bspwm implementation

[cmizzi]

While using Conky with bspwm, an error occurred when the system is started :

conky: window type - override
conky: drawing to created window (0xe00002)
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  195
  Current serial number in output stream:  197

When the system is booting, conky starts as well but when I stop it and re-create instance, this error is thrown. I need to use override window type because I want conky to be placed below others windows without being considered as window. dock or panel modes are taking conky above all others windows...

Did you try desktop window type? I use it on bspwm and it works fine.

conky report error like above when window type set to override

Hi. If you're still experiencing this, can you gdb conky + (gdb) run until it crashes, then (gdb) bt full to print out a backtrace. Paste it here. Thanks.

@ShionRyuu Can you try the current master? I do not have this issue on bspwm. Thanks.

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

@cmizzi You too. I thought @ShionRyuu was the author of this issue. Oof.

I've got the following error message. It doesn't appear when window type is set to desktop.

conky: desktop window (400005) is subwindow of root window (135)
conky: window type - override

Can you share your config? Also, try src/conky without the -c ~/.conkyrc to rule out your config (or something in your config). I installed bspwm yesterday to test current master and had no issue.

• Run gdb conky.
• Run (gdb) run -c ~/.conkyrc.
• When it crashes, run (gdb) bt full.
• We want that backtrace.
• Thanks.
