Conky (under Wayland) segmentation fault

[manyroads]

I have discovered that conky running on wayland (sway) does not function. Based on my readings this appears to be because conky on Sid is not compiled with the out_to-wayland flag set.

Here's the error I am experiencing. Hopefully someone can help fix the issue.

Works on Sid here -

Code: Select all

wizard@laptop 09:47:23 $ conky &
[1] 18462
wizard@laptop 09:47:28 $ conky: desktop window (0x4f0) is root window
conky: window type - desktop
conky: drawing to created window (0x400002)
conky: drawing to double buffer
conky: forked to background, pid is 18463

conky: FOUND: console
conky: FOUND: ncurses
conky: FOUND: file
conky: FOUND: x11
conky: FOUND: wayland
conky: '(null)' wayland session running 'wlroots' desktop

My guess is it's something else. lua scripts don't work in Wayland but I've got a couple of non-lua conkys running under labwc as we speak

[manyroads]

@wizard10000 None of my scripts use lua. My scripts do run on TileOS (a debian derivative) but not on debian (sid) proper. Would you be willing to share one of your working scripts (plain Jane type) for me to test???


EDIT: here's the message I get when running my conky:

Code: Select all

╭─mark@debian ~  
╰─➤  conky -c /home/mark/.conky/sway/.sway-2rc
conky: drawing to single buffer

Here's the offending conky:

Sure - here's a link:

https://paste.debian.net/1338184/

and a clickable screenshot of a couple conkys running under labwc - the one on the left is local (and is the one I shared above), the one on the right is running remotely but the remote machine doesn't do Wayland, that's X over ssh.

@wizard10000 By way of an update, I think I can say the bug rests with Sway. I have installed your variant with my changes on labwc and it works just fine. The following proof of life image offers my 'proof'. Thank you, again.

[wizard10000]

Glad you got it working - interesting that sway might be the culprit.

I have seen some video glitches with that conky and firefox that I haven't figured out yet - I haven't seen it in about a week but four or five times conky failed to refresh after closing a firefox window that partially covered it. Sid recently got a fresh conky and that appears to have resolved the issue - at least so far
