Thanks for your job and time! Appreciate you efforts as I used to see how my computer works and used in the past superkaramba

Works on PI400 but doesn't start automatically. Need manual start, which is not big issue, but here is the result when I start it manually:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ conky conky: Syntax error (/home/pi/.conkyrc:1: '=' expected near 'yes') while reading config file. conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion. conky: desktop window (120011f) is subwindow of root window (372) conky: window type - normal conky: drawing to created window (0x1e00001) conky: drawing to double buffer conky: forked to background, pid is 1450 pi@raspberrypi:~ $

See this thread. Up-to-date Conky no longer works with this conkyrc. The syntax is outdated.

A user there has fixed the syntax to work with the new version:

I think that network Upload and Download are reversed. But I know that some people use the reversed in some cases.
Is this planned ?

All that is needed is to comment out CPU cores 2, 3 and 4.
First kill the conky process:

Alt-F2 killall conky

Then open the .conkyrc with geany

geany .conkyrc

Locate the CPU section (mine was lines 45-48) and insert a # in front of CPU2, 3 and 4:

${font Arial:bold:size=10}${color Tan1}CPU ${color DarkSlateGray}${hr 2}
$font${color DimGray}Temp: $alignr ${exec /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c6-9} C
$font${color DimGray}CPU1  ${cpu cpu1}% ${cpubar cpu1}
#CPU2  ${cpu cpu2}% ${cpubar cpu2}
#CPU3  ${cpu cpu3}% ${cpubar cpu3}
#CPU4  ${cpu cpu4}% ${cpubar cpu4}
${cpugraph DimGray DarkSlateGray} $color

In geany, click file, then save

Alt-F2 conky

Should pop right up.
