Plasma does support Superkaramba?

[Joey Mendez]

I read everywhere that plasma has backward compatibility with Superkaramba. But when I install superkaramba widgets through the Plasma Desktop Shell (for example: EG-SysMon-QC it appears at the "Installed" but doesn't appears at the "Add Widget"

Karamba

Earlie - Karamba / Clocks: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...l=1#post321453

If you mean the http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=114504 it is on the wrong category. The EG-SysMon-QC is not a "Plasmoid Script". It is a "Karamba Theme" and it should be in the: http://kde-look.org/?xcontentmode=38

The theme can be downloaded (114504-EG-SysMon-QC.skz) and opened through the "Open Local Theme" action.

Thanks! The SuperKaramba was not installed in my Kubuntu 12.10, but after I installed it works.
But.. unfortunately I should modify some script, because most of it doesn't work properly on my system. Some shows the temperatures correctly, but apart from this not too informative (e.g. no partitions, only root), some would be informative, but doesn't show some temperatures. For example: Shows the Motherborard's temp next to CPU, doesn't show the HDDs temp, doesn't show the GPU's temp/frequency, etc.

Yes, I have installed lm-sensors and hddtemp and Nvidia proprietary driver, but it seems like the SuperKaramba themes highly depends on the author's system configuration and not adapt dynamically to the target-system.

Perhaps in the future will be native plasma System Monitors similar to the only existent KDE Plasma System Monitor.

And in the mean time we use Conky

And in the mean time we use Conky

When I replace the .conkyrc to this: http://conky.sourceforge.net/conkyrc-drphibes (I found in here)
It doesn't work. Why?

[Teunis]

Hmm, it's along time ago I fixed up my conky script.

In my experience you should start with something simple and then methodically add bits.
There can be a lot of difference because of hardware used.

It looks like this one:

This is the conkyrc I use:

# UBUNTU-CONKY

# A comprehensive conky script, configured for use on

# Ubuntu / Debian Gnome, without the need for any external scripts.

#

# Based on conky-jc and the default .conkyrc.
