- this is highly unlikely. As far as I understand the timer's working, if it crashes the plasmoid will stop refreshing. Since the timer is the only element that 'generates a loop' periodically, I can see no way to re-run the code outside of the timer.
About contacting plasma devs... Unless I will find out about other people reporting this bug also, I will not take further actions. This may very well be an isolated situation in your case. Plus, if you like this plasmoid, version 2, build on Ruby instead of Python is out, so I recommend using that.
I decided not to remove this one for those people which can not install ruby-plasma-engine for various reasons and prefer the python version.
Unless there is a reproducible (many times in many places) severe bug, I am not planning to further update this version of the plasmoid. - Jan 03 2012

I do not know, yet, why the degree symbol changes into '?'. It is a knows issue, but I have no idea why it happens. - Dec 28 2011

Thank you for the feedback! - Dec 18 2011
Tried to install from net, reinstall, install from file with plasmapkg.
It also doesn't show up in plasmoidviewer --list, however if I want to install it again with plasmapkg it says it's already installed.
Restarting X & KDE doesn't help either. - Jun 10 2011

Usually console messages are more detailed and I may be able to fix/modify it to solve your problem, too.
BTW I am running on Mandriva 2010.2 64bits and also on KDE 4.5.4. - Jan 05 2011

As I said in the description of the plasmoid, I do not have the time to make a settings window and options for this.
If there is someone keen to provide a patch I am happy to include it and release it, but I will not invest time into this. - Dec 31 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by patkoscsaba 35 comments
Just to be sure, uninstall the plasmoid first with this command from a console:
plasmapkg -r Simple-NVidia-Info
Then simply install it again. - Dec 31 2010

I am getting the temperature from the "thermalsesnor" property of nvidia-settings, maybe some version or card doesn't have this but it has "GPUTemp" property or something similar.
Since I have only one and my own video card to test on, all of you don't having the temperature please answer my request, otherwise I can't help you! - Dec 28 2010

So, don't worry, we are good.
However, as a next evolution of your script, you should make an interface for selecting sensors and auto-magically generate the script. Something like "gkrellm" can do.
This is an extremely good plasmoid for technical people (like me), but most of the users are "afraid" of, or just too lazy to modify files and build their own scripts. - Jan 25 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by finkandreas 301 comments
So, your instructions should be enough. Sorry for the file-selector request, it wasn't mentioned in your changelog, and I didn't tried the last version, yet.
Putting the script files in /etc/<something> I don't thing is a good idea because users may not have access to /etc/ ... may /usr/share/<somethnig> ... I will talk with the guy responsible for compiling it for MRB and I'll be back to you. - Jan 24 2010

However, this packaging opened a situation which led me to write you this feature request.
As you offer different scripts for YaSP (and I will send you more in the near future) you should reorganize them so that packaging can be done easily.
What I am thinking of is offer a file dialog for the user to select a specific script file. Also, you should offer a very basic default script, so that when the user first starts the plasmoid he/she can see something other than an empty box. The best would be just a simple memory+cpu monitor which is available on all systems.
The other thing for this to be more organized is that you should make a folder ~/.yasp.scripts and put all the scrips in there. In setting offer a file selection which defaults to that folder and users cans see all the other script files.
If you do this, packaging your program for different distributions will be much easier, and unexperienced users, who don't want to write their own scripts, will find out easily about the scripts and they will be able to test them without modifying/copying files.
Thanks. And very good work! - Jan 24 2010

So, YaSP is loaded before network is up, and it waits indefinitely on eth0. The sensor for Eth0Down is:
sensor name="Eth0Down" type="engine" cmd="systemmonitor:network/interfaces/eth0/receiver/data:value"
The sensor becomes available as soon as there is a network connection, but YaSP can't sense it. If the sensor would not come available, YaSP would fail on a restart of the plasmoid, too. But it doesn't, on second run, it gets the sensor correctly. - Jan 24 2010

