Conky (1.7.1) wrongly reports free space

[Cz-David]

Binary package hint: conky

I have recently updated to Conky 1.7.1 due to a mouse positioning bug. Since than Conky reports free space on my discs several GB higher that its actual value.

What is the output of the command "df -h" given in a terminal, and how does it compare to what conky is reporting?

[Cz-David (davidp2004)]

df -h shows correct values.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

conky correctly reports the free space (size - used).
I know its confusing; it used to report the available space until recently (and the documentation hasn't been changed to reflect this change, plus fs_bar/fs_bar_free still use the available space), so I asked clarifications upstream.

This bug was fixed in the package conky - 1.7.1.1-0ubuntu1

    - revert commit b6e691e8ac1d09df7a01c25583b785025a6212a6
