[SOLVED] upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph broken in conky widgets

The netwrok speed graphs in my conky widget

broke after a recent update
Now it looks like this

I did not change anything before or after it was working last time

I tried different widgets/configurations which use the same graphs and they were broken too
I tried the same widgets in a virtual machiene and surprisingly it was broken there too.

Re: [SOLVED] upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph broken in conky widgets

maybe you will pick from my config - network - section:

${color #ffcb48}Wi-Fi ${hr 1}
${color lightgrey}Wireless signal: $color${wireless_link_qual wlan0}%
${color lightgrey}IP address: $color${addr wlan0}
${color lightgrey}Download speed: $color${downspeedf wlan0} Kb/sec
${downspeedgraph wlan0}
${color red}Downloaded: $color${totaldown wlan0} $alignr ${color green}Uploaded: $color${totalup wlan0}

${color #ffcb48}Ethernet ${hr 1}
${color lightgrey}IP address: $alignr$color${addr enp7s0}
${color lightgrey}Download speed: $color${downspeedf enp7s0} Kb/sec
${downspeedgraph enp7s0}
${color red}Downloaded: $color${totaldown enp7s0} $alignr ${color green}Uploaded: $color${totalup enp7s0}

Thank you Moo-Crumpus you just saved my script. Apparently for whatever reason after some update defining the dimensions of upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph doesn't work. That's where my problem lies.

Update
Apparently I'm not the only one with the same issue.
Maybe this is a bug related to conky itself afterall?

Update 2

surrounding the network interface name with double quotes actually fixed the bug!!
So

${downspeedgraph  wlan0 20,85}

should become

${downspeedgraph  "wlan0" 20,85}

Re: [SOLVED] upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph broken in conky widgets

The following  line on my setup does not need "" to display correctly so something else must be involved, perhaps font size.

${downspeedgraph enp0s25 25,115 000000 00ff00}  ${alignr}${upspeedgraph enp0s25 25,115 000000

Pure Arch here and I have tried otherArch based OS's.

I have no idea. But for the moment adding " works for me, so I'm gonna stick with that until the next update breaks it

Re: [SOLVED] upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph broken in conky widgets

Same for me.  I upgraded my distro to 22.04LTS and then network graphs (bar-style) would just show a solid block top-to-bottom, like it is running full-up and full-down.   

Once I made the changes below, I'd got the normal look back to the graph, using the default colors (white on black).

# Original-Line UpSpeed Graph:  ${offset 15}${upspeedgraph wlp3s0 40,285 4B1B0C FF5C2B 100 -l}

# Updated-Line UpSpeed Graph: ${offset 15}${upspeedgraph "wlp3s0"}
