If you’re under gnome, you can try this simple way as explained here; works nice for me:
- Create a file named
conky.desktop
in/usr/share/gnome/autostart/
- Copy and add the lines you will find on the link.
chmod 777 /usr/share/gnome/autostart/conky.desktop
- Maybe you will have to tweak the line that contain
Exec=conky -d
to fit your conky’s configuration. - Log out and log in again.
