I have 2 issues now, :-)
I made a compound error here, A typo, that I was sure I checked... xinerarama not ximerarama!
(The window won't go on the far right monitor-screen.
It used to be enough to have "alignment = 'top_right'," but in the old syntax.
and ximerarama_head has no effect (I read that somewhere...) ) end error... sorry.
and, I can't get it to display the hardware info from dmidecode... If I take the code and paste it into a terminal like Konsole (kde5, Plasma) I get the details formatted as desired.
Any guidance on these features would be appreciated. TIA

then you can use that command in an exec variable:
Yes I do test them in the shell, conky on my system is owned by root:root and I can't edit it from my user account. ...so, I thought dmidecode and /dev/mem would not need extra permission. I must have changed access permission at some earlier incantation of my installation of this system. (I got a new 2Tb Harddrive and re-installed from clean partitions without any system files backup)
Anyway, I was just trying to be fancy and have the info looked up and reproduced on screen.
I've just typed the info in, so it looks the same.
you mean the conky executable in /usr/bin is owned by root? that's normal.
you should still have rights to & execute it as a normal user, not as root. unless you're running puppy or something.
