Conky - Calendars / Clocks / Time

Döbbie03 · 2017-06-25 05:07:33

I've changed my mind about giving up, this config is too good to pass by.

I deleted all the files and started from scratch with a 1.10 version. This is the error I am now getting in the terminal.

onky: llua_load: /home/dobbie/.conky/Grey/scripts/lua/imlib_clock.lua:17: module 'imlib2' not found:
	no field package.preload['imlib2']

conky: desktop window (4b9) is root window
conky: window type - normal
conky: drawing to created window (0x3800002)

I am indeed missing those files/folders. I have lua 5.3 installed. Not sure where to go from here.

Try 5.2 that's what's running here.

Let me persevre with 5.3 first, once I am out of ideas then I will try 5.2

geez... i just see these posts.
I'm running...

Conky 1.9.0 compiled Wed Sep 10 07:11:34 UTC 2014 for Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (x86_64)

try to extract the tar file in /home/your_name/.conky/Grey/images/grey/
lets see what happens.
It's not my code. just changed some images...

^ I have exactly the same error.

I think you are right but there is no hint as to what they maybe in any of the errors

I suspect you have the files, just not the folder/directory structure.

There may an under the hood difference in where Arch and Debian install the files - i.e. /usr/lib v. /usr/share/lib - and then configures the application (lua and imlib in this case?).

If you can locate the files that llua_load is looking for, you may be able to just create some symlinks to the locations it's searching. I've had success doing that in the past.

I have done a through search and I am missing these files. Would be nice if the people on G+ who got it working on Arch would reply to me.

Yea, mine works from the same place and I also have it running from:

/media/5/Conky/Grey/conkyrc

Above TEXT in the conky I removed:

update_run_times 0

it's not a conky command.

and in the LUA script I commented out (line 23):

--	imlib_free_image ()

Run the two of them too long and things freeze up though

Dobbie03, hope you get it going.

Döbbie03 · 2017-06-25 22:20:05

I have tried those, if I have the lua link uncommented in the conky config I get a seg fault.

Still struggling to get the clock face to show.

@ Dobbie03 - I have none of the things that conky is telling you you are missing.
I have:

/usr/share/lua/5.1
/usr/share/lua/5.2

and go from / to:

/usr/lib/lp_solve
/usr/lib/man-db

so no "/usr/lib/lua/" either.

Sniffing out files:

 25 Jun 17 @ 19:13:21 ~
   $ sff imlib2 /
[sudo] password for sector11: 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/imlib2
 
 25 Jun 17 @ 19:14:41 ~
   $ sff imlib2.lua /
[sudo] password for sector11: 
 
 25 Jun 17 @ 19:15:12 ~
   $

crazy!!!!

OK, where is Rod Serling hiding? ... He's gotta be here someplace!! ... I hear the music!

Döbbie03 · 2017-06-25 22:34:19

I'm struggling to keep calm with this. I just can't understand how people who are using the same system as me can get it going yet it won't work for me. Totally frustrated.

Sector11 · 2017-06-25 22:44:02

OH I've been there and done that ... in fact in another respect, I'm there and doing that ... but not with conky.

I'm having nearly the same issues with Void. I repoduced your error in post #155. After converting the conkyrc file to 1.10, I get the conky data part, but not the clock. No seg fault though. I'll tinker a bit longer with it.

Thanks Pack. Appreciate it.

PackRat · 2017-06-26 00:07:28

^ I'm stumped.

The only thing I can think of is that lines like these in the lua script (after changing the path to match my system):

image_path = os.getenv ('HOME')..'/.conky/DAWANA/images/'

local imgFace =  imlib_load_image(image_path..theme..'/face.png')

aren't registering so the script doesn't find the images. I have no idea why that would be, but keep coming back to that.

Time to walk the dog and think about something else for a while 8o

I actually had that thought too.....I'm going to let this rest for a few days and revisitwhen I am in a better mood

Weird ... I have it in two locations:

~/home
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/conkyrc
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/scripts/lua/imlib_clock.lua
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/images/grey/face.png
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/images/grey/h.png
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/images/grey/m.png
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/images/grey/s.png

lua_load ~/.conky/Grey/scripts/lua/imlib_clock.lua

TEXT
${goto 120}Buenos Aires

${voffset 10}${goto 150}${time %A}
${goto 150}${time %e}.${time %m}.${time %Y}
${lua imlib_clock grey 130 71 72}\

${voffset 10}${goto 120}${color1}${time %T}${color}

and in /media/5/Conky:
/media/5/Conky/Grey/images - same sub directory structure
/media/5/Conky/Grey/scripts - same sub directory structure
/media/5/Conky/Grey/conkyrc

lua_load /media/5/Conky/Grey/scripts/lua/imlib_clock.lua

TEXT
${goto 120}Buenos Aires

${voffset 10}${goto 150}${time %A}
${goto 150}${time %e}.${time %m}.${time %Y}
${lua imlib_clock grey 130 71 72}\

${voffset 10}${goto 120}${color1}${time %T}${color}

Other than commenting out the line in the LUA script I didn't touch anything else.

Obviously from the LUA script it's picking up the images from:
/home/sector11/.conky/Grey/images/grey/
because I did not change that

image_path = os.getenv ('HOME')..'/.conky/Grey/images/'

Brainstorming: Think: "..theme.." dould that be "directory" ???

Grey and grey ???
