I upgraded from Version 1.9. Here is my `conky -v'

I changed my `conkyrc` Here it is:

The problem I keep getting repeatedly is:

conky: drawing to created window (0x2a00002)

I am not sure what the problem is. I had conky 1.9 version and that worked flawlessly. I upgraded to conky 1.10 did necessary changes (changing conykrc) and not it crashed midway. I tried different versions from repo and also by using cmake. Nothing.

If there is any information that I can present please let me know.

@sdban What about now? Your config worked okay for me.

@sdban I upgraded from Version 1.9.

Okay. This issue is old.

@sdban Here is my `conky -v'

conky 1.10.5_pre compiled Sat Jul 15 04:19:44 IDT 2017...

Okay. This issue is still old.

@lasers: @sdban What about now? Your config worked okay for me.

Okay. This config is still working.

@sdban I changed my conkyrc Here it is:

conky.config = {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   own_window_argb_visual= true,
   double_buffer = true,
   ...
   ...
   ...

Okay. This issue is most likely solved by https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/pull/383.