I will try auto-scale as soon as I get home, I was thinking about this, too. - Jan 13 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by finkandreas 301 comments
I have nothing against you waiting infinitely, but let me reparse my script so I don't have to stop/start/reconfigure/rearrange the plasmoid or restart KDE if a sensor fails. - Jan 13 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by finkandreas 301 comments
If I right-click on it and select "Repars", than it starts parsing but fails at the first element and waits again indefinitely.
Restarting the plasmoid makes it work again.
For a frequently encountered example, I use Mandriva 2010 and KDE 4.3.4. Mandriva starts the graphical DE as soon as possible, so many times the network adapter is not yet connected when the KDE (and YaSP) is loading. The result is the above mentioned problem.
I would suggest to set a timeout in your script. If the parsing fails, just show an error and try again in a few seconds, so the plasmoid is not blocked waiting for something. - Jan 08 2010

As I said, I don't know how you made the icon thing. I did not check your code. If it's a QPixmap, loaded only once, that's perfect. I just thought to suggest something like this by not knowing the exact procedure you implemented. Yes, I could check the code, but I was too lasy ;)
Why icons for text? Why not, if it's easy to implement.
Thanks for the text type clarification. I always have a hard time figuring out QT documentation ;) - Dec 29 2009

I've sent you a mail with my script and screenshot.
And now, what I would like to be implemented in the future:
- icons for meters, charts and text
- I don't know how it is done, but icons should be cached in RAM, so the file is not re-read every time the "value" containing an icon refreshes
- it still uses pretty much resources if charts are updated faster than 4 secs.
- possibility to add value to Title, so I could add, for example, distribution name in the title.
- icons for titles
- I couldn't figure out how to make a font BOLD, it does not accept QFont parameters for bold. Font definition should be like QFont is: QFont ( const QString & family, int pointSize = -1, int weight = -1, bool italic = false )
- you could add "height" parameter for "Meters", too - Dec 29 2009

- for the same reason, it is unusable on a thin Panel
- volume control doesn't pop up near the volume button. Regardless where my plasmoids placed, volume control pops up somewhere in the middle of the screen.
- if you put the plasmoid on the desktop, than accidentally drag it over the Panel (as I did) it enters the Panel. This in fact is not bad, but, if you than drag it back to the desktop, you end up with a broken plasmoid. I had 2 lines of icons on it and none were working.
These are of course some little glitches, maybe they are also easy to fix... - May 12 2009

I love it now, on my laptop it integrates seemlessly into the desktop and it is not a resource hug ... well at least after the first 5 minutes.
I am curious if it remembers what I was listening to when I restart KDE (or the computer). I will not restart just for this, so I'll see tomorrow.
Great job, you have e new fan. - May 12 2009

If you don't have time to do it, just upload your current version somewhere and I'll modify the remaining parts.

BTW, I tried to enable voice. I installed Festival, the plasmoid says it's there, but I hear nothing when I click on the little blue icon in you plasmoid ... do I have to set up somethnig special with Festival? - Apr 23 2009

An one more little problem, with System Monitor plasmoid => Network Monitor, the text is unreadable. This brownish text on the very dark grey background is indistinguishable.
http://imagebin.ca/view/n9pYlt0.html
And I like the new addons ;) Battery meter looks really good, shutdown dialog is OK too (maybe to put an image on it, like the "moon" in Oxygen). - Apr 23 2009

However, I found a temporary solution. I tried to modify the clock.svgz and it seems like the deformation depends on the size of the image. I took your image, selected all elements and resized them to have an approximate 250 pixel in width. Than scaled the indicators to the same size of the background. Now, it looks good.
Than I tried to scale the image itself, I mean the virtual page you are drawing on, to be the same size, or just a little bit bigger than the clock. The problem came back instantly. So, this is a very strange behaviour and it depends on the size of the image raported to the size of the page. - Apr 15 2009
I've tried to:
- update theme
- uninstall/reinstall
- several logout/login between the above operations
Also, my Lancelot has white background for search, not black as in your screenshot ...
As I suspect the problem is on my part, I would really like some sugestions how to fix this.
I'm using Mandriva 2009 with KDE 4.2.1 and QT4.5 with all dependencies and developtment packages installed.
PS: The OLD Analog Clock did not have this problem. - Apr 14 2009
