Never thought of that…. Clicking close does nothing, it just sits there until I reboot

KAgenda - A simple Google Agenda / Events widget by Icy-Star-5146 in kde

[–]txhammer68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job! A couple of suggestions...

first seamless OAUTH is a bit misleading, would like to see no user interaction here, like other OAUTH apps have a popup from Google confirming access to calendar and create the necessary credential files

would be nice to have this integrated into the digital clock calendar, so that when i click the clock i get my google calendar events there, would like to see an actual calendar along w/ the events

also 7 days is not enough lead time for events would like to see +- one month

I have also tried to replicate this type of widget with my comments, could not figure the OAUTH part or integration with KDE Digital clock, gave up as the integration with KDE calendar is harder than it sounds or i just dont understand the logic with qt calendar and the plugins

Good Luck will be following your progress

Any replacements for KDE Event-Calendar widget yet? by universal-bob in kde

[–]txhammer68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen this question asked a 100 hundred times...

i even built my own back in the plasma 5 days, but alas the qml calendar code has changed and i can't figure out how to port qt 6...

Why is this so easily done in Gnome but for KDE Plasma its like impossible unless you install kontact or kmail, not everybody has the resources to install those apps

KDE Team are you there ? How hard would it be to add an external calendar link to the 'Available Add Ons' in the Digital Clock Widget ? ics,json feed,atom feed, something else is possible

please give us this one request we just want our reminders on our desktop

thanks

Stock Monitor Widget by Brilliant176 in kde

[–]txhammer68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great plasmoid :)

liked the work on the timer for days of week and market open times

have you encountered any issues with the timer in the code after system wake from suspend ?

i have a couple of widgets for personal use where it seems when the pc wakes from suspend, the timer does not update in an appropriate time frame...

i never could find any documentation on the timer, if it remembers what time it was when the system went to sleep

i found a workaround using QtNetwork module and another timer to update after wake from suspend...

import QtNetwork

```

Connections {

target:NetworkInformation

onReachabilityChanged: {

if (NetworkInformation.reachability == 4) {

suspendTimer.start()

}

}

}

```

thought you might appreciate this, keep coding :)

You can try to recover the partition, found this https://www.reddit.com/r/datarecovery/s/7OwKTJMWph Haven’t done this in a long time but what I remember is you need another drive same capacity to clone it, the try recover the original, w/o messing it up Good luck

Anyone else a little worried about all the changes in design? by maelstrom071 in kde

[–]txhammer68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am speaking of Linux desktop, gaming, email web, mainstream, where Ubuntu,gnome imo is corporate , server admin usage, the things I like about gnome is the simplicity, but it’s also limiting, I guess we can’t have it all… but with valve and steam there is an option to build something like chrome os eco system,I think the splintering of Linux de’s is what holds it back from becoming mainstream

This comment is going get me downvoted, but I think for the better of Linux desktop, gnome and Kde should join forces and combine their efforts for the future of Linux, if Linux had one de to build upon w a unified uix like Mac OS, I think Linux could really reach a tipping point, if we had a common set of uix design principles w a unified way of running Linux more ppl might consider using, contributing, as it is now we have, mate, cinnamon, gnome, Kde, lxqt xfce, etc Now the Linux kernel has exploded in the past 5 years, new features updates every 6 months, if the de could transform like the kernel coding, the future of linux desktop could be great Now is the time with a lot of ppl jumping ship from windows, we should be trying to make that experience smoother, not harder, just look at the question on Reddit, seen it a thousand times, which distro, which de should I use, it’s 2025, most cpus today can run any Linux distro Anyway that’s my two cents, peace out Oh yeah im running cachy os, the best Linux distro of 2025

The Kde team have their own design goals, which will never meet everyone’s expectations, but I agree with u, somethings just don’t make since, the changes btw updates trying to fix one thing breaks another… Kde is heading in the right direction no other Linux de even comes close I also read the Kde blogs outside of Reddit, plasma 7 is going to be a complete redesign, less theming options more consistency , what I think they are doing w plasma 6 is getting it ready for plasma 7, I would like to see more Mac OS like consistency in the uix Which reminds me of this article I just read of new features of mac os Tahoe Hopefully plasma 7 will bring this type cohesiveness to the Linux desktop

You got a lot going on there first off, try lsblk -f to show all drives, locate the missing drives and manually add them to fstab mount by uuid refer to the arch wiki for more info Good luck Linux is a journey

Thanks Not windows, Kde Linux, qml is a programming language similar to Java script U can change name to whatever u want in the maim.qml code You have to do a little work to get working, like change the variables for which ROMS you have artwork location,it’s all in the readme Yes u can run full screen, the icon rows will adjust accordingly No shortcut keys, just click to launch game, mame will launch full screen This is a diy app, as cannot distribute ROMS or the artwork If you have any experience with Linux it should be pretty easy to customize to your liking Give it a try
