    No conky examples (folder is missing)

    /usr/share/doc/conky/ has no examples folder... so I am wondering if I messed up the install (I used sudo apt-get install conky) or if this was removed recently and where to get it from if that is the case.

    Hi,
    I don't know the answer to the missing folder question, because I'm not using conky, but I can tell you that there is a huge forum thread here giving screenshots and configurations of conky that you can use as examples. My only possible advice to your question is if you can run conky ok, then you shouldn't need a reinstall. You can reinstall conky any time you like though.
    Here's the thread:

    The config that comes with conky is in
    Code:
    /etc/conky/conky.conf
    In terminal
    Code:
    conky
    will load ~/.conkyrc
    or if you don't have a .conkyrc it will load /etc/conky/conky.conf

    Code:
    conky -c /path/to/your/conkyconfig
    will load the conky config you specify.

    You are better off downloading conky-all through synaptic
    because it is a full conky with most compile options enabled.

    This is a good guide to setting up conky:
