Hi there,

I cannot build with the sources for the version 2.4.0 under kubunutu 16.04, with qt 5.5.1.
Cmake commande seems to work, with the following command:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON ../sources/

However, the make command doesn't work and give me this :

[...]

(Sorry for french locale)
So: Is there something I can do to make it compile?

just have two questions:

1. Why did you use old version (actual one is 3.*)?
2. What is the your plasmashell version?

Report

1. Because apparently, build with 3.x is impossible, due to 16.04 not having qt 5.6 but 5.5 instead.
2. Plasmashell 5.5.5

sorry, missed your comment.

First of all I should note that I officially provide:
a) patches for old qt version (may be found in directory patches with quick instruction how to use it)
b) I provide Ubuntu 16.04 compiled packages for some time (at least they work on Kubuntu versions)

Regarding to your issue. I've looked one more time on your error and it seems to be related to one old component which is not used anymore. Probably I may provide you patch if you wish, but I would recommend you use the newest versions instead :)

Hello,

I can't make it work on Netrunner 16 (Kubuntu 15.04 derivative)

I followed the instructions but I have this error:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of the following names:

Qt5Config.cmake
qt5-config.cmake

I tried with -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON but that don't work too

I make it works. It needed to install this :

$ sudo apt-get install cmake extra-cmake-modules build-essential qtbase5-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5service-dev plasma-framework-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5notifications-dev

This problem has reappeared again. HDDTemp works without root priviledges (without sudo) from the command line.

It displays the following on the hddtemp line:

[hddtemp: $hddtemp0℃]

hi,
thank you for the report. Yep, there was small typo from version 1.8.2 (when I've added temperature units). It should be fixed in the current version (1.10.2), at least it works for me.

BTW, you may now configure hddtemp cmd from configuration interface.

Хорошо бы добавить clementine в список плэеров, там достаточно строчек по аналогии с амароком:
qdbus org.mpris.clementine /Player GetMetadata
qdbus org.mpris.clementine /Player PositionGet

ответил на этот пост, потому что сайт ограничивает количество ответов.

Во первых, по идее, запущенные процессы должны убиваться. Причем через некоторое короткое время. По крайней мере, к следующему запросу у меня уже не наблюдается процесса, который проверял в предыдущий раз. Если это не так, значит да, это не нормально и надо разбираться.
Во вторых, опять же, по идее, кастомная команда не должна решать этой проблемы =)

в том-то и дело, что они не убиваются, поэтому и смастерил костыль

в гите есть версия с пробным фиксом (идея в том, чтобы не запускать команды для тех плееров, информация с которых не нужна). Попробовал перенести настройки плеера из виджета в dataengine. С точки зрения настроек почти ничего не поменялась (хотя плеер надо будет выбрать повторно и теперь он на последней вкладке).

По идее, должно быть эквивалентно вашему решению (т.о., если ваш фикс подходит, то и этот должен тоже подходить)

работает
но тут другая подстава : при включении показывания плэера, плодятся зомби от плазмы, с интервалом в секунду
и с клементином и с амароком
это только у меня?

Да, это нормально (в смысле так и задумано).
Некоторые поля (gpu, hddtemp, custom, player, ps, pkgmanager) задействуют самописный dataengine, который, в отличии от стандартных системных, вызывает внешние команды (а иначе никак). Насчет секудны не уверен - но, по идее, команды должны вызываться только по запросу, а значит интервал появления зомби - установленный интервал обновления.

Report

по-моему, всё-таки не очень нормально:), за одну песню появятся больше сотни зомби, а за дни непрерывной работы - и не сосчитать.
я решил пойти другим путём, считываю и вывожу теги через custom command:
qdbus org.mpris.clementine /Player GetMetadata|awk '/artist:/{for (i = 2; i <= NF; i++) printf "%s ", $i;printf "%s",":"};/title:/ {$1="";print }'

Приветствую, и еще раз спасибо за тулзу. Хочу спросить, можно ли сделать так. чтобы ширина плазмоида не скакала в зависимости от количества цифр в показаниях датчиков? Ну, то есть как бы зафиксировать длину?

Greetings, and thank You again. I would to know, is it possible to set plasmoid's width fixed, despite sensor's values?
