Hello, i have emerged conky, but when i would like to copy default configuration file of conky, my terminal complain there aren't any file or folder named conky.conf. It's strange, i have followed the tutorial...

I have looked, conky installation don't have generated any folder .conky on installation or any conky.conf file on default conky folder. Normal ?

Code:
fulgurance@MSI-GS73VR-6RF ~ $ ls /etc/conky
ls: impossible d'accéder à '/etc/conky': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
fulgurance@MSI-GS73VR-6RF ~ $ ls

Yes, normal. Conky v 1.10.4 introduced a completely changed config method (without notice).

Config material suggestions are in /usr/share/doc/conky*

No man page anymore either. Brief help is available with `conky --help`

Code:
'conky -C > ~/.conkyrc' will create a new default config


Edit to add, "~/.conkrc" is the normal, traditional location for conky config. The naming convention suggested in /usr/share/doc/conky* (~/conky.conf) is misleading. What I meant by changed config method was really that the config file syntax was changed.

Edit to add one more item. conky does not use a global config file. There is no conky material in the /etc branch.

Code:
locate -r etc.*conky
find /etc -iname "conky*"
