[Conky-users] No color setting possible inside the conky window

[<ema...@ao...>]

Dears,
might be this is a really small issue, I may just overlook something, but after about two weeks of trying, I have no further idea.
I am running conky on a Raspberry PI 4B with an installed X11 and Lightdm I have disabled Wayland so I am really running XThis is the OS installed: Linux squeeze 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.20-1+rpt1 (2024-03-07) aarch64 GNU/LinuxDebian Bookworm
The PI has a 3.5" Touchscreen, X comes up with all colors, so background window, cursor, the raspberry as a start button is really red... and so on.So color support is there.
Display is able to show the normal color range display usually show.

Conky is running fine, apart from I am unable to change the color settings inside the conky window.
For the window itself, I can set any color I like and it works. 
I tried pink, white, grey... others more, all fine.But if I set a color in the text area, it will be ignored, whatever I tried.I tried:Setting the colors with variables like below.-- Colors
    default_color = '#D3D3D3'                   -- Light Grey
    default_outline_color = '#000000'           -- Black
    default_shade_color = '#000000'             -- Black
    color1 = 'FF8C00'                           -- Dark Orange
    color2 = 'DC143C'                           -- Crimoson Red
    color3 = 'FF4500'                           -- Orange Red
    color4 = 'FFA500'                           -- Orange
    color5 = '00008B'                           -- Dark Blue  

conky.text = [[
${color1}Conky ${Conky_version} $sysname $nodename $kernel $machine
${color2}Frequency (in Ghz):$freq_g ${color yellow}Uptime:$color $uptime
${color3}CPU Usage:  $cpu% ${cpubar 4}
${color4}RAM Usage:  $mem/$memmax - $memperc% ${membar 4}
${color5}Swap Usage: $swap/$swapmax - $swapperc% ${swapbar 4}]]
All text... etc. will be shown in black.If I set the window background to black, everything disappears.
I tried hex with the '#' and without.I tried names accourding to /usr/X11/rgb.txt.
Result is always the same, it'll come up with black text and that's it.

I also tried directly in the text like shown below (different tries so different examples)
conky.text = [[
${"DarkOrange"}Conky ${Conky_version} $sysname $nodename $kernel $machine
${ '#DC143C'}Frequency (in Ghz):$freq_g ${color yellow}Uptime:$color $uptime
${"Orange"}CPU Usage:  $cpu% ${cpubar 4}
${"Dark Blue"}RAM Usage:  $mem/$memmax - $memperc% ${membar 4}
${'FFA500'}Swap Usage: $swap/$swapmax - $swapperc% ${swapbar 4}]]
Result: See above.All text and bars are shown in black, no change whatever I tried.

Apart from the Windows color it seems no other color is set.I do not get an error message when conky starts, I only have this one /etc/conky/conky.conf.

I have tried some about 10 different configs from pages where one can download conky configs...nothing. No color in the window.
Please find my current config below

[Conky-users] conky won't show Updates #:#.

[Bentley R. <hbr...@gm...>]

hi there. I have built up my conky0rc file and everything works, except
for the very last thing at the bottom of the picture. It will not show
Updates. I found a web-page for conky exampes.
https://www.brettwitty.net/dashboards-with-conky.html . Near the bottom
he shows a line in conky to use a python script to be run in conky
1.11.6. BTW, i'm using Debian 11.7, and I corrected the line to the
file location in my home folder. ~/.config/conky/scripts/ apt-
updates.py. So, the python script is not working.

I searched all over Google for why"/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check"
doesn't work, it doesn't exist. I tried it with "/usr/lib/update-
notifier/apt-check -P", and I tried it with "/usr/lib/update-
notifier/apt-check  --human-readable". I may have typed that last one
wrong, but I copied it off the web search and pasted it into the
terminal as it was listed. It is not working. if I type
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check, it comes back with an error
message. APT responded with the following:

bntly@Debian11:~$ sudo apt-get install update-notifier-common
[sudo] password for bntly:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package update-notifier-common is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
apt-config-auto-update

E: Package 'update-notifier-common' has no installation candidate
bntly@Debian11:~$

So I attempted installing the replacement package. It ran a auto-config
post install and it recommended I keep the original config file.
I have searched around trying to find an alternative, and I thought I
had one: 

bntly@Debian11:~$ apt list --upgradable | wc -l

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts.

