Hi,
we're going to need a bit more information than that. What 4 ways did you try? What exactly does not working mean? What is your .conkyrc?

OK, so when you say it does not work what do you mean? Do you see anything at all?
Let's make a simple test. Create a new text file (you can use menu => Accesories => gedit) and paste this code into it:
Code: Select all
update_interval 1
total_run_times 0
own_window yes
own_window_type desktop
minimum_size 230 5
maximum_width 230
alignment top_right
gap_x 15
gap_y 5
TEXT
This is a test!
Then, save the file as conkytest.txt in your home directory and then open a terminal (menu => Accesories => terminal), paste this command and hit enter:
Do you see the words "This is a test!" on the top right corner of your screen? If not, please post any error messages from the terminal here.

It was an honor and a privilege sir.
The window type option might be the problem. Try changing this line:
