Conky segfault

Hi,

Since a couple of days, my conky often crashes with a segmentation fault.
Here is the line in dmesg :

conky[8068]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fa7dab09556 sp 00007fa7d64f9968 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7fa7daa82000+154000]

Am I the only one to have this bug ?
What should I do to fix it ?

Thanks for your help.

And for details, I'm running Arch64 with XFCE and I think that these segfault appeared with the gnome3 update...

Thanks for your help.

Re: Conky segfault

I tried to re-install conky, but it didn't fix that problem...

No idea to fix it ? hmm

A Gentoo guy had a similar problem (different app, same error), put a lot of work into troubleshooting it, and discovered that deleting ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache fixed it.

Re: Conky segfault

Thanks for your answer.

I've deleted ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache, then rebooted my laptop but it didn't fix it... sad
I really don't understand that problem...

Re: Conky segfault

Your script makes a number of exec* type calls.  Most likely, one of those is causing the segfault.  Try to comment them out and see if it fixes your error.  Then, once you know which process is causing your problem, you can perhaps fix that.

Re: Conky segfault

Sorry I was busy this week, I just see your answer.

I'm trying to find which exec call may cause this segfault.
In order to do that, I splitted my conky in 5 conky (with a few exec in) and then I will see wich one segfaults.

But since the beginning of my test (2 hours), I didn't see any segfault... keep waiting...

Re: Conky segfault

Unfortunately, I'm now having the same problem since the last update of conky.  Deleting the mime cache didn't help and the relevant exec commands in my .conkyrc are calls to conkyforecast and curl ifconfig.me.  Both of those calls use execi and I have another conky script that uses execp that doesn't fail.

Re: Conky segfault

I am also gettting conky segfaults after the latest update (1.8.1-3 -> 1.8.2git20111026-1).

$ dmesg | grep conky
[   34.631275] conky[1436]: segfault at 0 ip b70ffdb8 sp bfba0498 error 4 in libc-2.14.so[b708a000+162000]

Im not sure if this is relevent/to be expected, but I'm getting a pcmanfm tab on my pannel, thats connected to the segfaulting conky when I boot (tho not when I log out/in) thought I'd mention it, as this was upgraded at the same time.
I have 1 execpi call to a script (stolen from this forum) that checks for updates. Commenting out this line allows conky to start.
Not sure how to trouble shoot the issue further, I'll downgrade conky for now.

Re: Conky segfault

I also had problems with the lastest updates to conky. I downgraded to 1.8.1 but the build failed due to curl. I found a fix for it and added it to my PKGBUILD. It's here http://ompldr.org/vYXppNg , if anyone else needs it. And here's the current-power.patch if someone needs that too http://ompldr.org/vYXppNw

Re: Conky segfault

I've been having this problem as well, and it appears related to uptime.

Here is a very simple testcase:

own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

TEXT
${execi 300 echo test}

If the computer has been up for at least 5 minutes (300 seconds), Conky will output "test".

If the computer has been up for less time than that, Conky will output "(null)". Using execpi instead of execi will cause Conky to segfault instead of outputting "(null)".

I submitted an upstream bug report, but typoed "greater than uptime" as "less than uptime" in the original description. <.<

Re: Conky segfault

execi, execpi, and texeci all fail if interval > uptime. I chose execi for the testcase because it is simplest.

Re: Conky segfault

@Deciare,

That makes a lot of sense...considering my conky would start working like 5-10 min after I started up my computer...but segfault before that.  I'll find a workaround for now...now that I know that's the problem.  Thanks!
