Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: conky
Source package: 1.5.1-1
1) Release via lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
2) Version via 'apt-cache policy conky':
Installed: 1.5.1-1
Candidate: 1.5.1-1
Version table:
*** 1.5.1-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) Expected
To run conky with no reported terminal errors
4) What happened instead
conky started with the following terminal errors:
"Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port
6600 : Connection refused" in a continuous loop
4.1) Solution:
(Thanks to kaivalagi in the Hardy development forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=746445)
The MPD (Music Player Daemon) needs to be installed with conky. There is
no dependency of MPD listed in apt-manager.
I removed all references to MPD in the .conkyrc as supplied in the Hardy
distro, but the errors persisted. Installation of MPD solved the
problem. This points to a solution of adding an MPD dependency to the
conky distro package for Hardy.
I think that not having the mpd daemon reduces the functionality of
conky (?).
