Plasma 6 Support

[zany130]

Plasma 6 is out any chance of this getting ported?

Used it for 7 years and would very much appreciate a Plasma 6 compatibility.

Same here

I've done a quick-and-dirty port to Plasma 6 in my fork: https://github.com/Iridias/plasma-simpleMonitor
It has some (IMO minor) issue, but basically works (at least on my machine ^^).

Maybe I'll open a PR - but my last PR with bugfixes for proper Plasma 5.27 support is still open to this day - so I guess there is no need to hurry.

Thanks for that!

I tried to compile and install, which looked good so far:

However, when I want to install it it does not show up in the list of apps. I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed

Well, I followed the instructions...

Checkout with --branch did not work, downloaded source manually, compiled, and result looks good! Thank you for your update!

I downloaded the source and used cmake. As far as I can tell everything worked fine. When I tried to put the simple monitor to my desktop, plasma complained about incompatibility with V6. It seems the plasma shell considers it a V5 plasmoid.

I am on Arch and Arch does not provide a plasma-framework-devel package. On Arch I only find a plasma-framework5, which is installed on my system.

Any advice?

Hi Iridias, and first, thanks for that port :) I'm happy to get simple monitor back again :)

Running under plasma 6.0.4 on Opensuse Tumbleweed, I've followed the "plasmapkg2 -i plasma-simpleMonitor-0.6.plasmoid" way and had no problem with the installation.

The first problem I got running the widget was an error in the widget about QtQuick.Controls version 1 missing. I've solved it by forcing the import QtQuick.controls to an upper version in /contents/ui/main.qml (works with these : 2.12 or 6.0). I can put a PR on your repo if you like.

Now the widgets works but has a few issues : the misc. tab in config menu doesn't work, and CPU temperatures only show for the first 4 cores on mu 8-core system. That might be linked, because as far as I remember, the CPU config is precisely in the misc screen ;)

Thanks again !

[Iridias]

CPU temperatures only show for the first 4 cores on mu 8-core system

That might also be due to the way, the temperatures are fetched now - using the "brute force" method by parsing sensors ...not quite elegant, but at least it works

the misc. tab in config menu doesn't work

right. I fixed that in the last commit
