I have decided to 'modernize' my conky scripts, into the new syntax. For one script, lua is not parsing the right values.
I have this lua script for creating rings with the following settings. I won't paste the whole thing since it's fairly repetitively obvious:
settings_table = {
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu0',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.105,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=1.0,
x=290, y=710,
radius=135,
thickness=15,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu1',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.15,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=1.0,
x=290, y=710,
radius=120,
thickness=15,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
{
name='cpu',
arg='cpu2',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.175,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=1.0,
x=290, y=710,
radius=105,
thickness=15,
start_angle=-90,
end_angle=180
},
... (the rest of the cpu variables continue 8 in total as there are 8 threads)
{
name='memperc',
arg='',
name='fs_used_perc',
arg='/',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.1,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=288, y=380,
radius=135,
thickness=29,
start_angle=0,
end_angle=270
},
{
name='fs_used_perc',
arg='/home',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.15,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=288, y=380,
radius=104,
thickness=29,
start_angle=0,
end_angle=270
},
{
name='fs_used_perc',
arg='/home/datapool',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.2,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=288, y=380,
radius=73,
thickness=29,
start_angle=0,
end_angle=270
},
{
name='memperc',
arg='',
max=100,
bg_colour=0xffffff,
bg_alpha=0.25,
fg_colour=0xffffff,
fg_alpha=0.8,
x=288, y=380,
radius=42,
thickness=29,
start_angle=0,
end_angle=270
}
}
And I have this function to parse the variables in the settings_table. It is taken from lua API conky_parse(string). I have included a print() function to check the output of the string parsing in terminal:
function setup_rings(cr,pt)
local str=''
local value=0
str=string.format('${%s %s}',pt['name'],pt['arg'])
val=conky_parse(str)
-- check value of the parsing --
print(val)
value=tonumber(val)
pct=value/pt['max']
draw_ring(cr,pct,pt)
end
The problem is conky_parse is not parsing the cpu variables while the others are fine. So for one conky interval, the print(val) output in the terminal looks like:
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
72
59
51
24
As you can see, the ${cpu cpu_n} variables parses to 0 while the rest is fine. So for my conky cpu rings, nothing is registering. However if I print the variables in conky as text, the cpu values show correctly so it's definitely an issue with parsing in lua.
I am using conky-lua-nv from AUR.
Am I missing something here? Is anybody experiencing the same problem?

It seems the conky-lua-nv package is buggy. I installed conky-cairo instead and everything works as expected.
