

[grumblebum2]

FYI just so there's no confusion.
When you just run "conky" it will look for and load a config at ~/.conkyrc
Alternatively you can load any config with

conky -c /path/to/config

So you can save configs anywhere and name what you like
And just use the -c option to load.

If you only want to run the one conky you can copy your config and save as ~/.conkyrc
So to run this config you need only run "conky" without specifying a config.
If a conky config calls scripts to display info you must check that the line in the conky config
that calls the script, reflects the path to where you saved the script and it is executable.

This has cleared lot of things even though it is not in working state yet, but thank you ^^

Also, either use "/home/glen/" as path to your home directory or "~" - "~/home/glen/" is not valid, because it is evaluated by shell as "/home/glen/home/glen/".

Hello conky enthusiasts, I made this script that uses YAD. http://sourceforge.net/projects/yad-dialog/
It starts, stops and restarts multiple conky script at will. It works pretty good but maybe someone can help me improve the script to be more efficient.

So, I got that sensor thing fixed on PC, it was actually missing libs for gnome, I installed them from Synaptic.

Now, I simply want to add the output of my fan speed and my CPU temp to that conky, what kind of line do I need to add? Also, how do I add some image to that conky?
