Conky help error: conky: X Error: type 0 Display

**PantherStu** · December 2nd, 2022

Hi all,
back to linux after a few years, and trying to get my custom conky running.

So have installed and checked it all worked with the default conky.conf. But I get an error when I run with my conky, so know it must be my conky.conf file.
Any help to fix this would be great. Thanks

error:

Code:

stu@stu-Lenovo-B590:~$ conky -c /home/stu/.conky/conkyrc-right.confconky: desktop window (600102) is subwindow of root window (230)
conky: drawing to desktop window

There is an extra coma character at the end of line 30, right before the first ending curly brace (}) in line 31... Take that out and it should work.

Hi I have just looked and cannot find the extra comma,

i have line 30 as

Code:

	color2 = '#c5c5c5',

and the line before the first ( } ) is

Code:

	color3 = '#ff8400',

which also only has one comma

**MAFoElffen** · December 2nd, 2022

This in red

Code:

            color2 = '#c5c5c5',
            color3 = '#ff8400',
        }

The comas are field separators... But there shouldn't be one at the end, before the closing curly brace.

EDIT: With it there, it is expecting another field (which is not there).
