Concerning Eeepc Tray and the way to control it in KDE

[Guest]

As recommended on the french site of Ubuntu, I installed the eeepc tray in order to slow my CPU freq and increase the autonomy. I'm speaking of this version:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eeep...il/1.1-stable/

The problem is, now that I don't have wifi anymore and I can't use the "cute" GNOME applet to swich wifi on when I need it. I planed to control it with this

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...content=102944

=> 2 questions:
1) Is it the proper app to do it?
2) How to fix the problem with kubuntu?

I quote the creator of this plasmoid
"Note: If you are using a (k)ubuntu system, you may not have the kdesu command. If this is so, you can either:
- Edit contents/main.py and replace the 'kdesu' in line 47 with 'kdesudo'.
- Or symlink kdesu to kdesudo."

=> What is he exactly speaking about?
Thanks,

Re: Concerning Eeepc Tray and the way to control it in KDE

The problem is explained here, along with a solution that makes kdesu work by creating a symbolic link to the currently used kdesudo command.

kdesudo is now the proper way to call sudo from a Konsole or command line from a Kubuntu KDE4 desktop.

Thaks fot the promptness of your answer, GreyGeek

What did he meant exactly by "linking /usr/bin/kdesu to /usr/bin/kdesudo (KDE3 version)"? How am I supposed to do such a thing? (sounds like a philistine, I know...).

Is something like that the proper way to do it?
$ ln -s/usr/bin/kdesu /usr/bin/kdesudo

Shall I be able to control eeepc tray whis this plasmoid?

Create symlinks using the command below:

ln -s filename linkname

The filename refers to the file you wish to access, while linkname refers to the name of the symlink file.

(Note the space after the -s)
