I was trying to install conky-lua when I got this error, and I don't know how to proceed from here.
Please help.

This is because toluapp installs to / instead of /usr. Change its installation command to this:
scons prefix="$pkgdir/usr" install
I've made a comment on the toluapp AUR page regarding this.

[SOLVED] conky-lua build fails due to toluapp package issues

I am trying to install conky-lua from AUR on 64 bit Arch and failing miserably.
When running the following:
yaourt -Sy conky-lua
I get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.2/../../../../lib/libtolua++.a(tolua_is.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build conky-lua package.
I have read through what search results I can find on the topic (both here and via google) and have attempted to remedy the situation by adding build options to the toluapp build to provide for the conky-lua build. I have tried this by adding CCFLAGS = '-fPIC' to the scons call in the PKGBUILD file, I have also tried editing the config_linux.py file, which sits along side the main build file, to include the -fPIC switch also, which doesn't work either. i.e. I have this in the config_linux.py now:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
Which doesn't work, it results in:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
tolua++-1.0.93.tar.bz2 ... Passed
config_linux.py ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
Error: Makepkg was unable to build toluapp package.
Can someone help me through a build as I have never come across scons before and maybe I am providing directives to the toluapp build incorrectly? I am still thinking in "make" terms...
I NEED lua in conky
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Kaivalagi

I was asked by email on what exactly I did to get conky-lua installed and working on 64bit Arch, so I thought I would post my reply below in case it is of help to anyone else. Cheers
Run "yaourt -S conky-lua". Amongst other things this will try to install a dependancy which you need to mess about with, the package you need to edit is "toluapp".
When the "toluapp" package is downloaded by yaourt answer y to the edit question and provide something like gedit or kate as the editor to use
You'll now see the PKGBUILD file in the editor, this doesn't need editing just yet. But if you open file from the editor you'll see the directory thie PKGBUILD is in, and you want to edit the config_linux.py file you'll see there.
You should see this line in the config_linux.py file:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall']
Change it so it is like this:
CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
Now, back to the PKGBUILD file, you'll see this line:
md5sums=('100aa6907b8108582080b37d79c0afd7' 'bab107cdd2d18d3453a2344341b77c45')
These checksums line up with tarball and config_linux.py files, and this will stop you're edit from working if not amended because the .py file isn't what it should be, we changed it. So run md5sum against the .py file and update the second checksum in the line appropriately.
Carry on with the package installation and conky should have lua support

[SOLVED] Conky lua problem (transparency)

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer my conky from Ubuntu to Arch: below is a screenshot of the Ubuntu version (what it should look like). On Arch I have a solid black background. If it's relevant, I'm running Archbang rather than pure Arch, so with Openbox.
My main issue at the moment is the semi-transparency (and I'd like to have the rounded corners too). I understand that conky 1.8.0 can do transparency, but only with a compositor, and I'd rather keep my system as light as possible. So I've replaced my conky with 1.7.2 conky-lua from AUR and (don't know if this was necessary) installed cairo and lua from the repos. Unfortunately the lua script I used on Ubuntu isn't working; when I run conky in the terminal I get the message ".conkyrc: 121: config file error". At lines 120 and 121 I have my
lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre
My .conkyrc and lua script are below. Thanks for looking!

Background by londonali1010 (2009)
This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.
To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre
Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)
-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.
corner_r=15
-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

The error in line 121 is because of lua_draw_hook_pre command must have a function name. In your file, it would be:
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg
To get the transparency put the command:
own_window_transparent yes
I have tried this in an AwesomeWM, with conky 1.8.0 compiled with lua support, and without compositing.

[SOLVED] Question about conky-lua-arch.

I've managed to get conky-lua-arch up and working except for one minor issue. When I launch it, it automatically displays on the far right side of my 2nd monitor. This leads me to believe its alignment is pre-configured to run on the right side of the screen, which is fine, but how do I get it to be on the right side of my "primary" monitor instead? I've looked thru /usr/share/conky-lua-arch/clock-rings.lua but could not find an alignment or position parameter. I also could not find any other conky-lua-arch config files to look at. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: The config file was located elsewhere. Solved.

Sorry, I wanted to put code tags, but I was unaware of the command. I am running conky-lua-nv 1.8.0-1 from the AUR. There also seems to be some issue with the drawing of the rings, as it shows percents but not the graphical rings that go with it. I suspect it has something to do with the lua file. Anyone see any issue?

Did you check the AUR, or the Wiki? Go check the AUR package for Conky-lua and see if any of the comments on there are helpful, please.

Can't Install conky-lua

I can't seems to get conky-lua install nor build. This is the error I got.
gcc: error: /tmp/packerbuild-1000/conky-lua/conky-lua/src/conky-1.9.0/lua/.libs/libcairo.so: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libcairo.la] Error 1

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
The build failed.
Using PKGBUILD from AUR. Tried both way, using AUR helper packer -S conky-lua and download PKGBUILD and makepkg it still give me the same error. Anyone would be kind enough to tell me what did I do wrong?

Actually, you did install conky, it just installed with a warning.
As far as I know, you can safely ignore that warning.
What is this warning anyway?
conky needs to get its directory permission fixed. Please submit a bug report.
Someone had same problem with nitrogen and conky and reported a bug (cant find link right now). Should I report a bug also?
The warning is just what it says. Permissions for the directory /man/man1 in the package differs on the one in your system. Permissions should be set right in the PKGBUILD. You may try to contact the contributors of the PKGBUILDs (conky, nitrogen,..) and tell them that -> bugreport.

