Startup issue and more #1150

Closed KMLAgency closed 1 year ago

KMLAgency commented 2 years ago

SO.. I use conky since years without problem, but since few weeks, it auto-start at startup but randomly show itself... It's always in the running process, but it doesn't appear on the desktop !! Sometime it does !! Than, most of the time the command killall conky do nothing... I have to kill conky process via KSysGuard !!

So for now what I have to do is: When I start the pc, I wait, if conky doesn't load I kill it via KSysGuard, than I start it again with the command conky -dqc ~/path/to/my/conkyrc... At this point sometime it start the process but it doesn't show on desktop, so I have to kill it again and start it again... And sometime it start the process and it show up on desktop, but it stuck.... So I have to kill it again and start it again... Sometime I use the command killall -SIGUSR1 conky to kill it and start it again, but with same behavior !!

sorry if it's not that clear...

I'm on Opensuse Leap 15.3 KDE plasma 5 and use last conky 1.12.2 !!

The auto-start script is basic:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20
conky -dqc ~/path/to/my/conkyrc
exit

And in the conky option I set the window type to dock.

Thanks for any idea!!
