@ Elaine M
Change the line near the top

own_window_type override

to

own_window_type normal

or
leave as is and change

own_window_argb_visual yes

to

own_window_argb_visual no

argb_visual does not work well with own_window_type override

You're using Conky 1.8.1-6. It has a problem with Gnome-Keyring, and also has this strange tendency to wait until the first interval before running any of the execi commands.

Upgrade to Conky 1.9.0-2. Easiest way (Ubuntu family)?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/conky
sudo apt-get update

Then just accept the updated version of Conky that shows up.

Thanks! that fixed it.

Thank you all so much for your help. Things getting better. HOwever my black background on weather conky has now changed to blue with some sort of image as a water mark or something. Also its not using the weather icons everything is white. And iam attaching screen shot AND conkyrc the "right" way this time....smile

@Elaine M

in a conky file everything above TEXT is settings
it seems your conky on the right is working just fine

i would try and copy all the settings from the right side conky and overwrite the settings in the left side conkyrc

[Elaine M]

Thank you so much Mr. Peachy. I will try that, and report back. I hope it does work.

[Elaine M]

Hmmmm, well i did as you suggested Mr. Peachy, heres the results. It looks a little worse, but not really as some tweaks in my right side conky would account for that. But over all no differnced. It seems to me its just not getting the icons from the weather icons folder. But what do i know...im person who just learned how to post conkys...LOL. Do you have any other ideas maybe? Im attaching latest screen shot.

[Elaine M]

Since it didnt work i put it back way it was. Also if it makes a differnce or rrings a bell with you , i used your v9000 weather conky. I had same problem with it (meaning no weather icons, just white) Switched to teo's and it worked ok except for the soldid black background. Im re-attaching screenshot and connkyrc.....thank you again for your patience and effort.

Everything is ok with this settings except for one thing... argb_visuals.
I've colored it in your conky.rc so you could find it.
You must change it to

#own_window_argb_visual yes
#own_window_argb_value 255

(effectively switching it off) because in spite of it's description in documentation, when using with COMPOSITE MANAGER (default for Ubuntu flavors), it cause logical AND operation on Conky window and background data which gives such strange results (icon are there, but "overexposed").
