Hi,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your script. Im trying to run it on Ubuntu 12.04 but have not succeeded. The script runs but It will not show as expecte. All the words and symbols get clogged. Im not sure what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tony
Thanks for the feedback
ReplyDeleteHow are you running the script and which template.
can u give a link to an image of what you have on the desktop?
Im trying the following:
ReplyDeletesudo ./conky-restart
with the following line of the script uncommented:
conky -c $WX_DIR/examples/wx-wu-font-conkyrc &
and I get this....

You do no need to run it as sudo if you have extracted the program into your home folder.
ReplyDeleteIn the file conky-restart you need to give the path to the program where you have extracted it. See the line WX_DIR=$HOME/bin/conky/conkywx - change the part after $HOME. $HOME is short for /home/yourusername and rest is where you have extracted the program.
I created ~/bin/conky/conkywx directory and placed it there.
ReplyDeleteI also run without sudo and it does the same thing. I tried changing the path to the absolute location but still no luck.
Please go to the /tmp directory and delete the temporary directory wx-tony-conkywx.conf-pChA_r_27u0-m39
ReplyDeleteIf your internet connection is down the program attempts and fails to download data and it waits for another set period.
if the directory does not exist - a new directory will get created and fresh data will be downloaded.
I deleted the folder but still the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI uploaded a log file.

the data is all there - what version of conky are you using
ReplyDeletetry conky -v
Have you tried deleting the conkywx folder and re-extracting the file
ReplyDeletehere is what I get with the same file downloaded and extracted into same location

ReplyDeleteIm using: Conky 1.8.1
OK I was able to replicate your problem

It appears that 1.8.1 is the current vesrion for 12.04 - 1.8.1 has bugs rodents etc ;) I have tested with 1.7.2 and it works fine. I am on Arch Linux.
The current version is in the Backports but i have found the link
