Sorry for the useless post

If you mean the absence of images, it only happens when I power on my pc (or after a restart) because conky doesn't have the time to "see" them. After it updates itself for the first time the images are always there.
Is your internet connection stable?

Thanks @teo it happens when I start it, the connection is ok.
It all works.
thank you
Regards

Today I received the text "[End of Service] Weather Underground API" via e-mail...

It's a pity, but the reliability of the transmitted data of "my personal weather station" (pw) was excellent in the last three months and never better!

↑ Yea, I got the same same, unklar.

It did say this though:

Your subscriptions, and therefore access, will continue to work through 12/31/2018

... so we will just have to convert everything to Accuweather.

I have a question about executing the weather scripts in conky.

I don't remember how log I have this issue, but I've managed to target it now, and it looks like the texeci is involved somehow.

Basically when I start conky, everything works just fine for some time, but from time to time, my GUI session hangs/freezes for 10-30 seconds, and after that it works fine again. When the hang happens, the mouse and audio work fine, but keystrokes and video seem to be frozen like in a regular hang when you want to press the reset button, but I can switch to TTY via ctrl+alt+F1 (so keyboard works), and under TTY everything works fine. When I go back to GUI session, it's still frozen. So it looks like only X-server/window_manager/compositor_manager is hanged. When everything backs to normal, my GUI session gets some fast forward mode, so for example a movie speeds up for a few secs to display all the frames that weren't displayed during the freeze.

I removed all the texeci from conky weather scripts, and moved the execution of the scripts to cron (in 30min interval). I haven't noticed any hangs since then. So what can be wrong with the execution of the weather scripts from conky?

^ answering that question will require complex troubleshooting.

first of all, what conky config and accompanying shell script do you use? you'll need to show us. _your modified version_ of course.
then troubleshooting: does the bad behaviour stop when you disable parts of the setup? like, let conky run, but just comment out the output parsing?
or, does the freeze always occur when the cron job executes?
etc. etc...

My conky config is here:
https://gitlab.com/morfikov/debian-file … fik/.conky

Basically it's 4 different instances: 1 for disks, 1 regular conky, and 2 weather conky (hourly_2015 + images_2015 + moon).

The bad behavior stops when I remove the following from the scripts:

${texeci 3600 bash /home/morfik/.conky/1_accuweather/1_accuweather -f2015}${texeci 600 bash /home/morfik/.conky/4_Moon/moon_MoonGiant}

${texeci 600 bash /home/morfik/.conky/1_accuweather/1_accuweather -h2015 -h_8h -h_no_forecast}

When I moved these execution to cron, freezes don't happen -- they only happen when the scripts are called from conky,

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-12-23 14:04:13

Have you tried merging the two calls to the script?
ie. instead of having one call for the forecast every 6 hours and one call for the hourly forecast every hour, merge them into one call

${texeci 600 bash /home/morfik/.conky/1_accuweather/1_accuweather -f2015 -h2015 -h_8h -h_no_forecast}${texeci 600 bash /home/morfik/.conky/4_Moon/moon_MoonGiant}

Also, what is the -h_no_forecast parameter?

I added the parameter to remove one part in the output, because it wasn't looking good in my conky.

I don't have the text under the images on the left conky

I could try to merge them and see whether that helps.

It also hangs.

That is a mighty conky you have there.

morfik · 2018-12-23 22:06:01

Yes it is.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-12-24 12:49:29

Ok, next step: try merging the accuweather and the moon script to reduce the execi commands to just one.

Also, you seem to have a spot of wallpaper in your conky.

No, that won't work -- the hang happens even if there's only the left conky running, and it has only one script exec.

Seem to have what?

TeoBigusGeekus · 2018-12-26 17:57:57

That's strange indeed, I've yet to see any footprint whatsoever on my pc's performance running conky with the scripts, it's as though they aren't there.

PS: Have you tried using execi instead of texeci?
PS2: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Teo is joking with you, meaning your entire screen is covered with conky but we can see a little of your wallpaper behind them
