http://askubuntu.com – I had installed conky using sudo apt-get install conky-all and use the following tutorial to configure: http://www.unixmen.com/configure-conky-lua-in-ubuntu-11-10-12-04-fedora-.... The configuration works properly in Unity desktop in Ubuntu 12.04 and everything seems OK, however using Gnome 3 shell nothing appears on the desktop. I have used following command to invoke conky at startup sh -c "sleep 20s; conky -c ~/.conkyrc". Please suggest what additional steps need to be taken in order to make it work in Gnome shell in Ubuntu 12.04. Here is the content of .conky (HowTos)

Stories similar to Conky not working in Gnome 3.4 shell

I have a new install of Ubuntu desktop on an old IBM T43 laptop, and I am trying to get conky up and running. I've copied one of the sample .conkyrc files from the conky sourceforge page and pasted it into ~/.conkyrc . However, I've rebooted conky several times (killall -SIGUSR1 conky) and it still uses the default configuration in: /etc/conky/conky.conf .

Hello, I'm trying to install conky and I'm not able to achieve it. I'm using Gnome3.

Greetings,

I've been trying to set Conky on startup but it seems to be a problem.

[ubuntu] Where is my Conky ? 45 weeks 3 days ago

I used Ubuntu 12.04 in Gnome Classic I installed Conky from Ubuntu Software Center But I found no conky on my menu. My conky will show up only if I open it from Terminal. Why?

Is it able to have conky as one of my startup application ?

I have a section of my Conky that requires either the command to be run with sudo, or conky to be started with sudo.

Is there any way, to either have the sudo pw in the conky script (which would be kinda stupid as it would be stored in plain text...)?

or, would it be possible to run conky, on startup, with sudo and the pw enable by gnome keyring or something?

I guess the last solution would be

My conky in Gnome 3.4 is not working. When I run a conky script nothing appears but the process is running.

Hey guys. I'm trying to install a new conky that I got off a website. I'm really new to conky and ubuntu in general but here's my issue.

As the title said, I need help running Conky in Ubuntu 12.04. I want to customize my desktop. I want it to be uniquely mine. From what I understand, Conky is the way to do this. Now, that said, everything I have found so far about Conky has been over my head. Will someone PLEASE explain it to me in a way that is for the ABSOLUTE. BEGINNER.

Hey guys.

So i'am trying to get more into Conky. But i have a bit of "trouble" finding information on how to use Conky. How to configure it, how to use it and so on and so forth.

Anyone who have some good links for a total Conky newbie getting more experience in that area?

Thanks on advance. Kind regards.
