[Bug 1509592] Re: Error using conky.conf

[Hig Hurtenflurst]

It may actually be a very tiny error in your conky.conf file.

I was plagued by this as well and went into the convert.lua (in 15.10,
it's at /usr/share/doc/conky-std) to see what was going on.  The line
above 138 where the configuration file was split in two caught my eye,
because the regular expression looked like so:

  ^(.-)TEXT\n(.*)$

And sure enough, when checking my configuration file, there were extra
spaces after the word TEXT but before the line break; deleting those
allowed conky to process my configuraton file and properly start.

(To be pedantic, the regular expression could be changed to the
following to make my old configuration file work:

  ^(.-)TEXT *\n(.*)$
 
But it'd be just easier to fix the config file. :)

[Bug 1509592] Re: Error using conky.conf

[slumbergod]

I decided to do a complete reinstall, downloading a new copy of the
Xubuntu image, checking its signature, making a new bootable flash
drive, verifying its integrity.

While the second clean install did eliminate a couple of other weird
issues, the error with conky is still present for me.
