[Solved] Conky display every time 0 insted of value

Morta · 2023-08-13 14:12:59

hi folks!

I have following conky configuration:

conky.config = {
    alignment = 'top_right',
    background = false,
    border_width = 1,
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,

    draw_shades = false,
    extra_newline = false,
    font = 'Noto Sans Mono:size=12',
    gap_x = 20,
    gap_y = -30,
    border_inner_margin = 16,
    boarder_outer_margin = 8,

    minimum_width = 5,
    net_avg_samples = 2,

Display every time 0 instead of value. I tried exec,texec,execpi and execi same problem.

How I can fix it?

What's there to fix? Unless you are doing something (else) foolish, that pacman command should always return 0. What does that pacman command return when run in a terminal?

I gather you really want to use checkupdates.

seth · 2023-08-13 14:20:32

Well, what's the output of "pacman -Qqu" and are you maybe looking for "checkupdates" from pacman-contrib?

Morta · 2023-08-13 14:20:45

I want really to available updates from pacman and AUR

Trilby · 2023-08-13 14:22:29

Then you need a command that does that - `pacman -Qqu` is very near to meaningless. On a properly functioning system it will always return 0.

So your problem has nothing to do with conky displaying the wrong value. It is displaying exactly what you tell it to.

Use checkupdates (for repo packages)

It's looks like this

https://abload.de/img/20230813_16h21m23s_grenc4n.png

Ok but when I prompt pacman -Qqu | wc -l in the terminal it's give me a value above 0 if updates available.

I also tried with checkupdates and aurcle instead of pacman and yay

same result...

Ah ... we don't need a photo. We know what the number zero looks like.

Prove it. What value is it giving? And what is the actual output of `pacman -Qqu`? If that is above zero, then you are doing something else really foolish.

The good news is, I suspect that other really foolish step is only being done in the terminal right before you run that -Qqu command.

And are you restarting conky (both of them) after editing the config file(s)? If you put "echo 42" in place of the pacman/checkupdates command, do you see the 42 on the conky display?

1. Ok I'm wrong.

??

3. echo doesn't display 42 in the conky

What does it display instead? Are you sure you're editing the correct config/conky picks up any changes there at all? (Try eg. to change the color)
Also post the entire current config.

Trilby · 2023-08-13 18:09:48

Morta, every response you give here ignores most of the already-posed questions and instead adds some random bit of information that just raises so many more questions. We will most definitely not converge on any answers going like this.

1. I have a script that execute a curl to a api they give me a IP for a conky. See my picture

2. I posted the hole config above.

3. It's display nothing on IP and two zero on ARCH: and AUR:

4. Sorry english is not my nativ language so it can come to understanding problems

5. I would nice to be kindly to each other

4. deepl.com

2. Yes, but that's not the actual current config where you tried to echo "42"
Also there're *TWO* "conky.text" assignments in that config

1. There's no curl in that config, if you use some local script and want to check on that, naming and posting it would be useful - also make sure it's executable

5. It is the epitome of unfriendliness to avoid constructive criticism in order to be falsely perceived as being nice.

4. Ok I will read the text double. I'm tired. Sorry for the circumstance!

Yes I'm shure. I'm editing .conkyrc in the folder /home/morta. The other conkyrc2 config is only time and date. Look at the output of the ps. The path is given by -c.

It's really doesn't work all exec commands and I don't know why? I use sway on wayland.

That's not what I asked or suggested - when you alter some other element, like the color of the relevant text, does that get reflected?

You've btw. also not answered what the output of "checkupdates", "pacman -Quq" or "~/.config/conky/pubIP.sh" in an interactive shell actually is.

Morta · 2023-08-15 18:15:21

[morta@lapt0p Downloads]$ checkupdates | wc -l
101

pacman -Quq # No output

[morta@lapt0p Downloads]$ sh ~/.config/conky/pubIP.sh
2a02:168:a774::beef

I edited the the space between the lines of the conky and the postion. yes it's works

seth · 2023-08-16 14:46:33

There's obviously no surprise reg. "pacman -Quq" but it's completely inexplicable how "echo 42" could possibly print "0".
If you replcace the entire "${execi 10 echo 42 }" w/ just "SNAFU", what does it print?

Edit: or maybe not…

echo $SHELL

My sway config

sway reload

has no effect on conky I have to kill conky per hand and doesn't restart with

sway reload

I have to reboot

Trilby · 2023-08-17 18:40:45

So you've *not* been restarting conky with all these edits all along. That would explain pretty much everything odd in this thread.

You most certainly don't need to restart sway nor reboot. Just restart conky. Just do so directly (from a command prompt) for testing so you can see any errors that conky produces.

In any case, I suspect learning how to actually restart conky after you've modified the config files should resolve most of the issues here. So why don't you tell us what issues still remain once you have restarted conky.

EDIT: wait - you said that changing the conky config did change the spacing - so you must have restarted it. I give up - I no longer have any idea which parts of what you have said have been true versus totally fictional (like when you said pacman -Qu gave output ... but it didn't).
