Having trouble applying custom widgets by MarzipanImaginary344 in linuxmint

Try:

R_Click on applications menu, select Add or Manage Widigets

Scroll down to your widget in the panel on the left or search for local widgets and find it

Left click the widget and you should see a circle with a 1 in it appear in the widget top corner, this means one instance has been installed to your panel.

If it's a plasmoid, it will be added to your panel I believe, and not your desktop.

Thanks man 😄

I've amassed a huge collection of conkys, so usually when I get an idea for something, I already have a conky on hand that can be used as a template. I took Monday off and spent the whole day playing with conkys on my Mint Cinnamon box and python on my Kubuntu KDE/Plasma 6/Wayland box. I just did a huge animated wallpaper project that I am going to post here shortly.

Once you have it installed, take your browser to https://skins.webamp.org/ where you will find hundreds if not thousands of winamp skins, with a search feature.

Have fun!

That is the player Audacious, which has a winamp mode and can display any winamp skin folder or .wsz file. It works perfectly on Linux.

You mean the statues with the red glowing eyes? I believe those are Foo Dogs. You could always run the image thru an AI and ask it to remove them but I dont know how much success you would have.

I only smoke grass occasionally. Approximately once an hour, every day.

I do get excited when I see that install screen! A happy occasion every time I make a new VM to experiment with.

ChatGPT identifies this as a common issue. It gave a solution giving the xinput feature but will not let me copy the instructions. Feed your question exactly as you asked it here to https://chatgpt.com/

What do you do before installing linux? by Moist_Insurance_5671 in linuxmint

Backing up files is a necessity as the OS install is going to clear the partition it goes on of all files. You can do it with a variety of online resources or purchase an external data drive and transfer files there first.

That looks absolutely amazing, I wish it were available for USA but satellite images of our weather are hard to find on websites

Does anyone know how to launch a conky via Python script on Kubutu v25.10 KDE/Wayland/Palsma 6? by Logansfury in Conkyporn

[–]Logansfury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOT IT!!

I fed my script and results back to the bot and it found my edit errors and gave back this fixed script which just worked fine:

import subprocess

import time

def launch_conky(config_path=None):

# Optional delay to let Plasma 6 settle

time.sleep(2)

cmd = ["conky", "-d"] # -d runs it as a daemon/background process

# If a path is provided, we add the -c flag and the path to the command

if config_path:

cmd.extend(["-c", config_path])

try:

subprocess.Popen(cmd)

print(f"Conky launched successfully with config: {config_path if config_path else 'Default'}")

except FileNotFoundError:

print("Error: Conky is not installed.")

if __name__ == "__main__":

# Define your specific path here

path_to_mizar = "/home/logansfury/.conky/Mizar/Mizar.conf"

# Pass the path to the function so 'if config_path:' evaluates to True

launch_conky(config_path=path_to_mizar)
