View Full Version : [ubuntu] Odd conky config conflict?

So, I am having a very odd issue with my conky / conky configuration.

It works.. as it has been. Then, wouldn't load up upon startup.. or manually.

Loading my back up config makes it work fine, but changing it a little bit will cause it not to work. Now, here is the real issue. Down the bottom, the ~/.wan-ip script is now not hidden on my filesystem. Conky will load but obviously without that wan-ip field displaying any information. Fine.

This is what I don't understand. In this config file, changing from .wan-ip to wan-ip will make conky not load visually. So I change it back.. and it loads. Now.. changing the actual NAME of the file on my filesystem for that script TO .wan-ip to just be compatible with my old script will also make conky not load at all.

This is very odd. Config is below. I've also tried defining ~/.wan-ip as /home/brendan/wan-ip (with or without the dot). No difference.

Update: It now works, without any changes.

Has anybody experienced this kind of inconsistency with conky?
