Conky on dual screens, doesn't display properly #39

Closed cire831 closed 7 months ago

cire831 commented 10 years ago

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 with Kernel 3.12 (Linux zot 3.12.0-031200-generic #201311031935 SMP Mon Nov 4 00:36:54 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

The computer is a laptop, ASUS N550JV-DB72, quad core i7, intel 4th gen graphics (not using the on board nVidia chip). The computer has an HDMI out which the Intel graphics is driving just fine. I have an external 23in 1080p HDMI monitor hooked up and the main screen is also 1080p.

Sometimes when I fire up Conky it fails to display anything.

Other times, it will display properly and then the very next display the positioning will move (possibly a double buffering issue?).

I will attach configurations as other submissions later today.

This affects me, too. It seems Conky doesn't update where it should be placed when the resolution changes.

4 years 7 months passed. Can you determine if you're still having this problem today on 1.10.8 or 1.10.9_pre? The older versions are not trustworthy. Thank you.

titanofold commented 6 years ago

I can! Well, in a bit when I get home.

lasers commented 6 years ago

How far is your home? :laughing:

cire831 commented 6 years ago

light years by the sound of it. Since its been 4+ years :-)

titanofold commented 6 years ago

I travel by snail. In a few years I hope to upgrade to a turtle. I do apologize. I forgot about it as soon as I left work.

Anyway, I just tried it this morning, and the issue persists with 1.10.8.

lasers commented 6 years ago

Sorry, I think I was slightly wrong. 1.10.8 is outdated. Can you try the current master version? 

git clone https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky
cd conky
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4  # 4 cores to run in parallel
src/conky -c ~/conky.conf # <-- your config goes here

Can someone check if this is still valid?
