Conky missplace in plasma wayland

Lycan · 22 February 2025 10:03

Hello
Since a week ago I am having issues with conky rendering in the wrong screen.

I have changed nothing and I have had this exact scripts running for at least 6 years now. I wonder if somebody else has the same issue? If this is the case, were you able to fix it?

If no one else has this problem then it is obviously I did something wrong, but before rolling back a week I want to check if this is really an issue.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I can correctly place the widgets using conky manager, by disabling enabling them, no change in the configuration.

Can you show your script?

Conky dual screen positioning | AskUbuntu

You can completely disable conky’s alignment by setting alignment = none and put absolute gap_x and gap_y values. This will allow widget positioning at any place without weird negative shifting.

As an example: to put a 200px wide widget in the right top corner of the right monitor, calculation will be simple:
gap_x = <left_monitor_width> + <right_monitor_width> - <widget_width>
In my case:
gap_x = 1680 + 1680 - 200 = 3160
and the config will look next:
conky.config = {
    ...
    alignment = none,
    gap_x = 3160,
    gap_y = 0,
    ...
}

Thanks, I have tried this but eventually it gets misplaced again. The best I can do right now is using conky manager and disabling reenabling the widgets, That will temporarily place them in the correct position.
