jcolyng, thanks for the conky config. Here is what I have so far in my lxde mini running in vb. I don't understand some of it and may need some help if I can't get it right.

In order to get the cpu and hard drive temps, you'll need to install hddtemp and lm_sensors from synaptic. Once installed open a terminal and enter

Code:

su

then your root password. Now enter

Code:

sensors-detect

and answer "yes" to all the questions. Next copy the below file into your /etc/default folder as hddtemp. Do not add an extension. Reboot and see if everything works.

Go here for the icons.

Code:

# Defaults for hddtemp initscript (/etc/init.d/hddtemp)
# This is a POSIX shell fragment

# Master system-wide hddtemp switch. The initscript will not run if it is not
# set to true. STOP THE SERVICE BEFORE DISABLING IT!

# [automatically edited by postinst, do not change line format or set it to
# anything but false or true ]

# List of devices you want to use with hddtemp. If none specified,
# hddtemp will probe standard devices.

# List of devices you want to use with hddtemp, but that would not be
# probed for a working sensor.
DISKS_NOPROBE=""

# IP address of the interface on which you want hddtemp to be bound

# Port number on which you want hddtemp to listen on. If none specified,

# Database file to use. If none specified, /etc/hddtemp.db is used.
