Description of problem: I've installed conky and conky-manager. I run conky, and after, conky-manayer for configure themes and widgets of conky, but, when I apply the changes, this don't apply to conky. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 7 Plasma - Conky - Conky-manager How reproducible: Install conky and conky-manager packages. Configure conky-manager and apply changes. Conky don't show the applied changes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install conky and conky-manager. 2. Run conky-manager, configure and accept changes. 3. The new configuration don't show in conky.
I suffer exactly the same problem: The Conky monitor does not respond to modifications issued from Conky-Manager, always remaining unchanged and immutable, in its initial basic configuration.

Thank you both for reporting/confirming the problem, which certainly looks like conky-manager. Assigning to Dimitrios as the official maintainer, also CC DavidG as the most recent committer.

I think that is the case with the configuration file format: Check this to convert it to the new format: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?p=75640 https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=3983
Hi, I tried run the command for convert conkyrc, but no works. First convert.lua doesn't ejecutable. I put how ejecutable and I run the command again in konsole with this result: [jose@localhost ~]$ /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua .conkyrc .conkyrc.new /usr/bin/lua: /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua:131: cannot open file '.conkyrc' (No such file or directory) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'input' /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua:131: in main chunk [C]: in ? [jose@localhost ~]$ su - Contraseña: [root@localhost ~]# /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua .conkyrc .conkyrc.new /usr/bin/lua: /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua:131: cannot open file '.conkyrc' (No such file or directory) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'input' /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua:131: in main chunk [C]: in ?

I tried to install conky and conky-manager. I have only one widget and i cannot either add widgets from conky-manager I use LXQt desktop Could you ask in the forum to see if it works on other users. Sorry :(
The conkyrc snippets provided by conky-manager are in the old format for conky version < 1.10. Mageia 7 comes with conky v 1.11 so they don't work. They can be converted to the new format using the /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua script e.g. /usr/share/doc/conky/convert.lua oldfile newfile The files are all in ~/.conky/<Theme name> together with jpeg files of the same root name to show what they look like. As noted above the convert.lua script needs to be made executable before you can use it (or you could put "lua" before the command). By default, conky uses the file ~/.conkyrc for its configuration... and you need to create that file yourself. If you use conky-manager it runs conky from a script ~/.conky/conky-startup.sh which doesn't use ~/.conkyrc but uses the files from the Themes in ~/.conky hence they need to be converted to the new format.

Hello. I have already get to convert the conkyrc to the new format. I have those files at /home/and/.conky/ folder: $ ls -la drwxr-xr-x 10 and and 4096 dic 16 19:32 ./ drwxr-x--- 39 and and 4096 dic 16 19:13 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 18910 sep 20 21:52 bargraph.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 6069 sep 21 16:38 conkyrc -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 784 sep 21 08:21 conkyrc2 -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 112 dic 13 17:03 conky-startup.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 15985 sep 20 17:30 graph.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 7220 may 6 2019 grid2.png -rwxr-xr-x 1 and and 94 sep 21 08:29 kk.sh* -rw-r--r-- 1 and and 2153 sep 21 16:32 README.txt and, when I use "conky" at bash, the initial black and square conky still appears. And I receive: conky: desktop window (260000b) is subwindow of root window (1dd) conky: window type - desktop conky: drawing to created window (0x6e00001) conky: Unknown setting 'out_to_ncurses'
As I've also pointed out on the forum, you need to tell conky to actually use those conkyrc files, otherwise it will only use the file .conkyrc in your home directory. To use a different configuration conky must be invoked with the "-c" option: conky -c /home/<yourname>/conkyrc Change <yourname> to the correct username for your account.
Thanks a lot. We are approaching. I convert the old format to the new format ./convert.lua Gotham conkyrc No error. After, conky -c /home/and/.conky/Gotham/conkyrc No error, but Conky appears like this: https://gyazo.com/46cc72be25f19102b742f80cf777b44e
That looks quite close to what I see with the "Gotham" theme, except I don't get all the text from behind the conky window. Because you're using kde and I'm using xfce I can't really help you much further other than to suggest you try the various options for own_window* settings from: http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html In particular the own_window_type and own_window_transparent settings may need changing.
Also, try changing in your conkyrc file own_window_argb_visual = false; to own_window_argb_visual = true;
Hi, From what I can read, it seems that the conky-manager application is not updated by its developer to support the new conky features. With these corrections explained in the bug I close the issue hoping that conky-manager will be officially updated some day. Greetings!
