What's the problem with downloading Conky?

Hi,
Every time I try to download Conky, the download fails and this error appears, even when my internet connection is at its best.
Is there another way to download it?

why do you type n instead of hitting the enter key after the line that reads none,all …etc?

yes you can download it manually, rwhat keescase is trying to say is that all the information is in the pkgbuild, including where the package tries to download the files from.

Which is important to always check because these are user created and they may try to download packages from dubious sources sometimes.

Download link if possible

Manually remove the ~/.cache/yay/conky-manager2 directory and give it another try.

PS: Also this isn’t conky, but some manager for conky.

The link is for the github site and you would have to build it yourself.

What you also can do to be on the safe side is type yay conky , and you will be given a list of options , again to be at the safe side install the one that is in extra.

Gives an error

Has anyone encountered this error?
Can someone please upload the latest package from their device?
The latest package, as I recall, is conky-manager2-git.
I would appreciate it if someone could upload it for me.

[keesk@kees-b650gamingxaxv2 ~]$ yay conky-manager

The way I see it you are trying a fork of the git version of the package, so the latest probably is 2.7.1 (see above). I could instaal this one. So if you type 2 after packages to install (and next hit the enter key a couple of times next) you can install that one.

Try clearing the yay cache for the package and re-download:

yay -Scc

and then

yay conky-manager2

if that doesnt work try

git clone https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2.git
cd conky-manager2
makepkg -si

or

Manually Fix Corrupted Git Cache

If the cache is corrupted, delete it manually:

rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/conky-manager2
yay -S conky-manager2

Here you go, but at end the end of the day it’s probably better to figure out the root issue on your end.

Version 2.72 has been installed, but the problem is that after logging in or restarting, two applications appear on the desktop: conky and conky-manager2.
What is the problem?

It has been said before , read the stuff after the PS:

Installed and I am not having a problem with that
I just want to stop conky and I just want conky manager to work

If you are sure that you just selected one conky config in the conky-manager GUI, then check folder ~/.config/conky/ . In case there there is a conky.conf, that is the source for your second conky. Remove or rename it to get rid.
