[Solved] How to correctly show volume using i3bar, conky and alsa
I was using this line in the .conkyrr
V${exec amixer get Master -M | grep -oE "[[:digit:]]*%"}
however this suddenly started returning two valueslike so
10%
10%
which is causing a new line and breaking my i3 bar, how can I fix this or is there a better way of doing it?
I can provide the full conkyrc if needed.

Did a bit more research into grep and found it
including option -m1 in grep fixed it like so
V${exec amixer get Master -M | grep -oE -m1 "[[:digit:]]*%"}
Should I delete the post or leave this here for others googling.

Welcome to the Arch Linux forums!

No, it may be a useful resource for somebody who runs into the same problem, so deleting it would be selfish and destructive at best. Thanks for keeping it as it is. (see also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ay_street).
