OpenSUSE :: Install Conky With Both Cairo And Imlib2 In Lua Bingdings?
Aug 7, 2010
I try any way to install conky and my conky -v here. I can't run more conky settings because i don't know add imlib2 in lua bingdings????. How do it??? (I'm a newbie and my english is bad >"<)Conky 1.8.0 compiled Sat Aug 7 19:09:49 ICT 2010 for Linux 2.6.34-12-default (i686)Compiled in features:System config file: /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.conf
Package library path: /usr/local/lib/conky
I have some problems installing conky. I need cairo working with conky and itt's not, if I install conky via rpm. So I tried to compile conky from source with:
Code: ./configure --enable-lua-cairo
ant that fails, because it requires tolua++. So I tried to compile tolua++ (uses scons), but that doesn't work:
Code: scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: warning: The Options class is deprecated; use the Variables class instead. File "/home/jaa/Documents/obrzky/Plasmoidy/conky stuf/tolua++-1.0.93/SConstruct", line 19, in <module>
im having problems running this conky script, i've done what the author said which is copy the files to the home directory, now when i run the files i get the error below, i have checked to see if i have the cairo engine installed and it's installed fine, i am not sure where the problem stands.
I compiled it from source, i installed it via slackbuild but it didn't work. When i go imlib-config --version it shows me the old one, and when i try to install giblib it tells me that imlib2 is not installed. I watched the output from the installing of imlib2 and i realized something's wrong: there are several suspicious warnings :
Currently I am installing Cairo 1.6.4. I have followed the instructions mentioned in [URL]. When I try to install using "make install" I am getting the following error,
Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/rrdbuild/cairo-1.6.4/src' make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/rrdbuild/cairo-1.6.4/src' test -z "/usr/local/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib"
I have a problem with conky. It draws a black background instead of using pseudo-transparency. I ofc tried to achieve this with feh but to no avail. All the instructions here failed: Conky Hardcore! Conky transparency with KDE (3 and 4)
I'm building my slackware system from a minimal set of packages. I've got X and fluxbox up and running, and I'm trying to "slack-build" feh which depends on imlib2 to set background wallpapers. The problem is trying to "feh" any image gives the error message:
Code: feh WARNING: wall2.jpg - No Imlib2 loader for that file format feh - No loadable images specified.
Today I was using Gchempaint (part of Gnome Chemistry Tools) and found that the F12 version fails miserably to correctly export H to xyz. So I decided to install the latest version I found (0.11). There are, however, some problems I must sort out during compilation.
Apparently it does not see my 'cairo' installation and so I get the following error message:
Code:
checking for cairo... configure: error: Package requirements (cairo >= 1.6.0) were not met: No package 'cairo' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.Alternatively, you may set the environment variables cairo_CFLAGS and cairo_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Said that all the config i find put all the info in one place of the screen, in this example on the right side:
url
or like conky colors where you can put in either side, or other complex examples that use folders with images..that at least i need one day to study all the variables it has...
What i want is something simple, in my black background i dont want images and effects, only white simple text.
My problem is: i want for instance my specs above, my log info in the middle, my music info bellow (above my clock) and in conky config i'm hitting my head in the wall....
For instance if i use my facebook script to appear in the midle how the hell can i put my music info bellow without ruined the facebook in the midle...do i need 2 conky configs?
I recently upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3. I had to manually install nVidia drivers to get the desktop working correctly (compiz was enabled), now the system runs fine except for cairo-dock which doesn't start on KDE boot.Running it from console and choosing Yes when asked for using OpenGL, it returns an error
djechelon@MONSTR:~> cairo-dock ============================================================================ Cairo-Dock version: 2.1.3-7 Compiled date: Mar 18 2010 20:45:24 Running with OpenGL: 1 ============================================================================
cairo-dock: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: GTK_WIDGET_NO_WINDOW
After upgrade to 11.3 I performed a full distro upgrade via YaST by updating all the packages if a newer version was available, so I'm using the latest version of all the packages on my system. I searched with YaST for the package containing that libgtkglext and forced its upgrade in order to reinstall it. No fix.Here is my repository list
I am loving kde 4.5 so far... and I started using activities which I am getting to like it. I use cairo dock too. So, is there any way to configure cairo dock to only show applications from one activity? I know I can configure it to show applications from one desktop but id like that from each activity too. Does it make any sense?
I've set cairo-dock to start but also kde somehow caches the desktop state while shutting down. Can I avoid cairo-dock to be cached at shutdown in kde?
