${top mem 1} reports inf when used without $mem or $swap

Issue
As per the title ${top mem 1} reports inf when used without $mem or $swap

Information

This issue was reported on openSUSE Tumbleweed which is using conky 1.11.5 but with the fix for #878 backported if this issue doesn't happen in conky from git I guess I need to figure out what else to backport.

Broken Config extract:

conky.text = [[
${color grey}Name              PID   CPU%   MEM%
${color lightgrey} ${top name 1} ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 2} ${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 3} ${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3} ${top mem 3}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 4} ${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4} ${top mem 4}
]]

Working Config Extract:

conky.text = [[
$mem
$hr
${color grey}Name              PID   CPU%   MEM%
${color lightgrey} ${top name 1} ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 2} ${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 3} ${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3} ${top mem 3}
${color lightgrey} ${top name 4} ${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4} ${top mem 4}
]]

I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed and I built conky from git because of this. The issue is still present without the $men workaround.

Hi, I can confirm failure occur on Manjaro 20.0.3 as well. Same conky version as described (1.11.5) in place.

06:34:46-$ uname -r
5.4.44-1-MANJARO
06:34:54-$ ipaclistinstalled |grep -i conky
conky 1.11.5+2+g0d449029-1

In case further information is required, let me know ;-)

I'm on 1.11.6_pre on fedora 31 and I have the same problem with ${top_mem mem 1} evaluating to inf as well.

I have 1.11.7_pre on Ubuntu 20.04, and have this issue too. I just built conky from git; IIRC on the ppa version there was no such issue.

I can confirm this bug.

Not quite a solution but if your distro allows it, downgrade conky to version 1.11.5. This is the last known version where this bug does not exist.

This seems to be addressed by #1518, as noted in #1036. Closing. Leave a comment to reopen.
