Conky showing pop up alert every time

[jh1234567890]

I use Kubuntu Plasma 14.04 Trusty kernel 3.13.0.161

I think Conky ( version 1.9 ) not execute commands line type " ${if_match ${hwmon 1 fan 1} < 1000} " and this activate zenity or kdialog pop up every time.

How solved this problem ?

Duplicate #334. \o/

Hi, I solved it yesterday night.

I executed these commands in root terminal:

chown root:root /usr/bin/conky

chmod +s /usr/bin/conky

Now conky is fine after boot, thanks !!!

Interesting. We will have to try that someday. I guess I will close this now. Thanks. :-)

Hi, the problem return before update kernel system.

I solved it after remove " conky all " and install " conky ci " and remove again and reinstall again " conky all " ... uufff !!!

Is very hard ...

Please develloper, fix this bug !!!

Thanks !!!

Hello everybody ...

I return this question because the problem back some time when update the old Kubuntu 14.04 trusty but it solve itself after reboot.the system.

Thanks all.

The issue hadn't been worked on. My suggestion is to use notify-send instead of zenity so you don't have to click anything at every popup. I also don't know how conky behaves when zenity does not finish its operation (ie leaving a dialog open for some time).

EDIT: The documentation says all object gets created and destroyed at every interval.
