JSON Error in i3wm with Conky (i3bar)
 

Hi and thanks for reading :-)

I followed these instructions on the offical website to use conky with my i3 Window Manager http://i3wm.org/docs/user-contributed/conky-i3bar.html
I also followed the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcO7zkK9AGM who directly references this guide with the additional information of #chmod +x my files (.conkyrc and .conky-i3bar)

I used this default setup also so I know I will see something and to start me of but this is the error I am getting:

Error: Could not parse JSON (parse error: unallowed token at the point in JSON text)

I don't know what this error means and I was hoping someone would know so I could resolve it.

Many thanks for reading. Hope you can help.

Sincerely,
Ed.

In my .i3/config I changed:
status_command ~/.conky-i3wm
I then made the .conky-i3wm file in that location
echo '{"version":1}'
echo '['
echo '[],'
exec conky -c ~/.conkyrc
I then made the ~/.conkyrc file and typed:
[{ "full_text":"Home 84.0G Free" , "color":"#ffffff" },
{ "full_text":"RAM 32" , "color":"#ffffff" }],
I then made both files executable.
chmod +x *file*

The error that shows now is:
Error: status_command process exited unexpectedly (exit1)
When I used the script from the Youtube video it was as the first message and if I change:
exec conky -c ~/.conkyrc to
exec conky -c ~/.conkyrc &
The error changes to (exit 0)
