or is a result of the gmail lookup.
^The above is an error which occurs if you dont have hddtemp installed or lm-sensors installed. Make sure you follow the guide step by step otherwise it will not work. That said I can't confuirm the abvoe cause right now IM on a Windows box. Post your questions here with the actual errors and I will see what I can do. I rarely check this thread so if I appear inactive just post it at mysite and I'll respond to you wherever :).

Can anybody help or do you have a tutorial-link?
The problematic message is (see posting above):
"gethostbyname: Unknown host"

So I would remove that from your conky as a first step and see if that gets thigns working for you. If it does, that's your problem - there are lots of little gmail scripts you can 'borrow' out there for conky, just play until you find one that works - basically, its the icon that kewl, so you can swap out something that doesn't work for something that does.
I had to do that with the i2c commands (did not work for me, but another script did) as well as the HDD temperture - I had to call it directly - the local host error did not work.
Hope that helps you troubleshoot. Took me a while to get this script working and had some great assistance from 'the void', but its humming like a charm now.

But I still cannot get this working, either my localhsot is getting a connection refused, or gethostbyname is failing - hitting both errors.

First of all, I really like your Conky configuration.
Now I got a problem: I've downloaded all fonts you mentioned and placed them in ~/.fonts. When I start Conky I get to see this:
Conky: desktop window (10000b5) is subwindow of root window (187)
Conky: drawing to desktop window
Conky: drawing to single buffer
Conky: can't load font 'weather:size=42'
Conky: can't load font 'weather:size=42'
Conky: can't load font 'weather:size=28'
I googled a bit and found that I may need to compile Conky with XFT support enabled (which apparently wasn't in the repo version). So I compiled it, installed it and still got the same error. Later I found that i may need to install XFSTT, so I tried this but I still got this font problem. What should I do?
btw, when I remove the weather part of .conkyrc I get "can't load font" errors for all other fonts.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
