Problem with conky after update
I don't know how you are drawing conky to your desktop, but there might be some useful information in that post. I'm working through the syntax error the OP posted about there.sigpic

I did notice.
On 14.04 to 15.04 I had to give it a few pixels offset to not overlap with my left side toolbar.
On 15.10 I had to change this number of pixels a little.
At the moment in 15.10 I use this:
Code:# Gap between borders of screen and text gap_x 90 gap_y 10
Code:# Gap between borders of screen and text gap_x 10 gap_y 10

I resolved my syntax error. I had to take a few swings at it to get it right.
Here are a few changes that stood out to me from here.
- wrap your config section in conky.config = { ... }
- wrap your TEXT section in conky.text = [[ ... ]]
- the config options are lookup values and you need to assign the values (i.e. use "=")
- each line in the config section ends with ","
- replace "yes" and "no" with "true" and "false", resp. (without quotes)
- all values except numbers, "true" and "false" need quotes
- comments are marked with "--" instead of "#"
Topic: new Conky syntax beginning from version 1.10
The example conky.conf in Kubuntu 15.10 is found here.

About the shade of the Conky area, in my conkyrc I found a curious line setting a background colour, I really don't know how it got there...
Commenting it out solved the issue.
