[SOLVED] KDE Applet Question

Hi All,
I have read the Arch wiki KDE page several times now and there is something I just can't work out.
I have NetworkManager installed (not KnetworkManager).
I also have kdeplasma-applet-networkmanagement installed.
however, I can't any applet's working.
typing nm-applet returns command not found at the terminal.
and I have no /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop file...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Many Thanks

nm-applet is gnome's network-manager-applet. kdeplasma-applet-networkmanagement works like other plasma applets - you have to add it to the panel or the notification area.

    I'm a little surprised by the implied rating of this problem... it's a plain to-way merge. You can use the same template as for the merging step in merge sort:
    public boolean linearIn(int[] outer, int[] inner) {
      int i = 0;

  • [solved]Removing applet from kdemod [my bad]

    Well I had a clean install of KDE mod, tried to install xfce, then E, rebooted broke X, tried to troubleshoot, gave up reinstalled, messed that up, next day, reinstalled again.....
    Went back to kde mod for now, but I have a question.
    While trying to add an application to the panel, I accidentally added an applet "System monitor". How in the heck do I remove it, as it isn't nearly as informative as conky, or anything else for that matter...
    Right clicking  and removing isn't there, when I right click on it.
    Thanks in advance, and btw I think I may have learned a thing or two during the last two re-installs, lol.

    It would have been nice if you wrote how you solved the problem: this way it will be a reference for future users with the same issue.
    futureguy "Cool, this guy had my same problem, let's see how he solved it!"
    you "Nevermind, I solved it!"
    futureguy "Damn!"
    Even if this was a trivial problem (as you probably forgot to unlock the panel), you can't really say.

  • [SOLVED]KDE 4.2 / Amarok (2?)

    What happened to Amarok then? I could install and use it in KDEMod but in KDE 4.2? Nope. I really don't want to use Amarok 2, namely because it wouldn't compile and I think it's too much effort to sort out for an app that most people don't enjoy.
    Is there any way of using Amarok from the repos? I have installed it but it is nowhere to find. I realise there is a very similar topic to this, but I wanted to ask a specific question.

    It just doesn't seem to exist anywhere. o_o
    Edit: A reboot did the trick for some reason. That was strange! Marked as solved.
    Reboot is not needed... run kbuildsyscoca4 next time, this will re-parse all kde configs..

  • PDA is under the environment of Jeode, carry out applet question with swing

    Purpose : Under the environment of Jeode in PDA, links APPLET webpage on websites, and APPLET is " import javax.swing. *".
    Question: Not knowing the problem of how to go to solve swing bug of applet , it is unable to read webpages to cause pda.

    Right. Make "number" a field, and take it out of the
    method signature for paint.
    Because you didn't use the same signature, you didn't
    override the existing paint(Graphics) method, you
    just overloaded it. That means that when the GUI
    thread tries to make your applet paint itself, it
    calls the original paint(Graphics) method, and not
    your paint(Graphics, int) method -- and so your
    method never gets called.
    Hi Paul,
    Not to sure whether is this what you mean by above statement, i just understand the statement in bold, anyway i ammend the program , this time i declare another variable outside the init() and paint() call int num
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Draw extends JApplet
        int num;
        public void init()
        \\ask user for input (1, 2 or 3) = String numberStr
        num = Integer.parseInt(numberStr)
        public void paint(Graphics page)
            for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++)
            switch (num)
            \\ my statement code
    }Anyway it works, thanks..:)

  • [SOLVED] KDE I/O not working

    Hello, all.
    I have a wonderful little laptop running Arch with openbox. Earlier today, I decided to install Kate. In usage, I tried to save my file, at which point Kate crashed. I then re-opened Kate, and tried to open a file, and Kate crashed.
    So, I figured it might be a problem with Openbox, so, I installed KDE, and tried to run it in KDE. Well, it turns out, the plasma desktop won't load. It simply loads a white background, starts my programs in the autostart directory, but no desktop.
    Here is a screenshot. I opened Firefox from the terminal (Guake is one of my autostart programs) to demonstrate what happens when I open a window.
    When I initially installed Arch (about a month ago), I first installed KDE, because it was the easiest to install. Everything worked fine.
    A week or so ago, I had customized openbox to my satisfaction, so I uninstalled KDE. Before I did that, KWrite worked just fine. I tried Kwrite today, and I had the same I/O problems.
    The KDE Settings manager also refuses to load properly.
    Here is a screenshot of my vain attempt to run the KDE settings manager in Openbox (It has worked before).
    I found a post on an openSUSE forum with a similar issue. The solution in question did not solve my problem.
    I found nothing searching the ArchWiki or the Arch Forums.
    Basically, I am having trouble even isolating the problem, let alone solving it. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Cheers, Metgz.

    Lone wolf: I just re-installed all of KDE, but to no avail.
    If I am not mistaken, the 's' will prevent needed packages from being removed, and, because it proceeds 'c', will override it.
    REMOVE OPTIONS
    -c, --cascade
    Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one or more target packages. This operation is recursive, and must be used with care since it
    can remove many potentially needed packages.
    -n, --nosave
    Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. Normally, when a file is removed from the system the database is checked to see if the file should be
    renamed with a .pacsave extension.
    -s, --recursive
    Remove each target specified including all of their dependencies, provided that (A) they are not required by other packages; and (B) they were not explicitly
    installed by the user. This operation is recursive and analogous to a backwards --sync operation, and helps keep a clean system without orphans. If you want to
    omit condition (B), pass this option twice.
    -u, --unneeded
    Removes targets that are not required by any other packages. This is mostly useful when removing a group without using the -c option, to avoid breaking any
    dependencies.
    hout orphans. If you want to
    omit condition (B), pass this option twice.
    Perhaps I should be using -Runs instead.
    As for more potentially helpful info: I decided to try out various KDE applications to see if they would work. The links go to screenshots.
    Dolphin - No (See a screenshot of Nemo for comparison).
    Konsole - Yes
    Konqueror No
    Kate - No
    KWrite - No
    Plasma desktop - No
    KDE system settings - No

  • Multiple-jar applet question

    Here's a basic question that none of the examples seem to address. If my applet is comprised of multiple jars (some dynamically loaded based on system configuration), do they all have to be signed, or does just the jar file containing the applet entry point need to be signed?
    Conversely, could it be that only the jar files that contain code that wants to write files to the local file system need to be signed, or does everything need to be signed?

    Conversely, could it be that only the jar files that contain code that wants to write files to
    the local file system need to be signedThe Stack needs to be "trusted" code. If an unsigned applet "not trusted" calls a method
    of the signed applet it should not be allowed to do "trusted" things.
    One example is when you call a public method of the applet from javascript. There is a
    sollution other that signing all.

  • [Solved] KDE 4.4 Knetworkmanager, has anyone got this to work yet?

    Been trying to get knetworkmanager working on KDE 4.4 and haven't got it to work yet.  Well initially it did work.  Here's the steps I did.
    1) Had network running '/etc/rc.d/network start
    2) Installed 'kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement'
    3) Commented out interfaces in '/etc/rc.conf' and defined dhcp:
    eth1="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
    4) Set hostname in '/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf':
    [main]
    plugins = keyfile
    [keyfile]
    hostname = pavilion
    5) Added 'networkmanager' to daemon array in '/etc/rc.conf'
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond alsa hal kdm dnsmasq networkmanager cups netfs)
    6) Added 'network' group to user:
    gpasswd -a gen2ly network
    7) Stopped network '/etc/rc.d/network stop'
    8) Brought down interfaces 'ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig wlan0 down'
    9) Started networkmanager
    /etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
    10) Started networkmanager applet (seems to me it was already started but I guess not??)
    11) Got connected to network.
    After reboot however, the networkmanager applet is telling me 'Unmanaged' when I rollover it, and when I click it it says 'Network Management disabled'.  I've tried a couple things (like un-commenting the network devices on the interfaces line and restarting) to no effect.  Doesn't seem I'm able to get it up again.  Anyone else had luck with this?  Did I miss something?

