FYI: I'm using an ATI Radeon R7 260X graphics card. I'm running a custom built kernel v 4.14.48.
EDIT: So it appears the fix was to install dbus-user-session.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install dbus-user-session

Is it resizing the window to fit in an output that can be different character lengths? If so I had the same issue solved by including a sufficiently wide

conky.config
section for mine which is blink free - it might help identify other possible causes..Code: Select all

Thanks for posting your conky.config section. I failed to say this earlier, but I used the automatic converter to convert my old .conkyrc to the new format for v1.10. When I diffed yours side-by-side to mine, I found that mine still had colours defined with # proceeding them and there were a few extra separators (comas) here and there. removing the # and the extra comas seems to have fixed it. I'm still testing, but I have diffed 4 sets of large repos, ran 2 kernel builds simultaneously, and 6 android rom builds and conky still hasn't frozen up. I ran conky in terminal so I could monitor it and it seems it was crashing when it tried to refresh. it has refresh several times without issue... I will continue testing for a little longer and mark this thread as solved accordingly.smurphos wrote: ⤴Wed Jul 18, 2018 3:33 am No worries...this is theconky.config

In my research to my conundrum, I invoked a horrible screen flicker as well. Luckily, I made a backup copy before I started messing with things and found a fix for the flicker by changing:
Code: Select all
double_buffer = false,

double_buffer = true,
That worked entirely.. that setting was missing for me so I typed it in manually. Thanks!In my research to my conundrum, I invoked a horrible screen flicker as well. Luckily, I made a backup copy before I started messing with things and found a fix for the flicker by changing:toCode: Select all
