Ubuntu :: Community Plasmoid Thingy Is Broken On 64-bit Kubuntu 11.04 Syste
Jun 9, 2011
The Community plasmoid widget thingy is broken on my 64-bit Kubuntu 11.04 system. The last time it worked was sometime in the 10.04 era. I will gratefully receive any suggestions for fixing it.The symptoms are these: It opens with three tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages. I expect this.There are no entries in the "Nearby" tab. When I log into opendesktop.org w/Firefox, I can see about a dozen people nearby in my town.When I click on the configuration button, it shows me my username and obscured password for opendesktop.org.When I click on the widget again, it there are more tabs! "Friends" and "Messages" are repeated twice each, giving me seven tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages.When I click on the configuration button again, the username and password fields are empty.

I received an update yesterday and now my analog clock plasmoid is no longer functional. It's strange too because when I change a setting in the plasmoid, it'll magically come to life. I ran plasma-desktop in terminal to catch an error output, but nothing came up.
Useful info:

Opensuse 11.2

I have been using Ubuntu for a week and getting on well with it. After reading reviews I decided to try Kubuntu. I installed it from the terminal and all seemed to go well. Now when I start the computer and select ubuntu it goes to a log in screen. I type in my user name and password and all I get is a terminal screen in the top left. If I close this I go through a 'broken screen' and back to the sign in.

When I got Ubuntu 10.04 beta the first thing I did was to uninstall Empathy as it was crashing a lot and I was used to some other application.Currently I want to use Empathy and reinstalled it.My problem is that instead of chat conversations "merge" with the evolution envelope icon Empathy seems to have it's own static icon. It's annoying because the icon is the same "green orb" whether I have a new message or not. The problem is not the version (2.30.0.1) as a personal friend has the same version and has it working fine.I already searched google and forums and tried re-installing empathy, indicator-applet, indicator-messages or evolution-indicator, cleaning cache and all.

When I started using Fedora (with Gnome) a week ago, I noticed a key symbol in the system tray, or however you call that in the linux world ;-). I can't remember what it was called, but it appeared after I loaded a program or administrative function that required root privileges. If I understand correctly there's a certain timeout after you put in the root password that allows you to run more than one program with elevated privileges so you don't have to put in the root password all the time. I remember reading somewhere that you can change that timeout. This key symbol basically was a "screw the timeout, i'm done being root".
This key symbol doesn't appear anymore though and I'd really like it back.
I'm pretty sure, I didn't do anything to make it go away, as I didn't play around with any security settings.
It was a little tricky to search for this as I can't recall the actual name of this... key thingy..

What is the procedure to install the qalculate plasmoid? I followed the procedure given at the developer's site , [URL] but the install fails at the cmake step.
KDE official site says that it 'd be included by default in KDE 4.4+ but it is not there in kubuntu 10.04

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 3 Initially FireFox was absolutely fine, But recently It became utterly slow. I searched plenty of forums and tweaked the about:config and played around with ipv6. Some threads suggested downgrading some x-video thingy coz of an update sadly I haven't got a clue how to downgrade, in addition all these threads were talking about rather old OpenSuse versions. I installed the newest Nvidia driver as some suggested it might have to do with the desktop effects, actually I just turned them off (literally just this moment) and FF ran utterly quick, hmm I would like to keep em though. Does this mean i need to downgrade that xorg-X11-driver-video thingy? I don't seem to have a downgrade option I can only update delete and so on...When clicking on versions it doesn't show any of the 7.3 only 7.4s. I kind of depend on some firefox plug-ins which is why I would rather not use another browser..

so have used the kde screen edge thingy once for Firefox with another application, but now every time that i launch Firefox it uses the half window option and have to maximise it every time. Is there any way to tell KDE that I wish to use maximised screen every time that Firefox launches.
Have tried putting Firefox window to middle so screen edge would maximise window, then close Firefox that it would save that setting, but not listening. Does it maybe have something to do with Kwin?

