None of the arguments you mentioned are something that conky supports. See the manual and --help for a list of supported arguments. I know there's ’background’ setting that allows starting conky as a daemon. There's definitely an argument for it too, I just can't remember AFK. As for delaying the startup, it's a good idea but wouldn't work in a lot of cases where conky needs to start after a separate desktop application in order to be shown properly by Xorg. It's however something that definitely could and should be supported at some point. |

Even without autostart, Conky creates a process, but nothing shows up. It only works after I manually kill the process and run it again. The first time I try to launch it, it never works, so it seems like there's a bug. I'm on Ubuntu 25.04 with Kernel: 6.14.0-22-generic |

Hi,
I dont understand why the application cant wait until a dekstop is availbale like why do i need to pause it manually? i have a entry in my autostart like this:
conky --daemonize --pause=300the process started but conky doesnt show up? why ?
I've googled this issue and people say create a shell script etc. but nothing worked like why does this simple error persist over a decade and nobody can fix it?
