My barely started conky is going berserk. Please help. [SOLVED]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I see so many problem posts of 21.x that i'll keep going on 20.3!

Sound logic. I didn't discover Mint until v21.2 and as it has done just about everything I have tried to do with forum assistance, I went right ahead and got 21.3 on the first day it was available. It's been running like a champ as well.

The only disappointments I have had is windows software EventGhost doesn't work properly on either Wine or PlayOnLinux, and I can't get this awesome program called Corectrl installed

I don't know what these programs are or do, but have you try to find a linux version of them... or a program that does similar things?
I have dumped all my windows apps except for one, Paint Shop Pro 9, that's the Win7 VM for.

I use xdotool and Repeat as the only 2 recommended Linux variants of EventGhost. I have several automations happening via xdotool and bash scripts.

What are you using xdotool for?

What are you using xdotool for?

On startup the Gigolo dir opens by default as it mounts Windows Network drives and then it's stuck open. My reboot routine begins with xdotool autoclosing the Gigolo window, then it opens the network directory moves it to a predetermined position, moves the mouse over my opti-plex directory double clicks to open, moves mouse to its Public directory, pauses then double clicks that to mount the direcory then closes the window. Repeats this for my HP linux box's Public dir.

I think that's about it at this point. Most of my audio/visual alarms are handled by python3 or pure bash.

You don't need xdotool for mounting samba shares...
Install cifs-utils

Create the folders you want to share in /media/<user>
Chown the new folders to your username and group

Then run this on the terminal
sudo mount.cifs -o pass=<password> //<server-ip>/share /media/<user>/<createdfolder>

This can be done with a script at logon...
