Topic: Conky Not Displaying Full Output from execpi

I have a slight problem with my MythTV script, which I haven't been able to fix. Perhaps someone here has an idea? The script is written in Python and outputs to stdout. It works correctly when I run it in a terminal. However, in conky the last few lines are never displayed. The exact number of lines displayed seems to vary randomly. It's called in conky using:

${color white}${execpi 60 ~/devel/myth_python_status/myth_status.py}

hi geekinthesticks wink
maybe you can add this line before the text in your conkyrc:

text_buffer_size 2048

when conky has too much to read/write, you have to add this. you can custom it (1024, 2048, .....)
hope it works smile
