Does it work when you manually convert the config to the new syntax?

Comment 2 Steven Usdansky 2015-11-07 15:46:04 UTC

Display error persists with a new-style .conkyrc. The same new-style .conkyrc file works   fine with conky-1.10.0-1 in Ubuntu 16.04 dev

A similar error was reported in bug #1284232 and there is a suggestion to enable double-buffering support.
