Easy fix, in your .conky file add “background true” to the top of the file without the quotes!

First off, I just wanna say great article. Within a few moments of running conky, I notice a system process that was eating my cpu cycles like there was no tomorrow. Once, I stopped it, my system stopped being so sluggish. I thought I would have to buy more ram (Might buy it anyway just for the hell of it).

Anywho, I followed your instructions to the letter and everything worked. However, after my first restart, the conky window now sits on top of every window I load. Even web browsers. Is there a way to fix that?

The no such directory is probably cause ur harddrive isn’t mounted. I have it too if i have my USB drive not mounted.
