Package: conky-std Followup-For: Bug #684425 I've been quite frustrated by this problem of non-persistent hwmon numbering breaking conky's sensor monitoring functionality. The 'net is full of people with similar problems (often with other software, such as fancontrol), but there does not appear to be any good solution. Klugdes proposed include tricks to manually force a specific module load order, giving up on conky's internal sensor-related objects and using text tools to process the output of 'sensors', and writing conditionals in .conkyrc, but none of these are satisfactory, and all implicitly concede that conky's internal sensor monitoring functionality is basically broken with respect to recent kernels.
