8 great widget, would love to have the option to apply my own color scheme though
9 9 excellent. I love this widget, but I have one issue with it. I really would like the transparency option to only affect the background and not the text... Having a translucent terminal with solid text over my wallpaper would be fantastic. It works flawlessly though, so I am still very happy with it.
8 In Debian the Ubuntu-way works also. I like this helpfull widget.
The arch archive link (https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/q/qmltermwidget/_64.pkg.tar.xz) is wrong and at https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/q/qmltermwidget/ I can only find the 0.2.0 package which crashes plasma
Can't type, when I type desktop search opens up.
9 Exactly what I needed. Thanks mate.
Hello. On KDE Neon (Ubuntu 18.04) - and when I installed the cool-retro-term' package per the instructions below, I still get the error below. Any ideas?
You would need to either reboot or restart plasmashell after installation of "cool-retro-term" package.
Hi! I can't use this plasmoid. It says that QMLTermWidget is not installed. I try to install: "sudo apt install qml-module-qmltermwidget" but doesn't found it. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Please try installing the "cool-retro-term". It provides qmltermwidget in the package. You would need to add a PPA. Steps: For Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, Linux Mint 19 and higher, use this PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vantuz/cool-retro-term sudo apt update sudo apt install cool-retro-term For Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18 series, use this PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps sudo apt update sudo apt-get install cool-retro-term
Let me know if this works. I will update the description here.
Hey! It works perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04. Thanks!
On an Ubuntu system the user mus be running "Zesty" or newer, as the qml-module-qmltermwidget1.0 app is not available on older versions, including LTS. Just a heads-up.
It is quite nice, but lacks two features: 1) Restart plasmoid command without restarting whole plasmashell. 2) Could have button form in panel.
Hi Herrbatka, You can use the v0.3 run a shell and since keyboard input now works, you can re-run any commands. Will explore the button form as well.
