Thanks, unfortunately this works flawlessly for me. Any additional information that you think could help us to track this down? Can you try to downgrade to 1.4.7-0ubuntu2 and check it this crash too?

In 1.5.1 upstream improved the parsing code for the $diskio*, $disk_protect and $ioscheduler args.
Even though the device name is still reported as optional in conky docs, if no device name is given to the $diskiograph argument conky will SIGSEGV. For the time being this can be solved by explicitly using a device name, for instance:

${diskiograph hda2}

Note that the device name must be a valid block device in /dev.

I'm reporting this upstream, as this is either an error in the docs, or conky should handle gracefully the case where no device name is specified with the diskiograph variable.

Fixed in svn revision 1139
