Description Lokesh Mandvekar 2018-02-21 22:53:37 UTC
Description of problem:

I use conky to display info in my tiling window manager's own display bar.

My current conky.conf is:

conky.config = {
    out_to_x = false,
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,
    use_xft = false,
    font = 'Fixed:size=10',
    net_avg_samples = 2,
    no_buffers = true,
    out_to_console = true,
    out_to_stderr = false,
    own_window = false,
    own_window_class = 'Conky',
    own_window_type = 'override',
    update_interval = 1.0,
    uppercase = false,
    use_spacer = 'none',
}


This used to work just fine on 1.10.6-1.fc26.

But ever since the bump to 1.10.7-1, it will no longer display anything. Now, in the above config if I change:

out_to_x = true,
own_window_type = desktop #(or dock or panel)

it will display as expected in the display bar BUT with the additional sticky panel/dock or its own independent window which I don't desire.

Seems like out_to_x = false will simply ignore what out_to_console says since the bump to 1.10.7.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.10.7-1


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. use config file on 1.10.6
2. bump to 1.10.7
3. enjoy
