Malformed number

[rabinnh]

I just converted a Conky 1.9 script to 1.10.

Here is the beginning of the script:

conky.config = {
    alignment = top_right,
    background = yes,
    border_margin = 5,
    border_width = 5,
    color0 = 555555,
    color1 = FCAF3E,
    color2 = 20b73c,
    color3 = a82553,

When running it I get this error:

conky: Syntax error (mainrc:8: malformed number near '20b73c') 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)

I have no idea what's wrong. 20b73c is certainly valid and I made sure that there are no special characters or even whitespace on the lines.

ANy help is appreciated.

I don't see a config.

I found your conky repository. https://github.com/rabinnh/conky-wksta

I didn't have a problem converting. Here it is.

Thank you. I also was able to convert it by hand, but I'm still having issues getting it to run.

[lasers]

What specific issues? If you want to, you can try the current master.

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

[rabinnh]

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Serial number of failed request:  302
  Current serial number in output stream:  303

I don't really know how to interpret this.

[lasers]

I don't either. I searched that error and it seems that you should try commenting and/or change own_window* options. If that does not work, try commenting out options until you find the option that's causing this problem (and try different values).

[rabinnh]

The offending line is:

own_window_type = 'override',

[lasers]

For what it's worth, I don't have a problem running your config as-is. If I had to take a guess, I'd say own_window* configs could be conflicting with your desktop environment and/or composite manager. Otherwise, I don't really know. Anyway, I take it you can take this from here now with some tweaks?

[rabinnh]

Yes, without that line it works fine.

[lasers]

Great. I'll close this. I wonder if override works okay with own_window_transparent = false. Also, if you can't use override, it seems like you could try some own_window_hints. The manual say with override on, those hints "have no meaning and are ignored" so you may be able to retain some hints.

Whatever, I'm sure you tried all this already. Have a good day. :+1:
