[Bug 42467] Re: [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers
The workaround in Kubuntu 7.04 (adding dbe) works but this also hides your desktop icons. A better solution is needed. using the workaround above and also adding these to the conky configuration file seems to at least solved the flickering for me. own_window yes own_window_type desktop -- [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 42467] Re: [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers
I can vouch for the issue on Feisty (7.04), base install. The workaround takes care of it, although I haven't found a way for conky to peacefully coexist with Nautilus desktop icons. The conky faq (http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html) complains that Ubuntu developers are inattentive, and the conky packages distributed with Ubuntu are old... however, the version shipped with Feisty is the same as the version currently listed on the site (1.4.5). -- [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 42467] Re: [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers
I would assume this bug's status should be In Progress since we know what causes the problem (not including the dbe module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by default), and adding the module manually solves the problem in all known cases. Now all that is needed is for someone to decide what happens next (I'm not the one to do any of these things listed below, and I don't know who that person is): 1.the conky man page needs to be updated with information on manually adding this module to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2.the conky install does this automatically 3.someone with xorg decides that this module should be added automatically during their initial configuration. ** Changed in: conky (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = In Progress -- [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/42467 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What if you add this line to Xorg.conf: # Load dbe #Uncomment this line if conky is flickering This would help people locate the workaround easier (it's a little hidden in Google) as well as solve possible incompatibility problems. -- [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/42467 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm this problem, as well as the posted workaround. Seems the most intuitive solution would just be to have Xdbe loaded by default in xorg.conf, though I guess that'd be under the control of a different team.. -- [Dapper LiveCD Beta2] conky flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/42467 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
