Ubuntu :: Conky Broken - Missing Text Block In Configuration
Jun 10, 2010
It seems that Conky is broken, if I try to do anything with it(even after complete removal and reinstallation) I get this output.
Code:
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 don't know what to do?
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?
I am trying to find sed command combination to print out the "start command" line, the id line and all lines between "details" and "stop command" only if "error" exists. Here's the original output (test.txt):
I have my conky set up so it displays fortune, then I run a script to add enough spaces so that even if fortune is any amount of lines long, it will take up exactly 17 lines, and after that, it displays the time. The problem I have is that a lot of the time, the fortune will display fine, but the time will only display what default_shade_color is (black).
Code:
# UBUNTU-CONKY # A comprehensive conky script, configured for use on # Ubuntu / Debian Gnome, without the need for any external scripts.
[code]....
is there a built-in linux script that does what mine does? and why is conky only drawing the fortune in the right colors? PS the reason I want it all on one conky, is I'm running openbox and the right-click menu only works for stuff drawn to the root screen.
edit: When I don't use the script the colors work just fine, but the spacing's off, obviously. sceenshot-1 shows it.
i have the following text in a file located in /home/anoopm101/.task [description:"this is the text" entry:"1306682734" status:"pending" uuid:"25c54e1b-824f-52bc-4933-dfe7cda34bc7"]
i have to display on my desktop "this is the text" using conky.
I use the awesome todo.txt cli tool for my todo list. I want to find a way to display this on my desktop, and have it update every time I update the file. Is there an easy way to do this? Does conky do stuff like this?
Doing some research I found that in conky 1.8.1 there is support for nvidia using libxnvctrl. I am trying to compile it but I am missing libxnvctrl. Does any body know where I can get it?
I have a clump of text that needs to be broke up:gdbm Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:18 AM EST libattr Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:18 AM EST db4 Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:19 AM EST mktemp Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:19 AM EST keyutils Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:20 AM EST pcre Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:21 AM EST setserial Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:24 AM EST zlib Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:24 AM EST gawk Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:25 AM EST readline Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:26 AM EST rhpl Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:28 AM EST cracklib-dicts Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:37 AM EST setools Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:37 AM EST hal Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:38 AM EST which Sat 07 Feb 2009 03:28:39 AM EST Is there a way to get everything after the EDT in the text to be moved to a new line?
I have 4 NTFS partitions and I want the info regarding those partition to be displayed as a whole. I'we mounted all my NTFS in /mnt but it doesn't works to refer only to the folder where the partitions are mounted and you have to refer to them individually, so i cant display them as a whole. Also if anybody knows if conky supports mathematical functions or if he knows a tutorial about that it would be great 'cause if so I could make it caluclate the free and used space that should be displayed regarding those NTFS partitions of mine.
have only been using it for a couple weeks now. i installed Picasa from google just now and since then my desktop icons have disapeared and if i open the file manager it closes within 5 seconds. i have tried rebooting the computer and have now completly removed picasa and the problem is still there.
In add/remove software: - No packages appear - Sources pane is blank
Trying "yum update": Gives the following error.
Code:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: libssl.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is:
Additional info: Last update in log is from march 11. But has nothing to do with yum, ssl or python.
I'm unable to set a default text editor since upgrading to 11.4. Configure Desktop > Default Applications > Text Editor. Only has one option - Embeded Advanced Text Editor It's something named Mousepad 2.16. I wish to use Kate or Gedit instead!
I was running Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP G70 laptop and did an upgrade using upgrade manager to Ubuntu 10.04.
Since I haven't been able to get wifi connection or wired working. The Network Manager applet is missing from the notification area and if I try to run nm-applet manually it says it is already running. I tried killing the process and then running it manually in the terminal and although the process appears to be running it is missing from the panel.
Booting into the live cd has the applet working fine so something in the upgrade process must have failed.
I tried changing the theme to see if it displays in other themes but had no luck.
I also tried to log into kde but kde seems to be broken. When I log into it after the splash screen all I get is a black screen with only my mouse pointer.
