OpenSUSE :: Where To Find KDE Shelf Widget?

Feb 8, 2011

I'm always struggling with desktop space. Widgets like Folder View and the ability to use the multiple virtual desktops are very helpful for me. I found an article about the KDE Shelf widget which I would love to have as another organizational tool but I can't seem to find it.I am a bit of a newbie with KDE and with Linux in general but I have found and added many widgets with no problem. I have been using computers for about 16 years and I'm pretty tech savvy (but unfortunately my skills have all been learned through Windows and some with Mac in college).

When I go to Add Widgets and type "shelf" in the search withing openSUSE KDE I get no results. I also checked on kde-look.org and an overall Google search but I'm not having any luck.

Fedora :: Shelf Life Of Files On USB Flash Drive?

Oct 16, 2010

still would like to see some actual LAB DATA - but the info here is satisfactory as a "general rule of thumb". I was wondering if I put files on a USB flash drive & left it sit on the shelf, how long it would be before those files would start to deteriorate? - This would have nothing to do with the read/write cycle as in the "shelf time" it wouldn't be used.

Jul 25, 2010

So after installing 11.3 for some reason I cleared all the widgets off my desktop. When I add the folder view widget to the desktop again so I can see my desktop iconsthe widget doesn't show my icons unless I click on it and they drop down. Without clicking on it, the widget shows the desktop icon (similar to the "show desktop" icon)

OpenSUSE :: KDE Plasma Desktop Calendar Widget 1.0

Feb 6, 2011

I have been enjoying my newly installed openSuse installation for the past two weeks. I used it to run on a free computer I received so I didn't have to purchase that other operating system. It has come a long way since my last tinkering with linux/unix in college 12 years ago!I think that I noticed a problem with the calendar widget 1.0. When you change the month, the days don't update in the calendar.

OpenSUSE :: Comic Strip Widget Is Too Small To Read?

Apr 5, 2010

I'm having some difficulties with the comic strip widget that I use to keep me updated on Dilbert. It started out in ok-ish size, a little small, but readable. Now the entire strip takes up 3x3 cm, totally unreadable. Is there anyway to fix that?

Here is a screeshot of it:

OpenSUSE :: Logout / Lock Widget Display On Panel

Jun 22, 2010

I remember this was discussed some time ago but I cannot find the thread any more. I was just wondering if others are still seeing the same problem . I've had this all through 4.4.3 and now with 4.4.4. For some reason if only the logout or lock button is selected and placed on the far right of the panel then part of the button is chopped off. This only happens with the panel locked. If both buttons are selected then they display correctly. I also notice that when only one button is selected that it's size is slightly smaller than when both are selected. Also it only seems to be the logout/lock widget that has this problem.

OpenSUSE :: KDE-new & Recent Devices-widget-bad Behavior After Optical PATA-SATA Swap

Feb 2, 2011

openSUSE 11.3, 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop, KDE 4.4.x, 3.0-P4, 2.5g mem. I replaced PATA-OEM optical drive with SATA-OEM works fine with all apps outside of and except with this widget. No problems until the swap. I have performed some updates and I have not put the PATA drive back in to see if the behavior changed because it was failing. It could be an update but the optical drive swap is my first suspect. This now. If I hover cursor over notifier widget icon "last plugged in device" will pop up with accurate last device until a click on the widget icon and selection of action for the recently plugged in device. Selected actions work fine ... once.

Then it no longer updates the new or retains the previous DVD/CD (or any USB external drive when connected) entry. Closing after viewing but with out selecting an action results in an empty list also. The menu remains empty there after and only removal of the widget and reinstall makes the devices appear again ... once. Then the behavior repeats if the widget is removed and reinstalled. I was wondering if this is likely to be a udev/rules.d problem related to the swap of the optical drives? The 70-persistant-cd.rules file shows two cd's after the swap:

[Code]...

If I delete or rename the 70-persistant-cd.rules file in udev/rules.d will it truly be recreated at boot and might it this fix the issue? Should I look elsewhere first at some var logs for errors? Reinstall 11.3 and let auto detect and config sort it out is also and option but I'd rather not, heh.

OpenSUSE :: Unable To Close "X" On A Widget?

Feb 13, 2010

I've been playing with KDE's plasma desktop, getting things organization and such. For the most part, I really like it. I have one annoying problem. I'm not sure what it is called, but widgets have a component that slides out and allows you to configure, rotate, move, and close the widget. All is good, except I keep clicking the X and removing it. I have to open another folder view widget and configure it again. Argh! I know why I do it, in my head I'm thinking X closes this slider part (no it closes the widget!). The slider part is kind of sticky and sometimes I want it to close ASAP..., and that X is just staring at me :-) It is further complicated by the close on a Panel's settings. If I click the cashew on the TaskManager panel, a part slides out so I can configure the TaskManager panel, and to close it I can click the cashew again, or the little "x" in the red box. The panel isn't removed, just the part that slides out is closed. Unfortunately, "x" on the panel and "x" on a widget means two different things.

