Bug 278118 – app-admin/conky-1.7.1.1 conky -d hangs when using $acpitemp

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philip L 2009-07-17 06:25:56 UTC]

Running conky with the -d (daemonize) option causes conky to hang without displaying anything, after which it must be killed with SIGKILL. The console output is normal:

Conky: forked to background, pid is 10661
Conky: desktop window (106) is root window
Conky: drawing to desktop window
Conky: drawing to double buffer

Running with own_window set to 'yes' causes a tiny, empty window to appear.

Reproducible: Always

What happens when you run Conky without forking it?  If it crashes, can you provide a backtrace?

[Comment 2 Philip L 2009-07-28 22:23:08 UTC]

Sorry, I should have tested it more thoroughly before - it only hangs when using the -d option and if the $acpitemp function is used. It works fine without the -d option.

I tried attaching gdb to the process after it froze, and this is the backtrace:

Try disabling the openmp use flag for Conky.

That fixes it.

Fixed in >=conky-1.7.1.1-r2 by disabling the openmp flag (Upstream rcommendation).
