conky: obj->data.i 1 info.cpu_count 0

[rtoijala]

I am using the following conkyrc:

conky.config = {
    lua_load = 'test.lua',
    out_to_console = true,
    out_to_x = false
};

conky.text = [[
${lua pad 3 ${cpu cpu1}}
]];

and the following lua file:

function conky_pad(str, length)
    str = tostring(conky_parse(str));
    length = tonumber(conky_parse(length));

    return string.format("%"..length.."s", str);
end

Conky exits with the following output:

$ conky -DD -c conkyrc

conky: attempting to use more CPUs than you have!

Changing the line ${lua pad 3 ${cpu cpu1}} to simply ${cpu cpu1} fixes the problem. /proc/stat shows 4 cpus.

Running gdb --args conky -DD -c conkyrc and adding a breakpoint at get_cpu_count reveals that the function is never called (strace also shows that /proc/stat is never opened).

Fix merged long ago, closing.
