OK, got it:

conkyrc file - remove the 2. line
"Update interval in seconds"

Please be careful: .conkyrc and conkyrc are not the same. Please check the file name: .conkyrc is a hidden file, conkyrc is not hidden.

Also, change the BAT0, it should be BAT1.

copy the files to a place you know. For example ~/

then try to start each conky:

conky -c ~/conkyrc
conky -c ~/conkyrc1

if it works, make start_conky.sh:

#!/bin/sh
conky -c ~/conkyrc &&
conky -c ~/conkyrc1 &&

save in ~/
then:

chmod +x start_conky.sh

then:

sh start_conky.sh

You have nothing to display in conky. After TEXT you need things

http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ky-thread/

Have a look there.

Another thing:
If in start_conky.sh you have conky -c ~/.config/conky/conkyrc and conky ~/.config/conky/conkyrc1 , you have to save the two configuration files in ~/.config/conky/

Hello,

start_conky.sh

#!/bin/sh
conky -c ~/.config/conkyrc
conky -c ~/.config/conky1rc

check, where is conkyrc and conky1rc

chmod +x start_conky.sh

Try in terminal first.
Is it okay then?
