Conky, again on KDE

Support Software & Applications
, ,
1

I have an old config file which I have converted to lua style.
It runs but with the black background instead of being transparent.
I have an Nvidia GPU but it is running the nouvea driver, do I need a nv version of conky or not.
I think I have tried them all so maybe it is the conky file as well.

Anyone have some insight?

Then a script to a shortcut to launch/kill them

#!/bin/bash
 if pgrep -x "conky"
    then killall conky
    else 
        conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c1-network.conky
        conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c2.conky

Thanks for the info, however none of those are anything but solid black backgrounds, I have installed/built all the conky packages I can see.
Not to worry I will keep looking and start editing with more ticks haha

Easier, when you post code, select it all, and click the code button </>

//EDIT: I would delete/repost code again it seems it is messed up right now. Maybe the forum interpreted some characters before you did the code button thing. At least have a look if it is as it should.

code between single ticks is led robust, often falls down when it has quotes inside.

As happened with the op posting his original config.