    Ah, anti-destin that is exactly what was needed to be done.  ... Thank you!  Threw be off a bit, it did .
    Off-topic somewhere here now, Ok, a good deal off-topic.. looking at the wiki page for configuring I think the wiki under section, 'Disable interfaces' is erroneous.  Does NetworkManager really parse rc.conf?  I can't think of any reason it would need to.  I'm thinking that NetworkManager would naturally scan and then do dhcp on wired, followed by wireless.  And for those that do a static ip, they can configure the applet.  To test, I put this in my rc.conf:
    #eth0="dhcp"
    #eth1="dhcp"
    #wlan0="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
    And it worked fine.  I'm thinking I could erase them and not have a problem.

  • [Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

    Hello,
    I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
    I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
    "For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
    Desktop effect system is not running."
    For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
    Any ideas?

    Some Extra information:
    I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
    I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:

  • [Solved] KDE 4.4: Dolphin no longer sees Windows partition

    This is a bit tricky, but I figure someone may have just have come across this bit of oddity... or hopefully, might have an idea of how to fix it.
    A week ago, I did a clean install of Arch and KDE.  When I would start Dolphin it would start up and show my Windows partition (labeled like '34 MB Disk' or something like that) in the sidebar.  It was real handy: I could click on it and it would mount my Windows partition - easy to get to files on it.  A week after this, I decided I needed a swap partition so I used gparted to resize my / partition from something close to:
    Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
    1 32.3kB 23.1GB 23.1GB primary ntfs boot
    3 24.3GB 60.0GB 36.7GB primary ext4
    to:
    Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
    1 32.3kB 23.1GB 23.1GB primary ntfs boot
    2 23.1GB 24.3GB 1258MB primary linux-swap(v1)
    3 24.3GB 60.0GB 35.7GB primary ext4
    I also labeled the Windows partition to 'Windows'.
    When I rebooted, I remember opening up Dolphin and there was a partition named 'Windows' on the Panel sidebar.  However, when I went to set up the swap, I noticed that 'fdisk -l' showed the partitions in the wrong order.  At the end of the output was the message, "Partition table entries are not in disk order".  A bit unsure about this, I learned that I can fix this with fdisk (fdisk in the extended menu has a 'fix partition order' option).  After doing this and rebooting, I can no longer seen my Windows partition in Dolphin.
    I've tried a couple things, like restarting again, and erasing the dolphin configs (~/.kde4/share/apps/dolphin) with no luck.  I'm not sure if this is a HAL problem, or if the partition table entry is a bit corrupt, or what.  Was hoping someone had an idea.

    Um, no.  Good question toad.  This is what I'm getting:
    # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win
    Unexpected clusters per mft record (-1).
    Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
    Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
    The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
    Ok, I've tried a couple things now and got it fixed to a degree.  When I installed a swap partition in the middle of the partitions, this altered GRUB's knowledge of the partition tables, and I had to reinstall it.  During this I accidentally installed GRUB 'setup (hd0,0)' to the Windows partition.  But I don't think this caused the problem.  I say this because when I did [wiki]MBR#Restoring_a_Windows_Boot_Record[/wiki] the Windows partition still didn't show in Dolphin.  Instead, I had to repair the Boot Sector as described by a friendly guy in the Ubuntu forums.  Because this was a Boot Sector issue, it looks like the fdisk command did this.   Anyways, I'll describe it quickly here in case anyone else comes across it.  What you need to do is boot from a LiveCD and either install TestDisk or use a Rescue CD like Parted Magic that does, then start 'testdisk' and do these steps:
    No log
    Choose Disk > Proceed
    Intel
    Advanced
    Select partition > Boot
    Rebuild BS > Write
    And voila, next reboot, I'm able to see and mount my Windows partition again.  Phew.  So it looked like the problem is fixed, but not quite.  When I rebooted and tried to load Windows GRUB hung, it showed one line, something like 'GRUB loading stage2' and it wouldn't go any further.  Has anyone run across this before?  I use Windows from time to time so, hoping to find a way to get this fixed.
    Edit:
    Found out more, take a look at this post:

  • [SOLVED]nm-applet taking too much memory (sometimes all the processes)

    Hello,
    One of the reason i chose Archlinux (archbang) was to keep the system small to fit in my little 512MB of ram and i've been happy so far but for some reason i noticed that nm-applet is now taking a *lot* of memory, around 40mb while it didn't use that much.
    Here is my ps_mem after a fresh boot:

    I could live with an applet taking 40mb on a more beefy machine but being just behind chrome looks wrong. So i'm not sure what has changed, at the moment i just kill the process but i considered switching to wicd if it's ever better but it appears that it's not well maintained.
    Any hint?

