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?

Re: LM13 Cinnamon & Conky
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:
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.

Code: Select all
update_interval 1
total_run_times 0
own_window yes

minimum_size 230 5
maximum_width 230

This is a test!
