Conky Manager stopped working

[heil_perun]

Hi, with the latest update of Manjaro KDE (stable branch) my conky manager widget disappeared.
I decided to try copy the theme from /.conky/theme folder to /.config/conky
but it seems conky config file uses different “indentation?” than conky manager.

This is my conky manager theme file. I made it by trial and error by looking at the other themes.

I copied it into the /.config/conky/conky.conf but it wouldn’t work so I looked up the github page conky config file and tried to fix it. This is the result.

Could someone help I don’t know how to make my theme file for conky.
I could just wait for the conky manager fix, but I don’t know when that will happen so…

Conky not starting after Lua 5.4 update - ('.')(",)

I had an issue - after the update - with conky not starting. Not sure if anyone else is having the problem. Basically it’s because my scripts are OLD. So I worked out that with conky 1.11.6_pre it generally tries to do this job on the fly, but obviously failed. So the solution - make a file in your .local/bin called ‘convert.lua’. (This should be in your $PATH - you can check using echo $PATH) Paste this:

Summary

#! /usr/bin/lua local usage = [[ Usage: convert.lua old_conkyrc [new_conkyrc]…

[heil_perun]

I was able to convert the theme file, but for some reason the theme disappeared from conky manager theme list. And when I copy the theme in /.config/conky and run conky, the theme is jumbled up.

But I was able to workaround it by running conky manager with the old theme file so it can see it, and then switching the old file with the new theme file.