Trying to build git gimp raises an error about missing libcairo.la and libfreetype.la /usr/lib/ does not have those files though the build manifest shows they should be included. Both cairo-devel and freetype2-devel have been installed, rpm query produces; cairo-devel-1.10.2-6.11.1.i586 and freetype2-devel-2.4.4-6.1.i586 This is my first attempt at using SUSE, so it maybe I am missing something elementary
I installed Cairo Dock for ubuntu 9.10 and I downloaded the plugins and extracted them to a folder. How do you install the plugins? I downloaded cairo-dock-plugins-2.1.3-2.tar.gz. When the download finished, I opened the folder and it requested I extract them, which I did. But I don't know how to use them.
I'm following this this tutorial, and everything goes perfectly fine up until the "Installez dependences (change XXXX)" part. The name of the file is cairo-dock-2.0.8.2-1.fc12.src.rpm, and I swear I'm typing it in right, and I'm CDed in the proper directory. However, when I try to do that step, I get this output:Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekitwarning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 16ca1a56Error: Could not open cairo-dock-2.0.8.2-1.fc12.src.rpmThere was a problem getting the build deps, exiting: Could not open local rpm file: cairo-dock-2.0.8.2-1.fc12.src.rpm: RPM Error opening Package
I am using cairo-dock, I want to add openoffice writer to the dock. Where do I find the icon for this? What is the equivalent of windows 'program files' in openSUSE. I'm thinking if I can find its directory, I can find its icon.
so in an effort to install skype and enable my webcam, I installed a lot of packages and libraries, but after restarting my computer, cairo dock uses old graphics, and two of my plasmoids won't function. I think what happened is that I installed 32 bit packages when my computer is 64 bit; regardless, I think the best method is to restore my system to a couple of days ago.. but I've searched everywhere and I haven't gotten anything...
It just hit me that I'd minimized a bunch of windows....and they were nowhere to be found. Alt-Tab allows me to scroll through them, but even though I've uninstalled cairo-dock now, I still can't get them to minimize to the bottom bar. It is as if I've nothing open.
Cairo was working fine for me then randomly I see a huge black box behind it. I also cannot access my desktop effects along with it to activate compiz. I googled here and on the net trying different commands such as
:~> xgl-switch --enable-xgl If 'xgl-switch' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf xgl-switch
Since I could not find the cairo dock package on packman for openSUSE 11.3, I decided to build the package from source. I ran the configure script first and then gave a build using make. I get undefined reference errors for the following symbols while linking.
when I type "conky" in terminal it returns with Conky: invalid configuration file '/home/user/.conkyrc' Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** : This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context being NULL. Please fix your program. I've tried completely uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, still same error?
conky require the Double Buffer Extension (DBE) to refresh correctly the screen, in older versions I can add the Load "dbe" in the Module section, but how can I do it with no xorg.conf file? VampirD Microsoft Windows is like air conditioning Stops working when you open a window.

I installed the 2.6.35-23-generic kernel yesterday and now conky doesn't run because there is a folder that is now missing. Conky runs at startup and when entering this in terminal: conky -c /home/cavsfan/.conkyrc
I get this error Code: Conky: can't open '/sys/bus/platform/devices/coretemp.2/temp1_input': No such file or directory please check your device or remove this var from Conky ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** : This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context being NULL. Please fix your program. And sure enough folder coretemp.2 is missing:
Code: cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ cd /sys/bus/platform/devices/ cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:/sys/bus/platform/devices$ ls coretemp.0 coretemp.3 Fixed MDIO bus.0 pcspkr coretemp.1 f71882fg.2560 i8042 serial8250 cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:/sys/bus/platform/devices$
How to get /sys/bus/platform/devices/coretemp.2/temp1_input back? The whole folder is missing and I have tried uninstalling lm-sensors, hddtemp without success. I do not understand why the folder would be missing after an update.
I'm getting very frustrated and confused with conky-colors. I was reading OMGubuntu, and saw that Conky Colors 7 had been release and it looked pretty [URL]pt to install it from that page, but got hopelessly confused. I would really just like some step by step, noob friendly instructions. I managed to do these first two steps though:"$sudo apt-get install aptitude python-keyring python-statgrab ttf-ubuntu-font-family hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all $sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp"
I'm trying to install conky on my Slackware. I've downloaded the files from slackbuilds.org (both conky and lua). I've compiled and installed lua writing "make linux" and "sudo make install", but when I'm trying to compile conky, it says:
Code: No package 'lua5.1' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
Recently I succesfully installed conky. I managed to get a lot of things work with more or less effort but I can't make conky to display any image.Images path and permissions had been checked. Imlib2 support too but conky won't display a thing.
