Thread: conky startup problems

i posted in desktop environment without response, hoping maybe here can help.

conky configuration has been working fine quite time not auto starting. did "downgrade" 64-bit 9.04 32 causing many headaches.

have .conky_start.sh script:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 30 && conky;
chmod a+x .conky_start.sh

, i'm referencing location of file in startup sessions manager. can manually execute operation command line via either "conky" or "sh .conky_start.sh" without issue.

daemon.log file found following:

sep 30 19:21:17 mycomputer x-session-manager[3506]: warning: application 'compiz.desktop' failed register before timeout

sep 30 19:21:20 mycomputer x-session-manager[3506]: warning: not launch application '.conky_start.sh.desktop': unable start application: failed execute child process "/home/me/.conky_start.sh" (permission denied)

i've changed permissions on desktop file both root , myself through gedit , using chown, neither of results in difference , still receive errors. i've googled errors , i've found bugs compiz though don't seem relate issues i've been experiencing.

minor inconvenience having start terminal anyway, though i'd understand , learn how fix these "bugs" arise.

couldn't add:

code:

sleep 30 && conky

to startup manager?

if not work, add end of rc.local?

don't understand why chmod a+x in script?
