Conky doesn't seem to launch

I'm not sure if this is quite the right place as I'm now running Kubuntu, but I don't know of a forum or stack dedicated to specifically Kubuntu help.

I'm trying to run the GoogleIntegratedSystem theme for Conky, but it doesn't render the actual window. It doesn't crash, either; when I run the start file, the desktop flashes black for an instant and then I get this output:

conky: Syntax error (conkyKeepRc:2: unexpected symbol near '#') while reading config file. 
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.

I've found some indication that this is a problem with Conky 1.10 (which makes sense as the GISC theme is some five years old now) that can be fixed by rolling back to 1.9, but I can't find a repository that still hosts it - the original, apparently, removed it a few years ago and all of the forks throw 404 errors.

This is the conky configuration - should be almost completely the same as when I downloaded the theme, with the exception of the gcalcli command at the bottom, which used outdated syntax.

${voffset -267}${font monofur:pixelsize=14}${color ffffff}${execpi 1400 gcalcli agenda  --client-id=[redacted for obvious reasons - gcalcli throws no errors so this part should be fine] --client-secret=[*]

According to this source and variuos other google results you need to change the parameter --nolineart into --lineart=ascii.

For Linux distributions that have a gcalcli 4.0.0 or newer (not the old 4.0.0a4, 4.0.0a3, etc.), e.g. Ubuntu 19.04, use --lineart=ascii instead of --nolineart in the Conky code above. You can easily find out if your gcalcli version supports --nolineart by running gcalcli --conky --nolineart calm in a terminal - if you get an error saying "unrecognized arguments: --nolineart", then you're using a newer gcalcli version that no longer supports --nolineart, and you'll need to use --lineart=ascii instead (--lineart=unicode works too).
