Ok, I found one I liked better, cut and paste it into the file and now it doesn't work. Guess I've got to figure a few more things out or should I simply delete all the files and start over?

After editing .conkyrc and saving, conky reloads.
If it doesn't, run
then start conky again.Code:killall conky
Look for errors in the terminal.
PS When posting configs, highlight the pasted in text with left mouse and hit the "#" icon to enclose in code blocks.
Ok, so that one didn't work. So, how can I remove conky and everything else I've installed with it in Terminal so I can start over fresh at a later time?
P.S.
Ok, I think I got it, sudo apt-get remove. did that for conky and hddtemp, tried it for lm-sensor but that wasn't installed so it didn't need to be removed.

If you try again, take a look here at a fairly basic config I posted a while ago.
A couple of posts later you'll find the fonts needed.

That one looks pretty good. All I'd like is a CPU, Memory and Fan monitor in the upper right corner that will stay on the desktop and behind my browser window when I'm on the interweb. I'd also like to toggle it off and on from the upper task bar is possible.
I might look around to see if there's anything else besides Conky that might work for my needs but if not you can expect more "stupid" questions from me about Conky,LOL. Thanks.
I downloaded GKrellM but I'm not crazy about it. I also downloaded Jupiter and that'll give me CPU temps and let me tweak my power settings a bit but I'd love something that'd look like gauges in a car that I could stack along the right side of my desktop that'd give me temps, cpu usage, ram useage, ect. I'll check the link you posted and see if I can find something I like, Thanks.
