Tips: Due to upstream updates, the original require 'cairo' in the lua script needs to add

require 'cairo'
require 'cairo_xlib'

See the previous issue

require BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=ON

v1.21.3 is kinda working with require 'cairo_xlib' and the BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=ON build option for me. I only have a problem where some rings i made with a lua script doesnt show the correct color.

The latest build [1.21.3] is not working for me - the display is there but the size and position are out So I am leaving it as is.

This package (v1.21.2), doesn't work with my lua scripts that were previously working fine.

Even with require 'cairo' and require 'cairo_xlib' AND the BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=ON build option, i can't get lua graphics to display.

There's also a problem with the PKGBUILD file in this 1.21.2-1 version, in that the depends=( block for non-nvidia seems to have been removed. That's easy enough to fix manually, though.

I downloaded the 1.20.2 source from upstream and that works flawlessly for me. The 1.19.7 and 1.19.8 versions kept pegging my CPU at 100% any time the window manager gave conky an expose event.

SO if anyone else is having problems, i recommend the 1.20.2 version.

After entering require 'cairo_xlib' in the *.lua file, there are no more errors and graphics are displayed again. However, the entire Conky is cut off and the lower part is no longer displayed.

With BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=ON in the build it does some fancy things. The graphics only appear when the LUA scrips are reloaded by changing between require 'cairo_xlib' and require 'cairo' on running conky. Will step back to the most stable release (1.19.8) for the moment.

The error attempt to call a nil value (global 'cairo_xlib_surface_create') can be solved by adding require 'cairo_xlib' in the LUA script.

This solves the error message, but still nothing on display. I think conky needs to be built with BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=ON

Since this version 1.21.2-1 my LUA/cairo graphics will not be displayed. Here's the error message: ~/.conky/personal_desk/meters.lua:585: attempt to call a nil value (global 'cairo_xlib_surface_create') Last version 1.20.2 did work fine.
