In Conky we can find out which are the active outgoing or incoming connections by using the "tcp_portmon" service. This is very helpful for monitoring the services.

Is there any plasmoid available which does the same in KDE?

I'd try socket sentry http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/So ... ent=122348

That's Great!! We have a plasmoid already!! Many thanks for the link.

But when I tried to install under Kubuntu 10.10 beta/KDE 4.5.1, I got this error message "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable : kdebase-workspace-libs4+5 (>=4:4.3.2)".

I tried to install from .deb.

Not a problem. I was able to install from source. It is working great. Thanks for your help and pointing to the right widget.

the problem seems to be that kdebase-workspace-libs4+5 when tested during the install does not result in it being greater than 4.3.2 (4.3.2 > 4+5) which is a requirement built into the deb.

you have the following choices:
1) ask the author to change the requirement
2) see if there is a Kubuntu version of the plasmoid
3) compile from source
4) see if there are Kubuntu updates to kde4 (inc a 4.5.1 kdebase-workspace-libs4)

Hi all. I am the author of Socket Sentry. Yeah, the dependency problem is a known bug that shows up in Kubuntu with KDE 4.5. I'll have a fix in the next release. In the meantime, installing from source is the way to go. Glad you find the Plasmoid useful.

Hi rhasselbaum, Many thanks for the socketsenty plasmoid. It's really very useful.
