Iām seeing some āweirdnessā going on with updates and the number my conky displays right now too. Doing yay
and UpdateAllPackages
is coming back with nothing to do, but the conky shows a number. I was going to give it sometime and check again in an hour or so. I was thinking it might have to do with the server migration.
Possible, but I have been seeing it since I installed earlier this week, it is (I think) always doubleā¦
Ok, sounds different then. Mine is showing a ton of updates are available, but when I check in the terminal it doesnāt do anything. Iāll poke around a little more and see what I might have done. When you type checkupdates
in the terminal how many does it show you?
Nil at the moment, but will test when I get some.
Weird. Mine seems to be a different issue for sure. Something decided to downgrade a lot of stuff (81 things) after doing two updates to grub tools and one update to downgrade. They show up in checkupdates
but I canāt seem to get them to update, not via terminal or manually in pamac.
Very weird. My conky shows 9, and:

It must have been a mirror thing. My conky and checkupdates
always lined up (probably because the conky is based on that cmd, but still), just when I tried to actually pull the updates it wouldnāt do it, no matter what I tried. I did it just a few minutes ago and it pulled everything though and now conky and checkupdates
both show 0. Sorry to hijack this thread @xircon. Please let us know what you see when you test again.
I had this issue after installing earlier this week as well. It seems the built in update notifier would always have ~2 extra updates than what was listed with yay
Those who have this issue, could you show the output of:
grep "^\[.*\]$" /etc/pacman.conf
Also, how does eos-update-notifier work if you change configuration at /etc/eos-update-notifier.conf as:
ShowHowAboutUpdates=window ShowWhatAboutUpdates=packages
It is easy to test with commands:
sudo pacman -S --needed downgrade downgrade "a-package-name" # choose a package here, e.g. geany eos-update-notifier
[options]
[core]
[extra]
[community]
[multilib]
[endeavouros]
[herecura]
[archlinuxcn]
[repo-ck]
Changed config file:
Says 5 there are 3 (I downgraded deadbeef).

python-psutil 5.7.0-1 -> 5.7.1-1 344.24 KiB
Thanks!
Now I see the problem, it simply gives an incorrect number. Reduce 2 and it should be OK.
Iāll fix it as soon as possible.
OK, new version 1.7.6-1 of eos-update-notifier should fix this.
I guess it was also counting the two header lines,
Name Current -> New DownloadSize
---- ------- -- --- ------------
Yes, and that was caused by a recent update a couple days ago, where I didnāt notice the wrong number that the header lines caused.
Thanks for finding that gotcha! I am doing up a conky script that might well have picked up that counting quirkā¦
That means 3 versions now for the stuff from pacman-contrib - checkupdates, checkupdatesext, and checkupd (modded by me to keep the [ignored] pkgs in the listā¦
Actually checkupdatesext is not from pacman-contrib, but from eos-update-notifier.
I couldnāt leave the code alone either I like the extra info, and am trying to figure out how to trigger a scrolling conky window only when updates existā¦
You have my attentionā¦
I have a setup whereby I can scroll, or even smooth scroll, the output from checkupdates. Just trying to decide what will trigger it - perhaps when more than 2 updates are pending? Or 5? No point having an empty window when there arenāt any items to show. Keep an eye on āShow Your Desktopā - Iāll post it there when I get it going the way I wantā¦
