Hi there,

Im trying to set my conky but i have a weird problem. I can run conky by terminal but i do not see .conky folder in /home.

Where could the file that is running be? I would like to change conkyrc configuration for a nice clock made in words.

Best regards,

How do you launch Conky?

sadalavoaoj commented 8 years ago

Hello my friend,

I added in Mint Cinnamon 17.3 conky -d to startup but i only see conky on desktop after i open terminal and write "conky".

I noticed that when i do "Win +D" shortcut the icon stays like minimized again. Here is a example.

Best regards,

Ok my friend. If you launch conky with -d option, you launch the conkyrc default file. You must use the -c option if you want launch your own conky. For sample, I have five conky configuration, in a folder .conkyrc I have create in my home :

conky -c /home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky_monitor/conky-monitor conky -c /home/dominique/conky-meteo/conky-meteo4 conky -c /home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-saint/.conkyrc10 conky -c /home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-calendrier/conkyrc15 conky -c /home/dominique/.conkyrc/conky-soleil1/conkyrc

@brndnmtthws Should I keep calling your name or you'll check messages? For instance, can we close this? Just a general question/support going on here. Thanks.

@lasers I just made you a collaborator, so you can close them yourself :)

You can read more about it in man page. $ man conky

       -c | --config= FILE
              Config file to load instead of $HOME/.config/conky/conky.conf