I'm trying to install a BCM 4312 wireless driver following the Centos howto. Howtos>Laptops>Witeless>Broadcom
On step 3, compiling ... module.I get No rule to make target `build' Stop.When I go to the /lib/modules/2.6.18.194.3.1.el5 directory, the Build file link is broken.If i go to the link source /usr/src/kernels/2.6 ...x86_64 does not exist. The /kernels folder is empty.I think I need to reinstall the identified kernel in that directory and reestablish a link to it. but am not savy enough to do that on my own.
when I have a broken packages on the system and want to apt-get install something (completely unrelated to the broken package) apt-get starts giving me crap about the broken stuff and won't download and install the packages I'm asking for. How can I make it ignore the completely unrelated stuff about missing deps on my system and download what I want?
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 am having problems while testing out squid proxy server. I just can't get it block anything. So, I'm running Debian lenny on my Virtualbox and Squid on it. I'm having windows 7 on virtualbox too and they can ping each other and the webserver on debian (apache2) is working fine. The problem is i can't get squid to block webpages. I have the correct settings on windows proxy settings, but i'm not so sure about squid. I want to block lets say www . xxx. com for example. So I add to the main configuration file:
Good day, having a spot of bother with Openoffice, for some unknown reason im finding majority of the menu & button names have been replaced with "O" characters instead. Its doesn't effect all, but for example in the Writer, the only drop down menu at the top being render correctly is "Table". code... All the buttons/sub buttons still work if you can guess where their pointing!
The only way I can seem to solve it is to remove "openoffice.org-gnome" & "openoffice.org-gtk" package.
Ive tried a complete reinstall already. Its usable without the above gnome and gtk extras but obviously not as nice to look at.
Im sure it was working fine the last time I used it?
I'm finding that some applications (2 thus far) are not properly displaying text. I first noticed it in Firefox, where it appears that NO text is being rendered because the search and "feeling lucky" buttons are both about 1.5 characters wide and blank inside. I'll include screen-caps below to exemplify what I mean. In addition to Firefox, I just tonight noticed that my PDF reader is apparently rendering all text in white (even though the same PDF opens up fine with black text on my Windows desktop computer). For the PDF's, I can see that there is text there because I can do a Ctrl+A and copy, and then when I paste it into gedit I can see all the text.
Some background: I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit w/gnome. The first thing I did after installing Ubuntu was to install the BlackBuntu theme by copying appropriate files from /usr/share/ from the BlackBuntu live USB.
What I've tried: I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox a couple of times, but ultimately I just installed Chromium which is working fine and is not experiencing the same issue that Firefox is. I've tried changing my theme back to default, changing all the fonts (under Appearance Preferences), and nothing is fixing this. I'm about to just do a full reinstall of the OS, paying careful attention to at exactly what point in my process everything gets screwed up, but I'm hoping that someone has an idea that I can try before I have to reinstall the system.
I have an ASUS P5Q PRO motherboard with an integrated Atheros AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.I installed Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" 64bit Kernel version 2.6.32.21 I have read that the driver isn't in the kernel, but there's a strange thing :
First if I try to run lspci from command line it doesn't reports Atheros Ethernet Controller.
Second If I try to run lshw -C network from command line it doesn't reports Atheros Ethernet Controller.
Third if I run ifconfig it only returns my loopback address.
Can I suppose that my Ethernet Intel Gigabit Controller is broken or that Atheros driver is missing?
My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.
This script is the result.
I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:
Normally wine works well for me but I'm having trouble with one particular Windows app called Communicator, a voip softphone. The app starts up and the window is put on the screen but there is no text. Check boxes are drawn and filled and input boxes are shown, but still no text. All my system fonts are installed for wine to work. Here is the output if I run from the command line:

I'm suspicious about the line above: err:module:import_dll Library QtSvg4.dll but I'm not sure what to do because the file DOES exist in the referenced directory.
The problem I have is so simple yet difficult for me to resolve. My Postfix MTA allow fake mails from me@example.com to me@example.com. How can I block them?
For example, if I do "telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.it 25", as I write the MAIL FROM command I get the alert "Authentication required". How can I achieve that?
