 Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 6:31 pm Post subject: Conky mem reporting acts weird |
 |
|
I have recently replaced my torsmo with conky, but have an annoying problem with it, which i have googled, googled then googled a bit for a solution to.
When i start conky it shows my memusage correct (also memmax & swap is correct).
First refresh (after 5 sec) does not break anything.
Second refresh (after another 5 secs) comes along and conky will no longer report any memory related info.
I have tried to change the refresh rate and it seems that conky looses touch with memory after about 5-10 seconds.
If anyone could suggest where to look for a solution, i would be very grateful.
(edit: conky-1.4.0-r1)
