conky broken after global update

futonrevolutionary · 2009-05-05 05:13:41

I just ran a pacman -Syu and conky was updated to the newest version. Since then I have restarted my computer. When I started KDE I noticed that Conky was not running. I opened up a terminal and tried to run it manually, and I got the following error:

[futonrevolutionary@napalm .conky]$ conky
Conky: can't load font 'arial'
Conky: got an endif without matching if

Here is my .conkyrc file:

I've tried googling and searching various forums, but it seems like a problem that was just created with the new version. I have no clue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

evr · 2009-05-05 06:28:23

i don't know about the font issue, but it looks like you have an endif on the last line without an if anywhere else.

gav616 · 2009-05-05 08:31:48

i also have problems after update

${color slate grey}/var/log/everything.log:
${color}${exec tail -n27 /var/log/everything.log}

this doesn't output any updates now..

EDIT >

it does, but only 3 lines regarding 'agpgart-nvidia' 3 hours ago

me as well

Conky: unknown variable ibm_temps
Conky: unknown variable ibm_fan

EDIT:

i've to add

 --enable-ibm

to PKGBUILD, and now everything works,

could this feature be enabled by default ?

Where? I grep'ed for endif and nothing was found. How can I fix it? Just delete it?

EDIT: *Facepalm*. I found and commented out the last $endif. Is there another one? I'm getting the same error.

Yup, my ibm_temps are not recognized anymore too. Conky must have been compiled without them for some reason.....

i don't understand, for me conky works fine with --enable-ibm,
could you coll those reasons ?

i believe you have to delete it completely, you can't comment things out in the main body of the conky config.

CheesyBeef · 2009-05-05 17:13:26

My download/upload speeds are performing strange now.

Previously, Conky just displayed only the download speed number (in kilobytes), so I added a constant "KB/s" following the number. Now Conky appears to report the numbers as 100B or 1000KiB.

The .conkyrc section looks like this:

${color 979797}Up: ${color }${upspeed eth0} KB/s  ${totalup eth0}  ::  ${color 979797}Down: ${color }${downspeed eth0} KB/s  ${totaldown eth0}

and the bar when running, for example, reads:

Up: 73B  KB/s 16.5MiB :: Down: 1023 KiB  KB/s 205MiB

So I don't know, it didn't used to do that before, but it's not THAT big of a problem. At first I was wondering why it looked like I was downloading, for example, 100B KB/s constantly (the B for Bytes looks like an 8 on my screen)

firecat53 · 2009-05-05 17:16:01

Did anyone else have the upspeed and downspeed variables start appending a B or K ? They didn't do that before this update. I added 'short_units on' to the config, but it still puts the B or the K after the number. How to get just the number??

Thanks,
Scott

evr · 2009-05-05 17:22:50

i just checked it out, and it seems that the upspeed and downspeed will give the B or K, but the upspeedf and downspeedf will not show the B or K as it is always in KiB

firecat53 · 2009-05-05 18:41:38

@evr - yes I tried that too, but the upspeedf/downspeedf also put a decimal point in (54.6, 0.0). They don't have the B or K or Kib appended, but the old upspeed and downspeed didn't have those either -- and no decimal point! I tried recompiling, but ended up with the same result. Guess I'll have to go see if the devs changed something in this new release.

I'm not sure if you read above, but I posted the same issue about 2.5 minutes before you.

I actually like the upspeedf/downspeedf with the decimal places - it shows your internet is being used at 0.1 KB/s when normally it would just show 0 KB/s. When my ethernet devices haven't worked in the past, I would have found it very helpful to see if they are connected or not by viewing that they are transferring bytes, since they sit under 1 KB/s at idle.

Also, I'm having some weird "null" text in place of where the MPD script I have displays song and artist info. Maybe that's just from the upgrade and it will fix when I play some music again. We'll see.

Edit: Yes, the MPD "null" message was fixed by simply playing a song again.

@CheesyBeef -- Lol we were probably typing at the same time! I prefer no decimal point, just for looks, but not that big of a deal. If you want to know if you're internet is connected, you can use something like:
if_up_strictness address
${if_up wlan0} Up ${upspeedf wlan0} k${endif}
which will make your speed not display if you're not connected. Quite handy!

Edit: My battery bar was also broken, but was fixed by changing ${battery_bar 6,35} to ${battery_bar 6,35 BAT0}

use_spacer also appears to be broken in the latest release. I've downgraded for now.

soupcan · 2009-05-05 21:45:41

Conky now returns (null) for everything. I've also downgraded for now.

CheesyBeef · 2009-05-06 03:32:38

I think that there were quite a few changes to modules which were not formally announced in the changelog. It would be nice to know all that was changed

beretta · 2009-05-06 11:48:41

I have another odd issue that's come up. In my network section, it shows all the up/down speeds, ip, and such. Then at the bottom is shows "Network Unavailable", while at the same time obviously showing the network up and running. I have a section that gives me a weather report, and it has something similar. Could be related to the endif error being reported? Some if statment not working right?

Pertinent .conkyrc section:

Seems like the if/else's are being mishandled somehow.

here the new conky-version displays wrong free-hd-space.
I use ${fs_size /root} and ${fs_size /home} to display the free space of my root and home partitions.

df -h

/dev/mapper/root      5,6G  4,5G  928M  84% /
/dev/mapper/home       27G   18G  7,6G  70% /home

conky-1.7.0

root: 1.07GB
home: 8.84GB

I just updated, and there's another Conky version out. Bugfixes, perhaps? Mine just suddenly started working last night.

I also had to downgrade to get the hd free space to be correct...
Maybe it's getting fixed, but intill then I'm sticking with 1.6.1-2

SiD · 2009-05-09 18:18:33

I use ext3.

Seems the new conky displays the free space + the reserved space on the filesystem.

After setting the reserved space on my home partition to zero (using "tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mapper/home"), conky shows the same value as "df -h".

Did the same thing and now it works perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
I do understand that if I was running a server or was the admin of a bunch of computers at a school or something it would be smart to have the block reservation up and running. But as a "desktop admin" can anyone give me any reasons why I should have any space at all reserved to the root user?

.:B:. · 2009-05-09 19:17:21

It makes sense on the /, but not on any other partitions. After all, if the file system is 100% full you can still log in as root (with its homedir on / - /root).
