Hello all,
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 (originally with Unity, but I installed LXDE on top), and used to be able to run Conky without trouble in whichever DE I wanted to.
As I was unable to use dual Monitors with LXDE, the past month had me using GNOME a lot more often, until I found an hour ago a way of setting it up in LXDE. To my surprise, Conky stubbornly refuses to run in LXDE, single or dual monitors alike. I have no idea why.
These are the messages that it prints as I invoke it from terminal:
:~$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1e0012f) is subwindow of root window (c7)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x5000001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
FATAL_ERROR: The server is not running!
FATAL_ERROR: The server is not running!
FATAL_ERROR: The server is not running!
(Note: from here and on it just keeps looping this line)
Anyone got a clue of what I could do?
I've searched just about the whole internet for some reproduction of this issue, and haven't seen anything close. If someone knows a thread explaining this issue, please let me know.
I will, too, post my .conkyrc upon request, though I don't think it has to do with the issue.
Thanks in advance.
