Problem with conky.

ArchMatter · 2008-11-18 19:08:13

Hi, i'm a new user of ArchLinux and i installed GNOME + Openbox, now i'm using only Openbox.

I installed conky and put the config at /home/myuser/ and created a scripts folder in that location too.

When i try to start conky it gives this error.

[pedro@myhost ~]$ conky
Conky: Can't set the specified locale!
Check LANG, LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL.
Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none.  'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none.
Conky: desktop window (1a6) is root window
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1200001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LC_COLLATE = "C",
    LANG = "en_US.utf8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Segmentation fault

What's the problem and how i can resolve the problem?

Thx for all the help and sorry about my bad (horrible) english.

Thx for the post, i configured the locale but Conky don-t start yet.

This time it gives this error.

yes you are just missing some stuff from the config i beleive

Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none. 'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none.
