Conky doesn't show (XFCE 4.8) and keeps asking password? [SOLVED]

killerturtle · 2011-06-29 08:48:31

I've finally got XFCE4.8 all dressed up the way I want it to look.
Only problem left is Conky:

1.It simply doesn't show on the desktop.
2.It keeps asking for a password?

If i start conky via terminal i get this:

=========================================================

[sven@myhost ~]$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1400003) is subwindow of root window (15d)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2000001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Password:

=========================================================

My .conkyrc looks like this:

=========================================================

own_window yes
own_window_colour 0F0D0D

use_spacer right
use_xft yes


# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1

# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window  yes
own_window_transparent no
own_window_type override
own_window_hints undecorate,below,skip_taskbar,sticky)

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes


#colour
default_color  808080
own_window_colour 333333

#font
use_xft yes
xftfont Droid Sans:pixelsize=11

# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 0

# border margins


# border width
border_width 1

Any help is appreciated!

Please use tags when pasting code: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

You have a sudo in there...

killerturtle · 2011-06-29 09:12:20

Fixed the code tags (sorry)!

If i execute hddtemp without sudo is doesn't work, any way to fix this?

If I comment out the sudo part, conky still doesn't show

jasonwryan · 2011-06-29 09:33:03

You should look at using visudo to make this script run with the hddtemp call...

Comment own_window_hints and change own_window_type to dock
