Or you can go to "Startup Applications"-> "Add"
Enter: Name"-conky - "Command"-conky and click "Add".
Conky will now turn on at power up automatically.

Re: how do you get conky to be shown on screen?
The Conky Manager is awesome and I'd suggest using it. You can still create or add new Conky files to the ones that come automatically with the manager. The manager just makes it way easier to turn on/off different Conky's. There's also a check box in the Options tab that allows you to start Conky on startup of the PC

After installing Conky, making a conky.desktop file to ~/.config/autostart folder. The file contents:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Conky
Comment=conky
Exec=conky
