Problem with conky in current
2 Attachment(s)
Hi!
I'm using conkyForecast script in my conkyrc and it worked until I upgraded to current. I'm using two conky instances and problem is only with one with forecast information. Afrer every text there is empty box that messes up everything. Screenshots of before and after are attached. Everything worked great until update, so I don't think it is comething in conkyrc, but here it is: Code:
background yes Code:
${image [--datatype=WI] -p 12,0 -s 90x90}${image [--datatype=MI] -p 12,80 -s 50x50} |
I maintain the conky and conkyforecast package over at slackbuilds.org and I am currently having no problems. However the version of conkyforecast at SBo is 2.12, there is newer version, 2.15 I think. You could try install it and see if that fixes your problem.

However I forgot to mention that I also had an issue with conkyforecast and disappearing weather fonts, but it rarely happens and a restart always fixes it. But the last time this happened was about two weeks ago and I did a bad exit from KDE.

I contacted author of conkyforecast and he told me that the problem is with 1.8.1 version of conky."it messes up goto/offset commands when they are in a template and parsed with execp/execpi...either install conky 1.8.0 or revert from using a template."
I installed 1.8.0 and it solved the problem. I was having some problem with compiling the older version. Enabled audacious, mpd, lua and some other things couldn't compile, so I just installed the binary that I compiled for 13.1 (and linked libmowgli.so to libmowgli.so.1 because conky couldn't find it). |
I'm Curious
Have you guys compared Conky functions to KDE plasmoids? So far most I've tried use less resources than my conky on my Slackware-Current box and my conky is slowly dwindling in size to bare essentials that just look better than similar plasmoids. What are your experiences in this?
