This application is affected by the rgb.txt path change bug. The Path of rgb.txt has change from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt to /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt in Xorg 7. Please update the application to reflect this change as it cause problems with this application. Note: conky runs but is unable to determine colors correct colors causing everything to view in pink.
This really hasn't got anything to do with Conky. Conky simply calls the XParseColor() function which is part of libX11. Please correct me if I am wrong (though I'm fairly sure I am right about this, I even checked the code first to confirm my hypothesis).
Brenden - your right. Caleb - see bug 130003 and there is a discussion starting on gentoo-dev email list (yesterday) with topic '[gentoo-dev] xorg-x11 and local (RgbPath) rgb.txt database files [informal survey]'
I kinda requested that something go out about this, but I was told in another bug posting to list, this problem for the individual ebuilds, by one of the mods or whatever they're called on bugzilla. I'm not sure the exact problem. all I know is placing a file or a symlint to the file at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt fixes it.
I think the problem would be with x11-apps/rgb then, would it not?
(In reply to comment #4) > I think the problem would be with x11-apps/rgb then, would it not? > possibly however Here's a general bug I tried to file and the moderator got mad at me http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129746 I really don't know much more... just the symptoms. He says you guys should be fixing your ebuilds. I made the suggestion of a symlink, and was really trying to get all of the bugs filed under one bug. I don't know who should be fixing what, or how they would do it.
seems I missed something before filing this bugs... I had not updated the path in my xorg.conf # The location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb" I didn't actually realise this was in there. Apologies for missing it. note: it was the old path. changing it allowed me to remove rgb.txt from the old location.
