MX17 version didn't have lua5.2 on board
Sounds like something we should correct for the next version, thanks for mentioning it.

Maybe this is intentional because of the construct: conky-all(1.10) and the CM and its configuration files in 1.9
I doubt lua5.2 has anything to do with the problem. Regarding converting conky 1.9 to 1.10, COnky 1.10 does it normally while running, even in MX15/16.

Anyway, what I did was try to get the manual gears clock conky running in Manjaro, which has conky 1.10, lua (latest 5.3) and lua52 both installed, and also has cairo package (1.16) already installed .

This was the initial terminal error message.

I had to use screenshot because after that first message, another error message kept propagating non-stop (see below) and I couldn't scroll up fast enough to copy the starting error message ("select all" menu option also wouldn't work):

Code: Select all

conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to call a nil value
conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to call a nil value
conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to call a nil value
conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to call a nil value
So it didn't work in Manjaro either for me. How did you get it to work??

That's very thoughtful of you. :happy:

Although the user heart in me says, you would rather have used the solution of anticapitalista in antiX...
But here I have no idea how long a developer can build "against" the new package.

No one said that either.

and you've never seen the error message in the terminal before?
I don't have it at hand right now...

Why don't you do that in MX17? ;)

First of all, these are the "inconsistencies" of 1.10 ! The gurus have already stumbled over this. 1.10 punishes immediately "errors" of the configuration from 1.9
But the screen says for me, that lua5.3 is not installed ?

Not for nothing has Sector11 developed the pkill command for this purpose ;)

I confess, with 1.9, I didn't even try it.
I cleaned up the code and adapted it to my MX system and then converted it to 1.10.

Because I'm currently booted into Manjaro to install updates. :p

I think the terminal error message shows that lua53 is installed but the cairo modules can't be found.

Also, here is a screenshot from the package manager of manjaro to show it's installed (note that lua52 is also installed):

To clarify, you successfully ran the original clock conky under conky-legacy (version 1.9) in MX, then you just converted the syntax of the clock config file to 1.10 but you didn't try running the converted file on a system that runs conky 1.10?

tested
grimy_wall in version1.9 also runs in MX17 and here you can also see the error message I meant in the terminal

I also used the conky packages of the Distri in arch-linux for a long time and had no success.
Only when I understood to use the packages from AUR instead, the long awaited success was there. :hug:

is ABOVE in many configurations and can also be seen in my screenshots.

No, I"m not talking about the usual error message about converting from old syntax. I didn't get that error message because I was using YOUR (not the original) clock config file which you had already converted to new syntax in your earlier post.

I was talking about this error:
