Conky

[alekie]

I have downloaded and installed conky but cannot get it to start. I'm new with Tinycore so I am not sure what I have missed.
I have edited the conky.conf file and conky is listed in onboot in appaudit.

Any help would be appreciated. If more information is needed I will post here.

Open a terminal window, enter "conky" and see if there are any error messages. If so, please cut and paste them here.

error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Thanks,

Alex

OK, the ncurses extension is missing.

Which conky extension are you using, conky or conky_plus?

The ncurses extension is a dep of conky_plus, but I may need to add it as a dep of conky if that's the version you're using.

[alekie]

I'm using conky. not conky plus.

Thanks

[Juanito]

OK - I'll correct the dep file in the repo - thanks for reporting this.

In the meantime, you can download the ncurses extension to get things working.

[alekie]

Thanks! Just downloaded it and it is working!

Conky (desktop system monitor) does not work! what should I do !?

x86_64-bit TCL

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ conky
conky: Can't set the specified locale!
Check LANG, LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL.
conky: desktop window (6a6) is root window
conky: drawing to desktop window
conky: unknown variable '$version'
conky: obj->data.i 3 info.cpu_count 2
conky: attempting to use more CPUs than you have!
tc@box:~$


[Juanito]

It works for me:

Code: [Select]

$ conky
conky: desktop window (111) is root window
conky: drawing to desktop window
conky: unknown variable '$version'
..I wonder if the cpu message is a bug (conky displays data from 4 cpus for me) - did you check conky github, there a lot of hits for the error message?

[xor]

Could you first update the application in the repository!?

[Juanito]

Please do some checking of your own first.

..and you could also try a custom conky config displaying just one cpu to see if that works.

[xor]

Can you tell me what to write !?

[Juanito]

Edit /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.conf and remove cpu1,2,3

CPU: I'm using an AMD A4-5300 processor.

This application comes in the form of automatic CPU identification in addition to the desktop in many linux distributions. In this way, it directly recognizes the system. Could you please update the application with a setting to automatically recognize the processors?!

Edit /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.conf and remove cpu1,2,3
