[icf20]

i try to put this in conkyrc ${exec tail -n 15 .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/[=\'#]/ /g" }

but i get conky: [string "..."]:151: [string "converted config"]:54: unexpected symbol near '$'

tail -n 15 .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/[=\'#]/ /g" give me

color1   4EB2AF 
color2   5AC2BA 
color3   6DC9B9

color12   6ECAC6 
color13   99D5B8 
color14   B9CEB5

Give us the contents of your script colors.sh

Give us the contents of your script colors.sh

is not a script is just a way to store the information by pywal

Ok, I think your issue is in your conkyrc: conky: [string "..."]:151: [string "converted config"]:54: unexpected symbol near '$'

Give us your conky.

https://github.com/icf20/conkyrc/blob/master/conkyrc i also tested this converted using the lua script

[dbriba]

what is your conky's version? 1.9 or 1.10 ? To know that, in console type conky -v

[icf20]

1.10

[dbriba]

Ok I think that the problem is here. Your config is for conky 1.9, and you must transform it in the new syntax for 1.10. With conky 1.10 there is a script which transform conky 1.9 syntax to the 1.10, but sometimes the transformation is not complete. And you have this type of error.

[icf20]

for example if i take this config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dobbie03/dobbies-conky/master/s11.conkyrc

and replace the colour part with ${exec tail -n 16 .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/$/,/g", } i get .conky/conkyrc:38: unexpected symbol near '$') while reading config file. conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion. conky: [string "..."]:139: attempt to index a nil value (local 'settings')

it looks to me that conky cant handle exec tail inside the conky.config = { } only in conky.text = [[ ]]

A year and two weeks passed. I suppose you don't need this issue to stay opened. Closing.

I have the same question.

I'm trying to run ${exec sed -n 11,19p ~/.cache/wal/colors.sh} inside the concy_config = {} segment and get the following error:

conky: Syntax error (/home/eichhorn/.config/conky/conky.conf:39: unexpected symbol near '$') while reading config file.
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.
conky: [string "..."]:139: attempt to index local 'settings' (a nil value)

How do I do that correctly?

[gibranlp]

Is this thing fixed, can anyone show how to import colors from pywal to conky for version 1.11 of conky.

Cheers

You can do this by invoking execpi in the conky config file.

conky_config

conky.text = [[
${voffset 10}$font${execpi 15 /usr/bin/conky_echo_color color3}${execi 10000 awk -F= '/TION/ {print $2}' /etc/lsb-release |sed 's/"//g'}
]]

/usr/bin/conky_echo_color

#!/bin/bash

source ~/.cache/wal/colors.sh

echo "\${color $(eval echo \$$1)}"
