Installing on 19.2 should be simple. Either choose ''conky-all' (or conky-std, or cli) using software manager, or terminal command: apt install conky-all. The plain 'conky' package is a virtual package that will include one of these other specific packages, -probably conky-std. Maybe that's not working?

No need to add repos or something, or do anything other than simply install the package using the default repo.

conky-all is a typical good choice for our desktop usage.

If that package is not installing, share with us the output from terminal command: inxi -r

It's right there, no need to add a repo, assuming you're installing conky and not trying to install Conky.

On 19.2 :

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install conky
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  conky-std liblua5.1-0
...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...
$ which conky
/usr/bin/conky
$
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?
