Conky problems

Hello all,
I can not use any conky theme in Q4os Linux. Every time I add a theme two conky windows appeared on the screen.
One one the left with information on black and one on the right with the selected theme.
Any help?

Best regards

I have installed conky-manager2 from here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/ … _amd64.deb  and I have downloaded some themes from MX. Subsequently, I opened the conky manager and I select one theme. When the system reboots two themes appeared on the screen as the screenshot in the related URL that I have sent you

Re: Conky problems

We'll check, but the sources you downloaded aren't compatible with Debian and Q4OS. So, it's to be expected that they won't work properly. Why not use Conky from the Debian repositories?

Thank you one more time! I will download some themes from other sources, but I think that I had similar issues

How can I do that? I have followed every method that I have found in the internet and always two conky windows appear on my screen.
Is there a proper way from debian to start a custom conky theme automatically when I login to kde?

$ sudo apt install conky-all

I have done this. How can I add themes ? The only theme is a black window that appears on the left

The only solution found so far is to copy the Conky Resource file to ~/.conkyrc  and reboot

Maybe it's worth reading this, for example: https://itsfoss.com/conky-gui-ubuntu-13 … mmand-line
