two conky-s on desktop

n0p.cracker · 05-28-2008, 03:35 PM

I have slackware 12.1 and my wm is fluxbox. i have installed conky, and i have one problem. i made two configuration files because i want 2 conky-s on my desktop (one on left, one on right side). i start conky like this:

conky -c .conkyrc1 && conky -c .conkyrc2

two conky-s will appear on the desktop, but they are blikinig, and i can't reed anything from them

Yeah, if you turn off double-flicker then it'll work. Search it from the config files. It doesn't look good after that but there is no other way I know of. I have a similar problem because I want to run conky and root-tail on the same desktop but they play the same trick. I even considered mixing them together into one app but haven't had time.

did you mean double_buffer option? i made double_buffer no. now it is better, but now it is blinking on "update_interval"

Yeah, I'm afraid this is as good as it gets. If you find a better solution let me know. As I said, all that I can think of is making the two the same process and that is not easy. You did disable double-buffer in both configs, did you?
