X Error when start conky

Hi Guys, i have one problem to start conky with plasma or budgie. The error is the follow:

conky: desktop window (260000e) is subwindow of root window (fa)
conky: window type - override
conky: drawing to created window (0x6200001)
conky: drawing to double buffer
conky: one or more $endif's are missing

Re: X Error when start conky

Have you tried adding the missing $endif for your mpd call?

From man conky:

if_mpd_playing
              if  mpd  is  playing  or   paused,   display   everything   between
              $if_mpd_playing and the matching $endif

I forgot to delete this part, the real file is:

I think the problem is the "override" parameter, cause when i try to use desktop it's work but if i click into desktop conky closed. I tried the same file into i3wm and it's work i think the problem is into DE (plasma or budgie-desktop)

Re: X Error when start conky

Why does your override parameter read:

own_window_type                         = 'override', --override

Why would you need the additional "--override" in the own_window_type setting?
