Conky memery shows wrong value

[godcrying]

Issue

In the htop, memery is just around 3Gib used, but conky shows wrong values.
$mem, $memperc and $membar is all wrong.

Information

I'm using Archlinux, conky release is 1.11.4
sorry for my weak English.

Duplicate #841? Is it always or occasionally show the wrong values?

I have downgraded to v1.11.3, and the value is correct.
I have ever tried the v1.11.4 appimage release, it also has wrong values.

Please try #859.

Thanks,

@godcrying Can you do a git bisect to find a bad commit? If you don't know how to, look at https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/718#issuecomment-467254662 (not wanting to ref) or you can search git bisect.

My random guess is 9da1101 and because this is between HEAD (i.e. v1.11.4) and v1.11.3, there are only 68 commits and shouldn't take long to find the bad commit. You will need to compile conky repeatedly until you find it.

The PR posted adjusts how memory usage is computed. I do believe if you have a look at it, you'll find it displays the values you'd rather see.

On an aside, it doesn't account for the rounding pointed out above. The values with the PR are indeed ever slightly off, so the rounding may be a part of why.

I also have some strange behavior with the latest conky version. Below you can find 2 screenshots of conky. One where everything is ok (older version) and one where something is broken.

Version: 1.11.4:

Version: 1.11.5

As you can see negative ram usage and the NVidia Dataproviders seems to be broken.

NVidia Driver is: 435.21
OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Kernel: 5.2.11

@VortexAcherontic The fix might be 0d44902 and it is in 1.11.6_pre.
