Okay, I don't ask for help often, but here it is.
Running Ubuntu 10 (I am not going to upgrade for several reasons, but the distro is not the issue) with these issues.
Issues:
1. Conky. Is there a setting to use that will make it so that I can click on mounted drives/desktop without conky going off into oblivion? Never have the issue with !# and I copied the settings part of the conky setup from there, so it is something with Ubuntu, not the setup.
2. how can I make it to where the drives show up in conky with the space used. Before i set them to auto mount using the fstab, it would show them after I mounted them, so I assume something has changed in the location. Below is my setup:
conky.conf
and everything works but the readings for Windows, CrunchBang, and DATA. they all read 0b /0b.
The fstab, should it help is
and if it helps, I don't know jack about fstab, so I used "storage device manager" program to mount them, and they do mount on startup just fine, so I assume the issue is in the target for the disk reading in conky, not in the fstab.
3. Not that it really matters, but is there a program that is easy to get from either software center or apt-get that will put a load on the GPU so I can check its conky reading. The temp output changes, so it is working, but i have yet to see it go above 100MHz for core and RAM, so I am not sure if they are working, or just outputting a random round number.
thanks for any help.
