    OpenSUSE like sysinfo in Kubuntu.

    Hello Kubuntu users,

    I moved to Kubuntu recently after using Ubuntu for a year and I am loving KDE.
    Today I saw OpenSUSE installed on a friend's laptop and noticed that there's "My Computer" icon in OpenSUSE which is quite handy, displaying very useful system information.
    After some research, I found this link on kde-apps.org:

    http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...?content=98808

    But the installation halts with an error at cmake.
    Below is the output after I type cmake... command

    inder@inder-laptop:~/Desktop/sysinfo-2.0/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config –prefix` ..
    kde4-config: Unexpected argument '–prefix'.
    kde4-config: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.
    CMake Error: The source directory "/home/inder/Desktop/sysinfo-2.0" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
    Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

    I would greatly appreciate any help from You guys.

    Thank You in advance for Your time and replies.

    Re: OpenSUSE like sysinfo in Kubuntu.

    The first step would be to replace the dash (–) before "prefix" with a hyphen-minus char (-):
    Code:
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config -prefix` ..
    The second step is to ensure your "build" directory is in the directory that contains CMakeLists.txt file (or adjust cmake path accordingly)

      @kubicle

      Thanx for the reply Mate.

      The problem persists. An error message occurs, as displayed below, when I type the command.

      inder@inder-laptop:~/Desktop/sysinfo-2.0/src/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config -prefix` ..
      CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (kde4_add_plugin):
      Unknown CMake command "kde4_add_plugin".


      CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
      No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as

      cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

      should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
      if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
      information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
      This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

      -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

      The build directory is in the directory that contains CMakelists.txt file. I tried adding "cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)" at the top of the CMakelists.txt file! to see if it works. But it didn't worked out.

      Thanx for Your time Sir.

        Check the CMakeLists.txt file, and if it doesn't have a line like:
        find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)
        add it to the beginning of the file.

        If that doesn't help or you get other errors (you don't have to worry about the 'cmake_minimum_required' warning, it's a developer notification and shouldn't affect building), post back. (you might need to install some -dev packages...if you haven't already installed them)

        Another option is to install a precompiled package from (for example) rog's ppa (rog is a kubuntuforum regular with an excellent ppa repository)...the package is named kio-sysinfo, and you can grab the installable .deb file (i386 or amd64), or add the ppa as a repository with "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:samrog131".

          That helped!

          I added the repository and installed it via package manager.
          Working perfectly !
          Thanx a lot for Your replies. I appreciate Your help Sir.

            I just installed this from the .deb file, but how do I use it? I can't seem to find it any where....

                Re: OpenSUSE like sysinfo in Kubuntu.

                And then you can add a launcher and make it open up sysinfo:/ when you click it Or if you don't use Konqueror as your default browser, you can just make it your homepage, so every time you open Konqueror, it displays sysinfo

                  It's working fine, I kind of like it even if it's being displayed on Konqueror.

                      But there's no way to get this to show up in Dolphin?

                        Why would you expect it would? Dolphin is a file manager, not a browser. The KIO Sysinfo presents it's information via a web page interface.

                          Dolphin does support many kioslave functions, but not sysinfo (yet)
