conky: X Error: type 0 Display

[Presian Yankulov]

Hi,

Your conky setup is awesome, thanks for it!
I'm trying to use it on Solus Linux (conky version - 1.11.5), but:

 conky -c conkyrc.lua 
conky: desktop window (160004d) is subwindow of root window (1f0)
conky: window type - override
conky: drawing to created window (0x4a00002)
conky: X Error: type 0 Display 23ef1d0 XID 23068749 serial 135 error_code 8 request_code 1 minor_code 0 other Display: 23ef1d0

Aborted

Would you be so kind to help me fixing it ?

Best Regards,
PY

Hi,
that seems like an issue with conky itself and your desktop. I don't think there's much I can do.
Here's a similar issue which mentions own_window_type = "override": brndnmtthws/conky#424
Maybe if you change that to something else in conkyrc.lua it'll help.

Dear @philer ,
Thanks for looking into this and helping me out.
I have changed own_window_type = "override" to own_window_type = "desktop"

And now conky starts, but with the following traceback:

conky -c examples/columns.lua 
conky: desktop window (8200257) is subwindow of root window (1f0)
conky: window type - desktop
conky: drawing to created window (0x2000002)

conky: statfs '/mnt/blackstor': No such file or directory

I'm not sure if it is related to the own_window_type function or it's entirely new problem ?

Hi, that's because you don't have nvidia-smi installed (notice the line that says sh: nvidia-smi: command not found). If you have a nvidia gpu you can install that. If you don't then you won't be able to use the Gpu widget and need to remove it in layout.lua.