[Solved]Conky and word wrapping - Is there a way?

So I have a very limited area to work with, something like 176x360 (+/- a few pixels), and I want the ability to show an RSS feed. Well, the feed works of course, but due to the limited width, I'm in great need of word wrapping, and for that problem I have found no solution and going on for 2-3 hours straight, my head hurts
Anyway, here's my .conkyrc, not that it's needed of course.

I know this looks confusing and probably is full of critical error, but that simple because I'm a conky noob. I basically just downloaded a profile I liked and completely changed it over the course of a few hours.
Anyway, I'm rambling again, but if you've got any idea's, please do let me know.
Best regards.

Okay, so I've found sort of a solution to part of the problem, so what I have so far look like this:
wget -quiet -O - archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | fmt -w 25 -g 25
It works as long as there are no words longer than 25 character, which I should think is rare, even including package names and such.
However there's still the issue parsing the xml so I get only what I want:
<item><title>$content</title><link>
This may be solved using some sort of terminal rss parser, but I would rather prefer not to.
Then there's the issue with reloading.
My current conky is set to reload every second, but of course one can't just pull the feed every second and I'm not convinced that conky has any built in solution for that problem. Of course I can always start a cronjob and save it all to a file, but portability would be nice.
anyway, I'll return later.

[SOLVED]Conky Forecast problems

I upgraded OpenOffice yesterday and for some reason everytime I run Conky, this error message shows up
/usr/bin/conkyForecast: line 3: :/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/:/usr/lib/guake: No such file or directory
If anyone knows how to solve that problem, any help would be appreciated.

[Solved] Conky, Borders and AwesomeWM

Just wondering if it possible to remove the outline border of Conky on AwesomeWM. I got rid of the shadowing around it due to compton by doing the following:
compton --config ~/.compton.conf --shadow-exclude 'n:a:Conky' -b &
But no matter what I did I still get the border around Conky.
Here is compton configuration file.
http://pastebin.com/rwCn3gNn
And here is my conky config file.
http://pastebin.com/Kewtxm1x
Still struggling to get it removed. Here is a screenshot also.

It's been a really long time since I used conky so this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but you could try:
1. Set own_window_type to either "desktop" or "override" in your .conkyrc
2. Create a rule for conky in awesome's rc.lua that sets the property, border_width = 0

[SOLVED] Conky Disappears!

Check it. I'll start conky, left click in irssi, then left click anywhere on my desktop. Then, conky disappears! It still running ofcourse..

Maybe it's something in my config?

//Changing own_window_type to root, and adding own_window_hints undecorate,sticky seems to work!

I was going to suggest adding
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
but I see that you've already solved it.
With own_window_hints, you should be able to leave own_window_type as "desktop".

(SOLVED) Conky and battery status

How come this will not work on my system:
${color red}$alignc Battery Information
${color lightgrey} Currently: $battery
${color lightgrey}$stippled_hr
I have tried a dozen scripts for battery status and nothing works. Does anyone have a sure fire way to get some status from my battery?
I am using a netbook, pretty standard stuff. I don't know why it won't work. I tried other commands and one returned "U" for unknown battery status and what not. How can I find out what is going on?
edit:
Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,70 BAT0}
This displays 0% and an empty bar.
I went ahead into /proc/acpi/battery and found BAT1 and no BAT0, so I changed the script and I get a percent now...
This may be solved, but I am going to try the other functions to see if I can get the output I wanted in the first place.
Why does Conky hate batteries?
Last edited by Google (2010-07-02 07:16:26)

"$battery" does not work because it assumes as default BAT0, which you don't have so it will have to be "$battery BAT1". See "man conky" for more info....

[SOLVED] Conky question

Is there a way to show the gateway address in the conkyrc file just like you can with an eth0 address?
Last edited by tyndallc (2010-03-11 21:35:59)

1. Conky has a manual. It is made of win and text.
2. If solved, mark thread as solved. Kthxbai.

[Solved]Conky says it's 3 hours in the future...

I'm using a straight up OpenBox desktop and I have been fiddling with conky for a little while. For some reason (and yes, I did a locale-gen, and checked to see that my timezone was set to US/Eastern in rc.conf) Conky, and only Conky, seems to think it is currently 5 pm, when it is just 2 pm.

The time code was originally {time %B %d. %Y | %I:%M:%S} I expanded it to see if it might have been the issue. It wasn't, so in the course of writing this post, I swapped it back.
Tint2 doesn't have this issue, but I feel that the time off to the side disrupts the look of the bar. I haven't tinkered with it enough to put the time in the center, between the two desktop bars, if it is even possible.
Ok.. I just double checked myself to make sure that tint2 wasn't displaying incorrectly, and it is, so this is something other than just conky. Hmm... I did just reset my locale, maybe a restart would help. (That sounds like typical Windows advice!)
I will report back after the reboot.
BRB
Update:
Restart did not fix the issue. I do find this a little strange that my clock is telling me that I am sitting in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, and I have no way of resetting it.
Ok... easiest solve ever. I feel like an idiot.

Hmm. This could be a good thing. What does Conky say about the Dow Jones Industrial Average three hours from now? And I'd like to check back with you on Superbowl Sunday, if I may....
Dow 1.53% down. I am sure the Superbowl's scores will be coming in on schedule.
Thanks for the note about time sync'ing. I may just do that.