1
bntly@Debian11:~$

That is not registering with conky, and it only prints the word
"Updates" on the screen. Now, the guy who wrote this posted a
screenshot and it shows what the python script has in it, which is
Updates: under that Updates and under that Security. To the left of the
last two words are 0's (zeros). I hope I covered the basic required
information above. The following is my conky0rc config file, seperated
with a lot of ###, and followed by his python script. I do appreciate
any help. The Update portion is located at the bottom of the script,
directs to the apt-updates.py file. I am not a seasoned programmer or
anything near a beginners education. I spent five hours going over the
conkyrc file before figuring out how to show some options, and then a
few more the next day and the next day. I am pleased with with the
conky0rc config file, I just cannot figure out why it isn't working.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
So it seems to be a rather widespread phenomenon. It´s a real shame that
nothing can be done about it.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

[Conky-users] tcp_portmon issues

[Christian <abe...@fr...>]

Hi altogether,

I have issues trying to use*tcp_portmon *within the config.
I´ve already looked around the web and found a user on 
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/conky-new_mails-and-tcp_portmon-issues-687293/ 

who experienced the same issues. Yet he never received an answer.

So I just want to repeat the topic (with some modification)  in the hope

"Basically, what it does is list five of your incoming and five of your
outgoing connections by domain name and port.
Well, I've noticed that this snippet (probably due to extensive DNS
lookups that it performs?) slows down Conky almost to a halt;
sometimes it takes as much as 10 seconds for it to just redraw its
window, which is quite incredible on my dual-core 2GHz machine!
Er... make that 15 seconds. Also, with the above snippet enabled, Conky
will take as much as 3-4% of processor time, frequently reaching
the first place in my Top window and surpassing even Xorg itself!
Needless to say, all those problems go away if I delete the above
snippet from Conky's config file."

Can anything be done about it so that conky runs smoothly without the
above mentioned effect?

[Conky-users] conkyhardcore ppa not supported by distro

[Hylke H. <hyl...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm having a problem with installing packages from conkyhardcore.
Apparently the conkyhardcore ppa is on linux mint 17.3 not supported by
trusty.
Is there any way I can still download the following packages to my system?
conky-all  conkyemail conkyforecast
Perhaps a different ppa I could use or some way to make conkyhardcore ppa
work on my linux mint 17.3 system? I would really like to be able to
install this since it's required for a conky configuration I'd like to have
on my system.
The conky configuration I'm trying to install is called conky ken.
I have already installed conky-all package from my repo because apparently
that one was available but this is not the case for conkyemail and
conkyforecast.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Hylke

You should be able to add a "blank line" with no calls in between your

[Conky-users] Text background

[Girish T <gir...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just started using Conky, it awesome.
I would like to alternate text background color of lines.
I want to do this to make my text table clear.

I would like to alternate between light grey and no color betwen rows.

Is there a way to do this?

Re: [Conky-users] Conky doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu 15.10 anymore

[Foppe H. <fo...@he...>]

Hi Jan,

Most information I gathered is from
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199217

I quote:
Top google result for conky on github is https://github.com/brndnmtthws
/conky, where latest version is 1.10.0 a few days ago.
https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/releases says 1.10.0 uses "new
Lua-based config system".

I quote again:
Actually, it's quite easy:
- wrap your config section in conky.config = { ... }
- wrap your TEXT section in conky.text = [[ ... ]]
- the config options are lookup values and you need to assign the values
(i.e. use "=")
- each line in the config section ends with ","
- replace "yes" and "no" with "true" and "false", resp. (without quotes)
- all values except numbers, "true" and "false" need quotes
- comments are marked with "--" instead of "#"

I can add it doesn't seem to like -- comments in the text section

Atatched is a rework of your .conkyrc. Only three errors left for you to
Google:
conky: Unknown setting 'xftfont'
conky: Unknown setting 'border_margin'
conky: Unknown setting 'on_bottom'

The format for the conkyrc file has changed significantly although in a
straightforward way so you should be able to adapt your existing file
easily.  The easiest way is to have a look at the default config file in
/etc/config/config.conf.

