|
|
Since upgrading (via emerge) to conky-1.10.4, the conky display which I have configured to appear in the upper right hand corner of my display, slows moves down the screen when I am moving any window. (Ex an xterm window.) Eventually it will pop back up to the proper place, but again starts creeping down when windows are moved. Any ideas?
According to
https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/wiki/Configuration-Settings
the conky configuration syntax changed starting with conky-1.10. I used the included convert.lua script to change to the new configuration without error.
The only standard/error output that conky gives is:
Code: | conky &
[1] 4589
pts/16 13:27:42
$ conky: desktop window (1e0) is root window
conky: drawing to desktop window
conky: drawing to double buffer |
Running conky -DD does not show any errors.
Any ideas on why the conky display creeps down the screen? |

Upgrading to 1.10.4 resulted in a scrambled output. I could get it to unscramble if I killed it and started manually, but not worth the chase. I downgraded to 1.9.0-r3. _________________ Andy Figueroa

figueroa: I still have the conky creep-down the screen issue when I move or resize other windows. (Within 2 seconds the conky display always pops back to where it should be). So far I am living with it, I may downgrade to 1.9.x. |

I have the exact same problem, it's really annoying. I'm running openbox, conky 1.10.6 on debian testing (had the problem with debian jessie as well). I tried to compile conky from source, but 1.10.0 also has the problem.
We can't be the only persons to run into this issue, can we? |

Syntax of .conkyrc changed
Here is my .conkyrc, have a look to xinerama_head = 2;
conky.config = {
alignment = 'top_right',
background = false,
double_buffer = true,
border_width = 0,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
default_color = 'white',
draw_borders = false,
draw_graph_borders = false,
draw_outline = false,
draw_shades = false,
use_xft = true,
font = 'DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12',
gap_x = 5,
gap_y = 5,
net_avg_samples = 2,
no_buffers = true,
text_buffer_size = 512,
out_to_console = false,
out_to_stderr = false,
extra_newline = false,
own_window = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager';
stippled_borders = 0,
update_interval = 1.0,
uppercase = false,
use_spacer = 'none',
show_graph_scale = false,
show_graph_range = false,
minimum_width = 160,
minimum_height = 1024,
maximum_width = 180,
-------------------------- Attention, below setting is for second monitor right of primary. If screen resolution is 1280x1024
-- -- you can to set it to xinerama_head = 1280 , conky display at right side of right monitor
-- -- set it to xinerama_head = 0 then conky display at right side of primary (left) monitor
-- -- if there is only one monitor set it to xinerama_head = 0 then conky display of right side
-- -- in my case xinerama_head = 2 do the job to display conky at right side of right monitor
xinerama_head = 2;
--------------------------
--Lua scripts
lua_load = '~/.lua/basic/basic.lua',
lua_draw_hook_pre = 'main'
}
conky.text = [[
]]
Hope that helps |

I would try this against a fresh config since they changed the format a few versions back. If you run Code: | conky -C > .conkyrc.new | it will output a default config. |

I think I know what the problem is.
It used to be that if you wanted to use the desktop to display (without conky's own window), you set the parameter
own_window = false
And this caused the problem described above. For those who migrated from the old version, you probably wouldn't suspect it.
Now you have to do:
own_window = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_type = 'desktop',
And this stops the problem. |
