Re: conky manager gone
from a terminal you can run
and if it does not work, try reinstalling "conky-manager" from the MX Package Installer.
Code: Select all
conky-manager2

*MXPI = MX Package Installer

Re: conky manager gone
2 other files also can affect this in your home directory
cd .config/autostart
ls -la - look for a file conky.desktop it should be here present
cd ~/.conky
ls -la conky-startup.sh
this is the script that is called when you login to your desktop session and display the conky.
This also can be rebuilt from files out of /etc/skel/.conky
permissions of the files can also affect the execution of the script
you may chmod 555 conky-startup.sh providing read and execute , take it step further could get away with chmod 550 conky-startup.sh
its your own file in your home directory "Other should not be permissive to see look at your files" nor read them.

Re: conky manager gone
Download and install Synaptic. From there, delete the rest of your Conky garbage because it's a waste of space and CPU cycles.

Re: conky manager gone
Per the QSI on another thread, they are running XFCE which has Synaptic installed.
That's an opinion.From there, delete the rest of your Conky garbage because it's a waste of space and CPU cycles.
