Menu, Control Center, Personal, Startup Applications, if Conky is in the list enable it, if not add it.

Re: Adding conky to startup
Typing "whereis conky" in a terminal will show you its full pathname, which is /usr/bin/conky . Try that...

Then you have something amiss with the command line at the launcher screen. No other possibilities.

hi
Try this.Create an empty file in your home folder, let's call it .conky-startup.sh, make it executable and put this in it:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30 && conky ;
Save the file and go to All Applications > Preferences > Startup Applications, click "Add" and add the path to the .conky-startup.sh file, for instance /home/yourname/.conky-startup.sh
or you can browse to it.
This starts conky after the desktop, so that conky appears on top.
After you add .conky-startup.sh to start up, uncheck the box next to conky
so you don't have a conflict.
This is how mine is setup.I also have a customized conky config stored in
a file named .conkyrc in my home directory.
Is your conky customized or is it vanilla?
Did you install it through Package Manager or a .deb file
What version are you running?
Run this in terminal to find out
hope this helps

Now, that you have your Conky and know how to make Conky start up when booting into LinuxMint; here is a link to the LinuxMint Conky Showoff thread:

Now, it's time to Show off what you've done with the Conky App. in LinuxMint.
Doesn't matter how simple or Hard-Core a Conky it is ... we'd like to see it.
