Comment 26 for bug 435571

I'm having a very similar issue. If I use the line:

CPU Temp: ${hwmon 1 temp 1}°Cr

conky will fail with the message:

Conky: can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input': No such file or directory
please check your device or remove this var from Conky
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 61 (X_ClearArea)
  Resource id in failed request: 0x0
  Serial number of failed request: 49
  Current serial number in output stream: 51

but if I change that line to:

CPU Temp: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}°Cr

then conky will work just fine... until I restart my system. Then it will stop working once again with the same error except now it complains of not finding the '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp0_input' folder, so I have to go and change the line back (ie: change the '0' to a '1') to make it work again. This works until I restart the system in a never-ending loop.

I have both '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/' AND '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/' folders so I think this might be causing some confusion to conky.

Could this be related to this bug or is this an issue with my system? Any ideas how I could fix this? Cheers.
