Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

I can't get graphs working at all in the old or the new config format, but curiously the rest of my "old" config file still works.  And exec commands appear to be executing irregularly leading to parts of the display dropping out in 1.10 that were perfectly stable in 1.9.  Not fun.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

BlueYoshi and ninian, have you upgraded to the latest conky package (1.10.0-2)? I was getting the same "X Error of failed request" on 1.10.0-1.

I'm not sure what to suggest otherwise.

Okay, fair point. With 1.10.0-2 I'm not getting the 'X Error' now, but Conky still fails to run properly, or gives a segmentation error depending on the config file I try.
sad
Edit: 1.10.0 seems so unstable/regressive that a rollback to 1.9.0 in the extra repository would be sensible.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

This command doesn't seem to work regardless of the value of background in the config.

$ conky -d

It spits out this error:

conky: Invalid value of type 'table' for setting 'background'. Expected value of type 'boolean'.
conky: desktop window (a00263) is subwindow of root window (bd)

Did you remove the old ~/.conkyrc file and use just the new ~/.config/conky/conky.conf with lua syntax?
Maybe something in the config file you tried doesn't work for you; so you could simplify it, to see what works and if something breaks the output.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

Hey guys, I just recently ran into the conky config changes as well. I have 2 lines that don't seem to be taking.

xftfont = "OFL Sorts Mill Goudy:size=8",
minimum_size = "180",

When I run conky I get the following:

conky: desktop window (a00016) is subwindow of root window (2c9)
conky: window type - normal
conky: drawing to created window (0x1400002)
conky: drawing to double buffer
conky: Unknown setting 'minimum_size'
conky: Unknown setting 'xftfont'

Have some of the old config settings not made there way into v1.10 yet?

minimum_size is replaced with:

minimum_height
and
minimum_width

without quotes for numbers.

font = "OFL Sorts Mill Goudy:size=8"

should work instead of xftfont.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

From the FAQ on GitHub:

Conky 2.x is entirely original code. Only Conky 1.x is based on the Torsmo code.

And from commit 7733a6d, version 2.0 was changed to 1.10 for some reason.
So it's a major change, well beyond the config being changed to a Lua format.

Edit:
@CrazyTux and @BlueYoshi: Have either of you managed to get Conky 1.10 working at all - with any config?!
And has anyone managed to get the new Conky to play nicely with PCManFM managing the desktop?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

Looking at the github, which seems to be the code home now, documentation for new version seems to be missing (old one as well).
My conky was working fine after upgrade (it says on start that it tries to convert old config to new one) except for function "freq_g" which gave wrong values. I reverted, until I have some documentation to work with and the bugs are ironed.

@berbae: Yes indeed, have tried various configs (including from this thread), simplified them and placed them in either ~/.conkyrc or ~/.config/conky/conky.conf. Always fails to run, yet no obvious config errors. Usually get something like:

conky: desktop window (d4) is root window
conky: drawing to desktop window
Segmentation fault

Show-stopper for me.

Edit: Have also tried it with and without PCManFM managing the desktop background and icons.

Further edit: Have just downloaded the PKGBUILD and the patches to build my own package, and running makepkg yields the following failure (64-bit) :

Now, I do have ipv6 switched off at the kernel level (ipv6.disable=1); could this be the problem ...?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

From the FAQ on GitHub:

Conky 2.x is entirely original code. Only Conky 1.x is based on the Torsmo code.

And from commit 7733a6d, version 2.0 was changed to 1.10 for some reason.
So it's a major change, well beyond the config being changed to a Lua format.

Edit:
@CrazyTux and @BlueYoshi: Have either of you managed to get Conky 1.10 working at all - with any config?!
And has anyone managed to get the new Conky to play nicely with PCManFM managing the desktop?

Nope. Even when all of the config was correct, it would just segmentation fault and crash.

'sudo pacman -Syu --ignore conky' has become a daily ritual, but I'll probably just build the old version from source or something.

That might be what is causing conky to segfault. Try adding the following line to the cmake options in your PKGBUILD to disable ipv6:

-D BUILD_IPV6=OFF \

If this works, then I think it would be worthwhile to file a bug report.

Also, I'm not a mod, but since this thread is marked as solved, it'll be best to continue the discussion in a new thread and link back to this one.

Please, keep going in this thread.  I hope this will settle down quickly.  When the dust settles, I would prefer to have one canonical thread.  My colleagues may disagree.

@infiniteh: Yes indeed, thank you - makepkg works with your IPV6 mod and Conky actually runs now without crashing!
So hopefully it's just the new configuration which has to be tamed (have tried a couple and they at least run even if they look scrappy).
I will indeed file a bug report as you suggest.
Happier wink

Edit: Bug filed at GitHub and my original .conkyrc configuration has been converted successfully, so thanks for help.

Afterthought: 'man conky' seems to provide the full configuration/variables documentation now.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with conky after update

@berbae thanks I corrected items but unfortunately conky still flickering on screen, seems like something wrong with transparency also I'm unable to change font size, tried different font which I use before in conky config and no luck

f.e.  font = 'Ubuntu:size=7'

also don't work for me

minimum_height = 500,
minimum_width = 200,

any idea guys? your help really appreciate
