URLs of xml/rss files have changed so they don't work just right from the beginning. you have to dig a little bit to make it wornikg.
the browsers were always problematic, and as i remember, i've never sovled it. - Apr 14 2007

SuperKaramba 0.32 fixes this "cycling" problem.
Upgrade your SK to version 0.32 and let me know if it is ok now. - Sep 04 2003

NO you don't have to wait :)
Just install Python 2.3, then make a symlink named libpython2.2.0.so.0.0 pointing to your new libpython2.3.0.so.1.0 library in /usr/lib dircetory, and it is done!
Now you can install SuperKaramba and run all themes. :)

Hi,
I've found that and this is what the author said:
"This is caused by a bug in the meterClicked callback in superkaramba, which seems to affect certain distro's (ie Suse 8.2 and Gentoo). [...] you will not get a hand when you hover over the weather images. This is because, in order to fix the bug, I have implemented the click mechanism without using the meterClicked callback."

Well, i'm not planning to implement my own clicking mechanism. Sorry. If it is a bug - go to the SuperKaramba authors, which probably already know that bug, and (probably again) will fix it in future release. - Aug 29 2003

Well, i've got an idea :)
PNM was never tested (by me of course) on resolution higher that about 1100 (i mean not 1280).
Try to lower the resolution and maby i'd solve the problem or at least give us some clue. - Aug 22 2003

If you have read the INSTALL instructions, you would know that CONFIGURE/MAKE/MAKE INSTALL is NOT REQUIRED and even more - it si WRONG.
All that you need is to RUN ./install file with necessary parameter "r" or "l" - depending on which side of your desktop you would like PNM have been installed. - Jul 30 2003

Well, you have the right to disagree :)
This is Free Internet, isn't it?

But, still I remain with my opinion - it is useless do do things like that with SK - if you REALLY need that - use Karamba - what do you need python here for?

Concerning comments - yes, i've posted something - take a look http://www.kdelook.org/content/show.php?content=6186.
I suppose that this theme is quite popular and remains on its position for 2 months, i suppose ;P

What do you need SK for?
Creating such a theme makes Sk obsolete.
I don't like it.

You don't have to modify anything :)
Just prepare the plugin directory and palce it in PNM3/news with appriopriate number in dirname.
Which sites are compatible?
Everyone :)
But the easiest are those which publish their news in xml/rss/rdf format. Others are more complicated, so you can send me the url and i'll check it for you or even prepare it for PNM3.
Look at the top of this page to see where is a separate project for plugins only.
Most of plugs will be removed from this (PNM3) project and moved there. - Jun 10 2003

Hi there,
Just a little hint.
To AUTODETECT the users screen resolution you can use this function:

# Autodetect the resolution, thanks to Adam Geitgey!
havexwi = os.system("which xwininfo 2>&1 > /dev/null")
if (havexwi == 0):
pass
else:
if debug == 1:
print "\nCan't find xwininfo in your path."

fp = os.popen("xwininfo -root -stats")
output = fp.read()
output = output.splitlines()
i = 0
for x in output:
param = x.split()
if (len(param) > 1):
if param[0].find("Width:") != -1:
if debug == 1:
print param[1]
resX = int(param[1])
if param[0].find("Height:") != -1:
if debug == 1:
print param[1]
resY = int(param[1]) - Jun 09 2003
Glas News 'Universal RDF'

Karamba & Superkaramba by GeniusR13 15 comments

sure, this is your right :)
i just wanted to say that you do not give the users of your theme the possibility to use EVERY site they want.
PNM3 does.

on the top of .py file is a variable "browser"
you should set it to one that suits to you - Jun 07 2003

Karamba & Superkaramba by GeniusR13 15 comments

OK. Everything is fine as long as u get the RDF file :)
But problems come with no-RDF sites like on many pages from Eastern Europe.
But in general - i like the idea :) - Jun 06 2003

It's becouse the position (x,y,w,h) are written into $HOME/.superkaramba/THEME_NAME.rc file
every time you start SK those data are read and applied. it doesn't matter how much you change data in .theme file - it wouldn't work anyway. - May 29 2003
Scheduler for Superkaramba

Karamba & Superkaramba by trtmrt 34 comments

Instead of making the user to change the paths ;) use a variable like:
variable = karamba.getThemePath(widget) - to get full path to directory with your theme.
variable_sub = variable + "/subdir" - to get somewhere inside that directory :)
just a little advice ;) - May 27 2003

Karamba & Superkaramba by maciunio 95 comments

no. u missunderstood me.
do not run the ".py" script but write the following command in shell:
"/path_to/superkaramba PNM.theme"
beeing in the PNM directory

before that, set debug to 1 - May 24 2003

Karamba & Superkaramba by maciunio 95 comments

Yes. this is a bug to be corrected, but it seams that the problem is within the SuperKaramba sources.
In this case (polish encoding) there should work a command like 'locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "pl_PL.UTF-8")' but it is not. It changes the setting but it has nothing to do with our panel.
Well... for now we have to wait until the problem is solved. :( - May 23 2003

If you don't have some perl modules, execute CPAN shell by:
perl -MCPAN -e CPAN::shell
and then install missing modules by:
install HTML::TokeParser
install LWP::Simple - May 22 2003

So install HTML::Parser module.
if your perl cannot find it - that means you don't have it or it is not in the shown path :)

it is written. - May 21 2003

don't use "perl -W"
just run the script - it has all needed in its header
i've checked it and with "perl -W ./rp.pl" i geterates such an error as yours, without "-W" - works fine - May 20 2003

You don't need to be a root to run superkaramba :) nor any theme for it.
Just leave file permissions to main theme files as they are (chmod 0644), catalog perm too (0777 ???) and the most important - perms to perl scripts MUST be 4755 (setuid perl).
Set the owner of all files and cats to a regular user.
If you want to run superkaramba whet KDE starts - write a script (maby in sh and as a reg user) with a command like "/path/to/bin/superkaramba /path/to/file.theme &", set chmod a+x on it and put the file in /home/user/.kde/Autostart/ catalog. Should be enough :) - May 16 2003

Yes, you're right, of course.
All polish language msgs should be sent on private emails.
Sory for that :)

BTW. Correct me if i'm wrong, but in the European Pariment all delegates might speak in their own languages, right?
