It's complaining that the variable $image is unknown, yet that is a standard variable in conky: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html

zagortenay333 commented 9 years ago

Does this happen with all conky themes for you?

zagortenay333 commented 9 years ago

Does it work now?

I had the same problem, and I solved it, so I figured I'd post a solution, in case anyone else ends up having the same problem. (This page ranks pretty high on Google.)

In Ubuntu, apparently you need to install the conky-all package to get lua scripting support in Conky. Without lua support, conky doesn't know what to do with the $image variable

According to this link: http://mylittledesktop.blogspot.com/2009/10/quick-explanation-to-conky-packages-in.html

conky-all includes almost all of the available support:

X11, XDamage, XDBE, Xft, MPD, MOC, math, hddtemp, portmon, RSS, curl, Weather (METAR and XOAP), wireless, IBM, nvidia, eve-online, Imlib2, ALSA mixer, apcupsd, I/O stats, Lua and Lua bindings for the cairo and imlib2 libraries

The other packages lack the Lua bindings for imlib2.

(If this doesn't solve the problem, you may be experiencing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky/+bug/1439879)
