You can bet i'm happy :D - Jun 17 2010

It's great to know it's technically possible, also, I hope you enjoy hacking on it and this containment find its way to main Plasma. - Dec 12 2009

Sorry if I didn't explain myself in the previous comment.

Sometimes it's really hard to explain to others what on your mind are simple concepts, and almost always it's better to explain it with just an image, so here it is:

Great! I've been looking for a while for a way to stack all my notes plasmoids, this seems to be just what I needed.

Do you think a stacked disposition (I mean, some plasmoids partially covering others) would be possible?

Thanks for your work and keep on it :D - Dec 12 2009

Also, if you could somehow make this work with the weather wallpaper it would be awesome. - Jan 26 2010

This is a cool idea, hope you keep working on it to correct this small problems and improve its performance. - Jan 26 2010

Also a more "neonish" battery icon would be great - Aug 28 2009

(I'm trying it now under 9.04 which ships python2.6, i'll try later with 8.10 again)

It partially works now, although plasmoids installer warns about installation errors.

To use it, I've entered:
Polling directory:
/var/run
suffix
*.pid

Daemon startup scripts:
/etc/init.d

Selected a few daemons as they are correctly listed, clicked Ok. The selected daemons shows in the plasmoid, all with a + symbol before, but clicking on any of them does nothing.

So a great improvement here :D - Apr 24 2009

Yes, there they are.

Also there is a tool called chkconfig that allows to control the services from the command-line, if you want to check its code. - Apr 23 2009

I've been talking in #kde-devel and _Sime pointed out that the format() function that i've been removing only exists in Python 2.6, while i'm currently at 2.5, thats why it fails. - Apr 23 2009

Wow, triple post, sorry about that :D - Apr 23 2009

Looking in the xsessions-errors log I've found that most errors come from the use of format() property to give color to the labels: "object has no attribute 'format'"

After removing that calls from the lines 69 and 80 and changing the default daemon polling path to 'var/run' for example in 165 in main.py the plasmoid interface shows in desktop. It doesn't show any daemon, but at least the interface shows.

Now, if you try to configure it, xsessions-errors shows another "object has no attribute 'format'" error that corresponds to #74 in configdaemons.py, removing the format call again makes the configuration dialog work too.

Now, the only thing left is substitute the current format() calls for another that can be applied and know where the daemons can be polled in Debian based distributions.

Hope this helps. - Apr 23 2009

I've been waiting for a plasmoid like this for a long time. There was an early attempt ( http://blog.ratonred.com/2009/01/a-new-stuff-with-the-power-of-plasma/ also written with Python) but I never get it to work and seems like it's been abandoned.

Now with DaeMon, I've tried to install it in Kubuntu 8.10 amd64 and I get the following error:
"Installing the package DaeMon... failed"

Then it shows in the add component dialog but when you add it to the desktop it shows the following error:
"Could not create a python scriptEngine for the DaeMon widget"
so I went and installed 'python-plasma' package. Then added the widget again and now another error shows:
"Initialization script failed"

Hope this can be of any help. - Apr 21 2009
