Conky logs me out on first launch

Honestly I don't know where to start, the problem is that whenever I launch conky after boot up it just logs me out and then when I login once again I can run it and I have no idea what's causing it.

Relevant info:
WM: Compiz
DM: Lightdm

.conkyrc:

background yes
double_buffer yes
own_window yes
own_window_class Conky
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated
alignment top_middle
use_xft yes
update_interval 1.0
default_color white

TEXT
${color #f9c955}${font DejaVuSans:size=72} ${voffset -20}${offset 300} ${time %H:%M} $color$font

${color grey}${font DejaVuSans:size=24}${offset 180}Battery:$color ${battery_percent BAT1}%  ${color grey}Battery Time:$color ${battery_time BAT1}

${color grey}${offset 140} Network:$color ${wireless_essid wlp8s0} ${color grey}Signal:$color ${wireless_link_bar 18,200 wlp8s0} $font

If you run conky what error does it give you? Does it log you out right away?

Re: Conky logs me out on first launch

yeah I forgot to mention this it just logs me out directly so I can;t check for errors ( or at least don't know how )

Edit: I just installed Icedtea-web and java contet also logs me out, my guess it has something to do either with compiz or with the ati card in the laptop

Check both the journal and your Xorg specific logs.

Re: Conky logs me out on first launch

it seems that both conky and java cause fatal io error 11 which crashes the xserver and returns me to the login screen, google search indicates it has something to do with compiz, ah well I suppose I might use this oppertunity to check out openbox
