Sorry but I don't have that problem here and I don't know where it comes from.
Maybe someone else can help!?

I did some tinkering with that line in the past few minutes and it is the degree symbol that brings up the A with the accent. If I take the degree symbol out, the A dissappears...

I only see one degree symbol in the extended keyboard....am I missing something? Is there perhaps a degree symbol and another symbol that are similar, yet signal different things to the software?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
 

I have used the only (and "official") degree symbol that I know and which is available on every keyboard.

conky seems to start always in own window, i fiddled around a bit with it, but i cant start it on the desktop as a "background".

is there a way to do that?

I've not got that to work on Maemo5 and figured that it was more useful in an app window anyway.

i just want to display some basic stuff in the background, like on a desktop pc.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
 

Today I finally solved the problem. I connected the N900 to my PC in mass storage mode and had a look at the conky.conf file. It was corrupted due to copy/paste the text with my N900 from this thread. With my finger I couldn't mark/copy all the text I think.
I have now copied the code with my PC and saved it into conky.conf. Now the  is gone.

Good to know, then have fun with the config! :)

Uhh, so we can't change the color of bars in this version? top_io doesn't work? alignr can't take an offset?
Seriously, I'm going to smash something if i keep trying to make this thing look good. 1.6.1 is only about 11 months old, they must have added a lot to this thing recently! I see this getting updated in the near future, better use of my time than discovering all the stuff that is broken.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
 

Ah. Well, If I was you, I'd start smashing. *****ing isn't going to motivate me to solve your problems.

On the other hand, if you were to tell me that the increased dependencies of latter versions (e.g. Lua) that gave me issues are now satisfied, or that you have satisfied them yourself, then I might be tempted to revisit my earlier efforts and try again with a more modern version. I've been thinking about looking at updating the package anyway, but I'm less inclined to do it soon now.
