Conky - Calendars / Clocks / Time

Sector11 · 2017-06-26 01:06:19

That does it ... running one instance of that conky and my computer froze - tighter than a bull's bum in fly season ... for the 3rd time. I'm going to salvage ututo's images and KILL/delete/grind-up the rest of that into fine pixels ... bye bye Grey!

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.

Scratching my head over this part. In the imlib_clock.lua there is this:

To use this script in Conky, Add this command in conkyrc file before (TEXT), Example :

lua_load ~/.conky/Conky-Name/imlib_clock.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre imlib_clock theme

OR you can add this other command to load script in conkyrc after (TEXT), Example :

${lua imlib_clock theme-name 120 100 100}

The original author uses "OR" , but in ututo's 1.90 conkyrc (which we know works) both are used; so it should be "AND" ????:

<snip>

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

TEXT

<snip>

${lua imlib_clock grey 130 71 72}

If I try to use both in conky 1.10, I get the error about imlib image being null, but the system information is shown:

lua 5.2, Void linux.

edit - I changed the system info to uptime and battery

Why not get some help from the Conky developers? You might have hit a bug, S11 and Dobbie03.

PackRat · 2017-06-26 15:48:54

@dobbie -

Got it working:

Void linux, conky 1.10, lua 5.2 -

I unziped the original configuration and scripts at deviantArt and recreated the author's directory structure so I didn't have to edit anything related to the clock (although I changed the system info). Converted the conkyrc to conky 1.10 syntax with convet.lua.

So now my question is, what does that image null error refer to, and is it actually an error?

the only additional package I installed was imlib2-tools to make sure I had all of imlib2; I checked Arch and Debian packages and saw they don't have a similar package, so I think if you have imlib2 and lua you should be good.

NO, it really is OR -- not AND

Look at it this way:

Option 1. Above TEXT (or Before) your choice:

lua_load ~/.conky/Conky-Name/imlib_clock.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre imlib_clock theme

TEXT

Option 2. Above and Below TEXT

lua_load ~/.conky/Conky-Name/imlib_clock.lua

TEXT

${lua imlib_clock theme-name 120 100 100}

In either, Option 1 or Option 2, this line MUST go above TEXT

lua_load ~/.conky/Conky-Name/imlib_clock.lua

Loot at ututo's conky, he's using Option 2.

Now that error: NOT A CLUE!

@dobbie -

do you have the tolua++ package installed? That's the only other lua package I have installed that you may need. I can't remember if it comes in as a dependency for Arch and Void (it should on a debian system for conky-all).

^ thanks - looks like it is just a dev package now; probably still need it to compile conky from source.

@S11 no freezing. But I did try "own_window = false" and that wreaked some havoc with all open windows blinking and crashed tint2. Good times.

And this being conky -> more tweaking; changed the "alignr" to "goto" for some better (on my screen anyway) balance and changed the font to a monospaced with a slashed "0":

hahahahaha OMG! I remember that use to happen all the time back in my days with Xubu!

And I see you are using conky v1.10 I refuse - as long as v1.9 runs for me I will use it.

PackRat · 2017-06-26 18:50:10

I don't blame you. It would be nice if conky 1.9 was forked; or even 1.8.

Sector11 · 2017-06-26 19:35:08

HoaS made a Debian Stretch version of conky 1.9 I'm running the Debian 8 conky-all in Debian 9 and it works just fine. Ah yes, conky 1.8 was the "sweetheart" of conkys. 1.7 was a killer.

What distro are you running?

PackRat · 2017-06-26 19:45:15

Void Linux. I'd have to compile 1.9 from source - which I've done for Void once; or try and use xbps-source to make a Void package for it.

Think you can find the source for Conky 1.9 in the Debian snapshots repo. Just need to rebuild it against the newer libraries.

@Head_on_a_Stick's package works just fine so far.

In other words: I knew that, I forgot that I knew that, but I knew that. O:)

Try what I did. I was stumped so just started from scratch. Unzip the original file and re-create the author's directory structure. Use the conky 1.10 config file I posted; don't touch the lua script.

I recently copied the files to a new location - ~/conky/clock/ - and edited the paths in the conkyrc and lua script. Which is how I started yesterday. And of course it works just fine - still get that terminal output about the imlib image being null though.
