Just type Conky into terminal.

If you just downloaded it you will probably want to copy someones conkyrc from Here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865)

In terminal type gedit .conkyrc To edit the default conkyrc.

You're probably just missing the conkyrc file and it doesn't have any info to read from. Pick one up from that forum link I provided. Then in terminal type gedit .conkyrc paste the conkyrc you found. Then type in terminalconky it sould work.

If it still doesn't work, re-install it in terminal.

sudo apt-get remove --purge conky
sudo apt-get install conky
