Conky in Gnome 3.10 shell

Question

I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 and recently installed gnome 3.10 on my HPnc6320. I have the 5.2 lua interpreter installed as well and conky. Both from the ubuntu apt-get tool.

I was following the Conky tutorial from Unix Men

I followed every step. I chose the Ubuntu set of Conky and Lua scripts. I put them in the locations and changed the files like it said.

I also changed a parameter in /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf as outlined HERE because I was getting an error about reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. This changed fixed that as far as I can tell.

Where I am having trouble is when I run Conky, the output I get is:

jesse@nc6320 ~:$ conky
Conky: desktop window (100001d) is subwindow of root window (7f)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x4200001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

I am new to Conky and Gnome. What do I have to do to get this Conky script working?

Thank you for any input

Answer 1

I had asked this question over at ask.ubuntu as well and I figured it out. Here is what I posted over there: I figured it out. Thanks to this thread

I made some changes to the window parameters they are now:

own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below

own_window_type was override and I added the own_window_arb_visual yes parameter

Hope this helps anyone else out
