    18.04 alpha1: Conky not compiled with Cairo enabled

    I have been using Conky since Ubuntu 16.04 as a replacement for Screenlets, and my current Conky configuration utilizes Cairo calls. After installing Ubuntu 18.04 alpha1, I installed Conky from the repository. I found the current version has not been built with Cairo enabled. Please correct this.

    Kind regards,

    Curt

    The version of conky in 18.04 is currently the same as in 17.10. Does it work in 17.10?

    Conky is maintained in Debian so you may want to report bugs there.

    Did you install the package conky or conky-all?
    conky-all has most compile options enabled.
    Tested in latest Bionic daily.
    Code:
    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt policy conky-all
    conky-all:

    "conky" installs conky-std which has fewer options enabled.(you may have forgotten this)
    Installing conky-all will replace the conky-std version.
    Code:
    sudo apt install conky-all

    Re: 18.04 alpha1: Conky not compiled with Cairo enabled

    Thank you, installing conky-all fixed my issue. I had initially installed conky using 'apt install conky' prior to installing Synaptic, so I wasn't aware this had in fact installed conky-std. Installing conky-all replaced conky-std.

    Best regards,

    Curt
