I was attempting to add an antix-logo image to the top of my newly installed frugal install of antiX 15. All that is displayed is ${image}. When I execute conky from a terminal I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

 $conky
 Conky unknown variable image
I did an internet search and found a post for ubuntu 15.04 which has the same issue, which there is a bug report #1439879 related to imlib2. This may be an upstream issue from with this package
The code for the conkyrc file :

Code: Select all

TEXT
#${color3}${alignc}antiX
${alignc}${image $HOME/Pictures/antix-logo-3.png -s 56x56}
.
.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

That install is non existent now. You can see my logo in the screenshot.
I have not made one like it since either. Not sure if I had conky-std or conky-all installed either.
Had that running for years. Then changed it over to MX-14.

OK, it's fixed now. I installed conky-all. I now have an image displayed.

This has nothing to do with conky-std or conky-all package.

In your line of the position of the image is missing on the desktop.
Example:

Thanks for responding. All input following the conky command is optional, the -p ( and/or -s) option is not mandatory. It only controls the positioning if needed to position the image other than the first position of the line. I have ran it with and without. It received an error when run against conky-std, but not when run against conky-all.

Code: Select all

 $ conky --help
Usage: conky [OPTION]....

Why do you think, it's displayed in brackets (-p x,y) ? Because it's optional. Rather than posting inflammatory emoticons, why don't you try and see if it works without the optional positioning for yourself. You may learn something.
