Recently I installed Ubuntu 18.04. Installing Conky Manager with these commands failed with "Dependency is not satisfiable: realpath".
sudo apt install conky-all
cp /etc/conky/conky.conf ~/.conkyrc
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install conky-manager
wget https://launchpad.net/~teejee2008/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/conky-manager_2.4~136~ubuntu16.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install gdebi
sudo gdebi conky-manager*.deb
Do you know how to resolve the dependency on "realpath"?
apt package-management updates ppa conky

There has been no active development toconky-managersince 2016, and apparently one programrealpaththat was available in the repros then isn't available any longer. It will not be easy to recreate it either - see e.g. the discussion here. You may contact the developer through his Launchpad page.

And you shouldn't, generally speaking, attempt to install software (from ppas or otherwise) that aren't available for your OS version.

have installed conky on ubuntu 18.04 and it works fine! I don't understand why you want to install it via external ppa. It works fine with standard packages.

@abu_bua Likely there's an expectation (correct or otherwise) that Conky Manager will shorten or eliminate the learning curve that accompanies attempts to customize Conky.

Artful is 17.10, right? If realpath is in 17.10 but not in (bionic) 18.04, there's probably a good reason.

a tentative answer:
1° install conky:
sudo apt-install conky
2° download realpath: link to realpath
3° download the conky manager: this is the link
4° install realpath and then conky:
sudo dpkg realpath_8.26...(the rest of the name you can copy paste in the terminal)
sudo dpkg conky...(id.)
5° then:
sudo apt -f install
6°launch conky manager from activities.
hope this works for you.
leave long and prosper.

There has been no active development to
conky-managersince 2016, and apparently one programrealpaththat was available in the repros then isn't available any longer. It will not be easy to recreate it either - see e.g. the discussion here. You may contact the developer through his Launchpad page.– Jos

@abu_bua Likely there's an expectation (correct or otherwise) that Conky Manager will shorten or eliminate the learning curve that accompanies attempts to customize Conky.
