I have tried installing the Oxygen System Monitor into my Kubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) desktop. Everything appears to go well until I actually try to install the SuperKaramba theme in the Add Widgets dialog. I get an error dialog entitled "Installation Failure - Plasma Workspace" containing a not very helpful message, "Installing the package /home/bruce/temp/oxygen/oxygen.theme failed."

To the best of my ability to double-check all these things, I have installed all the dependencies and configured all the preliminaries, including lm-sensors and hddtemp.

Is there further testing I can do to trace the failure of the theme to install?

Please change line:
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 | grep 'ESSID' | awk '{print $4}' | sed -s 's/ESSID://'
to
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 | grep 'ESSID' | awk -F'"' '{print $2}' | sed -s 's/ESSID://'

The first one doesn't show whole ESSID while containing space.

The version available for download is version 0.5 (although it presents it as version 0.4). Where can I download version 0.7?

i love that widget/plugin/addon/whatever! :-)
even better, i customized it a bit for my needs, thank you for your great "basis"!

one thing: the amarok cover-fetching uses the old dcop thingie, which doesnt work with the newer amarok (here):
`dcop amarok player coverImage`

after much searching and trying i came so far:
`qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep arturl | sed 's/arturl: file:\/\///g' | ruby -ruri -p -e '$_=URI.decode$_' | sed 's/\&/\\\&/g'`

yes, very ugly long code for such a small task. this line returns the current artwork-filename (if exists). i didnt get the escaping right, therefore the last two sed commands.

oh, i just saw the "stop" button has some prob too. will have a look for that tomorrow..

thanks for this, keep up the good work, appreciated! :-)

Amarok2 still don't work.
I think, that should be dbus, not dcop.

I spent some time polishing this system monitor, and here is the result:

http://embraceunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/oxygen.skz

Amarok2 should work much better now, and the cover art should be displayed

The CPU temperature should also work much better

The HDD temp can be now be run without root privileges using netcat (may need to customize the alignment ie: change "cut -c33-34" based on where the temperature is in the output of "nc localhost 7634" ... currently set to the 33rd and 34th characters)

I also fixed a bunch of the text alignment

Be sure to have lm-sensors and hddtemp installed!

Thank you Kilah for your work!

This Oxygen variation contains only dynamic information, so takes less desktop space. It's made for a dual-cpu system and works fine on KDE 4.2.

Hi,

I have some problems tring to configure this plasmoids to load when KDE startup.

I'm using Debian sid with KDE4.1.3
I'm installed superkaramba for KDE4.

When I try to load the widget I select Super Karamba Themes and hit on the file. The plasmoid is installed but If I drop to desktop I have this message "Error initialization script"

If in konqueror I select the file and make open it with superkaramba the plasmoid loads without problem but when I reload the KDE sesion I need to load again manualy the plasmoid

How can I fix this behaviour?

Thanks,
GUAN

PS: Good job ;)

the time from what to hh:mm:ss ?

Because in script the time is :

font="Blue Highway" sensor=time format="hh:mm:ss" interval=1000 align=right
.

Thanks for information about amrok track. I will upgrade the script.

I can't get it to show cpu temp. I have lm_sensors installed and set up cause I get the read out in terminal when I type sensos-detect.
mobo: 780i nvidia
cpu: q6600 (quad)

Yes, I like it (even if it is a bit too big for my taste) but I think it's a superkaramba theme, not a plasmoid binary...

I have written a couple of bash scripts for DBUS data retrieval from Amarok and am successfully using them with this. You can use and modify them at will.

Do you want them? How do I go about getting them to you?

I agree. I used this previously with SK, but don't intend to take on the rest of the baggage just for this. Thanks to the author for his work, but hopefully he will update this for KDE4.

This isn't a true KDE 4 app as you're still using DCOP and on KDE 4 environments unless certain KDE 3 depends are installed to supply dcop, dcop is replaced by dbus and is no longer supplied. To be safe you should rewrite the Amarok portion to use dbus calls. I don't want to have to install KDE 3 for this little Karamba/Plasmoid to be fully functional.

I'd like to install crystal monitor, but it doesn't seem possible to install.

In the install plasmoid from file menu there are two options

1. Install native plasmoid
2. Install MAC OS plasmoid

In neither of these is it possible to install a *.skz file

Is there another way? My system stats follow

Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.1.61 (KDE 4.1.61 (KDE 4.2 >= 20080807)) "release 1.4"
Konqueror: 4.1.61 (KDE 4.1.61 (KDE 4.2 >= 20080807)) "release 1.4"

Linux version 2.6.25.11-0.1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2008-07-13 20:48:28 +0200
