Still get Segmentation error;

Code: Select all

 ~ $ conky -c ~/.config/conky/conky.conf
Segmentation fault

Could someone please help me out, it's not a critical issue but it nags at me because i haven't the faintest why or where to begin troubleshooting and the default example in /etc/conky/conky.conf works just fine.

When a program gives you a segmentation fault it can be helpful to run it with strace (install it if needed). strace dumps the system calls the program makes to your terminal. Especially the few lines just before the segmentation fault can shed some light on what is happening. Try with:

Code: Select all

strace conky -c ~/.config/conky/conky.conf

Thanks a lot, the strace tip is a handy one to keep in mind, but i plodded my way into making this work by first getting rid of the following;

Code: Select all

hddtemp_host
hddtemp_port
lua_load ~/scripts/clock.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_clock

After it worked, i tried putting the lua.clock back in and it still worked! Except for $distribution, $memwithbuffers and $memwithbuffersbar everything works just fine, even hddtemp.

Oh, and systemd is a treat, it's a lot faster, my boot time has halved despite the "a start job is running for udev Wait for Complete device initialization" slowing it down somewhat.
