Conky not working in Gnome 3.4

rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 15074 / 2 Years ago, fri, october 28, 2022, 4:17:42

I've installed conky using sudo apt-get install conky-all and followed this tutorial to configure. The configuration works properly in Unity desktop in Ubuntu 12.04 and everything seems OK, However using Gnome 3 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 Ubuntu 12.04.

Here is the .conkyrc file.

Just replace own_window_type override with following lines:



own_window_type normal

own_window_argb_visual yes

and use following command to start conky automatically at startup:

bash -c "sleep 20; conky"
