Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome Conky does not work right
Conky changed the conkyrc format to lua in the recent versions, the original seamod (and 99% of all other conkys out there) still have the old format.
Thankfully, user maxiwell on Github has already converted the popular seamod theme for Ubuntu 16.04. Since askubuntu/Stackoverflow prefers source instead of links, here the conkyrc.lua:

This should give you the original seamod appearance back

Use an updated seamod and try set window type to dock or normal
On Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, maxiwell's update of seamod worked for me (as mentioned by emk2203's answer), but provided I edited the conkyrc.lua to use the 'dock' or 'normal' window type and use window manager hints. E.g the following are key config values to use:
own_window_type = 'dock',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below',
own_window_type = 'normal' with the above own_window_hints also worked okay.
Beware, maxiwell's conkyrc.lua has a typo where own_window_type is set twice. Remove the duplication if you use it.
What didn't work:
-
own_window_type = 'desktop'doesn't work well as conky disappears when clicking desktop items. -
own_window_type = 'override'causesX Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)in Ubuntu Gnome and also doesn't support background transparency.
And of course, it needs the conky-all package, not conky-std, as seamod depends on cairo to draw the gauges/rings.
My own working example
I reworked and forked maxiwell's update here. It has a readme with instructions on how to install and autostart conky (should hopefully work with most Gnome 3.18+ desktop environments with conky 1.10+). My version also has fixes to include a border and semi-transparent background.
