This is the file that tells the software center where to get the packages.
It looks like the backports repo is enabled because of these lines:
So, I don't know exactly why it installed the older version.Code:deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Question Everything
Because the ACTUAL 1.9.0-2 package isn't IN the backports yet. It didn't activate because the "Transitional Package" isn't the version, it's just a way to not have 1.8.1-6 installed. And, as many things are in Ubuntu, it is a bad thing to do on behalf of the contributors for Ubuntu. 12.04 has all sorts of mistakes in it. Best to go around them rather than wait for them to fix the problems.
The vincent PPA gets around Ubuntu. It's an alternate source. Once installed, it doesn't matter what Ubuntu said, did, or offered you. A proper source for Conky is installed, no dummy packages, transitions, or coding mis-steps. Problem solved.

Well, like the title of the thread says, here's my .conkyrc and screenshot! Still a work in progress. I've got lots to learn! Tips are welcome! I was wondering if it's possible to have both Fahrenheit and Celsius units?

I've managed to create the following conky on my Desktop (attached) - but as you can see the bar graphs are too high. My guess is I've got to edit the /.conky/bargraph_small.lua file - I was hoping to find some settings for the vertical height (something like ${voffset 4})? Is there a setting in /.conky/bargraph_small.lua that will lower all the graphs? I have 4 cpus so I need to add cpu2 and cpu3 so not only do I need to lower all the graphs but to increase the gap between the processor bars and the HDD bars. Any advice appreciated.
