Greetings
While this isn't a huge deal I find it rather fascinating that Xfce4 launches 4 instances of Conky on 2 different distros. I have 3 on this box and it doesn't in one, and all have the same exact ~/.conkyrc. so it would seem it is not likely my doing.
In the beginning I added conky to "Session and Startup" but upon seeing many running, removed it. Now there remains 4, 3 of which which I must manually end process whenever I login to Xfce. Any ideas or anyone else with same quirky behavior?.... and is there a pale puppet laughing somewhere "1....2... 3 ....4! Ha! Ha Haaaa!"
It sounds like XFCE and Conky are possibly having compatibility issues.
This member at Arch Linux listed his conkyrc config file.
Maybe commenting out some of the arguments that are associated with start-up and functionality in general may solve the issue. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic....969669#p969669
Each time you log out, the session is saved with another conky process running, thus when you log in again, all the saved processes are launched again, along with a new process from autostart
Thanks for your response and the links. Regarding saving sessions, naturally I wondered about that first, but I can "end processes" till only one is left, logout and back in and there are 4. Thus the Count joke as I can't even imagine what is magic about 4 in this case. Anyway, I'll look those over and be back.
Amazing. That was so arcane with logging out and in 3 times I can't help but wonder how that was discovered... but it worked! 1....1!.....just 1 and only 1! Ha.... Ha.... Hahhhh!
Thanks
