На попытку использования указанной в мане команды image <path to image> (-p x,y) (-s WxH) (-n) (-f interval) conky-1.8.0-alt1 жалуется: Conky: unknown variable image Прошу собрать с imlib2.
Should also have imlib2 and cairo as lua bindings. --enable-lua-cairo-imlib2
1.8.1-alt1, please test. Cairo lua bindings use tolua_outside which seems to be 'not compatible with standard tolua'. So imlib2 only.
Fixed in 1.8.1-alt1
Спасибо, заработало.
