which is what I always get, when starting explicitly from terminal - except from the last line.
I run Gnome and conky worked well before (no change of config or settings). Installed version is:extra/conky 1.22.0-1 [installiert] ; updated according to /var/log/pacman.log:
I will have a look and read through it. But this is from 2021. As conky did work under Wayland for a long time and just stopped working just after last update … ok, I will see.
also try updating conky again
sudo pacman -Syu conky
Hm. As conky was working well under Wayland I do not want to go back to X11 because of only 1 small tool. I really like conky, but there are other tools (Gnome has a lot of extensions) that will do the job. So, will wait if something changes with further updates (conky is still installed ).
solved the issue by accident:
because I run Gnome under Wayland there is an entry out_to_wayland = true, at the beginning of my .conkyrc.
Now I have removed/commented out that line … and conky starts again
To be clear, I am still running Gnome/Wayland (as I did - even before conky stopped working; BTW still not autostarting).
