conky-lua 1.10
« on: 17. March 2016, 12:03:14 »
conky-lua has been outdated for quite a while and is still using conky 1.9 including the old syntax for the config.
This was getting more and more a problem, especially because  conky-lua and the regular conky 1.10 conflict and you cannot have both installed.
I now found conky-lua-nv which is at version 1.10.1 and 'provides' conky, meaning: When you have installed conky-lua-nv you can run any (new syntax) conkyrc files.
If you would still like to hold on to your old config syntax conkyrc, in many cases it will be read correctly. Or you will just have to stick to conky-lua which is still available from the AUR.
conky-lua-nv is in our unstable repo already and will arrive in the other repos with the next update.
The -"nv" btw stands for nvidia-support! ;) 8)

I have updated lua-clock-manjaro and lua-clock-i3 with the new syntax now and have them depend on conky-lua-nv, and I have added a third 'solarized' version for both of them, too :)

If s.o. tested it, I would like to know if it uses more RAM than the regular conky.

You mean with the same config? It's identical.

Great Oberon  ;)
I will be glad to try the new package, but I can't install it because pamac complain that manjaro-i3-setting require conky-i3 and conky-i3 conflicts with any other conky package...

Ofcourse it does, as it's providing conky. So you should remove the other conky package(s) and the install conky-i3.

You need today's stable update first! Then install conky-lua-nv and you'll have a conky 1.10 provided :)

Thank you Oberon, it works properly for me.  ;)
Now I have both the fluxbox and the i3 desktop and I can switch between using lightdm.
Unfortunately I have to rewrite my conky script since with 1.10 old configuration isn't fully supported  :-\
I just found the topic from you in the forum  O:-)

Too bad.  That was short-lived, conky no longer works for me after the latest stable release.  Conky-lua-nv was updated to 1.10.2-1 with the latest stable release.  Have a solution?  Thanks!

Exactly, version 1.10.2-1 of Conky or Conky-lua-nv doesn't work on my machine.  It appears to be an issue that limited to single-core CPU machines.  But it's explained over at the new forum.  Thanks, Oberon!
