Hi,
I tried to install some gnome extensions and tried out the compiz wavy windows, once installed conky would no longer work at all,
I tried a fix online by installing and configuring compizConfig software and adding class="conky" to a section. But turns out that compiz is a window manager and not just the extension. And now conky only appears while changing workspace and disapears once the icons of the desktop reapear, the process is still running and I have tried a ton of edits on the own_window = true and on the own_window_type and non seem to fix my problem.
Thanks

Here is my conky config file:
Code:
conky.config = {

	diskio_avg_samples = 10,
