Hey guys
I m using linux mint 10
I hv installed conky & it is made to auto-start with OS but when it starts there is a border around whole conky skin & it is the topmost over other windows.
I m using a custom conkyrc file and it is not the problem with the file.
Please help.

Re: Conky startup problem

Re: Conky startup problem
yep, conky is starting to soon, and compiz is messing with the display after;
you need to delay the start a little, so the desktop settles down;
that can be achieved with this little script, save it in home, make it executable and then add the script to the startup app (not the conky directly)
note: the sleep 30 (it's the time it will wait until it starts conky - in seconds) you can change, depends on the speed on your hardware, try and see

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30
conky -c ~/.conkyrc
exit

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry for the silly question but how do I make the script executable.

Re: Conky startup problem
no worries, right click on the file, properties, permissions, tick the box "allow executing file as program"
that should do it.
