For some reason it's shorting lines, so:
All the term output looks good:

Oke, for the connections box I shorten the text when longer than x-character so it will fit into the box. Making the box wider is also an option. As for the CPU. It could have something to do with the fact that you have 12 cores. I only display 8 as a maximum. What you could do is goto line 418 and uncomment '--numofcpus=8' and chang it to 4 or 8 and see if then your CPU is displayed correctly. (the numofcpus is an debug value I put in to test for more than 4 cores, I only have 4 myself)

Hmmm-Strange, I uncommented line 418 & changed cpu detection from "no" to "yes"---And get this error:

conky: llua_do_call: function conky_check_network_interfaces execution failed: /home/dean/.conky/lines/lines.lua:1073: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 's' (a nil value)

Not sure why a cpu test function would cause this line error.

Hmmm--line 1073 is about Cpu names.....Why would it refer to network interface info?

Uploaded a new version. The problem was the reading of the cpu_sensor function, this is removed for now.

Just downloaded it & it works---Only thing I need to do is enlarge the main box-showing 12 cpu graphs tends to mess up the look :)

Well--I reported too soon...The first line (cpu 1 to 4) reports load, but the lines after do not (5 to 8 & 9 to 12) Those lines all report load @ 93%. I'll mess with it over the next couple of days & try to see what is going on......

Good to hear that. I only have 4 cpu cores and tested with 8 by displaying the first 4 again. For displaying 12 cores you will need to alter conky_basic_cpu and adjust the layout accordingly.

Well, I am able to reproduce the problem now. I have reinstalled Ubuntu 18 on my laptop and there I get the same error. The moment I set show_cpu to no the error is gone. Still have to figure out where it is going wrong though.

Hmm not sure why. s is a variable in the cpu section. You could try adding a print statement to print the value of s and see what comes back.

Hi Moob...
Just tried to use your new version...Have not used the old version in quite a while & it looks like Debian Testing will not work with ifconfig anymore....Since my config is purely a desktop--I don't need to do a lot with interfaces--could you head me in the right direction to just hardwire the network interface?

if you change line 1107 to, local address =conky_ownpreexec("ip addr | grep -E"..iface.." | grep inet | grep -oE '[0-9]\{1,3\}\\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\/[0-9]{1,2}' | tr '\\n' ' ' | awk -F \"/\" '\{print $1\}'") it should be working

Well---maybe my bonded interface is the problem? Using 2 NIC cards as bond0. did the above mod & here is the output:

conky: llua_do_call: function conky_check_network_interfaces execution failed: /home/dean/.conky/lines/lines.lua:1062: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 's' (a nil value)
grep: invalid argument ‘0’ for ‘--directories’
Valid arguments are:

I don't test on bonded interfaces, so that might be the problem. I will see if I can test it.

Is there a way to just bypass the config testing & define the interface straight?

I have uploaded a new v 0.4 version. I have tested this on the latest Debian Testing and Ubuntu 14. On thing though, I could create the bond interfaces and view them via 'ip addr' and conkylines displays the correct IP, the static bond0 IP, but for some reason I cannot connect to the Internet. This has to do with my lack of knowledge about debian and bonding interfaces. (don't use bonding myself)

So, I did not observe any strange things. ConkyLines start correctly on both systems.

Hmmmm--I'm still seeing the main execution error....I've got work to do, so I'll revisit this in a couple of hours.....As for bonding--I use SystemD to create the bond. After figuring out how to do it--it works very well..

OK-dug into it a bit & get this from terminal output:

conky: llua_do_call: function conky_check_network_interfaces execution failed: /home/dean/.conky/lines/lines.lua:1067: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 's' (a nil value)

So, it looks like the same problem still.....

Just to be sure, row 1067 is the conky_basic_get_cpu_sensors function ? If you comment this out in detect_hardware, do you still get the error ?
As for bonding, seem to work now but I can't ping to the outside world. Still investigating why.

Yes--I'm shaking my head...it is the CPU area. I'm now running an X99 board with a i7-5820K. As soon as I removed the CPU graphs & speed the conky works....

So it all works, but the graphs for memory, swap & harddrives are about 300px lower than the box they "should" be in...I would guess the remove of the CPU graphs changed the spacing?

Report

Yes, when you do not display the CPU info the spacing changes. I will see if I can fix that.
You could check if you run the sensors command, with a commandline as shown in the code, to see what you get back.
