how to install additional plasmoids/widgets

Re: how to install additional plasmoids/widgets

Hm, your permissions look fine.

And the du command is perhaps not so useful here. Try

df -h /tmp

first to see how much space you have left on your device. If there is plenty of it then we've got to look elsewhere. If your system is full you _may_ want to have a look at

du -c /tmp

to see which subdirectory in tmp is hogging space. Either delete it (if it is safe to so) or reboot.

df -h /tmp gives this:

/dev/sdb1       46G 7,1G  37G 17% /

And du -c /tmp gives this:

4    /tmp/.X11-unix
4    /tmp/.ICE-unix
4    /tmp/kde-primoz/closeditems
20   /tmp/kde-primoz
8    /tmp/ksocket-primoz
4    /tmp/gpg-i7qgJK
4    /tmp/plugtmp

4    /tmp/kde-root
4    /tmp/orbit-primoz
4    /tmp/ssh-FfVhzm8642

I don't think that it's that filled.
I would also like to ask how to add a installed from source stasks widget.
I don't find the "plasmoid" file to add.

I sometimes feel that my KDE is badly misconfigured for all the problems I have .

Whatever your problem may be, space it is not! I suggest you post on the new KDE forum - lots of devs on there who are ready and willing to help

How did you compile ?

Did you (stasks INSTALL file) ?

To install plasmoid unpack archive, go to it's main directory (applet/) and execute commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
make
sudo make install
kquitapp plasma && plasma

After that plasmoid should show up in add widgets dialog.

If the compilation was succesful - no errors - there should be

~/builddir/install_manifest.txt

/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_stasks.so
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-stasks.desktop

=>

Compilation should build ~/builddir/lib/plasma_applet_stasks.so and it should be installed to /usr/lib/kde4/

The "main" directory should have the plasma-applet-stasks.desktop (it is there before compilation). Installation should copy it to the /usr/share/kde4/services/.

The "Add Widgets" browser will show information from the plasma-applet-stasks.desktop. Earlier > Re: Could not find requested component (how to remove widgets from the "Add Widgets" list)

Re: how to install additional plasmoids/widgets

I guess I really "mis-compiled" it, as my /build/lib/ is empty...
Thanks for PPAs!
