If you are using LCC, I think you ignore everything basic Conky sets up for you.
You start LCC and thus Conky by using the shell script included with LCC: start-lcc.sh.
I installed LCC at ~/.config/conky.
I edit local.conf in that location. (I also edited a few other Lua files in that location that you normally don't have to edit, to get exactly what I wanted.)
Then, ..., I don't remember doing this, but, the last two lines in ~/.config/wayfire.ini are:
[autostart]
conky = bash $HOME/.config/conky/start-lcc.sh
Either I did that, or LCC automatically added it the first time I manually ran ~/.config/conky/start-lcc.sh? This starts LCC when I login and create the desktop.
Be aware that there is a delay set in 'start-lcc.sh' for starting Conky, to allow things to settle down; I had to increase this delay a bit.
The default setting in ~/.config/conky/conky.conf is own_window_transparent = false,
so you have to set it to 'true' in local.conf.
Also, LCC sets 'background = false'. You might need that in a regular Conky config?
And I am using Raspberry Pi OS, not 73linux.
