 |
|
hello,
is there a way to stop conky before hibernation and to start it after resuming?
the script by which i start conky is named "conkystart" and is the following:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc1
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc2
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc3
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc4 |
i put:
| Code: | OnSuspend 00 killall conky
OnResume 00 conkystart |
in /etc/hibernate/ram.conf (i only use hibernate-ram), but when resuming i get:
| Code: | Conky: can't open display:
Conky: can't open display:
Conky: can't open display:
Conky: can't open display: |
what can i do?

| It seems conky probably starts before the X server is initialized. So, you could try adding a sleep 20 after /bin/bash, so that the conky is started only after the X server resumes. |

or perhaps you merely need a DISPLAY var:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc1
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc2
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc3
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc4 |

now conkystart looks like this:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=":0.0"
sleep 20
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc1
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc2
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc3
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc4 |

i fixed by putting:
| Code: | | export DISPLAY=":0.0" |
anyway, there is another problem: i usually launch hibernation from an xterm, but in that way after resuming if i close the xterm conky is closed, too.
is there a way to avoid this? |

should do it (close your term without ending conky
BTW To avoid exportint the DISPLAY, I think writing DISPLAY=:0.0 conky -c ... (onevery line) should work.. |

thanks truc! now it works!
now in ram.conf i have:
| Code: | | OnResume 00 DISPLAY=:0.0 nohup conkystart &> /dev/null & |
while conkystart looks like:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc1
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc2
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc3
conky -c /home/fctk/.conkyrc4 |
