    SOLVED: Karamba 3D Desktop Clock Mystery

    I just updated my Ubuntu desktop to Kubuntu 9.04 and KDE 4.3.2.

    1. I am intermediate basic user and can enter pre-constructed commands in a terminal window and perform basic searches.
    2. I am fairly comfortable with most any UI/Desktop with minimal experience.
    3. I need help and I hope this is the right forum.

    Issue:
    -I found this great 3D clock widget from Karamba in the Add widget menu.
    -I added it and it looked GREAT on the desktop.
    -I shut down my IBM X31 laptop and re-started.
    ---The Karamba 3D Clock did not start. It mysteriously disappeared actually.

    Attempts to resolve:
    -I re-installed SuperKaramba packages along with a few other plasma widgets of interest. et al.
    -I tried going back to the widget menu to re-add the 3D Clock, but no Karamba choices at all. The Karamba selections were gone.
    -Refusing defeat, I searched on-line and found the same widget at kde-look.org and downloaded to my desktop. (The file is a .skz) I then tried to load locally with no success.

    Any ideas or direction would be great.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Is it possible that you need to run them first in Superkaramba?

      Thanks for the direction! I launched SuperKaramba and it is working.

        Great! If you find yourself needing to launch it every time you login, there is an Autostart option in System Settings -> Advanced, just for that.
