Can you post the relevant part of your conkyrc and the template.
I have no issues, and am using the following:
conkyrc:
template:Code:TEXT ${if_running rhythmbox}${color3}${execibar 1 conkyRhythmbox --datatype=PP} ${execp conkyRhythmbox --template=/home/mark/Scripts/conky/conkyRhythmbox.template}${endif}
Code:${color3}${font Liberation Sans:style=Bold:size=10}${alignr 320}[--datatype=PT]/[--datatype=LE] - [--datatype=PP]% ${font Liberation Sans:style=Bold:size=12}${alignr 320}[--datatype=TI] ${font Liberation Sans:style=Italic:size=11}${alignr 320}[--datatype=AR] ${font}${alignr 320}[--datatype=AL]
rhythmbox.conf
rhythm.templateCode:TEXT ${font arial:size=10}${color2}RHYTHMBOX ${hr 2}$color ${font arial:size=8}${if_running rhythmbox}${execp conkyRhythmbox --template=/etc/conky/rhythm.template}${endif}
Code:${color1}Artist: ${color}[--datatype=AR] ${color1}Album: ${color}[--datatype=AL] ${color1}Title: ${color}[--datatype=TI] ${color1}Position: ${color}[--datatype=PT]/[--datatype=LE] - [--datatype=PP]% ${color1}Rating: ${color}[--datatype=RT] ${color1}Volume: ${color}[--datatype=VO]
Well, I have tried to reproduce the error and can't, I don't think it is a problem with the script, I suspect conky has some issues with execp commands?
Can you try changing the "execp" with "execpi 1" and then see whether the problem remains? failing that try using the exec command with an alternative template without the {} formatting text, and see whether you still get issues...
What versions of conky are you running? I am running 1.6.1 in Hardy (compiled from source)
It might be worth asking the same questions on the conkyrc thread in case someone else has seen this before...Code:conky -v
I am not sure how much help I can provide here
1.5.1 on Hardy from repos
In that case can you try using exec instead of execp to see whether this stops the issue....I suspect execp and execpi have been tweaked quite a bit since that version....
I assume you are upgrading to Intrepid in a couple of days or so? If not I recommend you compile conky from source, see http://conky.sourceforge.net for the tarball.
Cheers
2.6.27-7 and conky 1.61 seem to have fixed the issue.....
I won't go into how long it took to get the new kernel to work.... painful...
UPDATE
I've published a new package labelled for Intrepid, starting at version 2.0.
The first post has been updated, and the package is available via apt.
To use the new intrepid "labelled" packages via apt, changes to your sources.list are needed. This:
Needs to become this:Code:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu hardy main
Currently either hardy or intrepid packages will work with either version of ubuntu.Code:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu intrepid main
However going forwards there are no guarantees that packages will continue to work with hardy, development may introduce intrepid specific dependencies. All future revisions will only be available for intrepid.
I'm using Intrepid now and this script is working, but I keep getting the following in my terminal over and over until I kill Conky. Is there a fix?
