conky doesn't start at login

Sapfeer · 12-31-2009, 07:24 AM

I have ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop file in my home dir. Here is it:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=conky
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/conky -d
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

but conky doesn't start sometimes... Moreover, it just starts sometimes, mostly not... What is the matter?.. I can't find out anything...

Did you add that entry via startup applications?

No, I added that entry manually, in terminal session. It is not the first and not the last entry, I added manually, but others start without any problems...

See if just adding a conky launcher script at that same location works. Like:

Quote:

#!/bin/bash
conky -d &

chmod +x script

And put it there and see if it works. It's difficult to tell without using gnome.

It didn't help. I put such script in ~/.config/autostart, restart gnome several times, but conky started just about two or three times...

Ok try without the "-d", just simply "conky"

It has no effect... I've rebooted twice, but conky didn't start at all..
