build/runcommands requirekreadconfig5. - Do not run the
install/reinstallscripts withsudounless if you want the plasmoid to be placed in/usr/share/instead of your home directory.
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/
Where KDE's default plasmoids are stored.~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/
Where downloaded plasmoids are stored. It's also where this plasmoid will be installed to.
Install package nethogs
Run sudo setcap "cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+pe" /usr/bin/nethogs once on the system so that sudo permission is not required for running nethogs.
- Try packaging qmltermwidget within the plasmoid with a Cmake build. This should fix all the version issues.
- Provide packages for major distros.
- Support for button form in panel.
- More configuration. (Suggestions are welcome)
Restart plasmoid command without restarting whole plasmashell.Use a shell. Keyboard input (along with Ctrl+C) works.Support for Keyboard input.DoneMake sudo commands runnable.Sudo commands working now as the keyboard input is available.
Note that official KDE software is only mirrored on github, however github is much better for navigating the codebase.
