[Solved] Conky error

Hello

I have an error with Conky and I don't see where the problem is.
I have the same Conky running without problems under Archlinux on another machine!

If a charitable soul sees the problem, I'm interested. Thanks in advance.

 cd .conky
 ~/.conky 
 ./conky-startup.sh
conky: Syntax error (/home/armand/.config/conky/conky.date.conf:3: unexpected symbol near '<\194>') while reading config file. 
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.
conky: [string "..."]:148: attempt to index a nil value (local 'settings')
 ~/.conky 

nano ./conky-startup.sh  
sleep 5s
conky -d -c "/home/armand/.config/conky/conky.date.conf"

nano /home/armand/.config/conky/conky.date.conf           
conky.config={
   alignment='top_right',
   background=false,
   border_width=0.5,
   cpu_avg_samples=4,
   default_color='white',
   default_outline_color='grey',
   default_shade_color='black',

   minimum_width=5,
   net_avg_samples=2,
   double_buffer=true,

   own_window_transparent=true,
   own_window_hints='undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
   stippled_borders=0,
   update_interval=1.0,
   uppercase=false,
   use_spacer='none',
   show_graph_scale=false,
   show_graph_range=false
}
conky.text=[[
${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=30}${color white}${time %A %e %B %Y}
]];

Re: [Solved] Conky error

cat /home/armand/.config/conky/conky.date.conf | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The config isn't in old syntax, there's probably some strace stray carriage return or so.

Edit: jeez…
