Sounds like you already have it installed, just try running "conky" it from your terminal

when i write conky there is this :

Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none. 'yes' seems to be some form of 'true', so defaulting to right.
Conky: forked to background, pid is 13131
grozn1@grozn1-desktop:~$
Conky: desktop window (20000af) is subwindow of root window (13c)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x6200001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state: No such file or directory
Conky: can't open /proc/apm: No such file or directory

You might need to create .conkyrc. See http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html , scroll down to Configuration Settings.

Looks like your default conky config file is messed up, try downloading any simple rc file and use

conky -c "Filename" &

i can`t create folder or file in conky foder ! i`ve config :S

[oldos2er]

.conkyrc should be in your home folder. touch .conkyrc run in a terminal will create the file, then use gedit or whatever your favorite text editor is to customize it. Suggestions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1358302
