[SOLVED] Conky: After 2.6.37 update, conky no longer shows temperature

Question

Well, the title is quite self-explanatory but I'd also like to add that:
I noticed that conky reads correct values and after exactly 3 refreshes it just displays 0, no matter how long is the update interval.
/sys/class/hwmon displays correct values, and 'acpi -t' also does too (they are always the same).
My conky config had $acpitemp before the update, and after the update I had to change it to ${hwmon 0 temp 1} because $acpitemp displayed no values whatsoever.
My .conkyrc in case anyone is interested:
out_to_x no

$if_mpd_playing \
${mpd_smart 30}\
$endif \
| ${time %a %d %b %Y %H:%M}
My final conclusion is that the problem is with conky itself, but this guy here managed to get it working:

EDIT: After posting here I thought "why don't I take out all these X related options?" and finally did it after so much time. And it worked, but I dunno why.
I also tried your suggestion, litemov, but it didn't show anything at all (not even that 0), but thanks anyway

Answer 1

I'm using:
${platform coretemp.0 temp 1}
Does that do anything for you?
