Hello,  
But I think it’s not possible because for this it’s with that **“sudo add-apt repository”** etc etc the repository free or not free are not accepted in budgie? It’s possible or not , many thanks 😇

Hi Jibel.

Which is exactly the _ppa_ you’re trying to enable ?  
Once again, as already said elsewhere, Budgie _is_ Ubuntu so you may enable _ppa_.  
If the _ppa_ you target has no available packages for _your version_ of ( whatever flavor of ) _Ubuntu_, it’s _not_ Budgie ( or else ) 's fault.

As mentioned [here](https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/conky#depuis_les_depots) « La version 1.10 [de conky] est présente dans les dépôts Universe sous Bionic Beaver (18.04) » and it’s still true in 19.10 or 20.04 see [here also](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=conky&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all). Hence no _ppa_ needed for conky, conky-all, conky-std or conky-cli.

Regarding _conky-manager_ on [https://launchpad.net/~teejee2008/+archive/ubuntu/ppa](https://launchpad.net/~teejee2008/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) I can’t see there any package for 19.10 or 20.04, latest is 16.04. **This project looks dead**.  
It seems it has been forked into _conky-manager2_ → [https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2](https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2)  
Only way to install this is by compiling it, following [these instructions](https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/blob/add-1.10-support/HOWTOBUILD.md).

From some quick looking around, it has not had a new build for Ubuntu since 16.04, and the repo has not had a commit for over 3 years. It looks like the project might be stagnant and no longer supported. Your only real option might be to try and compile it. Or try manually downloading the deb file from the PPA. But it may not install due to dependencies.

I see there is a fork over at [https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2](https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2). But that requires a compile.

Jibel, did you read both answers from @bashfulrobot and myself ?

_conky-manager_ is an old project, maybe dead. It has no compatible version for newer Ubuntu versions.

There is a _fork_ named conky-manager2 which is maintained. You can install this one by _compiling_ it.

Once again, it’s not Budgie nor Ubuntu’s « fault » if _conky-manager_ can’t be installed the way you used to install it in past Ubuntu versions or in other OS.

The conky-manager2 [compiling instructions](https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/blob/add-1.10-support/HOWTOBUILD.md) are quite short and clear, give them a try 😉

I have installed CM on Mate 20.04, before on elementary Hera and Debian 10, all on VirtualBox. I’m pretty sure you can do that on ubuntu 20.04. See this [https://vitux.com/how-to-install-conky-and-conky-manager-on-ubuntu/](https://vitux.com/how-to-install-conky-and-conky-manager-on-ubuntu/), or this [https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2019/06/how-to-install-conky-manager-24-on.html](https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2019/06/how-to-install-conky-manager-24-on.html)

Did you forget about that → [https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22147989#p22147989](https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22147989#p22147989) ?

It’s from one of PeppermintOS 9 repositories [https://launchpad.net/~mark-pcnetspec/+archive/ubuntu/conky-manager-pm9/](https://launchpad.net/~mark-pcnetspec/+archive/ubuntu/conky-manager-pm9/) so it’s a bit old - current version of PeppermintOS is 10 and next 11 planned for June will be Ubuntu20.04 based.

For more explanation, see [https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,7121.msg72844.html#msg72844](https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,7121.msg72844.html#msg72844)

The second link in @krzysztof’s post suggests the same, with the two packages installed manually.
