Title: Conky not being persistant - Possible bug? Or No?
Post by: Richard Cranium on June 19, 2026, 01:13:57 PM

Mods , if this thread needs to be moved , that's fine ... 8)

I have Conky installed and I've fixed it up twice (conky.conf) just how I liked it.. but after reboot , it's back to Not how I want it .. And Yes I've backed up the system (filetool.list) using the application in control panel , assuming that's the correct way of doing it....

But yet Conky won't cooperate..  Tint2 works fine , I've changed the wbar and it's just fine after reboot.. Everything else is all there , just not Conky... 

I searched around the forum , but didn't really find the answers ...   Any thoughts?

If you're worried about it, save an extra copy in your home directory.
