Hi Nale12,great conky just what I was looking for.I,ve got everything to work including the Gmail and system updates which give a blue star when up to date however I have one little problem I could do with your help on.
I,m running Mint 13.In the update category the update count is working and the blue and red stars are fine but where it should say packages mine reads {NULL},the only error I get when starting conky is a parse error at >0 would really appreciate a reply on this one as I,m very keen to keep this conky script for the future. Many thanks chalky10

Did you install aptitude? Try to put in line 51 'texeci 6000 aptitude' instead of 'execi 6000 aptitude'.

I really enjoy the conky script you provided, but there's a small problem. For some reason the gmail script doesn't work (I haven't modified it in any way besides obviously entering username and password). 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I try to run it via terminal, it returns this (username & password changed after pasting):
[fake@archbang ~]$ python2 gmail.py
[link] Bad port number.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gmail.py", line 15, in
fc=int(msg[index+11:index2])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
I know very little about python. Any idea as to how to fix this?
Oops, nevermind. Apparently adding "@gmail.com" isn't necessary (though it still works as a valid url if you try it via browser), and breaks the script. My mistake ^.^

I used Arch with Openbox for a short time, but do not know him very well ...
I come from Debian, so I installed Gnome, however, praise is a really good job.
What do you think of that distribution based on Arch Linux with openbox .. called "archbang"?
is stable and fast like archlinux or are there problems?
I wanted to install on my Eee PC netbooks.

Yes,archbang is very nice distribution,I would recommend it to everyone.
