Install failed.
Some Linux distributions by default do not install the package Netcat (nc command). It would be good to put Netcat to Application Required for this monitor. Mandriva 2010.2 KDE does not install by default the package Netcat. So even though the package hddtemp and lm_sensors, Oxygen System Monitor would not work.
Without the package Netcat (nc command) installed, hddtemp will not work.
Recently I was looking for something I could replace my conky with. This is really a nice karamba theme. If you don't mind I'll modify it slightly to suit my distro and my needs. I wan't to make it almost exact clone of my conky :-) Best regards!
Is is possible to take away parts from the applet? Like I do not need the temperature of my HD.
curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e 's/<html>.*<body>//g' -e 's/<\/body>.*$//g'
Thanks for the widget. I had to do $/etc/rc.d/hddtemp start For permanent solution, on ArchLinux, I just had to edit $DAEMONS array and add "hddtemp" in that to get the HDD Temperature to work.
Hi, am using opensuse 11.3 with kde 4.4.4 release 2. when I try to install oxygen sensors through the file it asks if its a native plasmoid or superkaramba file, I select superkaramba nad browse location and select file and click finish, it says the file is already in my home folder! Then again in widgets list I dont see any app which says sensors or oxygen sensors. Whats going wrong?
Hi, Is it possible the monitor could also display disk usage in terms of transference rate? I have that in gkrellm and it's really useful when you are running applications with high disk transference, and it's the only reason I'm not using the oxygen system monitor yet. Thanks!
Hi, I'm trying to get 0.7, but the one that the server has is 0.5! Please fix! And also, I want to report a memory leak bug. After hours of uptime, dbus-daemon, because of Oxygen Monitor, eats up to 1.4 GB of ram, and all of the swap memory!! Thanks!
I'm the only one who gets the "0.4" version downloading the last release?
I have been able to install in 4.3 using the command line: plasmapkg --type=superkaramba -i OxygenSystemMonitor.skz
I just cannot add it to the Widget list neither it is in the .kde/share and so on.. How can i have it in my widget list like in 4.2 KDE ? Moreover i would like to ask if it uses that much CPU only to me.. However its so nice thats why i want to keep it. Thnx
I was looking for a good-looking and useful system monitor and your Plasmoid fits my imaginations really best. Looks great on my desktop! Thanks for sharing this with us!
It doesnt work for me either when i try to install it from plasma.. However u can get the transparent via superkaramba but its not that good.. So we hope you get a solution soon! I try to install it but it does not appear in the list of plasma gadgets. thnx a lot!
The plasmoid doesn't work with kde 4.3, can you fix this ?
Sorry for my bad english. Oneway to start Oxygen System Monitor on KDE 4.3.1 1. Install "SuperKaramba" packets. 2. Start "kwrite" type : [Desktop Entry] Exec=superkaramba {location of theme file}.theme Name={theme name} Type=Application X-KDE-StartupNotify=false like this: [Desktop Entry] Exec=superkaramba $HOME/Downloads/Plasmoids/86664-oxygen.skz Name=Oxygen Type=Application X-KDE-StartupNotify=false 3. Save as "oxygen.desktop" in "$KDEHOME/Autostart/." 4. Restart User. Greetz ToM.

1. For Amarok stop button is onclick="dqdbus org.kde.amarok /Player Stop" it is qdbus not dqdbus 2. On Ubuntu (Intrepid and Jaunty) is version of sensors: sensors version 3.0.2 with libsensors version 3.0.2 and it give this output: k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +42.0°C Core1 Temp: +40.0°C so it doesnt work with sensor code program="sensors | grep 'Core 0' | sed 's/Core 0: +//g' | sed 's/ .*//g'" I fix it: program="sensors | grep 'Core0' | sed 's/Core0 Temp: +//g' | sed 's/ .*//g'" 3. It show oxygen version 0.5 instead 0.7 Can you fix this errors in new version?
should be modified: lm_sensors should be lm-sensors my thanks to you, and everyone who worked on this widget. your efforts to make the world kewl are appreciated! ventper
The download link appears to download 0.5 Theme Version : 0.5 Last Modified : 04.10.2008 That comes from the oxygen.theme file. The reason I ask is because the Amarok artwork doesn't work and according to your changelog 0.7 should fix that and it would be really nice :) Other than that the theme is incredible. Thanks!
HI, very nice plasmoid !!!!! but my CPU temp is not working ? any idea ? pentium 4 3.00 Ghz thx
