What happened?

When I try to start conky I only get this message:

This happens since two or three weeks.

Got the same error with conky 1.18.1 (all perfect with conky 1.17.0).

with conky 1.17.0: conky: desktop window (291) is root window conky: drawing to desktop window conky: drawing to double buffer

I am running Arch, Xfce on Openbox, proprietary Nvidia 470 driver from AUR. I run conky on the root window (obvious from messages above).

Piscium commented 1 year ago

just realised that there is another similar (or duplicate) issue: https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/1410

gsommavilla commented 1 year ago

I had the same problem and I fixed by adding own_window_type = 'desktop' in the configuration file .conkyrc, like this:

conky.config = {
    ...
    own_window_type = 'desktop',
    ...
}

I am not sure why this solved the issue; I just took the default configuration, which worked, and started comparing it to my faulty config. The line that broke conky was own_window_type = 'desktop' missing. Hope this helps.

arkamar commented 1 year ago

I had the same issue (version 1.19.2). Indeed, own_window_type = 'desktop' solved it for me as well. @gsommavilla: thanks!

xjrga commented 11 months ago

I upgraded my system from debian stable to trixie and conky stopped working. I added own_window_type = 'desktop' to .config/conky/conky.conf and it works again. Conky version is 1.19.6.

This error is related to colormap, reason is "BadValue".

Does the latest version work?

TarjaTS commented 6 months ago

No, Sry...

Piscium commented 6 months ago

Does not work for me either, version 1.19.7 on Arch. Downgraded to version 1.17.0 and it works again.

However 1.19.7 seems to behave differently from 1.18.1 as I described in my post above, it does not seem to crash. Not sure what is wrong.

Caellian commented 6 months ago

No, Sry...

What version are you running? Is it 1.20.1?

However 1.19.7 seems to behave differently from 1.18.1

How so? Have you tried 1.20.1? I tested this version extensively and I believe most bugs introduced by new functionality are gone.

1.19.7 is the version currently in the official Arch repo. I built myself using the AUR package conky-git (with the modification by another AUR user) and with that package version 1.20.1 gets built, and it seems to be working for me. Of course conky has a huge array of features and I use only a small subset of those, those that I use seem fine.

So thanks to whoever fixed this.

So thanks to whoever fixed this.

That'd be mostly me, but it's also me who broke everything in the first place, so I guess I'm even. :relaxed:

TarjaTS commented 6 months ago

Now 1.20 is installed and it works. Many Thx...

Caellian commented 6 months ago

Closing as resolved then. Let me know if this issue recurs.
