I recently started using conky, and I'm trying to have it run on startup. To do this, I've used the Startup Application program to run a shell script that starts conky. If I run this script manually, it works fine and conky shows up. However, conky doesn't seem to show up on startup. I can tell that the script runs, as I can see conky running in the system monitor, but nothing appears on my desktop.
This is the .desktop
file that was created:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/home/nick/start_conky
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_CA]=Conky
Name=Conky
Comment[en_CA]=
Comment=
And my ubuntu version is 21.10 impish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