    Thanks for your answers.
    I needed to use my computer and it wasn't usable so i just reinstalled my distro and went back to normal, while tweaking the OS i made various reboots to check if it happened again and how...
    And the problem of my system taking 240ish MB at boot vs 75MB is actually the nvidia drivers, after installing nvidia-304xx the memory went up a lot, but removing the driver and switching back to nouveau actually make the system way less greedy memory-wise, there is still a bit of mystery in one of the case where everything was fine but nm-applet but i think it's half solved here.
    PS : I gave shot at zswap but it made my computer unusable and freeze a lot

  • [Solved] nm-applet not appearing in gnome panel

    Hi all.
    I recently replaced my wired network card with a wireless one.
    I then followed the instructions at the following pages to get the correct software installed:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … orkManager
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
    My only problem now is that nm-applet does not appear in the gnome panel.
    Both nm-applet and networkmanager are running though, but the network is not up.
    If I then kill nm-applet and run it from the command line, it the creates the icon in gnome-panel and automatically connects to my wireless network.
    I've looked through all the related posts but I can't find anything that helps.
    I've tried to make my DAEMONS section of rc.conf as simple as possible:
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond dbus networkmanager alsa)
    but that didn't help either.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
    As a side note I have a another machine with exactly the same wireless card with a fresh install and it works perfectly with regards to nm-applet.
    Perhaps it's a config setting that is causing the problem?

    Well since upgrading to gnome 3, I no longer have this problem so setting to solved.

  • [SOLVED]nm-applet fails to launch after update

    Hi,
    I've just updated NetworkManager and network-manager-applet:

  • Two applet questions

    Hi there,
    I don't know if it's good to post two questions in one post, but I think it's okay since they are just small questions.
    First one: When an applet is dragged out of a browser, I have to close the browser if I want Java to ask me if I want to create a desktop shortcut. Is it possible to change this behaviour, or will it be changed in the next release?
    Second question: How can I re-integrate a JavaFX-Applet into the webpage? There seems to be no other possibility than to use that default small close button provided by Java, but I'd like to call it from the code. That must be possible?

    Yes, I tried this, but it leads to "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not call FX.exit() twice".
    Is there some way to do it like it is in standard java? Because there's the possibility to implement a function for the closeListener (or something like that), and then it's possible to directly call the listener to put the applet back into the page. And it hides the standard close button. Maybe we get this functionality in JFX 1.3?
    I'm currently using stage.close(), but that leads to the problems I already described.

  • [Solved]KDE 4.6.3/firefox 4.0.1 flashplayer crashes exiting full...

    Just updated to KDE 4.6.3 today, soon thereafter I went to southparkstudios.com using firefox 4.0.1 to watch an episode. The flash video played fine but when I go to leave the video's full screen mode it crashes X and drops me at the kdm screen. I tried it repeatedly and with two different kernels, the vanilla 2.6.38.5-1 and 2.6.38.5-1-lqx, with the same exact results.
    I also have an Xfce 4.8.1 setup on another set of partitions (same kernels) with exactly the same browser with exactly the same add-ons and plugins and no probs whatsoever so it looks like its related to kde somehow.
    I have a bunch of these in ~/.xsession-errors too.
    plasma-desktop(1598)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
    plasma-desktop(1598)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
    Couldn't really find much else as it crashes silently. Just that the xserver was terminated unexpectedly
    Anyway, I know these little issues do pop up with flash from time to time. And I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing similar issues and/or aware of any work-arounds.
    arch, 2.6.38.5-1-ARCH and 2.6.38.5-1-lqx

    Update - switching to flashplugin-beta 10.3r181 from the AUR solves the issue for me and seems to work quite well so far. And  I didn't mention, 32 bit architecture here.
