Only three plasmoids?

[Snowhog]

Anyone else noticing that when you click Install New Widgets > Download from Internet that only three plasmoids are listed? I had previously seen many more.

Many more, but none of them worked (via the installer)... it has been one, and now three, for quite some time (a few weeks at least).

Maybe:

Earlier > Topic: How do I download / install widgets from the Internet?

There were more script plasmoids but:

It seems to download, to the /var/tmp/kdecache-<USER>/http/d/ BUT that's all.

... Fintan:

I think that this should answer that question:

>> aseigolasma is now feature complete?

Unfortunately those two scripts are packaged incorrectly and thus do not actually work with the automagic installation...

"Simple CPU MEM and NET monitor" is now a karamba application under the KDE-Look.Org

Re: Only three plasmoids?

The problem seems to be with how the underlying script 'polls' the designated location (URL). That's a pure guess of course.

This is the 'source' for http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff...-providers.xml

When you navigate to http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff.../plasmoids.xml you see:

92216 Cpu Frequency Selector 77 0xDeadC0de roguestar191@comcast.net GPL Simple python plasma applet designed to mimic the behavior of the gnome cpu frequency selector applet. It allows the user to select an available cpu frequency via the userspace governor, or another available governor to use. It is not yet integrated with policykit, which means a chown +s of cpufreq-set is required for now to use as non-root, which apparently can be a security flaw. Afaik the gnome applet has the same flaw. 0.1 2008-11-03 http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff...s/m92216-1.png http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff...ufreq.plasmoid 50 199 http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=92216

Which are the three plasmoids presented in the pick-list. Hmm.

Re: Only three plasmoids?

Well, I think I know what's going on, but not how to fix it. Based on the screenshot below, the Add Widgets... is only looking for scripts and not binaries on kde-look.
