Garbage on screen when conky script become bigger than 16KB #794

Closed GianniSandy closed 1 year ago

GianniSandy commented 5 years ago

My conky script during times became quite complex: when its size is going over 16KB, during execution is starting to show garbage at the end. This situation is becoming more evident when the script size is growing over 17.000 bytes. Last part of my script is related to network:

I've tried to add in the initial part the following line: text_buffer_size = 32768 but with NO LUCK! Only possible workaround is reduce its complexity.

Platform: Ubuntu (today 18.04 but I have already noticed it on 16.04) Conky version? 1.10.8

my current working conky script is reported below. When adding some more pluggable disk checking

conky.config = {

    background = true,
    font = 'Sans:size=8',

Can you try the latest master? Conky 1.11.3 came out 3 days ago. The older versions (right at or before 1.10.8) are not trustworthy due to too many changes that can be hard to track. Thank you.

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 myconf.conf # <-- your config goes here

Hi,

thanks for your quick response.

Sorry but I am not keen to follow the path to start from sources. Is it available a Debian SID/Ubuntu package repository to add to my repo list? I am currently on Ubuntu 18.04.

Best regards, Gianni

I don't think we have Debian/SID Ubuntu PPA for latest master. For what it's worth, the commands above will compile Conky and does NOT install anything to system. Maybe you want to make a directory (i.e. ~/src) and clone conky to there first.

All this is just information. I'm not asking you to do anything. Cheers.

Only possible workaround is reduce its complexity.

It's maybe the only thing you can do right now because I think it will take a long while for anybody to review this issue (and many others).

Another issue is that your config looks good, but we probably can't test it because it's too large and it contains different paths, different hardware, different distributions, et cetera so your best bet is to reduce its complexity. :-)

P.S. I can't tell if you wanted to share all ways to contact and/or find you in your reply email.

OK lets go with what you have.

From the get go - I notice your conky config is way to wordy - there are few things we can do to reduce the excessive wordage in the script.

see how things improve

cheers

Thanks for your suggestions,

so far I've simplified my conky script as much as possible with:     - changing base gap_x value     - striping out most of ${voffset -X} values     - tuning font usage as you described This simplification obviously works, the script size is reduced, enabling to add other features...up to when script size is arriving to 17300 bytes long:

I've also tried to set text_buffer_size to higher values: tried 65535, 131069 and also 262137 but without ANY clue / changes / improvements.

I feel I've found a real limitation in conky functionality...but I remain happy to use conky it as it is today.

Thanks for your work and your support.

  • I see you have added text_buffer_size - try cranking that up - way up and see what happens.
  • you can use the |${font Ubuntu:size=10}| and similar directives for varying font sizes once per usage and then close the section with |${font}|
  • use a conky weather program such a conkywx - OR - move your script offline so that you reduce the |${exec}| statements and it's other variants to absolute minimum.
  • overzealous use of |${offset}| - use |gap_x| to move the display once as you see fit - rather than use |${offset}| each line on the left most column - for second column this is fine.

see how things improve

cheers

I am not aware of anything in life that does not have it's limits.

Have a look at the desktop image - What is so fantastic about conky is that it is extensible with any scripting language or you can also use the built in Lua with cairo - the Anemometer you see in the image is an animated widget of sorts which gives a near real time feel to the wind and gust values which perhaps are updated every hour.

Lua is an embedded language of choice for most games and perhaps real time systems - so why not conky. This gives you limitless possibilities !!!