Has anyone run into a KDE configuration option to disable the close on a widget? I know if I lock all widgets the slider part is gone, and I do lock them. But, there are certain widgets that are too important and you just want to set them up, leave them alone, and adjust them as necessary.

Also, has anyone changed the defaults for widgets in the Add Widgets Dialog? If so, where is that done? I'd like the Folder View widget to always have specific icon settings, text settings, icon arrangement, so when I actually add the widget they are already set the way I need them for 90% of the cases.

Fedora :: Odd Widget And Desktop Behavior?

Jan 22, 2011

I'm running KDE on Fedora 13 and was trying to alter some display settings so that the windows wouldn't maximize when dragged to the edge of the screen. I did that, but at one point "Kwin" crashed, and now there's some odd things happening.

1. I get the "drag me" palm when I'm mousing over the desktop and if I click, I can drag the background around as if it were a window.

2. My "maximize" "minimize" and "close" buttons don't work.

3. It appears nothing in the titlebar of windows works: can't drag them, can't shade or do anything "clickable" -- close, min, max, nothing works.

I tried returning the settings to their original state but it didn't help.I tried restarting the computer too, and that didn't help. I'm guessing something crashed and a setting got hard set that shouldn't be. I'm also guessing that if I rename a .kde/something folder it will reset to defaults. What .kde folder should I play with?

Ubuntu :: KDE 'smart' Widget Arrangement

Sep 19, 2010

Kubuntu 10.04 x86. I've got a working triple monitor arrangement, separate X displays tied together via xinerama, which is all well and good (within the limits of xinerama, anyway; I long for the day when spanning desktop space, multiple monitors on multiple adapters, and X compositing can all live in harmony...) except for how KDE handles widgets. Love KDE, haven't had a second thought since switching from Gnome earlier this year, except for this one reach-for-the-shotgun issue.I like to have whatever I'm working on presently on my center monitor, my e-mail open on my right monitor, and various apps (torrent client, IM client, and a sort of 'status display' of arranged desktop widgets) on the left. KDE, on the other hand, does not like things this way.

KDE, it appears, has pretensions at being a GUI designer; it won't let me arrange widgets on my desktop the way I want to position them. If I put one in the top left corner, it'll snap into place. OK, fine; if I put another widget right below that first one, it automatically indents both of them, usually one in further than the other. Adding additional widgets to the arrangement usually but not always causes KDE to keep indenting - it's not stair-step bad, but it's obvious things don't line up which makes it visually distracting. It seemingly-randomly decides that I can't put a widget in a particular location on the screen and snaps it back to the size and location it was in when it first appeared on the screen (or before I moved it, if it was already there). It's not an overlap-detection problem; sometimes it's perfectly OK with me overlapping widgets, sometimes it won't even allow widgets to be within some apparently-randomly-chosen number of pixels of one or more of the widgets already on-screen. Sometimes it'll regard an aligned cluster of widgets as a single entity and snap to edges... with no rhyme or reason as to which clusters and which edges. When working with widgets in close proximity to each other, the 'edge-bars' that contain the buttons with which one can drag and manipulate the widgets; again, with little-to-no discernible pattern, sometimes they appear over the widget next to it, sometimes underneath the widget next to it (making the edge-bar completely useless), sometimes clicking the widget brings its edge-bar to the foreground, sometimes the widget needs to be dragged to a different part of the desktop or a different monitor then re-positioned in the cluster for the edge-bar to be in the foreground, sometimes the widget has to be removed and re-added to get the edge-bar into the foreground. When I rebooted just now, my widgets were randomly scattered across the desktop, despite having had "Lock Widgets" turned on throughout (since a few days ago, actually; the last time I had to re-re-re-rearrange things).Basically, from what I can tell from several months of observation, KDE has some sort of automatic widget arranging 'feature' which a) doesn't work properly and b) has no bloody off switch. All this makes what should be the simple, five-minute task of resizing and lining up some widgets by hand into an hour-long test of the elasticity of my vascular system. I'm fine with there being new or experimental or even buggy features in my GUI... so long as I can turn them off when I need to.

I've done the requisite googling and have come up empty. I've looked everywhere in the GUI I can think of, but no luck. I don't yet know enough about KDE to know where to look in the conf files to hack around it by hand. Could someone please tell me how to dike out or simply turn off this blitheringly-stupid widget auto-positioning drunken &*#^$*@#%$^&% wart so that I, the human, can put things where I want them on the screen?It's also baffling that I can only resize a Plasma widget up and away from its edge-bar when most every other window in most every other environment I've ever seen, including KDE, will let you resize by dragging any border in any direction. Big. Step. Backward. If anybody knows a way to fix this I would be most interested in hearing it, but I'll make do if given a way to turn off what I've come to think of as KDE's "layout critic mode".
