Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS don't install Conky Manager

I need to install Conky Manager to add themes and change settings to make my own preferences on a desktop screen. However when I type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install conky-manager

My Ubuntu says to me that I'm unable to find conky manager package. Can anyone help me to install Conky Manager to personalize my desktop screen properly? Thanks!:)

Solution 1:

Let's start with analysis of this PPA problem. You are going to install conky-manager package, so you know exact name and target Ubuntu version.
In such case you should use special PPA search page on launchpad.net - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas with the corresponding search query "conky-manager". This page will return search results. You should click all these links one-after-one and select Published in: Bionic filter. You can choose any PPA which you trust more.
Other way is to use Y PPA Manager.

I ended with this one (ppa:mark-pcnetspec/conky-manager-pm9) as it has realpath package in PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mark-pcnetspec/conky-manager-pm9
sudo apt-get install conky-manager

After installation you will get Conky Manager 2.4 running on your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

Note: packages from two other PPAs (ppa:marius.quabeck/nerdzoom and ppa:tomtomtom/conky-manager (20.04 LTS compatible)) are really depends on realpath package (as were noted by @OrganicMarble), but do not include it.

Solution 2:

Conky-manager isn't in the ppa for 18.04 which is why you couldn't install it.

Unfortunately copying the .deb from 16.04 doesn't work either, because a dependency ("realpath") is missing.

It appears that getting conky-manager to work in 18.04 will not be easy.

It will probably be easier to edit your conky manually.