When kubuntu is installed, there is a plasmoid desktop (a kind of transparent window that enables one to create and store links to applications). Nice and convenient.
Alas, the special desktop is easily hidden - permanently... Soon after the installation I inadvertently clicked the X on the plasmoid desktop pop up menu and that hid this special desktop.
In the file manager (Dolphin) I can still see the Desktop with all the links to applications, which are still active (I can run the applications by clicking their icons).
Surely there is a simple way to restore this plasmoid again to the view, but I just do not find how..
If you have kubuntu, you too can have "the fun" of hiding the plasmoid dekstop and then finding how to show it again. Just place you mouse pointer on the plasmoid desktop. That will pop up the menu with X, shift-spanner, turning and resize buttons. If you are brave, try to click X on the pop up menu. Bingo, the plasmoid disappears. Surely fingers more nimble than mine, would find out how to get it back... I can not.
how did you restore the plasmoid to the view.

openSUSE 11.4 64 bitsI have "sensors" package installed and configured with sensors-detect.The cpu temperature monitor plasmoid worked on kde 4.6.0 without problems but after installing 4.6.2 the monitor do not show any info.By running "sensor" from konsole I can see the temperature for both processors so it seems to be something related with the kde update

I had to reload my openSuSE 11.1 and reloaded KDE 4.3.4 from KDE Repositories and did an unconditional update on KDE Core and Community to ensure I got all the current versions back.
I am now having an issue with at least two plasmoids that is regularly used. When I attempt to add them to the desktop, I get the message "component not found". This happens to at least these two, yasp and yawp for system status and weather. It may happen to others, I haven't tried.
They are both loaded and both are present in /usr/share/kde4/services. I removed them using YaST, then rebooted, then re-added them, then rebooted and still get the same result, component not found.

I'm just curious as to where I can find an Eye Dropper plasmoid for my KDE 4.4 Desktop. I'm pretty sure I had one installed and working a few weeks ago before I reinstalled, but I can't seem to find one anywhere.
So, do any of you have a link or anything to where I can find an Eye Dropper / Color Chooser plasmoid? It doesn't actually have to be a plasmoid, I just need one that isn't tied to a specific application.

Every time I get an email, I receive a couple of notifications for that email and the notification sound plays twice as well. If I disable the notifications for gmail plasmoid, I don't get any notifications at all - which means that the double notifications are really triggered by gmail plasmoid.

I had some difficulty getting Plasmoid to work on to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise Network. The Cert file is in DER format which is something like this "XXXX.cer" After I filed a bug report I got a respond to try the updated Plasmoid from this Repo:
Index of /repositories/KDE:/UpdatedApps/openSUSE_11.4 To use it you have to first install your certificate in openssl using terminal. First copy the certificate into the ssl directory (In OpenSUSE it is /etc/ssl/certs/)
1) sudo cp path_to_file /etc/ssl/certs/Then install it (If you don't do this it will fail) Source:http://gagravarr.org/writing/openssl...tml#Installing
2)sudo ln -s filename_of_certificate `openssl x509 -hash -noout -in filename_of_certificate`.0
3)Then after that when using Plasmoid to connect check the box use system certificate.
It should work like it worked for me but I still think certificate handling needs a lot of improvement.Pointing the cert directly from plasmoid does not work.

After digging around in vain in my local .kde4 I am unable to find where the RSSNow plasmoid stores the feeds. It apparently wants to keep them secret forever.
(Man - Plasmoids are okay, but the utter lack of documentation for them makes them far less useful than then could be.)

XP Pro SP3
Ubuntu 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10
Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?

I would like to contribute to Linux community (development of OSes, applications, etc...) somehow, but I don't know how... My interest is to get back to the community the joys they have given me over the years, and to extend my knowledge in Linux.I have 5+ years of user and sys admin level of experiences with UNIX/Linux, and some programming skills in Perl/PHP/C. I enjoy finding and fixing problems.Maybe I can start testing OSes or applications? Would anyone have any suggestions for me where or how to start? I would like to hear opinions from anyone who is doing or has done so.

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?
