it is possible the screen doesn't exist at the time conky creates and shows its window. it's hotplugged afterwards. try starting conky after your screens are up and see. enable remembers for it etc. - also lock conky from moving its window. > Best, Glen > > --- > > > On 2025-01-01 13:36, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > On Wed, 1 Jan 2025 16:12:07 +0000 Wawrzek Niewodniczanski > > <m...@wawrzek.name> > > said: > > > >> Happy New Year, > >> > >> I would like to start the new year by solving a few small computer > >> issues I > >> have.
