    getting Conky execigraph to work

    Hello I'm new to Ubuntu and am trying to set up a Conky display on my desktop. I've run into a problem with execigraph though, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

    I've got a simple script in ruby:

    Code:
    print rand(100)
    It works fine for the execgraph:
    Code:
     ${execgraph  ~/myStuff/conky/test.rb}
    and prints a nice graph.

    When I try and run
    Code:
    ${execigraph 5  ~/myStuff/conky/test.rb}
    I don't get anything at all. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

    I'm running Ubuntu 12.04

    Any help appreciated!

    can you start your conky from a terminal and post what happens in the output. I'm also reposting your question in the main conky thread

    I get this in the terminal:

    Code:
    Conky: desktop window (2000095) is subwindow of root window (af)
    Conky: window type - normal
    Conky: drawing to created window (0x4e00001)
    Conky: drawing to double buffer
    No errors or anything, the graph just doesn't show up.

    Maybe someone could post a working execigraph example and I can try it on my machine.