Who can help me please.

I have used Conky for a couple of years now and I really like it.
But since upgrading to 15.10, as well on 2 Lubuntu machines as well on 2
Xubuntu machines I cannot get Conky to work anymore.

Who can help. I am attaching the .conkyrc file. Also i tried different
.conkyrc configuration files.
Conky without this file works but then it doesn't display much.

Who knows anybody can help me.

Actually no. Missed that! Makes all the difference. You second option works as well :).

But you did notice how I carefully put ${execp} in my example above,
didn't you? If so, maybe you forgot to escape the dollar sign from being
expanded by the script interpreter.

Yeah, you would think this would work but it doesn't.

I tried returning a single character ("#", "1", "-") instead of the 
error code but conky does not work with the != operand.

Following your comment above I tried again and managed to muddle 
something together. The python routine prints the integer 1 to stdout if 
no list is available and conky uses ${if_match ${exec script.sh} != 1}. 
Wierdly if the script prints the character "1" to stdout conky still 
only works if you use ${if_match ${exec script.sh} != 1}. Obviously 
conky automatically converts the numbers characters (string or not) in 
stdout to integers.

Makes perfect sense. Had tried to do this already but found I could not 
pass the ${color} and ${hr} commands for the title. I tried all sorts of 
things but all 'commands' were just printed to stdout as written.

You could use $if_match to check for empty output at least. IIRC,
something like ${if_match ${exec script.sh} != ""} could work.

AFAIK, there is no way to react upon return values. As a clean solution
(which does not lead to complete mess in conkyrc, I would put this all
into a wrapper script, and pass it the title to display as a parameter:

| #!/bin/bash
| title="$1"
| shift
| items="$(script.sh "$@")"
| [[ -n $items ]] || exit 0
| cat <<EOF
| $title
| \$hr
| $items
| EOF

call with ${execp wrapper.sh "The Title" <script args>}. Does that make
sense?

[Conky-users] Conky, scripts, exit codes, if_match

[Simon C. <co...@si...>]

Hello,

I have set up conky to display important tasks from my todo.txt text 
file. This text file has one task for each line (cf. todotxt.com).

I have created a python script to filter items with due dates. If tasks 
exist, the script sends the task to stdout.

The script works well. I can get customized lists of overdue tasks, 
tasks due today and future tasks.

These subsets of the task file are positioned under appropriate titles. 
The problem I have is that I can prevent the script from printing to 
stdout but can't get conky not to print the title if nothing is 
returned. I have looked around but can't find an example of how to do 
this based on the output of a script.

I have created exit codes (0, a list produced; 1 no list available) but 
I can't seem to capture these events.

Does anyone have an idea or can point me to a working example?

At the crux of it, I want my titles to disappear when no information is 
returned to stdout by a script or alternatively, when a unsuccessful 
exit code is detected.

[Conky-users] Trouble compiling with nVidia

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile v.1.10.0 (or -rc1) with nVidia enabled, but I am
getting a linker error from libXNVCtrl. I was able to compile the 1.9
version from sourceforge just fine.

I am using the following cmake options:

cmake \
-DBUILD_CURL=ON \
-DBUILD_IMLIB2=ON \
-DBUILD_NVIDIA=ON \
-DBUILD_WEATHER_METAR=ON \
-DBUILD_WEATHER_XOAP=ON \
-DBUILD_WLAN=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
../

I have also attached the output of the cmake and make applications.

Has anyone run into the same problem? Any ideas as to the solution?

Best,

Chris

You can try, but honestly this sounds like way too much brain-fuck to

I see, thank you...one more thing...can I use execi inside a conky script
to kill the current script and launch another one for a set period of

That's what inotify is for. Conky detects if the config is being written
and reloads it completely. You can try it yourself: Edit the running

immediately. :)

Thanks for the reply Phil.

Im a complete newby in linux so excuse me next question.

Because conky reads scripts at runtime, wouldnt I need to do a killall
conky before I call my next script, or do I have that all wrong? Thanks.
