In addition to using MX provided debs, you may need to create the file /etc/mx-version,
b/c some mx-conky's fail to run if that file does not exist.
On Linux Mint do create the file this way within opened terminal as normal user:

Code: Select all

lsb_release -sd | sudo tee /etc/mx-version
Also best to install full conky, if not yet installed

Code: Select all

sudo apt install conky-all
Further, you don't need to copy any conkies manually, just start "mx-conky",
it will populate the .conky folder with all MX conky's available within the package mx-conky-data.

Great! Thanks a lot. Now conky manager can see all the folder. But lua is not loading. Do I need to install anything else?

You want the "+4" version deb for MX 23/Bookworm.
I just followed this post. So, the conky manager can read the folders on .conky. But the lua rings on some conky is not run.

Thank you friend. After applying the commands conky works normally with lua. That's a great works friend. Thanks a lot.
