When run from the terminal I get no errors at all. $ conky -D DEBUG(0) [conky.c:5334]: reading contents from config file '/home/<user>/.conkyrc' Conky: forked to background, pid is 2507 $ Conky: desktop window (2600003) is subwindow of root window (107) Conky: window type - override Conky: drawing to created window (0x7a00001) Conky: drawing to double buffer ^C $ killall conky Conky: received SIGINT or SIGTERM to terminate. bye! Using strace I get a huge output, I don't know how I could filter it down to the relevant messages. > > There was a conky update in October... perhaps file a bug on it and > > see if the older version still works? > > > Downgrading also has the same problem, so its definitely a local issue. I tried using conky with WindowMaker on this same machine, and it works perfectly. This led me to conclude it could be some window manager (xfwm4) setting. So I tried with compositing turned off but no luck there either. Do you have any ideas to what could be the culprit here? -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
